@ Luis: http serve4 of your sites works again :yes @ Para: cc07 is a very bad quality campaign (just like cc02), there are 'ghost scenarios' mentioned in the .cam file but actually not part of the campaign. maybe i can try to remove them with pg2 suite. edit: cc07 should be playable in its current s...

Sorry, I am extremely annoyed that the automatic download of maps is still not working. What do I have to do? Do I now have to manually reinstall the maps as in grandma's time? Which files do I have to download and in which folder do they have to be saved? I just want to play with an existing insta...

ok, i've added the pg2 user manual to our site

Trying to unpack the exe (using 7zip) creates a CRC-error.

The OGX pack is fine.

that's strange, both are created by the very same script, and both wotk for me correctly

?

would you check the filesize of the rc.zip, please? it should be 10,996,860 b

OGX.exe version 0.93.4.30.OGX ... tested and committed !

great! both rc and ogx downloads the missing *map files from the open-general.com site

EDIT: the links on our website are added to "update packages"

please feel free to correct the descriptions if i messed them up

BTW: Obviously I have to upload to "open-gen.com", where do you prefer to put ( OpenGenRC.zip and OpenGen/OGX.zip)

whatever you prefer

actually you can commit the exe (either rc or ogx) itself, and i immediately write a script for creating a dl (zip) package for it

Yes, the same folder than jpg files :yes are you sure about it? i've uploaded all *map files to the same folder as jpg, and they can be dl-ed manually: https://sites.google.com/site/lvjtn9/Screenshot_20200513_184553.png but when i tried to check & dl the missing files for cc01 after removing all *m...

:welcome Lagi I suggest to update Manual at least with this two information (Close Defense all cases of use - maybe in some table format? Mention that Range defense is add to ground defense if attack is further away than from abut hex). Otherwise you left player wondering what exactly the two main s...

If downloading old .map files manually is a big problem we could upload to open-general.com all the .map files too, so OG would be able to download them automatically too. yes of course, we can unpack this zip file. from where does opengen try to dl the *map files? the same folder what we use for t...

A total of 37 maps were missing, which I could not load. as a temporal (or permanent?) solution, i uploaded the 1660 old pg2 map description (*.map) files i collected to our site: http://www.open-general.com/install/pg2_maps.zip it's linked on the " special installer " page idk what's the problem w...

I've found that my site cannot be reached by http, although I can access using ftp :dunno i've checked the 1600+ old *map files i got, and jh3* maps are included. imo i can add a static zip package of the old pg2 map description files to our website, though we can add them separately for auto dl, s...

idk what's happening in other users' life now, i can only tell you how my activity changed: first of all, i'm fine, i have a job, no relatives are infected, none of my loved ones have died, BUT my mood is very depressed, as if i were imprisoned and the key of my cell were thrown away and i also spen...

i gladly inform you that your beloved/hated fellow lvjtn won't dry out. my favorite wine tavern invented the online shopping. the first supply package is on its way to my besieged quarantine hq

take care and keep safe, y'all!

I once again ask to remove me as a moderator of the german forum please.

done! would you check it please? (e.g. can you edit/soft delete somebody else's post?)

Shinobus had a problem i still don't know what's Shinobus' problem: he spoke about dirt ports, but we still don't know what about the real ports, how can we reproduce this situation (efile, campaign, scenario, savefile) at all regarding your sarcasm: when you act as a designer, you also have very s...

I guess i found the solution. Please check if the checkbox "ports dont allow deploying naval units" is checked. If so, uncheck it. first of all, this seting affect both real and dirt ports, if real port allows deploying ships but a built one doesn't, not this setting will be the solution secondly, ...

I can transport units from the dirt port hex, I just can't deploy any kind of shipping from the HQ.

ships can't be deployed at a dirt port, afaik

Hello there :) :welcome here! I'm using the latest build, I built dirt ports but unable to deploy any sea crafts there? What am I doing wrong? lol thank you. in suite? or you just posted it to the wrong place? anyway, if it's in suite: my guess is the terrain is not sea/ocean but shallow, where som...

:howdy Bülent, it's not the virus (though it's scary too), but the human beings who make me tired, you know, sharing fake news, panicking, spreading rumours, acting like a 5y kid (e.g. seeing their emotional limbo between "we al die tomorrow" and "everything will be fine tomorrow"), etc., etc. ok, m...

i completely lost my mood, all i need is a

or two, probably

but i guess this bar is also under a lockdown

it's hard to say that everything will be fine when you see the world what we knew collapsing, i just hope that your strong spirit help you to cope with your medical issue, Gábor. a legjobbakat kívánom!

So right now it is impossible to create musketeer-like units as only aircrafts' attacks are affected by weather.

unless you set all units as air type, i'm afraid it's not possible to implement your idea with awc special, yes

How "Healer" works? Default value in Suite is 0. I need to set a number how many times an unit can act as a healer\repair bay\whatever? the value represents how many sp the healer unit can give back the healed units, so zero means it can't heal. and the healed unit couldn't be overstrengthened abov...

it's a very interesting and good quality campaign, though there can be frustrating things like the stacks (when more units stand on the same hex), Doug loves them a lot, so be prepared...

happpy unting!

