You need to open Units Setting View (gun icon on toolbar) or the Map Settings View (next icon to Units in toolbar), and then click the typical "Purchase" icon to pop up a form to select units to add.

Hi, I try to edit an EQUIP file with Open Suit (unticked "Can Air Attack") but this did not affect my saved campaign. What should I do now? Thanks! :welcome to Open General If you make changes to equipment file when a scenario/savegame is loaded, you won't see any change, because OG loads the efile...

Last, but not the least, LuizGuzman, thank you for the reply, however, can You affirm that there is no known way to simply disable the custom cursor of the game, maybe via some OPENGUI .png shenanigans? I wonder if when deploying, mounting in transport (ground, air or naval), disembarking etc., the...

Yes, thank you. I sent you my email in private. Whatever you have is ok, i guess.

It appears the site is down. Is there anywhere else i can get this EFILE? Google literally has a single result, and it's this post

I have only version 1.02R16 ... if you want that, I can send by email.

Why didn't you say so in the first place instead of showing me empty message windows? Because you posted: For standard "capture them all" scenarios, the little status window between each turn states the scenario goal as " Capture any VH ", which can be misconstrued as "capture one and you're done"....

But in your first post you reported "Capture any VH" which is a different message. There are two (2) issues here: ..... :thud I do appreciate your comments, but I think it is better to show like it is: Only when conditions are not the standard, additional info is included. If you want to more info,...

While starting a new scenario, during the deployment phase, you can deploy planes in carrier hangars, but you can not deploy units in other classes' hangars, even if they work just fine during the game . Examples: Deploying deploying infantry into ships with infantry-sized hangars. (See my EFile fo...

Sorry but I cannot wonder where do you see that "Take any VH" (or similar) in the turn dialog

(if you have not debug-mode enabled the yellow text is hidden

For a "Hold #VH" condition I see:

Not a bug but a cosmetic annoyance: For standard "capture them all" scenarios, the little status window between each turn states the scenario goal as " Capture any VH ", which can be misconstrued as "capture one and you're done". I'd suggest to change it to " Capture all VHs ", which is more unequi...

Somebody please refresh my memory: Is there a limitation on fortification class units getting a leader (assuming their "no leader" special isn't checked)?

Yes, fortification class units cannot get a leader, same that: GTP, RTP, ATP, and HTP

RC5 had 2 glitches: new $evade_special value == 32 was disabling evading regardless Evade special. polish map server was not checked properly Both issues are fixed now (RC5.1), but at this moment I cannot access my sit by ftp, so I've uploaded here: https://www.file-upload.net ... but McAfee webAdvi...

I just want to make sure I understand well If I delete the og_repos.ini file, the map is not available on the first two servers, -> should be downloaded from the third server (pl)? Yes that is how it should work Unfortunately, this is not how it works ... After restoring the ini file - works fine. ...

Hi Luis If I may ask - will you add a third server to the exe file, to the official version? :yes RC5 already include -pl server as the 3rd in the sequence, so if you prefer to Dl preferably from .pl, you still need to use the .ini file Thus the next official version 5.0 will include that too :howdy

That would be great! Thanks!!! :clap :cool :notworthy Can download new OpenGen 0.93.4.RC5 (Release Candidate) from my site, adding the possibility to add 32 to $evade_special making subs having the efile's special "Evade" ticked to avoid evading Please test a bit this new option so I could promote ...

That been said, and the real reason I'm posting this, would it be possible (pretty pretty please!) to make "evade" a toggle?... I know it's pretty late and the features are more or less frozen, but still, it's the only way to make working sea mines... (Pretty pretty please?) Well, the easiest way t...

You are right, the .rar file includes an old png

I'll fix in coming next RC package

I thought None was using RC2 already

Thanks for clarification

Have you tried to configure class_evade = 60,20,70,20,50,0,20,0,10,50,65,65,55,30,30,100,50,20,10,10,0,0,55 * Can define a specific basic evade probability for each class. * Must define 23 values delimited by commas * Can define all basic probabilities the same prefixing value with exclamation mark:...

Thanks, but I finally made you a small test scenario , it's easier to handle (in the actual scenario you'd have to fight for a while till you can land your troops...). Drop it in OpenGeneral's existing NOKORP EFile scenario folder. It's a tiny map with two destroyers carrying each an infantry unit ...

Or could you send me (Ctrl+B) the same scenario failing to embark infantry units into carrier? That I can do! Could you please elaborate on the "Ctrl+B" thing? How do I make that work? Does it send the currently loaded scenario? Sample screenshot image Once pressed Ctrl+B click the check-boxes with...

Sorry, lost the habit... It has been ground_carrier=9 in the equip.cfg (no scenario .cfg), since the first version of the EFile (the one you have), since infantry hangars was something I wanted to play with for years. (I also tried =8, just in case, nothing changed.) Is there another setting I migh...

How did you set $ground_carrier in the .cfg cascade files affecting that scenario ?

Sorry Luis, i didn't express myself well :bonk I mean if a single nation in the efile can have more than 999 units. I ask because the number becomes 4 digit with 1000+ units and want to ask if that will cause any problems in the game/suite. Currently i have Germany at 999 units but would add some m...

Just a heads up, since it's not really important (and becoming less and less important by the day), but in 0.93.4.2RC the weather animations (rain and snow) don't work on WinXP anymore. It's a texture size issue and I fixed it easily by replacing the new rain and snow files by the previous ones (fr...

Hello Luis :howdy I want to ask if a nation can have more than 999 units or will there be any problems? Units are limited to 800 units currently, which are divided between the number of players, so if 4 players in game, each player can have up to 200 units (for all nations in that player), and if o...

I use a lot of experience ranges for units, so if you want to total the experience, you would need to take the average of the experience range. So 100 - 200 the experience value for that unit would be 150. Still do not understand this :huh What do you want to sum if the unit has an experience level...

Something that might be a useful tool in Open Suite for scenario design is a tool which totals up all the experience and all the strength points for each side/player. I don't think it would be too difficult to code, just a matter of iterating through all the units and totalling the numbers, multipl...

In what universe the release candidate is released one year after the final, official release???

Obviously in "my universe"

0.93.4.RC2 (Release Candidate). is the release candidate for the next official 0.93.4.2

But I probably should name it as 0.93.4.2rc
