2 questions for Sid.......Have not checked yet but I included correct pics
for one of those Japanese trainers, (PINE IIRC), did you use them

quote:

and every form of WITP failed to include the huge drydock located at Victoria...
instead placing it at Vancouver..I provided the correct info in my notes in this thread...Did you put it in RHS?

while some folks may have issue with the inclusion of planes which only have
small numbers IRL, I feel it is more a statement on how those units CAN be included
in a game of this huge scale!

First, for players who do not wish to manage many minor plane types, RHS provides
"Simplified RHS" (even numbered scenarios). Some of these (122 and the future 126)
are simplified to help the AI in addition to reduce player time to make a move.

Second, types are not added unless they had at least a moment where they were, or
might have been, operationally useful. Thus, we follow stock in that Allied trainers
are NOT included UNLESS they have a non-training role. Similarly to stock, there
are no training units at all in simplified scenarios. Only "Full RHS" scenarios
(with odd numbers) have all types.

Third, I find it surprising how much use there is for 'unimportant' types. Particularly
if you are pressed, there is often something you can do with all the planes in the operational
area.

FYI aircraft are the very heart of RHS. It began as a project of a WITP era mod called CHS.
A future Matrix programmer recruited me for research and data entry. A former resident
computer engineer at (not for) Boeing (i.e. a contractor with a desk AT Boeing), I can
calculate unknown data from what is known. When we got done, Andrew liked the work and
'accepted it' - but got into political trouble and had to withdraw that acceptance. So
he said "this should be out there - put it in its own mod" - which we did. The name RHS
was suggested by a programmer, a variation on RSH (Real Sub Hunter). We have continually
added aircraft until now I think everything significant is included. But not every type
is present.

This morning I added the newest patch and have encountered a new problem.
When I move the mouse across the map, it now repeatedly "drags" a Brit flag and an unknown island across the screen, dropping other repeat Brit flags and islands as it goes.

No effect on the speed of the mouse, but it may also be causing some of the other map art panels to be out of place.
Any idea how this was caused?
I have suffered no electrical outages nor currency fluctuations.

You know Bob, I had this issue once and I think it was either a Map panel or pxhexe problem. Don't remember how it got resolved, Sorry. Post in the Tech forum....GP

I love how Sid almost gets it right.

ALL Independent companies should be shown as AIF.
1st Australian Para Bn should be shown as AIF.
8th Independent Company should be 2/8th Independent Coy.
2/4 Independent Coy was formed at Forster nr Melbourne in December 1941, transferred to Darwin/NT in March 1942 and in August 1942 was sent to Timor to relieve 2/2 Indep Coy.

Sid...With the original WITP-RHS and this version, WITP/AE-RHS II, you were continually making improvements and releasing patches.

Are any of your patches inclusive updates of the original RHS file which created the RHS folder in our programs?

The most recent patches sent to me "borked" the maps and gave me an error message to that effect.

I wish to eliminate the RHS folder and start from scratch..Which download is the most inclusive download for that purpose?

About RHS: I have been reading the threads for RHS1 & 2 and find myself a bit overwhelmed. I have a couple of simple questions as to what RHS is all about.
First, is it suitable for solitaire play?

REPLY: Scenario 106 (Level I) and 126 (Level II) is called RHSAIO (AI Oriented) and it is INTENDED for AI
control of Japan. NO scenario is intended for AI as Allies - there is no script and I don't (at least not yet)
write scripts - and the original script only does Japan well. This is the scenario used for validation testing.

Scenario 106 (Level I) and 126 (Level II) is called RHSDFS (DownFall Scenario) and it is INTENDED for AI control
of Japan (because few human players will want to take on the Allies in 1945). It IS included in the installer -
but it is NOT completed. I keep updating records for 1945, but there are thousands (a hundred thousand?) to go!


Second, Is it primarily an aircraft data and map graphics update mod?

