OK, here's my next set of data updates. For testing please install my previous data update from post #27

The data update from #27 worked fine for me so far.

\db\events\germany.txt
2000/2060: someone forgot to sleep 2061

Was it really forgotten? The startdate may be increased to the historic date of of the re-occupation as this event is supposed to enforce the re-occupation by a human plyer.

\db\events\vichy_new.txt
100007: Damascus had no airbase to place the air unit to

Hmm, at least in earlier version france often build an air base there.

\scenarios\1936\usa.inc
\scenarios\1936\uk.inc
\scenarios\1936\japan.inc
retooling time for the convoy builds commented out

Why delete the retooling? There is no longer any technical necessity and as convoys require retooling it seems appropriate not to remove it.

 

[Pang Bingxun]

Event 2905 in the new italy.txt lacks a closing bracket in line 255.

 

[Denniss]

The convoys are considered to be already in-production, a continuous output of trading vessels. It also somewhat represents historical production although by far not enough. At least it's a fix for the AI as it never builds enough convoys.
Fixed version uploaded, now also contains files from the first data set (only those not changed in set two), I actually forgot to properly sync the files.

2061 is blocked by 2000 or by an ai player, no need to keep it active afterwards.
Damascus: there's not always and airbase built in time so better to have one too much than none.

\db\events\france.txt
2800: invalid provinces removed from secede list (Arlon/Marseilles)

This seems to have caused a new problem. As Germany does not get Marseilles it does not give it back to vichy. Therefore in Beta 3 the free france keeps the city with its 5 IC.

 

[Denniss]

Marseille (364) is a core province for VIC so it gets it on release. If germany occupied it it's seceded to VIC in GER 2022.
If you have a special/strange scenario/situation I need a savegame to investigate.

Marseilles is usually the new capital after the fall of paris. Is there a relation? If Paris still is the capital the events works as designed.

If you have a special/strange scenario/situation I need a savegame to investigate.

That is a possiblity. Still i donnot see what it might have been the issue. And i did not save. I wil try to check that later.

 

[Denniss]

That's strange because the first action in event 2800 is to move the capital to Brazzavile.

 

[froglegs]

Is 108 B2 a fairly stable game?

I am hosting a 3 player LAN game and just started a 108B3 game without knowing then how unstable that game is. We have several hours invested in it. I would like to use our latest 108B3 gamesave and resume our 3 player game in a prior version that is more stable. Any reasons not to try 108B2 or should we go back to 107?

I can and often do deal with bugs. I just cannot deal with CTDs that cannot be worked around because of a faulty exe file. And, Ihave posted on a who;e ;ot of balance issues -- especially on the problems of CV warfare versus surface fleet combat -- all of which has been ignored.
