Although it is obvious, here it is a sample of new custom " scen_name " _weather.txt Thanks! Most is obvious, but I did have doubts about the "#99 weather data for scenario" part (= the exact syntax it expects). :yes First line is a remark as you have guessed and the token "#99" is needed to let th...

Hi Luis, If it is possible, I would like the report from the editor to be customizeable. The current report is like a data dump and very cluttered. For instance, I would display exp, kills and "exp gained" because I don't want to see bars, transports, strength, prestige etc. The summary would also ...

Regarding leaders
I already had 15 leaders, in Trigger Heks I got the sixteenth
Is this how it should be after the changes?

I'll check, but have you checked if the 16th is a new one or is the same than one existing before it?

The way it worked (back then?) was that if you clicked on a unit on the right pane, available upgrades and transports appeared in the left pane. If you did not select a new unit on the upper list, but only a transport in the lower list , it would just upgrade the transport. (Transports were chosen ...

For the transport buying issue : As you can't upgrade in a standalone scenario, I made a mini-test-campaign . You get two core infantry units. Simply step on the Allied VH to win the first scenario, and in the second scenario's HQ phase, try to change the "Brandenburgers"' transport. They currently...

Hello Luis :howdy I am playing with OpenGen 0.93.5.RC1.f and when one of my core units got a leader in a defensive support fire in the AI turn i got not asked to keep/decline the leader.

Hi Brian If it is possible, I would like the report from the editor to be customizeable. I understand you mean from Suite not from game, right ? Indeed it would be the best option but I've not ever figure how to do :dunno Anyway I'll try to wonder a way to do. The current report is like a data dump ...

Still me. And could be have a way (in the "upgrade" screen) to buy transports for units which are currently not for sale themselves ? Right now, to buy a transport for a unit, that unit needs to be for sale too. What if I don't want the player to be able to get another of those units, but still buy...

It's just some special, weather-dependent scenarios which need special weather... I think, from my own point of view, 3 additional weather zones would be enough: "Rasputitsa" obviously, having 50% clear and 50% cloudy, during which 80% it is raining. Permanent mud can be set at scenario level. "Bad...

Could we have a spotting continuity on same altitude terrain ? Right now when you have a stretch of "hill", which actually is supposed to be a plateau, spotting is limited everywhere to 1 hex, which isn't logical, and I don't see any way out of this. Sorry I missed this, but I don't see any possibi...

Still me. Could we have more weather zones please? I suppose the game just reads the contents of the selected weather zone into some array, so it doesn't really matter if the selected weather zone was #3 or #300, does it? Why are we limited to only 22 weather zones? The point is to have the possibi...

I have some problem with the terrain.txt (what the game would convert to proper terrain file)... Each hex type (clear,city, etc...) has 15 lines (13. is rails, 14. is helo, 15. is custom) but there are 13 movement methods described: Tracked, Half Tracked, Wheeled, Leg, Towed, Air, Deep Naval, Coast...

Hi guys! I've started playing a bit again after a long hiatus. I've now got a modern laptop with high resolution (1920x1080) and a tiny 14" screen.

Thanks, but the .mapx has issues (Open Suite bug? See here ). Here is a new version, where sympatyk helped me put the names back in the .mapx.

Wish (but I assume that's too complicated to add at this point): It would be nice if transports' (land/air/sea) "special" perks would carry over to the unit they transport . For instance, if your infantry unit rides a transport having the "dismount after move" special (but the infantry unit itself ...

Can somebody please confirm how the " Range Defense Modifier " works? I have several notes which seem contradictory, and some others which seem plain incomprehensible, like "if P.range-stat is different than CbtRange or CbtRange <= 1 then P.EffDef += P.RDM-stat /2 else P.EffDef += P.RDM-stat"... :f...

When playing PBEM with the new leader options i get asked to accept leaders for the other player. Happens when it is my turn but the enemy unit gets a leader in a defensive action.

This RC1.f should fix also the issue asking to accept leaders when playing PBEM

I think I got it fixed, but I cannot test thoroughly ...

Will you test 0.93.5.RC1.f ?

How it's working? Why are there 22 such files (tiledecors)? Can read about tiled maps at http://www.luis-guz...

One more Luis, if you remember, i asked this many times, leaders to be more than 15. Ok i know maybe is hard, but i play many times with "cheat" and had many many leaders, without problems at game. Well, effectively it is possible to have more than 15 units with a leader regardless it is not possib...

Yes

I finally managed to send a proper report from OG with the freeze issue, save before turn end and all the logs. I hope it's helpful.

Sorry for delay, but I've been very busy this last week. I do not remember to have done any document summarizing the differences between AI2 and AI3 (only comments within the code). It is a rather long time since I froze the code, so I'd need to dig into the code to review the changes in AI3. Anyway...

I wonder if there is a way that victory conditions to be more than 1.
e.g. Kill MSU units and capture all VH's. I try it, but when player kills MSU unit, the scenario ends with Victory.

Not possible, all victory conditions are OR conditions, so as soon as any is matched the game os over.

I have a strange question at first: Could it be disabled that units get supplied on the map if they not stay in a city\port\airfield?
