Hi dmg

Your understanding is correct. I first create a new mission and it CTD; I used an official mission replacing units and map and it CTD.

This mission is (from Statistic Classification) 350 weight. I will reduce the Nb of Unit and "asleep" some more (I am still too much C.M minded ).

By the way RAM size can't help?

Thanks for your post

[Mortar support not working]

Thanks for posting again

What trick me is that the Description of Mission Triggers doesn't show any Trigger called Mtrsupport etc... (I stuck too much to the manual )

It needs a refresh

Could we get a more up to date one if other triggers are missing ?

[Runcommand for Unit]

Hi Webwing

I wanted to move a tank Unit.

The trigger was a copy and past from the "Description Mission Trigger" (with new ID & Rect) and nothing has been reported as wrong by the Compiler Trigger.

I made an other attempt by making a past and copy from another mission, double checking my Rect was the correct one and this time IT WORKDED.

So whatever I did check my previous use of the "Desc. Mission Trigger" seems to be similar to the copy I use from the other mission, something doesn't work with this method. :confused:

I am using as much as possible copy of trigger from "official" mission to avoid "no working status".

Thanks for your post.

[Mortar support not working]

Using mission editor I use triggers to get Artillery support. If I use Art support(105mm or 150mm) it works fine, but if I change only the Art to Mortar Support in the 03-Item nothing occurs :confused:

[Adding Unit]

Thanks Webwing

[Towing in ToW]

Correct !

And it makes sense the item 6 is not working in the reserves slots.

Thanks

[Runcommand for Unit]

I use the following tigger :

RunCommand ( UNIT , 732 , STORM , RECT , “Rect-1” )

I use the UnitID 732 I found for the unit but nothing occurs. Only GROUP ObjectType is working ! :confused:

Is the UnitId the correct ObjectID ?

Tx

[Adding Unit]

In the player Army and in the Deployement level

I can add Group but I can't add more than one unit in each Group. Why is it set as this ?

[Towing in ToW]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I at least see the "06- Attach" sub-menu but whatever the car (Sdkfz 7) or the pak are in sleep status or not,no list is displayed when I select it. :confused:

On an other hand, passenger selection works.

[Towing in ToW]

In the Mission editor (Not during battle) how can I set up already towed gun?

I found this in some mission but didn't succeed in doing it by myself in my own created mission. :confused:

Hi

I am façing my first main issue with ToW.

After editing a mission I launch it to check if the troup' set up was correct, just after the set up phase is completed and the message of available Art is send the game close without warning and comes back to windows desktop display

My PC is as follow:

OS:Win XP Home Sp2

Mobo: AsRock 939A8X-M

CPU: AMD Ath64 2x 4400

MEM: 1Gb DDR MEM Single Channel

Vid : Sappphire Radeon X800GTO 256Mb

The Mission "weight" is:

Army 1: 2 SPG, 9 Arm Car, 3 Car, 3 ATG, 2HMG,

4 Inf Det, 2 Art Support

Army2: 8 Tank, 1 HMG, 12 Inf Det, 2 Art support

Only two triggers, one for the setup and one for Art enable.

Memory size limitation? Bug ?

Thanks for tech support

[Status Update, Game Patch and DVD's (May 3rd, 2007)]

very good indeed. Thanks for the post Mat.

Is also the "sound switch-off" issue on the way to be solved ? (Whatever close your are from a foe AFV, when you don't have any LOS on it, the sound of its engine is switch off).

Kettenhund,

What are you looking at? The encyclopedia? How many times do I have to say the internal numbers are correct within 1 mm of several authors. I had authors review the penetration numbers that went into the game. I do NOT know what values and angles were used in the encyclopedia.

The figures match Bird and Livingston, jentz, and others.

Rune

For German it looks like they took 30° angle penetration as the ones given for the Kwk.42 L70 75mm are close to those given in "Panther Tank" by T.L.Jentz (Schiffer Military history book) for the Psgr.39/42:

Range 100m 500m 1000m 1500m 2000m

Perf 138mm 124mm 111mm 99mm 89mm

Hi Petteer

I spend some hours on the web but didn't get something valuable. (few people asked how to deal a SFS file but none of them get an answer)

I will keep looking closer to IL2 web-sites.

Are you the same maniac making pink panther on CMBB ?

Hi Petteerr

Did you get something?

With Scout value at 90 and Mark one at 94 that helps

[Question for BF& C1]

Good possible news

[Question for BF& C1]

Won't it be possible (and easier to create for developpers) to have "Trench and/or Wire Units" available during the Disposition Mode of the mission ?

They will become unmovable (like HMG) and unrotable when the Disposition Mode is finished.

Trenches will be able to get passengers (1,4,8,12) depending on its size.

These "Trench and/or Wire Units" will be selectionnable during the Units menu (Reserves/Deployment).

For "Trench unit" camouflage and protection value will provided to passengers as "on-map-trenches" do.

[Have a look to this video]

http://files.games.1c.ru/ww2rts/files/movies/gun-hunters-eng-hi.avi

This video on the russian web-site showes how

efficient are the spotting and hitting capability for the player's tanks whatever his crew's skill seems not to be at the highest.

I don't find yet such a crew for the while

[Mission Editor]

Good confirmed news indeed

But will it be possible to create new map, or will only the statics be movable?

LOL

Don't aggree, AI means Artificial Idiots.

Did you check this damned Scout skill value ?

I made a mission to test an AT squad vs Tank, and no scout value means almost "dead meat" as it penalize the others skills.

[Are my soldiers stupid? Or are they just programmed that way?]

Originally posted by spec124:

Elmar, I selected it the moment I went to target the armored car in the first place.

Cincinatvs, his scout value is zero. What are you saying - this means my soldier is blind? The US sent blind soldiers into the field? It's a wonder we won.

Too much time was spent on the detail of the units and not enough on what the units actually do.

So, use the Mission editor to give scout value to your men and have a look to the manuel about Scout skill: pages 60,61 &65.
