Ok friends i have a new update of the map.

I will need some people that will test the map and report me about the things that need fixing.

By tommorow i will have finished all the Event scripts and the AI script for the allies. So the testing will take place with Axis only.

You can send me your email so i can send you the map. Since the map is huge you will need a powerfull machine to have the computer side calculate things fast.

I await your reply.

Mr.Doser your mail is guesswhotwice@hotmail.com is you mail? i send it but i got it returned.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Thank you Retributer i will post as soon as i will have things ready.

Mr. Dozer you want just the map or everything ?(no scripts yet).

Does anyone know how to put army unit on the sea as amphibious transportations. Japan in 1937 had 4 main targets that i will also put in the AI. the first 3 targets were in China while the 4th was in France Indochina. In Indochina it was easier cause it was a land operation. The same with the 1st target that was Beijing. Japan had the lands of Manjuria and Korea and had a good army there to attack from land. Also had the Mongolian army that was at the boarders of Mongolia and USSR. But Hong Kong , shangai and Tianjin were attacked with amphibious attacks.

And now some updates:

Australia, New Zealand, Dutch Indonasia armies are ready. Now i will work with the USA forces.

And more important the US Navy.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

New about the project.

All the tiles with terran, cities, ports, oils, mines , rivers,lakes and weather are ready.

All units have been inserted with the exeption of the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Dutch Indochina.

Convoys are set. Naval Loops are set. Flags are set.

So the map with everything is ready. All that is left now are the scripts. I will start first with the Events and then with the AI.

Once i will finish the Events i may post the map in order to play it Player vs Player and report me about instabilitites or problems.

Lets hope that everything will turn out ok.

Problems:

Still the connection of east and west US is a problem. the resources issue is fixed but you can't send units from one coast to the other.

my idea with the lake transportation looked very bad so i dismished it. There is another idea by a friend to connect east and west with a path going from the south pole and up. I am looking for other ways.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Thank you.

Now the new update is as follows

Africa is cut into 8 pieces.

Marocco,Egypt,Italian Central North Africa and Italian Ethiopia, France North Africa, South Africa, Western African Coolition, Central African Coolition and South African Coolition.

All 3 African Coolitions will have the major capitals of each country as cities and everytime one city is captured then the capital will move around until there will be no more cities. This will represent the fact that in each coolition there are a lot of countries. Madagascar belongs to the South african Coolition.

Maybe i will put Marocco out in order to have one extra country.

At this point i have the following countries.

UK,France,USA,USSR,Germany,Japan,India,South African Coolition,Italy,Baltic States,Benelux,Bulgaria,Canada,China,Denmark,Egypt,Central African Coolition,Finland,Greece,Hungary

#ICELAND= Empty

Iran,Iraq,Ireland,Burma,Western Africa Coolition,Mongolia,Australia,Morocco,Netherlands,

Norway,Poland,Portugal,Indo-France,Romania,Saudi Arabia,Spain,Sweden,Switzerland,South Africa,Brazil,Turkey,Vichy France,Yugoslavia.

I was thinking also in order to make Switzerland nutral land and no one to be able to attack it. and use another country as well.

I managed to have the western part of USA with full production point by making S.F. as a production center. Still trying to figure a way to send troops from East to West.I have an Idea. A little lame but here it is.

The Panama takes 3 turns to send ships. I could make a small lake in the west part of the US and send tranports from one place to the other with only 1 turn. This way only army units can travel, immitating the railroad from east to west.

Comments please.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

The map is almost done. Africa is the only place that i need to input resources terrain and countries.

From the scripts i have removed the Siberian army the Pacific fleet, all the Egypt reinforcements from South Africa, Australia,India and New Zewland.

The Panama arrows are ready.

Japan,China, USSR, Mongolia, Burma, India, Italian-Ethiopian, South Arabia, Iran,Iraq armies have been placed.

Soon i will put France Indochina armies, Netherlands Phillipines armies, australian armies, New Zewland armies.

Some Convoy scripts have been changed.

Now i will work on the USA east-west connection.

Once i will finish the planning i will start with the AI scripts.I have deactivated France, England and Poland. While Germany is active in 1937, do not have the forces to make the Poland attack. One turn before 3/9/1939 Germany will take the needed units to start the Polish attack. By attacking Poland France and England declares war on Germany.

Here is a photo of Japans full might of naval power by 1937.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Another update with the island of Japan. This is not the final outlook for the Island but you can see the units. It was simply a test.

Dear n0kn0k i know we can't put all the countries.

The idea is to unite certain countries according to their protectorate country.We will see the forum is filled with people of history we wil lfind a way.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Dear Friends,

This is a new update of the map and it is 1.4 version.

Italy is now Japan. I have changed various countries and thanks to the work of F@F i have started putting inside the new flags,units.

In order for the map to look better for now i have activated some countries. China with the USA, India,australia with UK, Korea and Tailand with Japan, France Indochina with France , Indonasia with Netherlands and Ethiopia and Somalia with Italy that belongs to Germany.

I hope that this mod is starting to look better and better. I would like to thank everyone that helped me so far and to encourage them to help more.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

I think i got it. In the version 1.4 inside the map data folder there are folders and files and localization as well. The only thing i must do is to set the Campaign config file into the value 1 ?

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Dear Friends,

I have seen that in order to chnage the name you must play with the localization on the games root folder.

There you have the variable and the name. I was informed to change Italy with Japan. Ok with this and i know how to also change the proper graphics in order to make Italy into Japan. But this , all this will have to create certain files that have to do with all the game. Is there a way in order change these things without changing the game as a total?

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Is there a way to import my map version 1.2 to the 1.4 update. the map will not load. is there a away?

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Another Update of the map. I have finally ended the beaches and they look nice. Some changes have been made in Australia and Africa. Next update the countries that will take part and the lakes and rivers of the world. Also some forests and mountains.

40 countries are ok lets see how will i change the names. why don't the editor have a country rename button?

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Dear Scook about the map yes i have used the standart 1939 scenario. I have changed the map size to Max and then i started building on it.

For the above reason some parts can't be shown. Yes i wanted to invade the US as the German forces but i am content with rulling the rest of the world.I hope the map will look better in a little while.Look for a new maop in an hour or two.

FerrisB very good thoughts. I will send you the map tommorow. The reason is simple. I do not usualy work on weekends so if you will fix some things and resend me the map on monday so i can continue.

I have a big problem. Fixing the world is ok but making the beaches is very hard. The tiles are hard to search and put in and it feels like tetris. After that i will start the scripts.

Question what is the best way to change the names of the Countries?

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

Ok i hear you. This is an update of the previous map. Most of the Islands are in and Russia has her land. The US is in both in the east and the west including Pearl Harbor. australia look a little funny but New Zealand is ok.

Brazil is in. any other lands i should put in?

comments please.

Christos

[World MAP tryout]

My friends i have seen a long wait for a world map.

I am trying to build one. Very new here and i have never tried something like this. This is a screenshot of the minimap on the editor.

I have taken the standart map fro mthe game and i maximized the map. This is the mainland. No islands no nothing. I would like to hear your opinion before i continue. Beware the colors may play tricks in your mind about the size of the lands expecially africa.

Please reply if you can and want.

Christos
