[Because as I explained, my submarine "fake transports" do have ammo (and obviously fuel), and all my campaigns are based on "supply_ex=12" (8+4)... Of course I can change that for a submarine campaign, but it would already be more difficult for a mixed campaign (having both submarines and other, l...

Ok, I changed to take ammo from the unit not the transport (if required by $supply_ex ) So if you set $supply_ex =4 and the sub_ex has ammo, it doesn't matter if the NTP has or not ammo Sorry but I don't see the problem: Check the "Milchkuh" assembly in my test scenario: The SUB part has no ammo, s...

There is no GTP or ATP or NTP in my equipment but when I try to buy an unit all units what has hangars appears as "possible transports for buy"... Hi Duke When buying units the game shows on the transports area both the available transports Grey background) and also the units that can hosts/embark ...

Of course $supply_ex must be set to 1,2,3 or any sum not multiple of 4 (as transports has no ammo to spend). :hmm Why? Some transports do have ammo, since they are armed (not trucks or horses obviously, but APCs for instance). And in this specific case, I can give the NPC submarine "shell" as much ...

Good news :banana I added the last special (called: Supply Unit) to allow a transport (only transports can have it) to make the unit having that transport to be a "Depot" (same than if that main units were ticked in Units View ) Of course $supply_ex must be set to 1,2,3 or any sum not multiple of 4 ...

But this is difficult, because some/many designers could complain if I do that. Why would they? If it's an optional "Special Attribute" it doesn't change anything to the existing E-Files/campaigns, does it. Nobody is forced to use it... :dunno Because is the last slot !!! and it has been asked many...

:lol So -- It's impossible, huh? Nothing is impossible, just more difficult or debatable! I wrote before I'm sorry but I didn't understood that you try to configure a naval supply unit as equipment, not as unit. And that is quite a different question, much more difficult to do I was thinking on add...

You lost me here. What's the difference?

Forget that, I really misunderstood you

Anyway if you set the NTP, in the Suite, as the organic transport of the sub, it should work. Yes but no, as I said, you can't set the "supply" bit for organic transports , only for a TP-class main unit . Composite submarines are SUB-class units with a NTP-class organic transport , and thus their "...

:howdy I made a quick test (with my special efile_test) and it works as expected either if: A.- You assign in Suite a NTP as organic transport to any sub. Sub can mount(go surface) or unmount (go submerged) and can do while moving. B.- You buy in game a Sub once you have: - set in efile/cam/scn .cfg...

Easy: The idea is to have a slow "submarine"-class unit (lets call it for instance " Type IIB SS (cmp) "), and a faster "naval transport"-class unit (let's call it " Type IIB SS (surfaced) "). You put the "submarine" submarine into the "naval transport" submarine, and thus either it is submerged an...

Do you have any more time now?... Not many, but some more. Still wondering if/how I can make supply submarines using the composite submarines (submarine+naval transport) trick... :yes I need to review all code related to fuel/ammo. specially how a unit "mounted" spend/refit fuel and ammo. Whenever ...

Hello Luis :howdy Did something change with the healer units in the latest exe? Previously the healer unit and the damaged unit had to stand still for one turn before the damaged unit got healed. Now i can drive my damaged unit next to the healer and in the next turn it is healed already. So basica...

I have short hours... :lol Here you are, mini-test campaign . Thanks for the mini-test campaign :bow Now there is a problem I didn't remember (but it's probably my fault): Even when inside a scenario I have two units with identical leaders (I used the above example of "leader #1, 3/23"), giving the...

Could we please have it check this and reuse leader slots?

Faster if you send me/post the End_Previous_Save_Game and the Next_Scen to load

One question ...

Wouldn't be better to use always, in AAR, short abbreviations for units' classes (INF, TNK, RCN, ...) instead of using both short and long denominations ?
What do you think

Strange, for me the 'list of player's units" is "untickable" (is that even a word?) even after just starting OG and going into the AAR settings, but also after loading an old save game (from a month ago). As I wrote before, you need to load a save game made with RC3 to allow changing these two opti...

Besides, strangely enough, the AAR panel gives me full stats for the whole campaign (which I started 2 weeks ago). It somehow did have the data (like total/scenario kills for each of my core units). I thought the ability to tally total campaign kills was new? :huh Total kills for a campaign have be...

[EDIT: i can untick all boxes on the left but 'list of player's units' and 'current scenario data' will always be ticked. It is not possible to untick them. Ahh ... As those options were not optional before, I set as "ticked" if the game version (new units struct) loaded is not the new one :doh Obv...

it displays much better than below when it is copied to the forum.
Put it in "code display" brackets ("</>" button), that will preserve whitespaces and tabs.

good suggestion, actually I forgot to mention

The 6th option is is ticked but i don't see any units, no matter if i load a savegame or start a new campaign. It works for me, but sometimes I've found that same issue happening with other programs. Try to enter AAR settings, then untick the option, press OK, exit settings and quit the game. Reloa...

Using the new RC3 i don't see any of my core units in the AAR now. What do i have to do to get the old ARR?

List of units is now optional. Enter AAR settings and tick the option (6th line in left column)

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 ...

Got one of those too: "- Err - U:21 is a fighter but got an improper Leader! - Check CombatTest log file" Me too only got the message long after the turn it happened, so no log, but said "U:21" is an auxiliary unit, and auxiliaries aren't supposed to get leaders anyway .

Me again, bug again... :( There is a selection bug when one of your ground units is below an enemy plane : Sometimes you can't select your own unit, you only select the enemy one.

Me again. A nice thing to have would be the possibility to make sub-folders in the /Scenario folder, so you can assemble all files of a given campaign inside its own folder . You would have /Scenario/campaignA/[files] , and /Scenario/campaignB/[files] , and so on. This would avoid the current jumbl...

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...

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...
