SCW under RUS Engine

Thanks Philippe.
checked that, they are not sea regions.
what does means this in region file? "FixedSprite = 1555" im sure something is wrong in my regions files or in my map DB

[PhilThib]

This is a tag to tell whether the player is allowed to displace the sprite or not within the region...we did that to avoid weird aspects in very small regions, so this value is either 1 or 0 (on/off)... obviously this is wrong here...

I received your RGN mail, but without a map I cannot double-check correctly inside Exmap tool, so send me the bitmap too (the big map, not the cuts)

[Leibst]

There are a lot of regions with great numbers in FixedSprite and they are non small regions.
But this dont have nothing to do with my issue.
Its really strange for me that the unit begins the movement, but only to the first region in the movement ordered and after finish the turn it goes back to the begginning region, and even sometimes it goes to another adjacent region! i try to find an explanation thinking in how is the code implemented but i find no answers.

[Leibst]

Good news! issue fixed. I can go on creating an small scenary.

[Leibst]

Im working with the new models and also with their graphics.
Here are some of them:


miliciano, Regular, Requeté, Guardia de Asalto.

[Leibst]

NAC Faction created (some details still waiting to be done) and first combat tests are done. Columna Asensio capturing Almeria....(in 1918 )

I have some doubts designing the models. Is there any relation between the column 'Men per hit' and 'DmgDone'?
What means and what is TQ?

[PhilThib]

TQ = Troop Quality ... this is the ability and quality of the troops in fighting... 10 is the top Elite, 1 is rabble

[Leibst]

ok, thanks Philippe.

Well, designing the units its a hard work, but im beginning the test phase of the first combats in the proximity of Sevilla the initials days of the war.
You can see a first design of one Nationalist columna in Sevilla.

New question. Is it possible to make an event that creates an stack with its movement defined? I want to put a stack in Sevilla with its movement for this turn(second turn) defined. I want to define not only where the stack have to go but how many days will take to make the movement.

AFAIK there is no such command, closest one will be ;

Another possibility. Is it possible to modify the capacity of movement of a unit? I need that a stack instead of move 2 regions o 3 in a turn, move 4 or 5 but only in a determinate turn.
What i want to simulate is the called "Marcha sobre Madrid" the nationalist launch 3 columns from Sevilla to Madrid in August the 2nd 1936. And they moved really faster that first days, in the 14th of August they captured Badajoz, around 300 km beyond Sevilla in 12 days.
I would like that a stack beginning in Sevilla in turn two could reach and attack Badajoz in the same turn, this means to cross around 5 regions in one turn. But in a normal turn a stack would move two regions or even three at all.

Edit: I have an idea tha could work. In turn two these units that historically formed that 'columnas' will have movement type Rangers. And after that turn they have an evolution via event to their normal state. This need special models for that units that only plays one turn.

Reproduce exactly what happened in history is really hard and time consuming. It leads often to frustating situation for players

Anotherr way is an event that simply moves the entire force for you.
See the WIA DB file WIA_inc_CMN_BostonEvac75_ver106d.xls for an example.

...or start the scenario a few days after the beginning of the march (for example, with the columns already at Badajoz)...

Yes, ive thinking about that posibility too.... too many things in my head

[Leibst]

My first event!!!

Historical setup for Granada:

The attachment modbetascreen12.JPG is no longer available

I have to review the data of the Artillery.
I use units without their capacity at 100% thinking that with replacemens simulating reinforcements that give them to its top capacity, have still to test how works this.
I wish that the GC unit will receive around 200 men in the first turn.

[Leibst]

Still testing, making new units and defining the initial setup. Reading books for the correct setup. So progressing but slowly.
new units!: Bilbao armoured car for both sides.

[Leibst]

I've been working on a new map in order to correct some problems of movement and to give a better look.
movement looks better now, still have to detail things like rail movement.

In the csv file of cities what exactly means loyalty? in a game like this( a civil war) i want the regions half controled and half loyal to both sides.
ie Osuna will begin with Rep control of 51% but i want that with a small unit of Nationalist it will be NAT controled and want to see the NAT flag on it.

[PhilThib]

To give control of a region to a given faction, you need to enter a percentage above 50 inside the first military control (MC) column...the second column MC is used for the cities, allowing you to have for example besieged cities at start of scenario...

For loyalty, the first column give the loyalty % of the first faction listed (usually that controlling the 'land'). The second loyalty column gives the percentage of the second faction...so in your case, put 50 in both

[Leibst]

ok, thanks again for you help Philippe.
Events with graphics tested and working.


edit: also tested that replacements and reinforcements are working.

There is something i dont understand well.
If we put ie. in the excel file (or csv file) 51 MC to the REP faction in region Osuna and the same for the city if it was a city there. And after this we use the CSV splitter to generate the cities file. How would the CSV splitter assign any MC to the other Faction if CSV splitter doesnt know anything about that other faction?. maybe im doing something wrong.
In the cities file i can see something like this:
"SelectFaction = $REP

SelectRegion = $Osuna
BlockState = 0
SetControl = 51
Insurgent = 51
CityStyle = $csiNone
CivLevel = $Civilized
Transport = $NoNetwork"

and in the map i see 51 MC to the REP but 0 to the NAC until one unit get inside the region.
I have corrected the situation inserting this in the file and it works,

SelectFaction = $NAC

SelectRegion = $Osuna
BlockState = 0
SetControl = 49
Insurgent = 49
CityStyle = $csiNone
CivLevel = $Civilized
Transport = $NoNetwork

but if i have to do this for every region its a hard task but it gives the effect that i want.

[Leibst]

New screen after playing a few turns testing diferent aspects of the game, things are going well, im happy.
The idea of developing the entire war is growing, yes i know its a huge project but i enjoy doing it.

[Leibst]

Time for graphics.
Im working with this interface, opinions?
first one is erroneus upload, see the second.

[PhilThib]

Three things:

* why a Belgian flag
* On top of the units section, you need a space which is homogeneous and plain so you can write in it (there are game messages about selected stack)..if you are using bricks, you won't be able to read that text...
* How do you intend to show the stacks tabs?

IMHO if you wish to keep the bricks, you should also insert some kind of wooden plank, with plain homogeneous colours....a bit à la WW1 Gold

the belgian International Brigade? yeah, too dark the purple.
maybe is better now.
But i was asking not about the detail but the idea.

[Leibst]

Varela Takes command!

The first leader in the game, Gen Varela.


mmm, it seems i have eaten a star hehe.

Already it he will ascend...

New screen! Currently working on events and testing the way game works. This is hard work and progress slow.