REPLY: Back in WITP days RHS began as an aircraft data mod for CHS. When that didn't work out, Andrew Brown
suggested creating a mod to let people use these planes. Joe Wilkerson (my 'boss' in the volunteer CHS project)
suggested the name RHS, a modification of RSH (Real Sub Hunter). To this day aircraft remain the heart of RHS,
with vastly more types than otherwise are in AE. Apart from numbers, the data quality shows off the remarkably
good AE engine - with astonishingly realistic outcomes. But no, RHS is vastly developed since then. It has
introduced countless concepts, and added whole capabilities in many areas. Note that RHS 'blimps' are real airplanes,
not stock blimps. RHS atom bombs are also different, come with no political consequences, in realistic numbers,
in two flavors (Uranium Bombs and Implosion Bombs - 1 of the former and 2 of the latter per month from August 1945 -
with one Uranium bomb in July) AND they do far more damage than the stock bombs do. As well, there is a small chance
Japan might get a Uranium bomb later - one every 2-4 months. There is extensive development of radar and radar
countermeasures (I was a pioneer in that field, more or less becoming one of the first EWs - although they would not
let ETs 'cross over' - we actually did the job - against missile and air attacks in Tonkin Gulf). We have extensively
developed Russia, China, Australia, New Zealand, Philippine Forces and others. Our map has researched locations
and uses period names - not present names not used in the WWII era. It took a long time, but we developed the
economic model to the point it can support 1944 levels of forces WITHOUT giving players all that supply in 1941.
There is extensive documentation explaining things in the RHS Documentation folder if you want more.

Third, the latest version appears to be RHS2. Is RHS1 also required?

REPLY: RHS Level I uses stock maps. RHS Level II uses an expanded form of the extended map system created by
Andrew Brown. They are NOT compatible and you CAN NOT use both in the same folder. Different map files,
different location, ship and group files as well. Never mix em. You CAN mix stock map system games and mods
with RHS Level I scenarios and maps. RHS Level II needs to be by itself. There will eventually be a RHS
Level III - adding Madagascar in the now blank SW corner. [The Logo is already in the NE corner in Level II]

Fourth, does it write over the unmodded game or can both modded and unmodded AE be played at the same time?

REPLY: Level I MAY share a folder with stock or any mod using stock maps. You MAY use ANY stock like map art.
I recommend using RHS map panels without hexsides, and turn on hexside details - but it will work if you do not.
You MUST use RHS pwhexe.dat files, but they WILL work with other mods (not vice versa - too much new data needed).
Level II MAY NOT share a folder with other mods - its map system (originally borrowed from Andrew's extended map
system) is NOT compatible, and its pwhexe.dat, pwzlink.dat and pwzone.dat files are NOT compatible with others.
[Level 1 uses STOck pwzone.dat files and a corrected stock pwzlink.dat file with correct ranges between off map
ports which should always be used for standard map system games. A similar corrected form of Andrew's extended
map pwzlink.dat file is available for NON RHS games - as a courtesy. I used the nautical pub Distance Between
Ports to fix the many errors in those file distances.]

Fifth, maybe some clarification on the difference between RHS1 and RHS2?

quote:

ORIGINAL: Yaab

RHS I or RHS 1: stock map
RHS II or RHS 2: extended map.

Thus, it is best two have two separate installs of RHS.

Solitaire would be player A vs player A. I guess you mean if RHS can be played human vs AI. RHS scen 102 can be played against Japanese AI.

RHS adds LOTS of new bases,LCUs, air groups and ships. It changes TOEs adding new devices. It adds units from new nations (French, Portugues etc).

It adds new rails, roads and trails. It adds navigable rivers. RHS can use new maps created by Chemkid, though you can still use the stock maps.

In theory, RHS Level I can be used along stock game in one folder.I never practice that and have separate installs of WITP:AE i.e WITP:AE stock; DaBigBabes C; RHS Level 1. Thus all saves slots in a given installation are only used by one mod and one campaign.

RHS I and RHS II: the use different maps (stock and extended), but as far as I undertstand, they are the same thing.

Your mod has inherited some problems from stock relating to the maneuver and fuel/endurance values of a few Dutch ships, same as many other mods. Affects the classes Small Gvt Mar PB/AVP/AG, Med Gvt Mar PB/AVP/AG, A class, Merbaboe, Alor, Merapi, Djember, Ardjoeno and Arend.
There is also some armament issues with the Gouvermentsmarine ships and the Admiralen destroyers.

I only have RHS level II so I haven't actually checked RHS I, but presumably the same problem is found there as well. I don't see any value in reposting more or less the exact same thing in several places so see the "AE Naval and OOB Issues" thread in the main WitP:AE forum for details.

Isn't it working as designed? I am on Win XP and have to first delete the previous RHS version and then install the new one. I use Revo Uninstaller for deleting the previous version.
