Hi CId, Thanks for the fast reply; As I said, Im ok with the art as it is now. This MOD is already a masterpiece and Im very pleased with its balance and new feautures you added as the diffrent map styles for seasons and plenty of new bases; Despite post quite few here in the forum I play AE only in PBEM with an old and trustable friend back the days of STEEL PANTHER AT WAR and WITP; I even had contributed with scenrario design for SPWAW; All that said I just want to thank you for such awesome work![&o]

Level I Update Link 2.51 https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ap7XOIkiBuUwg-8ZqLaG9QbsVHAolg On the subject of "new bases" - of course you mean "new to AE." Most of them were added for significant cause. There are truly major bases built during the war wholly absent from stock, cities with major populations and significant industries, and more minor places which "explain" why there is a road or railroad ending in that hex? Researching each, as well as the "old" locations, to insure I got infrastructure, population and industry correct, I learned that sometimes there was just "hope" development would follow the railroad - so the locations are very sparse. That happened in places as diverse as Siberia and Australia. Even so, in game terms, these are places that permit strategic movement and might, in some game situations, be important as bases (directly or for the transfer of aircraft between different areas). Much of the work related to bases is not obvious to players. To indicate the more important findings, I put notes names in the place name - describing the major local industry if the place is famous for that, or some unusual local phenomena which was exploited in that era (e.g. natural gas, coal gas, hydro power, etc.) Note that in RHS "oil wells" are oilwell/rubber plantation - following a suggestion made in WITP days by Andrew Brown: we model rubber as oil. If the number of "oilwells" is very small - say 1 to 3 - it means the local industry is rubber plantations. Less obvious is that the most important of resources shipped in PTO by weight was coal. [According to Parillo fully 2/3 of Japan's imports by weight are coal.] So we consider "resources" to include coal, or possibly wood (in an area where wood is fuel for local industry), or peat (which is sort of halfway between coal and wood). At the same time, we consider the "resources required" of industry to actually be the coal (for HI) or wood/peat (for LI) used to power that industry. We have tried to model the inputs needed for the economy to produce, and at the same time give roads, railroads and ports a "job" in terms of moving resources. A "road to nowhere" does not do that very well - adding locations permits that area to contribute what it does contribute to the economy - even if it is small.

RHS Level I Technical Update 2.02 https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=30E506228938D79E!33136&authkey=!AIeV-gp_t254BBU&ithint=file%2cmsi The focus of this update is Allied air art. This sometimes involved changing existing bitmaps - to correct insignia - to "reverse" tops so they are in the same direction as others on the Allied side - etc. Sometimes it involved using new, correct bitmaps instead of sharing bitmaps. I found some art in the common art project we were not using, other art on the web, or art I could use if modified. The Allies have a good deal of shared art. Now we know how many bitmaps we have used, we can "split up" the shared art a bit - rendering more correct art in important cases. Related to this we changed aircraft files, mainly in re pointers at air art. A couple of cases involved new records entirely - and there will be more of this in a few days. This is more or less a top down review - so many of the changed cases are CAF. Also related to this are changes to air art documentation files - both to reflect these changes - and also to reflect changes already done still called for in the documentation. The CAF Hawk III, CAF V-93S and CAF Wapati all have Chinese insignia. [The CAF Hawk II shares Hawk III art; the CAF Wapati now has its own record and does not share the pool with RAF]. The Ju-52 top now faces the same direction as other Allied planes do. The USAAF P-66 got its own art. So did the RAF Spearfish. Some other types got cleaned up insignia or added insignia. The ship class file was updated because of a reported pointer problem - it was missing and 0 automatically becomes IJN Yamato art! Two pointers were fixed. The location file was updated with respect to two locations in Japan - entirely related to industry and stockpiles. Several pwhexe.dat files were repaired and two more were updated completely to standard. Experimental work indicates that we may be able to add locations in the map border area only using official mechanisms - links. It is unclear if we can use the lower left corner for a mini map - but I am doubtful.

This line is now revised - see below. There is a new one every few days (due to art updates just now, and map updates after that). Also, the installer is supposed to work with a standard install. If you use your own folder, or if you have any problems, copy the content of the ART sub folder to your game folder, the SCEN folder to your SCEN folder, and the file pwhexe.dat from the PWHEXRHS sub folder to the top level AE folder. The RHS sub folder only has documentation, but it may help understand things in detail. Also you may email me. quote: ORIGINAL: Yaab 1. Create manually C:\RHS\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition 2.

