I will release a new version only after I finish working and checking Soviet prosperity sphere, which will probably be today.

First of all, about Persia. WTF? It worked for me...(same as Hollands partition),
I realy need to check it out.

Here is my small "manual" of "how to make screens and upload them" :

1. Ingame, focus on the "picture" you want to recieve as screenshot, and press F11. Now you have a screenshot which is saved in the folder of the game(not in one of the subfolders, but in the big Doomsday folder)
2. Convert your image to JPEG. I believe you know how to do it
3. Go to www.imageshack.us and upload your file(the explanation in the site is simple so I believe you will understand how to paste it to the forum and such)

Good luck, I want to see those screenshots.

EDIT: Im useless , you already did it

According to your screenshot, the Soviets should get Holland. Im curious, did the Dutch Dillema event fire?

I think not, since HOL didn't exist from the beginning on. Maybe it's useful to mention that this screenshot is from the Götterdämmerung scenario.

I think it has no connection, since the European partition events include all the liberating. Basicly, the ruler of the capital should get the country. All the other majors secede the rest of the country to him(in this case) and then he liberates it.

I think I know what is the source of the problem, but I need to know one thing: Did the Dutch Dilemma event fire?

EDIT: I KNOW WHATS THE PROBLEM!
It is because Holland didnt exist after all. Ill tell you how the " Soviets liberate Holland " event works, to make you understand what went wrong.

First, if the Soviets rule Amsterdam and the war is over USA annex what is left of Holland(to prevent the Soviets from getting a foothold in the 3rd world).
Then, they secede European part of Holland in case they conquered/recieved part of it.
Then, the Soviets release Holland(USA keeps the colonies of Holland for itself).

The problem is that in some cases, Holland is destroyed(like in your case, right?) and then the command which inherits Holland is useless. In those cases, UK can get part of Holland for itself, and there is no "UK secedes holland" event(until now, I just created it and adapted the chain so it would be used correctly ), so it gets divided.

Reasonable?

Ok, I checked the "history": dutch dilemma didn't fire.

Are you joking? The triggers for that event are extremely simple

1. Soviet own(not control, OWN) Amsterdam.
2. Germany doesnt exist ( Old Germany is dead)


One of those surely happened, cause I just saw the "new" 2 Germanies.

Maybe Soviet Union doesnt own Amsterdam? just control it? Please check it!

You are right. The province ist owned by the USA but occupied by the SU. Very strange.

ill change the trigger to control. No big deal I think .
You can even do it urself if you want to get rid of that bug right away.

Great, I will soon include it in DD-SMEP ( you just have to remind me )

I want to tell you that I started working on a Soviet "new order" in Europe. I just thought that it was a shame that the allies/axis/japan have their prosperity spheres and such while Soviets only get puppets with no possibility to expand. The event triggers will be SU ruling pretty much entire Eastern and Central Europe(Yugoslavia is exceptional, cause it has a chance to join the Comintern without being a puppet, so I included it only as Soviet ally, not puppet, since if it becomes a puppet, it will be in the Comintern anyway) and the most important, ruling over entire Germany.(Germany is united under DDR)

The new order will include: Poland being reduced greatly, it will lose its entire coastline, Eastern Prussia, and the "Eastern" part of the country(including Warsaw).
Romania will suffer greatly as well, losing its coastline, Transilvanya, and the entire inner Northern part of the country. It even losses Ploetsi.
DDR will lose most of its coastline, including Hamburg(not realy part of the coastline...).
Czekoslovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria will have only "minor" losses. Each will lose one important province. CZE losses Kocise, HUN losses Debrecen, Bulgaria losses Varna.

