The Grand Campaign Project

[Rafiki]

Appreciate it

Korrigan, will you do the necessary changes with the ships that came from the Pacific?

[jimwinsor]

And actually, my concern was more of a technical one. For example, a player saves his turn under 1.03, who sends it in to Korrigan, who runs it under 1.04. Now, I'm not sure what will happen if the 1.04 game tries to process a rail move along a now absent rail line, but a game crash seems to me a likely possibility (?). That's why I'm suggesting caution.

[Korrigan]

Nop, saves 1.03 and 1.04 are compatible.

Rafiki: If the Union is to send me a new ORD file, I prefer you make sure that the Pacific moves are in.

[Rafiki]

I.e. the ships coming from the Pacific get sent back there?

(My first thought was savegame editing, but ordering them back is of course a lot simpler)

[Korrigan]

Yes, all the ships who are currently in the Guld and that should bot be there because they should be still locked in San-Francisco must have orders this turn to move back to the Pacific.

[Rafiki]

Union is IN. Thanks to Jim for adding the final modified orders after the last few days discussions

Rumour has it that CSA is also IN, so now we await Korrigan and the turn resolution.

[Hinkel]

I started a new thread in the campaign forum, a [RP] (Roleplay) thread (Just a small test.. ) So every side can read it. If somebody wants to make a newspaper, he could also use the [RP] symbol, so each player can read.

[jimwinsor]

Union East and West orders are in, off to the Union C-in-C...

[geronimo]

sent .trn to CSA president..hope he is ok now

[Korrigan]

Deadline is sunday. If you haven't heard of your CiC by saturday, be prepared to give orders for him (for the last time, then I'll have to ask for a replacement)

[geronimo]

will we move to 1.05?

[Korrigan]

Yes, but I need to speak to Pocus first (we don't work in the same place).

I'll let you know.

Cheers,

Ludo

[geronimo]

any intel about our president? if not i will play for him tomorrow

[Rafiki]

Union president checking in. I hope to get the orders off by tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay.

[Korrigan]

I'm leaving in one hour... hurry up!

[Rafiki]

Dang, you're up and about early



Quick question: I emailed my almost-ready orders to myself so that I could wrap them up at work (before starting work, mind you), but just discovered that my laptop has AACW 1.03; where can I find a download for the 1.04 patch? All I've found hereabout are to 1.05.

[Rafiki]

Once again, Jim comes to the rescue. Thanks!

[Rafiki]

Union orders are IN

[Pocus]

I have the file, so send the order file when ready to me (support@ageod.com). I won't process the turn until you give me green light though.

[Rafiki]

Korrigan has "long since" processed the turn (with 1.04a?) and sent the new turn-file to us.

(I checked the e-mail timestamps; he had it back to us 13 minutes after I sent the Union file; efficient, to say the least, that Korrigan )

[Hinkel]

So what we have to do now with patch 1.05? We need any files, to use the new Division feature?

[Rafiki]

In the mail Korrigan sent with the union turn-file, he said he'd provide details on what we needed to do, but perhaps Pocus (or others) know too?

[geronimo]

did u resolve the turn under 1.05: i ask, due to the obsession of the AGE engine to affect all casualties to one division(without chief) as if its elements were not integrated to a division

[Pocus]

Simply add in the general.opt file

RemoveDivHQ = 0

[geronimo]

on le met n'importe où dans le fichier ou à une place précise?

[Pocus]

where you want in the file

[Korrigan]

The turn was processed under 1.04a
Next turn will be processed under 1.05a

What to do:

1) Implement the patch
2) Past and copy your whole AGEod's American Civil War directory.
3) Rename it AACW Grand campaign/old games or whatever makes sense to you
4) You have now two versions of AACW installed on your disk
5) In your grand campaign version, edit the general.opt file by adding RemoveDivHQ = 0

You can now give your orders for the Grand campaign

[geronimo]

hmm forgot to signal it earlier but i'll be away from home between 10 July and 31 July

[geronimo]

sent csa.trn to the president friday afternoon; just to inform

[jimwinsor]

Union orders are with the USA commander now as well.
