Can I play an old saved game from v0507 if I patch my game? I don't want to spend all that time micro managing the world market again

.
Let me think about that...

YES! Although you have to copy around your savegame to the new moddir directory
Any you will not have the new conversion rates, slower research etc...
So i suggest simply waiting for the spritepack later this day

Just looked at Feds TotalWar Event Files, there is an error in Vichy_X_1_0.txt:

event = { 
	id = 20252
	random = no
	country = VIC

	trigger = {
		exists = VIC
		war = { country = GER country = VIC }
		event = 20251
	}
	
	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
	offset = 1
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1947 }
	
	name = "Germany declares war on Vichy - Free France welcomes Vichy back"
	desc = "A desperate act of treason was committed today against 
our government as German forces entered the protected zone. The 
Free France government in exile contacted us and welcomed our government 
back into their alliance against the Nazis."
	style = 0
	
	action_a = {
		name = "Join back Free France" 
		command = { type = inherit which = VIC }
		command = { type = dissent value = -100 }
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "Do not Join Free France" 
		command = { }
	}
}

country should be fra not vic!

So far Steeleagle

Why the Germans only have Panzer III H-L (50mm) in "Fall of the Reich"? At the end of 1943 Germans got Panther V, Tiger I and off course Panzer IV but ingame you have to discover the tech to build them, i dont mean germans must have too many divisions with panthers and tigers but 3 or 4 divisions of Panzer IV and 1 of Panthers/Tigers coud be more realistic.

(I really hate those damn ruskies and his industry and manpower)

 

[unmerged(12730)]

In fact, the 1943 scenario is in its original raw version and was designed by an unknown person. I and all mods cannot remember who did it, but is already a bit "older". It can however be polished up in the future.

So far Steeleagle

Actually I think it needs more than that. The event needs to be for VIC to give them the option whether to join. The action_a should probably fire another event for FRA to do the inherit properly.

Nighty,

Are you sure that my new events are in the latest stony patch? I downloaded the patch but I could not find my events. I sent you a copy of my Germany and Italy events. I left out my England events since I am not sure if you like them.

 

[unmerged(12730)]

Hi redflag!
No, they are not in, because i had this data mismatch. However beginning of next week there is gonna be a new version.

Nighty,

Are my events causing a data mismatch? If they are please email me with which event numbers I can use. What you can do to see how the events work is attach them to a reguar road to war and see how they work. While I am here do you want me to use the England events to reduce surplus resorcesor stick with the German events to reduce surplus resorces and finish the events for Japan and Italy.

 

[redflag]

If you check your email I sent you events for Germany covering 10 years of war and about 4 years in peace time. Italy is also covered in this time period.

 

[Sharur]

Alright now I'm confused again (sorry... ). Should I download both the sprite pack and v0520, or is the sprite pack included in the new version? Furthermore, if I do move my savegame and play it under v0520, will that disable some of the changes? Finally, when I install v0520, should I overwrite the old v0507 stony road, or install to a new directory?

 

[unmerged(12730)]

Hi

The sprites are all contained in the Stony Road Package, no need to extra get the spritepack then.
Your savegames should work, but you do not need with installing, it will choose a different directory and you can still use both versions (0507 and 0520)

Hey N!ghty. I've noticed that if you uninstall 0507 after installing 0520 (using WinXP) then some file is missing (a palette) when you try to load 0520. It gets fixed after re-installing 0520.

Weird. I just wanted to let you know.

 

[hendriks]

Hi N!ghty,

After installing your sprite zip, I get a database mismatch;

"Palette 'GFX\palette\DEF5.BMP' not found"

This is probably my mistake, as I have reinstalled HOI recently and updated it with CORE 0.2, maybe there is a sprite in 0.2 that is not in your zip?

Can I add a DEF5?

Yes, reinstall the M26 Pershing, the def5 belongs to it. But still i cannot imageine how you managed to delete it ..

As for Procer, yes, maybe one of the sprites uses a standard palette, gets copied there on install and gets deleted with uninstall then...

I've removed HoI, reinstalled the game, installed patch 1.04, and then installed Stony Road v0520.
This creates a shortcut on my desktop, called "Stony Road Multimod v0520", which upon clicking produces this message : excel file not found.

What did I do wrong?

1943 scenario...

Played the 43 scenario for a while. Managed to keep the allies and the USSR our fairly easy. Norway was already taken b England which isnt correct. It stayed in German hands until the end of the war with 400.000 man garrison if I rmember correctly. Also Finland is not in the war when the scenario starts, they were not kicked out until 1944. Germany has no AA in western Europe nor any fighters. I think they should have some. Allied strat is really devastating at the start but once you get the 162's youre fine. Werent they called 262 scwhalbe? Otherwise an interesting time to start a scenario but it could use some adjustments...

You may have installed the mod in the wrong folder. HoI's folder should be ...\Hearts of Iron\ Point the installation files there. But first you may want to delete your current Stony Road 0520 folder, wherever it got installed in the first place.

Good luck.

Someone pls correct me if i am wrong.

 

[unmerged(13243)]

Yes, that was my mistake. Thank you!
