My minister files got edited. There was a text file error too. All fixed now.

The mod's most important event ;)

3) Swedish recon. plane has 0 range

That's because it's a prototype - the sort of machine that Orville and Wilbur managed to get into the air...

4) As above, france has been defeated just puts the central powers at peace with the entente, then, about a year later, a peace fires for no reason... hmmmm...

I might retort that in reality, Germany's defeat event triggered on November 11th 1918, only for the Treaty of Versailles event to trigger in late June the next year 'for no reason'. I know there are a few problems with defeat and peace events, but this aint one of 'em. :)

5) Perhaps not a bug, but the tech water ballast doesn´t lead to anything, it should perhaps lead to dirigable airship or dirigable airship tests.

There are a few examples of techs that do nothing at all - the tree is up for review, so I'm sure that little problem won't go unnoticed.

6) October revolution never ocurred. What is the trigger?

Code:
trigger = { 
        atwar = yes 
        dissent = 20 
        event = 21020   #Lenin
        event = 48100   #February Revolution
        NOT = { 
            control = { province = 602 data = RUS }  #Berlin
        }
 
Whoah! somebody's been editing the events... :eek:

German event 21020 (the Sealed Train) has had the command
type = sleepevent which = 48105
added to its option b, meaning that if Germany chooses not to allow Lenin to go to Russia in March 1917, then the Bolshevik Revolution and the whole Russian Civil War event chain will never happen.

That's certainly not how I wrote it and it seems to put too much power into Germany's hands. Historically, even if Lenin didn't manage to find some other way to reach Russia, I think that some form of revolutionary outbreak was pretty much inevitable by this stage. It might have been led by the Social Revolutionaries and have been anarchist rather than doctrinaire Marxist in orientation, but it would still have resulted in the red flag flying over Soviet Russia. For that matter, the actual October coup was mostly organised by Trotsky, not Lenin, and Trotsky was already active in Petrograd.

My original intention was for Germany choosing option_a to trigger the Lenin's April Theses event, which increases Russian dissent. This in turn makes the October Revolution more likely, since that event has a dissent trigger. However, I wasn't intending to give Germany a veto over the whole affair...

Well it wasn't me, that's for sure......events don't change themselves, though. Check through the events that you wrote Stephen, and see if anything has changed where it shouldn't...

What did the original trigger look like? If you still have it then, perhaps you could post it?

For now I'll just change the one we have now to this:
Code:
trigger = { 
        atwar = yes 
        dissent = 20 
        #event = 21020 [who put this here? D.S.]
        event = 48100 
        NOT = { 
            control = { province = 602 data = RUS } 
        }
 
Guys...do we have Code Gremlins? Putting in code that we did not...
 
It's the action commands for the German event that need changing, not just the Russian event

German event 21020 in version 1.02b:

Code:
    action_b = { 
        name = "ACTIONNAME21020B" 
        command = { type = sleepevent which = 48102 } 
        command = { type = sleepevent which = 48105 } 
        command = { type = alignment which = communist value = -5 } 
    }


German event 21020 in version 1.00b, as written by me:

Code:
    action_b = { 
        name = "Deny permission" 
        command = { type = alignment which = communist value = -5 } 
    }

I can understand the sleepevent for 48102 being added, since that event should only ever trigger if action a of this event is chosen. I think that whoever did it was just overambitious and added sleepevent 48105 as well, which is incorrect.

The only people who have had copies of the event files from 1.00b to 1.02b with the intention that they were to be used in release versions have been Johan, Stephen and myself. Stephen wrote the events, I haven't even touched them - unless I subconsciously altered them in a bout of sleepwalking. That leaves Johan...who isn't here to comment.

I think it would be for the best that when events need to be edited, the original author should be asked first.

Oh, so they must be at war? that explains it.

The "france is defeated" event shouldn´t put the alliance at peace with russia, according to the schlieffen plan, germany should first destroy France, then turn to russia, this was the only reason why they DOW:ed fFrance.

As for that sugar, what is it?
A kind of joke?
Or is it a real event?

Oh you're referring to that. Bug already fixed. :)

Unless you've been playing TGW on my computer then the bug shan't be fixed on your version. When I said the bug was sorted, I was saying that the problem had been identified and remedied, and will not show again on the next version. :)

OK, to put you out of your misery, press F12 to get up the console during a game and type event 2001. That will let you read the event description.

And yes, it really happened.

New bug: Game throws me out onto my desktop on april 1 1916 (Perhaps it just want to joke :D)

Could you have a look into the history file and see what happened before the crash?
 
The game as USA (1st of april) is lost, but I do have 1st of august (UK), the event is romania had oil to germany and germany had oil from romania.
 
Peace and borders reset with Russian defeat... Is this meant to happen?

I wasn't sure if this was a bug, or whether it was meant to happen this way, so I created it here thinking it could be moved later...

With the mighty alliance of Germany and Austro-Hungary pushing deep into Russia, Russia went through some serious economic turmoil untill both Leningrad and Moscow fell to Germany...

With the fall of two of Russia's most prominent cities to Germany, they had no choice but to declare defeat (you are given no prompts as to what you want to do either, it just happens)...

Either way, I would accepted peace with Russia and install a more pliable government for the offensive against France had stalled on the very edge of Paris... France was fighting for every inch and simply would not give in...

Thing is, with Russia's defeat, the war ended and all borders were returned to pre-war lines... Inlcuding all the territory just taken in order to defeat Russia... As well as the lands taken in France & throughout Africa...

What's the go here? Is this meant to happen?
