DAIM and Armageddon v1.2

e-stab · Mar 16, 2008

The version for Armageddon v1.1 should work with Armageddon v1.2 as well since none of the relevant files have been changed.

Note that you have to reinstall DAIM after upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 though.

If you encounter any problems related to DAIM and v1.2, let us know.

Thanks, good to know

I did as you said
and I get a CTD every time UK vs Syria event launches.

however, if syria goes with "lets not annoy allies" (or something like that; i forgot the name of the unlikely response), there is no ctd.

I'm playing as JAP btw.

I'll run a handsoff with a clean 1.2 + DAIM installation tomorrow to see if everything runs as it should.

e-stab · Mar 18, 2008

I ran a handsoff over the night and the situation in early 1942 looked fine for the Axis. I'm running another one today, but I don't think there is a systematic problem between Armageddon 1.2 and the current DD-DAIM, they should be safe to combine.

Handsoff impressions from Armageddon v1.2 + DAIM:

Germany doing okay at this point, the Baltic states have been left intact.

Japan seems a little timid, but that might have to do with annexing and keeping whole China.

e-stab · Mar 18, 2008

From a second, different handsoff:

Germany on the way back to the Reich, they already lost the center. No more Baltic states this time.
The US decided to liberate North Africa.

Japan doing fine.

How did Sinkiang become chinese? China doesn't have any claims to Sinkiang after the fall of the chinese dragon and if they owned before that then Sinkiang goes to Japan. Or am I mistaken now?

Anyway, I'm playing with DAIM and all is going well. USA just kicked my nat china butt out of Australia and also encircled 6 of my mot/AC divisions. I had to evacuate 11 divisions by boat but most of them were destroyed by a massive carrierfleet waiting outside the port. I was surprised to see the AI actually winning over me, and not by a little too. They destroyed about 10 divisions and sunk large parts of my BB-fleeet that were protecting my transports. So no complaining about the major AI, but there is one thing that really ticks me off.

Minors never produce any convoys. I have released Korea but they won't build convoys so I can station troops in Jeju. Same with Greece, they won't build convoys so I can station troops on Crete. I guess all of these minors use the same AI-build file, is it possible to make a minor fix for this minor AI-file?

Judging from the history log and the savegames (anothers big thanks to PackMan for his HASB tool

), Sinkiang was annexed by its bigger brother NatChina when they lost territory to the Allies. They joined the Axis in 1942 and it looks like event 7010 fired in early 1943. The event is meant for the war against Japan, but it can fire during other wars as well.

I'm really reluctant to make any changes to minor AIs because I'm pretty sure that it'll open one Pandora's box of "small changes" after another.

Ohh, forgot that the events can fire against other nations and time periods. Myself I got the unified front for Nat China when I declared war on SU.

Understandable, but it won't stop me from saying; Pretty please, just once, for me.

hello, Thanks for the screenshots. How do get them into the forum? Did you have to shrink them or just using ctrl+v

My other question is I noticed that Italy has Nice and Grenoble provinces but not Corsica or the Tunisia state provinces from what it looks like the Vichy France trigger event, or did Italy actually occupy those two provinces.

Also what year or time frame is the PTO screenshot? I notice that Guam isn't taken over by Japan and I am assuming neither is Wake island but I can't see that.

EDIT: Oh, I am sure I didn't see the game dates at the top. oh well.

I made them using F11, shrank them somewhat and loaded them up to a picture host. Then it's just a matter of putting (IMG)link(/IMG) around the address, replacing the '(' by '[' and ')' by ']'.

Not sure myself, I didn't watch the handsoffs.

All screenshots have the game date at the top.

I keep getting a database mismatch everytime I load the 36 scenario. I can play if I "ignore", but is there a fix?

e-stab · Apr 24, 2008

What mods do you use? This can't be caused by DAIM alone.

I have seen an error when starting the '36 scenario, too.
I updated my installation (Arma 1.1 without mods ) to 1.2, then installed CDCP including SIP, then I installed DAIM.

I just deleted Doomsday and reinstalled it to ensure there are no problems with and old install.

I tried starting the 1936 scenario in:
Arma 1.2 with CDCP and SIP: Works.
Arma 1.2 with CDCP and DAIM: Works.
Arma 1.2 with CDCP and SIP and DAIM: Error.

I never took a look at SIP, so I can't comment on that. I'd recommend to install DAIM as last of the mods, and not to use the "Customized Events".

MartinBG · Apr 24, 2008

Adding this line at the end of DAIM scenario files will fix the error, but since DAIM replaces nationalist_china.txt too some of the most interesting features of SIP wouldn't work. This is true also for CDCP workaround for CHI/Warlord leaders after release.

Code:

include = "scenarios\1936\u00.inc"

As I said, don't use DAIM's customized events option when mixing it with other event changing mods.