Not often understood as such, this too is a peculiar Ju-88 variation with very low power engines and specialized ASW sensors (radar and MAD). The Ki-50 was studied for use and even licensed by Japan. It is present as an option in most versions only in non-strictly historical scenarios because it didn't make the cut. IMHO the only version really important in game terms is the early night fighter one - because no other night fighter is available so soon (even if it is MUCH later than it was available in Germany, for technical reasons). Glad someone noticed it and likes it. We have the A2, A5, A17, C6, D2 H1 and even one with the only AAM I know of in any version of AE - the HS-298 being the first operational AAM in the world.

This must not be on turn one. The 7th Ind Tank Regiment, IJA, is unit 4165. In Scenario 105 it starts at Cam Rahn Bay and is an element of the 2nd Tank Division. In Scenarios 101 to 104 it also is part of the same division, but that division may not form until it historically was, in 1942. I DO show the data as corrupted in 101-104 - as you report. The device should be motorized support squads. Correction to follow in a moment. it is a typo - the correct squad is device 253 and the one entered (in 101-104 only) is 243 - the engine. If the unit is combined into its division, it will automatically correct itself. If not - it will not correct except in a new game - due to how code treats corrections. quote: ORIGINAL: Vipersp Hi Cid, I found a problem with the 7th tank Regt (-)Battalion at Babo; at its TOE I noticed a Mitsubishi Kasai/1430...

7.27 update https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=30E506228938D79E!2716&authkey=!AMrDULsG2RJdsI8&ithint=file%2cmsi This update includes everything EXCEPT pwhexe.dat files - Spring and Fall files (which exist and do include major additions like the Tea and Horse Caravan Road, but not all eratta updates) still need to be done. The original focus was on Allied aircraft art. But it led to work on Japanese air art, land order of battle, leaders, pilots, and air groups! The biggest change is cosmetic - my last set of Allied air art was significantly cleaned up by Mifune - who wants to have another go to clean it up still more. On top of his 'interim' cleanup I added a few more things, and also cleaned up a few bad pixels myself - and one misalignment (of top and alpha). Most of the work is on splitting shared art into separate art - either merely changing the markings - or adding a missing type of art (getting rid of the nearest art standard almost entirely). This latter may survive only for technical one off cases - e.g. a Portugese Walrus may remain in wrong colors - probably French - assuming I add a French one - otherwise British. New types for most scenarios (all but 99), and even in 99 new art, exists for French Hawk 76s and French Spitfires. I wondered (having forgotten) if France intended to send troops to liberate Indochina: after finding they did, I was creating the LCU when I found them already in the OB! But the divisions lacked a formation - so I pointed them at the new formation I had just made. I also discovered my French Army materials identified their commanders - so I added them. I added a French fighter group - a peculiar joint British-French affair (with two different names - one for each - and pilots of both nations - and naval as well as air force) with a superb combat record. I wondered about the Yak-1 - and concluded that the Yak-1 itself was too critical to send to the East - but that the Yak-1b almost certainly got there (not immediately in spring 1942, but later). So I added it - and replaced the factory making Yak-3s with it - so the plane will appear in ongoing games - and that factory will automatically upgrade to the Yak-3 anyway. I learned that the Yak series is the most produced fighter of the war (not obvious since it has four different numbers!). It also has the peculiarity that the last model - the 3 - is lower than some of the interim models! The 3 is essentially a lightweight 1 with no external loads - the 1 carried bombs - yielding astonishing maneuverability on the same engine. It was also both easy to fly and easy to maintain, and, unlike the 1, standardized and easy to produce. Most of the new art is for mundane - and often early war - aircraft - rendering more of the planes players see all the time in distinctive colors or in the correct art (instead of generically similar art). And most of the art looks better because of the subtle things Mifune does at the pixel level I don't yet grasp how to do. We have all six air art filmstrips revised, all aircraft files revised, all air group files revised, all pilot, leader and location files revised as well. In addition there is a fairly substantial device rework. This is intended to address both aircraft devices (dates etc) and replacement rates for units that never "flesh out" that should at least to some extent. There will be one more round of air art based updates - but there are few left to consider doing. Mifune also wants to do still more cleanup.

