RDD 1936 - 1999 for Darkest Hour

[ShiBDiB]

I am working on an update that will deal with the save and dissent problems

so safe to say this is completely unplayable now?

Also send me a pm, im willing to help out. (My mods are in my sig, their hoi3 but its all the same general coding)

 

[nsr433]

I think that the tech issue might be with the economic / scientific advisor's

 

[moxs602]

it was playable now with these new issues it is if you leave autosave off?

will look into the advisors

we have the DH team troubleshooting this as well now.

will keep you all updated.

Hey ShiBDiB I sent you a PM. Please check it out. Thanks,

It's OK, I can wait for the update (gotta do some family/RL stuff until next week anyway, had just wanted to load it and get a feel, so next week I'll just get the update and that'll be that). Just wanted to let you know about the problem. Glad to hear it's being worked on. Keep it up as this promises to be my new all-time favorite mod. Good luck!

Hey B when you get around to playing let me know if you still have the Ivory Coast problem. I had it to and I can help with fixing it. PM me

The Road to Doom's Day 1936-1999 for Darkest Hour PATCH is Ready

Light Version of The Road to Doom's Day 1936-1999 for Darkest Hour patch is available!

This patch fixes

"The crash is caused by the tool-tips of all nation specific doctrines. The buffer that is supposed to hold that tool-tip is 8KB in size and is too small for the effects of these doctrines. In result the game memory is corrupted and crashes occur."

So the out of control dissent and the save ctd's should be past. Alot of other smaller fixes as well. (Ivory Coast)

Install steps: RDD for DH Patch

1) Copy contents of RDD_for.DH.V1.Patch.rar (open with 7zip)
into - Darkest Hour\Mods\RDD

2) Launch Darkest Hour and look for RDD in the "Load a Mod" window.

*The first load takes a good length of time - be patient.
Loading after that is much faster.

**RDD for DH is more demanding than RDD - there is a learning curve.

*** This MOD is a work in progress, all versions will be updated as we progress.

Update

1 We will be Uploading a FULL MAP version of RDD 1936-1999 for Darkest Hour release on May 7th.

2 We will then work on a FULL MAP version of RDD 1890-1999 for Darkest Hour for target release of August 1st. ( This is instead of a 1914 scenario)

3 We will then work on a FULL MAP version of RDD 1790-1999 for Darkest Hour for target release of November 1st. ( This will be the Final MASSIVE Expansion )

There is and incredible amount of work to be done to achieve these plans.
Anyone interested in helping out please contact me.

If you are able or wish to learn -

Graphics
Event Scripting
Research
Leader and Ministers additions
AI Scripting

All need more helping hands.
Also Please, Please more FEEDBACK. We need to hear from you to make RDD better.

there is a problem with ships. I have played until quite late in the game and my ships have now only got a max organisation of less then 11%. which means that I will always loose naval battles.

What Nation and what year are you playing? Are your ships in supply?

 

[nsr433]

United Kingdom, and yes they are in supply. The max and min organisation depends on the type of ship so my carriers have 11/11 org. my destroyers have 3/3 org. There was no problem until I got quite far on the naval doctrines. I think that one of the naval doctrines might be having an effect on them, or the organisation might be going out of bounds ( but that should cause a crash?). The mines that I have are not affected! AND even though I have got british naval doctrine, the commonwealth doctrine says that I can research it. (this may cause problems as the commonwealth naval doctrine deactivates british naval doctrine)

Yea sounds like a tech problem. I will track it down for the next update. (which should not be too long)

What the hell this thing extracted is over 2 GBs.

Is it just me or were you lazy and just added pretty much your whole game folder?

There's even save games in there!

yes i have been working on this for 5 yrs, and doing color graphics for it. For a 65 yr timeline. Just so i was too lazy so i could mess up your download space. So sorry. And for a DH mod. What was i not thinking??????

Ok I will be online the rest of the day and the weekend. Send me an email or IM when your around. I will do my best to get it making sense for you. Whatever i can do.

 

[nsr433]

Update on Ship Org %. Some of my ships namely HMS Rodney which is a BBII has got the full allocation of Org. This makes me think that it might be a unit issue because the AI in some naval engagements has the same issue. Also I can't seem to be able to research Improved Hospital System event though I have exceeded all of the requirements, I also can not research Advanced Material Science and I have exceeded all of the requirements!

I'm not sure if it's me or the mod, but I get killed every time before 1940 now. In vanilla I was able to conquer the entire world, but in this my troops seem totally incapable of doing anything but dying, my economy tanks into nothing, and my navy/aircraft are inept.

Excellent graphics and additions, but it kinda kills it when I'm dead before I've even hits the 40's or 50's. : (

Hey S have you installed the patch? The game at this point after the patch is quite playable. There are issues of course that we are still working on to make it even better. Thanks for your feedback. The economy tanking problem was a symptom before the patch. That is why I asked. It should not do that after the patch is installed. If you did get the patch did you unzip it with 7zip and then manually copy and paste the contents of each folder into the same folder in the game to make sure that the overwrite worked? The game was designed for 7zip which is a free program and sometimes Winrar or others do not do a correct job of unzipping the files. I hope this helps. If you still have problems please let us know and we can talk via Messenger to help you out. Take care,
d

Hey nsr could you please read the post for Serrow just above? If the patch was not installed correctly you might get some strange symptoms. I have played as US, Ger, Italy, France and Sov without seeing any problem like this. The same thing with the techs. We are working on some important issues for the next update including the large number of units in the game which slows the game down and is pretty unhistorical. All of these were working fine in the Arma version and do not seem to have come out right after the move to DH. We will get them fixed and do the map conversion and start on the moving of the timeline back to 1891. Please let me know if you still have problems. We will try to help you out.
