quote: ORIGINAL: steamboateng This may be a dumb question, but how do I open the Beta dl files so that I only install changed files to the Beta2 folder. The dl is an exe. file after extracting, and wants to install all. It happens auto-magically. Trust the installer that Michael made. It will only install the Beta in a separate folder, and you will only access the Beta via the shortcut that it makes. I do recommend that you then create your own shortcut for the Beta with your own preferences of switches. Then just delete the shortcut for the Beta that the installer creates (or ignore it). Every new Beta will create a new shortcut, but the one you create for yourself will still work to access any newer Beta (file names are the same).

Since there are only a few files in the Beta2 directory, there is no time saving for you anyway. I recommend you let the installer do its thing...

q6: turn 89: RAF 75 Sqd shows on mouse over (townsville) but fails to show up on the airfield.

steamboateng -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/3/2011 9:45:41 PM)
Well, I did install all with the executable, and the shortcut reflected the change in its naming, i.e. q6. However, I had to go back and retype my startup preferences. Next question: when I open a saved game I get a note stating its saved under a different Beta. Can I go ahaed and continue the game, regardless; the new Beta additions applying to the saved game?

PaxMondo -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/3/2011 9:52:18 PM)
yes. it is just an exe change, no db change. everyting has gone well fo rme the last 20 or so updates. [;)]

steamboateng -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/3/2011 10:13:05 PM)
Thanks Pax. I am comforted by your reassurances.

BTW, make a copy of your shortcut and rename it to something else so the next Beta update will not bother it. That way you won't have to retype your switches.

Hello, First, Thanks for all the work on the Beta. I've had few issues going through all the updates. I do have an issue with the 1108q6 version (which I understand to be the most recent). When I look at industry/ troops/ resources pool in the info screen and try to sort by name the screen gets very strange, with missing information and is not navigable. I seem to be able to sort by date and other parameters, but not by name. Am I the only one to notice this? I've had a few other strange hiccups that only I noticed so I may be exceptionally unlucky. I've attached my latest save. You should go to the information screen—industry/troop/resources pool--and sort by name. In either event, the interface is light-years superior to the stock game, I can't thank you guys enough. EDIT* I loaded the game on a diff computer and it works fine. must be a resolution issue. Thanks for looking at this

JB1213, The sort you mention works fine, at least for me. It may be the computer you're using. Do you have dual core/quad core? There are a number of threads, or portions thereof, where folks with these machines report having problems like yours with odd graphics until they adjust their switches. If it's not that, one of the more computer savvy people on here may be able to come up with other suggestions.

jb123 -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/4/2011 1:42:42 AM)
thanks for the response. I've never had issues until I uploaded the most recent patch, so any suggestions on switches or adjustments would be appreciated.

I'm having a problem with AI dive bombers making level bombing runs against ships rather than dive bombing. Against well-defended high-value targets they really need to be dive bombing, I would think. This is actually a problem I've noticed for a long time. When the dive bombing rules were changed the AI altitude setting don't appear to have been updated to reflect the new rules. In the latest official patch dive bombers set to 16000-20000 glide bomb, so the problem wasn't as noticable, but in the beta they level bomb from those altitudes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Pearl Harbor at 193,84 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 19,000 feet.

Ol_Dog -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/4/2011 4:09:20 PM)
Move the download zip file to the Beta2 folder. Extract in that folder (or to its own folder). If you extract to its own folder, copy and paste to the Beta2 folder. If you use Tracker, copy and paste dll to tracker also.

Nemo121 -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/4/2011 8:08:12 PM)
One request: In the new PILOTS screen could you modify it so that instead of just allowing us to release pilots by EXPERIENCE that it would allow us to release them by whatever skill they are currently sorted by? E.g. Especially in 1944 and 45 Japan may not have the luxury of training pilot experience up. I often forego gaining experience instead graduating pilots when their skills reach a certain level irrespective of experience. So, many of my pilots in a training squadron could have Experience of 35 but some of those might have Air Skill of 40 and others might have Air Skill of 70. Obviously I only want to graduate the Air Skill 70 pilots but currently I still have to click them by hand. Allowing us to graduate pilots by user-selected skills would help improve this situation.

steamboateng -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/4/2011 9:43:23 PM)
Thanks, witpqs. I got the shortcut thingy straitened out.

Roger Neilson II -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/5/2011 8:44:48 AM)
Maybe I have missed something, but the fantastic work that is being done by MichealM and the rapidity of the updates of the BETA means that at times an update in a PBEM can be one version different - one player updates to say Build 1108q5, and by the time the other player gets the turn its at 1108q6. Going to get the right update there's only the latest one downloadable. Is there somewhere where each BETA is available to download to avoid this? If not it means we all need (those of us using the BETA) to download every version so we don't get caught by this. Roger

michaelm75au -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/5/2011 8:54:21 AM)
In my opinion, both players need to agree to upgrade to a specific version. And then pull down that version - best time is midweek as I tend to update on the weekend as that is the best to time to finish up and test changes. If one player misses out, I would suggest that the player who has the 'correct' version, send to his opponent the appropriate installer. Only the most current installer is kept in this thread.

Roger Neilson II -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/5/2011 12:07:53 PM)
Thanks Micheal, makes sense. Roger

pompack -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/5/2011 1:58:16 PM)
Another solution is to archive the updates. While I have never needed to backup, I always keep the update file on disk just in case.

rader -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/5/2011 6:09:57 PM)
Hi Michael, Just in case you didn't see this and because it's relevant to the latest beta, I thought I would post it here: The ability to move 5 or 10 pilots with max experience is great, but what it really should be is skill, not experience. It would be nice to be able to sort the list by a particular skill (say air, LowN, NavB) as we can now, and then move the top 5 or ten pilots of whatever skill we currently have the list sorted to. Additionally, it would be amazing if we could do this while not only transfering pilots from groups into general reserve, but also when transfering pilots from general reserve into groups (both emptying and filling air groups by the currently sorted skill).

Definitely the way to do it. I always agree in advance with my PBEM opponent about upgrading before we even get there. It is really up to the Japanese player to upgrade first and inform the Allied player of such at that point (as the Japanese player sends the Combat Replay and New Turn file).

Aircraft stacking problem? Wake should only be able to administer 3 air groups with 93 AV not as shown here. It was overstacked LCU wise so I shipped out a BF but it has never had an air HQ anywhere nea it the closest being 19 hexes away.

Stacking save. Latest patch.

michaelm75au -> RE: Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108q6 updated 3 October (2nd part) (10/7/2011 10:27:34 AM)
If no air HQ in range, then '1' is allowed from admin purposes (added back in version 1084b - patch 2 IIRC). Basically without an air HQ, a base supports groups equal to its size +1.
