Nomonhan, I got another problem...

In my game, I activated the commonwelath_defeat.txt and every single time, I finally get event 599003 and click "Accept the puppet-status", the whole game crashes... -.- Any idea, what may cause the problem?

Also there are some others problems I found. f.e. if the AI goes for "We can not risk a war with Germany" or "That´s too offensive - start another attempt in time", there's just nothing happening anymore regarding that event series...

Drat it! Will try rewriting the events and when done send you a PM with attachment or a link so you can test. I'll be very busy with work related stuff for several days, and won't be able to do testing myself. Did you load up fatherland? Because that's the easiest way to test the series.

The "That´s too offensive - start another attempt in time" option does nothing but the event repeats itself every 10 days, until the blockade flag clears. Sooner or later the AI will make a definitive decision to either push the issue risking war or back down.

Nah, just implemented the file in the events2.txt

Still playing the 1936 scenario. I have a savegame, right before the event series should occur, so testing won't be a problem.

I just cannot think of any possible reason, why the game crashes, as soon as the UK should actually get puppeted. The specific event looks good, as far as I can tell.

Stahlwolf,
I got an idea for you to try--edit events 599020 and 599025. The set_domestic values should be 1, not 0. See if this fixes the problem:

event = {
id = 599020
random = no
country = ENG

name = "Forced into Isolationism!"
desc = "The Grand Powers have decided that Britain can keep its current government, but it will not be allowed to take political action on any side!"

action_a = {
name = "That´s the best we could get!"
command = { type = set_domestic which = interventionism value = 1 }
command = { type = clrflag which = BRIT_REFUSE }
command = { type = clrflag which = BRIT_BLOCK }
}
}

event = {
id = 599025
random = no
country = ENG

name = "German Puppet-Government"
desc = "With the new German -inspectors- in our Government, the democratic values are gone forever. We are a puppet!"
picture = "fascist_britain"

action_a = {
name = "It was inevitable"
command = { type = set_domestic which = democratic value = 1 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = political_left value = 1 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = freedom value = 1 }
}
}

No luck...

Just crashed again. Any other ideas?

Hey Nomonhan. I finally got around to installing your mod. I was using the 1.3 beta 2. The spy system is all screwed up. Was this not set up for arm 1.3? I used the .28 link.

@sonofliberty
1) You probably forgot to apply the overwrite in zpatch_arma13. Right now the mod is 1.2/1.3
2)Welcome aboard. I'd be interested in any ideas you might have about improving the American AI.

@Stahlwolf
I'm working on a complete redesign then.
Try replacing the entire file with this:

Ok, let me check that.

son of liberty · Jul 29, 2009

I did all 4 files in the zpatch_arma13. The spy system still seems afu. Says that there are 1.7 million odd spies in my country or something like that. My check sum is RMAW, is that right?

@sonofliberty,
There are 4 directories needing extraction (overwrite existing files) not just 4 files. Sorry I can't verify the checksum, since on my system I continually develop things, constantly altering the checksum.
The ones that will fix the spy system are in the config and db folders.

Ok, testing the new series right now...

found a dead end --> event 599006

If the Americans go with "We can not risk a war with Germany" nothing happens (waited a whole month after that) anymore, although IMO the Brits should actually get event 599022.

Same thing with event 599004, if the Americans go with "These are European Problems, not American ones".

Ok, just got event 599003 and it crashed again...

ozman2 · Jul 30, 2009

One last try at a fix--event 599025 may not be needed.
replace event 599025 with this:

event = {
id = 599025
random = no
country = ENG

name = "German Puppet-Government"
desc = "With the new German -inspectors- in our Government, the democratic values are gone. We are a puppet!"
picture = "fascist_britain"

action_a = {
name = "It was inevitable"
command = { type = dissent value = 1 }
}
}

Let me know if this works. If not send me your save and I'll test it sometime this weekend.

Stahlwolf · Jul 30, 2009

Nah, same as usual...

I'll send you that save game tomorrow.

Ok, the spy system is fixed. However now whenever I start a game I get "The scenario file has errors" with no further explanation. If I ignore, it seems to let me play but I am worried that after investing 20 hours I may get a bunch of stupid ctd's. At first glance I don't see any problems in the scenario file, but with out more information I don't know what to look for. Is this normal for your mod?

ozman2 · Jul 30, 2009

"Scenario files have errors" is most likely caused by not installing the map minimod. Be sure you've extracted the files:
province.csv
events2.txt
They are in the db folder.

I thought I did, but I will check again.

son of liberty · Jul 31, 2009

I ended just redoing the whole install, but it works now. Did you do something to ensure the game goes more historical? The ai has taken the historical option at every point so far.

ozman2 · Jul 31, 2009

@sonofliberty,
I did not make major changes in vanilla except for a few additions here and there. For example I have some minor events added in 39-41 like an ai only annexation of Yugoslavia to decrease the chance of it delaying Barbarossa. You can always get (un)lucky though, just as in vanilla. Also my German AI tuneup gives enough forces so that Germany can pull off Barbarossa--in the vanilla this sometimes failed to happen due to insufficient German ground forces.

On another subject, I've been looking at the American AI and don't really know what to do except for increasing their nuclear research, and decreasing strat bomber production a tad, and increasing sub production to reflect the Pacific War. I'd suggest playing someone else (Germany or Japan) and report on what you believe the American AI's deficiencies are. I do plan on putting the nuclear technologies on the preferred list and increasing US secret weapons research.

1) Overall cleverness.
2) One problem I recognized compared to earlier patch versions of HoI2: Transport killing/protection. The Japanese AI has become so frakkin' good at transport killing, it's not even funny. But on the contrary the American AI still does not protect its transports properly.
3) As you already mentioned, nuke research. In my current game, they don't have 'em, although we already have 1949.

I will do Germany as a second game.

Hi Nomohan: sorry for the delay, but I have finally gotten around to working on the missing ENG models (work has been intense of late and I have had minimal spare time). Please see the link below. I have only included pictures for air units that did not have pics in either vanilla ARMA, and did not have pics in your mod already. As I may have mentioned earlier, no pressure to use any of these if you do not like them.
