Open Beta for 1.05

I've managed to get the peace_with_all command to work, but there's a problem...

Before, I would use commands like the one directly below to end a war for a particular nation. For example... the Axis defeats the USSR but is still at war with the Western Allies (Britain, etc.). Romania and Hungary had nothing to do with this, so I want them to fight each other. Events would fire for both Hungary and Romania with the following commands:

Code:

		command = { type = leave_alliance }
		command = { type = peace which = ENG value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = USA value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = CAN value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = MEX value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = VEN value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = PAN value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = LIB value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = PHI value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = JAP value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = SOV value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = HOL value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = BRA value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = ECU value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = PRU value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = HON value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = COL value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = TUR value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = SAF value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = OMN value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = YEM value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = SPA value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = SPR value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = POR value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = SCH value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = SWE value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = PER value = 1 }

		command = { type = peace which = CHI value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = CHC value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = CSX value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = CGX value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = CXB value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = SIK value = 1 }
		command = { type = peace which = CYN value = 1 }

So long as I listed every freaking nation Romania/Hungary could be at war with, this worked okay, if cumbersome and irritating. Romania/Hungary would leave the Axis and be at peace, while Germany and friends would continue to fight the Western Allies.

Now, however, with the peace_with_all command, I'd hoped to eliminate all the crazy commands to make peace between, say, Hungary and Guangxi Clique, if, for some reason, they happened to be at war. I tried the peace_with_all command...

Code:

		command = { type = leave_alliance }
		command = { type = peace_with_all which = ROM }

...and Romania went to peace with everyone she was fighting. Excellent! But...

SO DID THE ENTIRE AXIS! :wacko:

Even though Romania LEFT the Axis, the rest of the Axis (Germany, Italy, etc.) were now at peace with all of their former enemies! NOOOO!!! My dream command is a fraud!

Okay, okay. Calm down. Maybe if I add value = 1 (separate peace) to the command...

Code:

		command = { type = leave_alliance }
		command = { type = peace_with_all which = ROM value = 1 }

No difference! Ugggh!

Devs? Any word on a fix for this? It was all for naught if this causes more problems than it fixes...

game crash

The game crashes and get this message
AppName: aodgame.exe Appver: 1.0.0.1 madname: aodgame.exe Modver: 1.0.0.1 offset:0001e8fc

played as Japan and it looks like I cant play this game because the game crash within 25 to 40min. It also seems that I always will have it like this when I starts up a war.

.....
I had only have few game crashes in the v1.4 I hope it cant be mended.
This is without the debugger version.

There are also plenty of new tech teams that we should put in the new patch.

Thanks, Lennartos, for the quick response and positive confirmation!

I've had zero problems with this patch and am very pleased with it!

Next question: Will value = 1 and value = 0 also be implemented? I can see how it would be beneficial for separate and whole peaces to be possible with this command... for example:

Soviet Union peace_with_all and value = 0 would put the Soviets AND their allies (Mongolia, Tannu Tuva) at peace with all of their enemies.

Italy peace_with_all and value = 1 would put ONLY the Italians and NOT their allies (Germany, Hungary) at peace.

I unfortunately find this patch unusable. I cannot save games any more unless I run as administrator. But then I notice something else--when I try to reload my saved games it crashes. If I try Germany 1936 and do a save everything works fine. But then if I try USA 1944 and save I cannot reload my save. It seems as though the new executable has a limit on how much it can read and if that limit is exceeded--CTD.

Playing CAN in GC36

I did not build any convoy escort.
When war start, convoy escort display on trade screen becomes negative (-6).
Is it wad to say "we need 6 escorts">?

And now, its much more, guess its a bug.
I have a saved game if wanted.

I can do you better then that. Canada, 36GC. Now is early 1940. I just canceled a bunch of AI trades and it says I have "over" -2,000,000,000 escorts.

I think this is more an issue with using a x64 system, but I've noticed an oddity with the German (and possibly other) flag. There's a small patch that should be black/grey that is translucant instead. Ive tried to find a loacation that makes it as clear as possible, but if you can't see it I'll upload another, clearer image:

Upgraded to the new version without de-bugger, but still have a tons of problems with this patch.

Unknown string when I want to attack Oslo.

I have similar problems to that. As Canada, any time I try to attack Italian forces in North Africa I get that type of unknown string with the arrival date being in the years above 20,000. If I select ok to attack the arrival date is still all wrong and long and the troops never move.

same here - can't save games any longer...not funny!
details see topic "Location of Saves " I mentioned my problems there before I saw, I am not the only one

problem solved - when I start the program with "administrator" saving games works.
but anyway: SOMETHING must have changed, I didn't encounter this issue before 1.05B3

for the protocol:
I use Vista 64, AoD got uninstalled, new download from Gamersgate, installed, patched to 1.04, then 105B3 files copied into gamefolder.
Checksum is ok, i've heard

This also happened to me at some time in my game 'after I used acceptall' (and turned it of just after)... Had to reload the game and all was fine again...

I cannot recreate this date problem.
Please try to figure out what needs to happen before this appears - give me a guide on how to recreate.

yes also 4 times - no CTD here
germany declares war at 2. may

I can see a message box popping up for about a millisecond before the screen goes black. No time to read what is says. I suspected it was the declaration of war by Germany, but you confirm it. I can't get past it. This is strange. I will try again with this savegame, maybe playing another nation than the Netherlands.

Anybody else tried this savegame playing the Netherlands and experiencing a CTD???

what about this:
# ACTIVATE MISSILE CAPABILITY OF SUBMARINES
command = { type = missile_carrier which = [submarine] }

I tested it as the Netherlands but I got no CTD so far. During the Dutch surrender event I got a unknown string wanted.

@ Pioniere

Thanks for trying my savegame. No CTD for you. Weird. I am at work right now, so no time to fiddle around for me. Tomorrow I will try to load up as another nation and see what happens.

Did I miss the new brigade MOT (trucks) in the 1.04 or is it new in 1.05?

Prince of Lies · Aug 24, 2010

also had several CTDs - mostly related to selecting a province or units in areas close to combat or borders ...

same error message as with:

oh, is it normal that Carrier Air Groups are reduced to tech level 1 when attached to a level 1 carrier? ... Annoying if you just upgraded them -> attach them to a carrier and then have to do it all over. Oh yes, in the upgraded form they are not displayed as the air-symbol while in the deployment pool

report from GC'36 with Germany:

* have a series of 8 escort fighters. and tried ART brigades just to check: no possibility to increase building speed for brigades! that seems a bit odd to me

* Jan, 1938: JAP has no oil and no rares, IC halved. My autotrade works perfectly, building the ressource stockpiles I will need for war. But when autotrade works for me - why is it too stupid for JAP?

* Jan, 1938: Nat.Spain is reduced to just 3 provinces and the oversea territories. ok so, but the front hasn't changed since Jan, 1937! Rep.Spain hast more than double of the units of Nat.Spain (Inf: 20 to 5, LAMR 1 to 1, ARM 1 to 1, Militia 7 to 7, MTN 0 to 1) Rep.Spain is completly low on energy and has IC halved, while Nat.Spain has big stockpiles of everything. Rep.Spain has about 1600 supply & lots of oil - so: Why don't they attack??? :wacko:

for me it seems AI freezes, when it runs out of ressources for production. can anyone confirm?
