USA AI Script Development
Hubert Cater replied to Edwin P.'s topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Hey Edwin, Currently I'm working on the first patch but eventually (and hopefully relatively soon) going to put together a formal documentation on AI scripting and the whole AI process in general. This should hopefully help you with your script work and answer most of these questions as it can become, as you've seen, quite involved. -
Stuck Unit ?
Hubert Cater replied to FuChu's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
This simply depends on terrain and the minimum AP required to move to the next terrain. For example if you are in the mountains with limited supply and your only next available tile is a mountain tile you will need 2 AP in order to move. -
Slight Bug?
Hubert Cater replied to ALthered's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Can you send me the last saved turn, where this exact problem occurs, so I could take a look, thanks! -
Game Crash
Hubert Cater replied to Moonslayer's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Strange error, can you send me the contents of the ERROR directory (compressed) and describe the error in an email (just so I can keep track of various errors being sent my way). This ERROR folder can be found in your installation directory. -
Enemy Contact
Hubert Cater replied to J P Wagner's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
JP, the defender does gain an initiative in this case but if the eventual combat odds still favour the surprised unit then they are given the final option to attack... this is a slight change from SC1 -
Couple of things to remember (in case they were not noticed in this game): 1) In the convoy screens you can adjust how much money is being sent to each major, i.e. you can increase USA convoy MPPs to the UK and the UK can also increase convoy MPPs to USSR 2) Destroyed units (this didn't make the manual but rather the errata file) can be rebuilt at 60% their original cost and half their original production time. These will appear with an '*' next to their name in the name list in the Purchase Unit dialog. This can be especially helpful in the USSR.

Updated DirectX and Demo Still crashing
Hubert Cater replied to Cheese Panzer's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
It could very well be the video card as I believe it is an on-board card correct? I remember a friend having the same card not (on a stock eMachine like system) and not being able to run a particular game as well. We updated his card with one of the newer ATI like cards and it ran fine after that. -
SC2.exe - Application Error
Hubert Cater replied to U8led's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
Ok, well glad to hear at least that you were able to get it running -
Unable to declare war in SC2
Hubert Cater replied to Bill101's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
That is odd and I've never seen that before... I can take a quick look and see what might be causing that issue. -
SC2.exe - Application Error
Hubert Cater replied to U8led's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
Sorry to hear about the continued trouble but unfortunately something still sounds corrupt. Do you have the possibility to try this on a second computer just to make confirm that at least the downloaded file is working correctly? -
New Demo Released
Hubert Cater replied to Hubert Cater's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Ok great and yes this was an odd error as it seems that some video cards just don't support, for whatever reason, the DirectX mirroring command (as they should) so I just decided to skip it entirely by using a second set of mirrored units in the bitmaps folder. -
Actually can both of you send me the files (compressed) that can be found in your ERROR folder in the SC2 installation directory. This will help me track down the errors. Thanks, Hubert

Updated DirectX and Demo Still crashing
Hubert Cater replied to Cheese Panzer's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
Cheese Panzer, Glad to hear you finally got the game running. The few graphical glitches might be a resolvable problem as well. Can you try running the game without 3-D unit icons? This option can be selected in the OPTIONS dialog in the upper left hand corner of selectable options. If this seems to fix the problem then the good news is that there is a patch in the works that will have 3-D units work properly for all systems. In fact this is already a part of the new demo and if you try the latest demo this can be confirmation that it will work on your system. Hope this helps, Hubert -
This happens on rare occasions when the video memory is not properly released by the system... can you try a reboot to see if this resolves the issue. Also, can you try the game with the non 3-D unit icons? This can be selected in the OPTIONS dialog in the top left corner of selectable options. IF this resolves the issue for you there is a fix for this in the works and in fact the new demo has this fix in place. You could download the new demo and confirm that the new fix indeed works on your system for now.