Now, for the tricky part of the event, the second Winter War.( since now Finland doesnt become a Soviet puppet after the war), which can cause the West to intervene(and cause WW3, duh ).
Stalin will demand more lands from the Finns in claims that those are needed as extra buffer zone. If the Finns accept Stalin's demands, you will soon see a "Communist Coup supported by the Red army" event firing and Finland will become a Stalinist puppet. If the Finns choose to fight, the second winter war will start. Finland will ask the west for help, and the west will have 3 paths: Aid the Finnish people(materials, supplies volunteer divisions etc...),
start WW3(allying with Finland againts Soviet Union, includes automatic aid to Finland, the aid will be greater than in the "Aid the Finnish people" path)
, and the last path, of course, stay out of the conflict.


I hope I will finish making all of it today and also manage to defeat Germany(hopefully with no allies "aid") and give some screenshots of the new Soviet order.

What do you think?

WOW! I like it alot! But i'm not sure i quite understood when it happens?! Is it only when europe is entirely soviet-dominated? IE, soviet holds paris... Or will it be the standard outcome of WW2? In the last case, it's a bit much i think But if soviet liberate paris, then it's entirely justified! Starting the third world war with a second winter war (it doesn't necessarily need to be winter does it??) is also a great idea. But what about the case where soviet annexes finland during the first winter war? A soviet dominated europe is mostly for a human player, and a human player has no problems beating finland during the winter war. But great idea! I'm looking forward to see the screenshots!

It happends under this circunstances:

1. DDR rules entire Germany, no DFR!
2. Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland , Hungary , Bulgaria are puppets
3. Yugoslavia is in the Comintern (Yugoslavia is a special case, cause it has a chance to join the comintern without being a Soviet puppet)
4. Finland exists.(It doesnt matter if Finland is a puppet, since i included "end_puppet" and "leave_alliance" commands in case Finland doesnt cave in to Stalin's demands)

About the 2nd Winter War(I just call it the Finnish War in game, since no one realy knows if it is going to be in the winter ), Finland gets heavy aid, 20 inf divisions and 3 Armour, and 15000 supplies. Anyway, of course they will lose..., the important thing is that this conflict can lead to WW3! ( Like other dumb conflicts in the world in that time ) Which will also may save Finland from extermination.

EDIT: expect screenshots soon, since Im now going to check it(time to defeat Germany )
Wish me luck

Here is the screenshot of the results of the new Soviet strategic victory chain:

http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sovietstrategicvictoryvt4.jpg

Europe was punished!

Poland was stripped out of entire Eastern Prussia, and her entire border was moved. The capital moved to Lodz since Warsaw is given to the Soviets as well.

Romania lost entire Transilvanya and the northern part of the country. They are reduced to their coastline and their Southern area.

Hungary was reduced to almost a rump state, losing most of the important provinces.

Czechoslovakia lost Slovakia, except Bratislava, the Slovakian capital.

Finland lost what was left of the border with the Soviet Union after the Winter War and became a Soviet puppet.

Looks good,fresh blood does alot for a mod.

I've never played SMEP before and I'd like to hear confirmation about the mod: is the small .rar file all I need to download (and unpack, naturally) to play with DD SMEP? Hard to believe mod that looks so promising can be in so small file!

DD-SMEP consists almost entirely of eventfiles in *.txt format. If you've ever written a 1MB sized text file in Notepad, you know how much 1MB really is.

In comparisson, while my DD-tech mod is over 60MB uncompressed, more than 50MB of that is pictures. Since DD-SMEP includes no pictures it's comparatively tiny.

 

[Gen. Skobelev]

Thank you for confirmation. I guess I just wanted to be sure I hadn't missed any nifty installer with redundant graphics pack. Anyway, on to conquering the world then..

So, do you think I should now release a new version? ( with Soviet strategic victory included? )

EDIT: Is there any part you want me to change?

EDIT: Is there any part you want me to change?

Do you have events for France standing up for the Czechs and peace events for that and a possible new order. Along with that, do you have peace events for allied victory in 39' or '40. Also, under what circumstances would the Soviet "New Order" Event be fired, maybe also the poles should get to keep land up to the Bug river (I.E. including Warsaw).