I forgot: Just to be clear, not all names are missing. When i have 15 leaders, maybe 1 to 3 of the names are missing ingame. In either efile. is it possible you started to play these campaigns with another version? +1 would you check ogx (march 8, 2020), please? idk why Luis hasn't announced it as ...

:welcome Mark I can set your JP's avatar and rank ooops, i've done it before reading your post (yep, travelling inside the country is cancelled now in hungary too, so i spend my holiday in my flat) btw. just in case jp will be shut, i've dl-ed the special ranks for 99 jp users, i'm dl-ing their avat...

Has anyone else observed missing leader names with RC7?

do you have both names and namesex in your efile? if yes, please delete the obsolete names.txt

(i use the latest ogx, released on two days after rc7, and no such bug occurs)

Well! But what if I want to add paratroopers who are absent in the templates! So if even we have the templates for some country, it doesn't cover all possible cases. Besides, a templates are simply not available for many countries as you said... so coping-pasting is still necessary. again: i'm spea...

just for a comparision, i payed the original campaign. here you are my core after volokalamsk a few comments: - cap is larger, despite of the original efile was a low-cost efile, whic means a HUGE difference - my core at 25% (ssi) is much stronger and larger than it was at 75% (openak) *** OpenGen 0...

Anyway I don't like this idea. :disgust Then I will have to rename a lot of my new icons and this will surely lead to the confusion and errors! Besides, we will not be able to find out who actually is the author of icons. :notsure So I would like to keep "LExxx" ID for my icons... ok, you don't lik...

Sorry, but how can i find out which icos have been added to the openicos.dat? Some norwegian infantry? I have no idea :bonk in the future, i'll post the full svn changelog, here you are the current one (revision 172): A: added D: deleted M: modified -------------------------------------------------...

first of all, i never used sound, so i'm not an expert, i just try to answer till Luis has some time to reply 1. for me, it's not obvious, what do you mean about "my sound folder". there is a main sound folder in the root of the game, and each efiles can have their own local sound folders. the local...

Rzhew Meat Grinder (...) All map prestige is: 110 (...) if BV: +200, Operation Uranus , cap 22200, 15 turns prestige: 1500 sorry to interrupt your playtest, but this is an absolutely wrong design. when the in-scenario prestige (1600pp) is 8 times larger at 100% than the after scenario award (200pp)...

and this is where this playtest ends... ussr has too powerful airforce here, the ad gun is a bad joke against il-10 bomber. and i REALLY wanted to build an airforce (=only fighters, as i consider the tb class a rubish waste of money), but the cap is too low in this campaign, and the core i have is a...

What are LE+ icons? those icons which have names (also a unique id) starting with the "le" initial, so e.g. le049 or led38, etc. if you are a player, you really shouldn't worry about the details, just use the latest openicons package. efile makers can read the related thread and know what new icons...

the new openicons and icon templates are available in the repo, as announced yesterday I can't replace for example the old JuanKar's icons with my ones. What if JuanKar (or someone else) decides to make new icons instead his old icons and sees the icons of other man instead of his old icons! I don’t...

12. volokalamsk - ltbv another ssi-like scenario, where a.i. was too passive (iirc it had zero recon, which is a big mistake, if you want to use the improved features of the new 3.0 a.i.), i could have won it bv-3 the weather was mostly bad, so i bought two temporal recon planes, they were very han...

11. novgorod - ltbv i don't understand this scenario. in general, most (if not all) scenarios have expanded bv limits by 1-2 turn(s) in this campaign, which is reasonable, because the resupply is more complicated. and a scenario, like staraya russa, with restricted pathes, bottlenecks, can be even ...

Now, if default style icons would be changed, the used ( this for that nation) icons may not match anymore. yep, it's always a chance we misunderstand each others, none of us is a native english speaker here. ;) anyway, when a new style icons is "upgraded" it usually means a few fixed pixels, not s...

but that's exactly what they do

10. kishinev - ltbv +2 leaders pushed my core hard and got an easy bv, and still missed 1100pp after refitting my core. this scenario was pretty ssi-style, and this time ai was very passive (maybe it had no chance or enough firepower to counterattack) made another unnecessary upgrade: the monster g...

when there are many items in the HQ, the first implementation didn't scroll the list when clicking cursor right to go to the next unit (...) now it is handled properly.

i confirm that it works, and i checked, and the <home> and <end> buttons work too

9. malta - ltbv +1 leader and a towed at proto (after 2 reloads) this was when i gave up Owen's blitzkrieg a few years before, and my opinion hasn't changed yet: openak is one of the worst efile for naval battles. moreover: now the three strongest italian ships are msu what i should keep alive. for...

wow! i literally played a tobruk scenario, and my wish came true

for me, it works like a charm (up and down weren't really important, unlike a fast cycling for each units seeing which can be upgraded

7. tobruk #1 - ltv (mandatory) ok, there is one ting what i absolutely don't like: despite of the standard resupply is disabled and only cities and depot units allow the resupply, the terrain still affects the resupply, so a unit standing on a sand hex, can't be resupplied near a depot unit! :ohno ...
