Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg v1.04 Patch Released!!!

[Madmatt]

Hot on the heels of the recent v1.03 patch, we now have a v1.04 patch ready to roll out. This patch fixes about a dozen new issues and adds hundereds of different enhancements, tweaks and user suggestion to the original release. This 32 meg patch is all inclusive and includes all the fixes from the earlier v1.01, v1.02 and v1.03 patches.

In addition, this patch includes two new user created utilities; a Map Generator and a Script Editor.

MapGen.exe is a utility to create tile maps for Strategic Command 2 from a bitmap. This tile map can then be imported into the Strategic Command 2 Editor and used as a starting point for a new scenario.

GAME ENGINE CHANGES

- Fixed a game freeze "Thinking..." error (BDW)

- Fixed an HQ purchase and renaming bug (Terif)

- Fixed a bug where transports did not automatically unload when

starting in port and without a plan (Edwin P.)

- decreased the size of multiplayer save files, this should increase the

transfer speed for E-mail and Network games (33-50% faster)

- network games now allow the non-active player to scroll around the

map, previously this was not possible

- Fixed a bug with how the FREE UNIT script was handled, now units can

only become Free if the alignment value of #TRANSFER_ID

matches their current alignment. For example if Belgian units are

set to become Free under the UK this will only happen if

Belgium is Allied when it surrenders and not if they were Axis (Honch)

EDITOR RELATED CHANGES

- Fixed a PARTISAN script error that listed Irish partisans incorrectly

for Norway (Winti)

- Fixed a convoy path error from Iraq to the UK

- Fixed a PLAN Garrison event error for the UK when attempting to

Garrison Trondheim after an opportunity invasion

- sped up script error processing when using the 'Update' button in the

AI and Event script viewer dialogs

- made some initial OOB adjustments to the 1944 campaign

Hi boodoggray, can you be a bit more specific as to what the issue is?

Thanks,

Hubert

Hubert,

I tried several sites, and it did finally download. Thanks.

Here is another question, a bit off topic, but if you can answer, Thanks:

In playing the scenarios, I am told Minor Allied Victory, etc. Is there a listing that tells how the victories are scored? I reviewed the Appendix A, but not really what I am looking for.

Thanks

[Hubert Cater]

At the moment it is listed in the VICTORY script and for the smaller scenarios you can see the #GOAL_POSITIONS are highlighted with a country flag.

Not the best I agree but I will look to improve this for the next version.