In an ONGOING GAME any NEW aircraft type will display data, but not be available. A NEW GAME START should show the starting date and starting pool. Some of the glider and G7 types have been added because I got art to use with them - although one glider was probably always present (Ku-8 - using only the tug art - now replaced by tug and glider combination art - but due to miscommunication - the art is for the Ku-7 vice the Ku-8. I don't draw - so I use the same art for both as 'nearest available art'. The G7 art is a combination of art from the Altwars site and things I have cobbled together - changing the insignia to Japanese - adding 4 engine versions to the existing 2 engine versions - and also adding missile armed art - with the same Altwars common AE art project origins but again modified by me. Note that most versions of the G7 are only available in Japan Enhanced Scenarios 99 (not completed but issued for review) and 105 (playable). Only two types - G7M1a and c - are in strictly historical scenarios as an option - because both were developed - then rejected in favor of the G8M on the basis that range was "inadequate." It was an error - there was not enough time to get the G8M into production, and it could not have been produced in the numbers of a two engine aircraft either. In fact the G7 designs offered outstanding range, better protection, and better warload. They were licensed variations on the He-177 - which was a very advanced aircraft for its era - WITHOUT attempting to pretend it was a dive bomber OR to use the peculiar coupled engines. Japan opted for either four separate engines (the 1a, which can be built sooner), or two more powerful engines (the 1c, which took longer to become available) - both of which were reasonable solutions. quote: ORIGINAL: Vipersp Cid, Why the availability of the both Ku glider units and G7 Katana are displayed as 00-00?

quote: ORIGINAL: ifailmore is this mod for pbem only or can i play ai (what side prefered and or what scenarios) RHS is designed for PBEM or FTF on principle. However, because of the need for long term, computer vs computer testing (of the economy in particular, and other things) AND because many players want to play vs AI (which is an idiot) - a few RHS scenarios are designed for AI play. These OMIT features which AI does not grasp - so you may NOT play vs AI EXCEPT in them. This led to the concept of "simplified RHS" - but it isn't quite the same as "AI RHS" - so I will explain. 1) Scenario 102 is named RHSAIO = AI Oriented. It was designed for use vs AI, is the long term computer test platform, and can be played right now. 2) Scenario 106 is named Downfall Scenario. It is a full map variation of stock's Downfall, and in common with stock, is the only one designed to work with Kamakaze planes. However, while it is issued, it is NOT playable. OB and location modifications for 1945 are extensive - and underway - but its ONLY utility is so you can 'play around with' late war planes, ships, missiles and LCU - it is still part way stuck in 1941 deployments. It may be a lot of fun for the Allies - and will NOT be fun for the Japanese - so AI is probably mandatory. The Allies have overwhelming superiority. It also will be the only RHS mini scenario - starting 27 January 1945 and running 247 days. 3) Scenario 104 is RHSRAO = Russian Active Option. This is for players who like "simplified RHS" omitting minor naval vessels, Railroad units (which players must keep on railroads, AI has no clue about why?), inland waterways, and other things making for less player management. But it is NOT possible to play vs AI because AI has no clue about Active Russians (who are not at war per se). Active Russians is the default RHS standard - as a way to give the Allies control over Russia and also so they do not have to watch helplessly as Japan plans an invasion. It is not possible for an AI game to include this. Note that there is also a Russian Passive Option for scenario 101 (i.e. 103) - if anyone wants to play Full RHS without dealing with Active Russians (which requires management of some awkward things - like shipping trying to supply Kamchatka from the mainland). So for now your option is the one designed for AI play - 102. Some day 106 will be added to the list. Being an Allied dominated scenario, it will probably not be played with humans on the Japanese side - unless someone really wants to play with jets and rockets, SAMs and guppy submarines!

[Code provided for an undefined "Axis Nation" and two more undefined "Allied Nations" - but these are only 'hooks' for programmers - and there is no way to define a new nation in the editor.] So Thailand is defined as "IJA" - and the default location for units to appear if the primary one is not possible for IJA (or IJN) is Tokyo. It is the way the game works. Not under modder control. Japan is rewarded for the rapid unification of Thailand. Deliberately - Thailand was not uniformly Axis and was only unified under pressure. Similarly, the Allies are rewarded for holding out longer in various places. Many units in he Philippines appear later - or NEVER - if the enemy captures them.

If you load a new game, you will see all the RTA units appear at the correct places. A few cases appear in red, indicating they won't appear there unless the location is Axis at the date they appear (the date Thailand declared war). However - also note none of the major units (e.g. divisions) are so affected. FYI RTA units appear on both sides. "Allied" RTA units appear briefly at game start (except in the 1945 Scenario 106). The Sixth Division, broken into its historical parts at historical points it really defended, reinforced by local Thai Provincial Police units and mobilized "Thai Military Academies" (high schools organized in a para-military way), may resist the Japanese or even "attack" locations which are "loyal" to the "wrong" side - sometimes with significant operational effects if the Japanese do not invade and stop them: e.g. aircraft sent forward to the "friendly" location may be wiped out. Late in the war, other RTA units appear - these also are historical - and they either form on Ceylon or they try to enter in Thailand and, if the location isn't Allied, default to Ceylon or Aden. The Thai are the only "nation" which has an air unit on both sides - in honor of forming an Allied fighter squadron to join the Allies.
