sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (2/21/2018 8:02:38 PM)

Ah cool, thanks Bill. So to cover the other possibility I think I should add a mirror event that is '115 [2] [100] [0]', because either one or the other will fire, not both.



BillRunacre -> RE: 653N Mod (2/23/2018 7:16:49 PM)

Yes, that'll be best. It wouldn't work with most script types, but it will with a CONVOY script that is TYPE= 2. [:)]



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (2/24/2018 12:47:26 AM)

Oops, I didn't realize the type of event would matter. It is a decision event I have in 653N about the US supporting Free France. YES allows the Free French units to be eligible to arrive. I always take it, the computer seems to never take it, so I was trying to track down why [it is set to AI = 100%]. If I continue to have trouble with it, I will get back to you. Thanks [&o]



Rodimstev -> RE: 653N Mod (5/10/2018 1:57:30 PM)

thanks a lot for your answer
Rodim



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (5/10/2018 2:55:38 PM)

Hi Rodimstev - see the 653ModDNotes document for lots of important stuff, like:

Naval game:
Most of the Naval units from the stock game are not in this scenario. Both sides have Subs and a few Destroyers.



Rodimstev -> RE: 653N Mod (5/10/2018 4:39:34 PM)

hi sPzAbt653,

thanks a lot

the next time i will read this notes document before to quote....

Rodim



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (5/10/2018 11:58:00 PM)

It's ok, I think most of us don't like to have to read a whole lot, and tend to lose interest if we do. Unfortunately, the next version will have even more notes, and may even include a few passages re-written from the manual. But hopefully, the notes are overkill and players can still play and then only have to refer to the notes when a question arises. Or ask here [:)]

Any expected release date on that new version, and some info on what your changing? Pretty please?



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (5/14/2018 7:13:09 AM)

Well, I've been tinkering with Supply and Resource Values, and focused MPP's more on Mines and Oil, and added in some more historic options that didn't happen historically but could be an option under certain circumstances. I've been considering possibly doing an AAR type thread here in the Design Forum showing some of this stuff, thereby having it open for possible discussion and comments.

I've got to get it to where the major things work properly before I do that, otherwise it is a waste of time for anyone who is interested.

Edit: My current game just ended so I think I talked myself into doing that AAR, in a separate thread.



ReinerAllen -> RE: 653N Mod (5/23/2018 5:44:01 PM)

Why is the map so ... green?



Cataphract88 -> RE: 653N Mod (5/23/2018 9:24:13 PM)

You guys are European I would guess, and it has been pointed out to me that Europeans would not be fond of this particular Map Mod. I certainly hope that it isn't as repulsive as the Lord of Plague's work !



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (6/18/2018 7:37:12 PM)

Updated Post #1 to include v1.7

It looks like DropBox has rearranged its page since last I was there, but you still click the Download button at the upper right, and then skip the sign-in if you want by clicking at the bottom of that window, then continue to download the zip.



GungaDin16 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/8/2018 1:19:00 AM)

Sorry if I just missed something here but when I copy the 653N files into \campaigns I don't get any .cgn or .dat files under campaigns. is that why it doesn't show up in my 'load campaign' menu? Thanks.

BillRunacre -> RE: 653N Mod (8/8/2018 7:42:16 PM)

Hi GungaDin16

Is the cgn file included anywhere in the download? Only that is essential for play.

If not perhaps take another look at the Dropbox page as hopefully you'll find it there.

Bill



GungaDin16 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/9/2018 2:40:13 PM)

Thanks Bill - I did find the cgn file and put it in place but the scenario is still not listing. Do I need a .dat file as well?



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/10/2018 8:03:35 PM)

The cgn file is included in the dropbox file. I see you found it, very good.

The dat file is not needed - it is generated the first time you run the mod.

Looking at the file path at the top of your screenshot, you have placed 653N in a 'backup' folder, which may be why it is not showing in your Campaigns list.



BillRunacre -> RE: 653N Mod (8/11/2018 8:27:09 PM)

You're right sPzAbt653, the cgn file will need to be in the Campaigns folder



GungaDin16 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/13/2018 2:22:10 PM)

What's happening is that each time the game launches it creates a new folder and names it 'Backup Campaign' and sticks the new mod in there and changes the campaign folder to 'read only'. I tried changing everything to 'not read only' but the game keeps switching it back.

Any idea why this is happening?



GungaDin16 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/14/2018 9:33:16 PM)

OK One more try. I completely screwed up the rights to the Mygames folder and cant get them back. So...I downloaded and installed my Matrix version of the game in a different folder and updated it to 1.14.

1 - Will this mod work with the matrix version?

2 - If so, where to I place the 653N files?

THANKS



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/14/2018 9:50:17 PM)

I can't answer that so we'll have to wait for someone with more technical expertise to respond, or possibly you can open a ticket with Matrix Support.



BillRunacre -> RE: 653N Mod (8/15/2018 7:04:03 PM)

I agree that raising a ticket might be best. Hopefully they'll be able to work it out for you.



GungaDin16 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/24/2018 4:07:58 PM)

Hey I got 653N working and it looks great. Quick question though - were the names of the generals eliminated or am I still not set up correctly?



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (8/24/2018 10:53:04 PM)

I settled on Army and higher HQ Names instead of the general's names. Trying to keep general's names historical as the war progressed was a bit much.



ivanov -> RE: 653N Mod (10/22/2018 10:04:08 PM)

I haven't tried this mode yet but I'm wondering about the "convoy" system. If the convoy lines were replaced by the convoy locations, then the Allied player may just send the destroyers to sit on those locations. Sure the Allies don't have enough destroyers to cover all the locations but such a permanent area denial takes out the "cat and mouse" feel from the game.



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (10/22/2018 11:23:55 PM)

An Allied Destroyer sitting on a location does not create a permanent area denial because subs can force them away. The reality is that it's Cat and Mouse for the entire scenario.



ivanov -> RE: 653N Mod (10/23/2018 12:18:43 AM)

Subs chasing away the destroyers? Doesn't seem very realistic to me. It's your design, your choices but if I understand your intentions correctly, you wanted to make this mod more historical. If that's the case, the destroyers should be the hunters, not the other way around.



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 653N Mod (10/25/2018 2:08:47 PM)

You don't understand. The Naval aspect is heavily abstracted.



Oxybeles -> RE: 653N Mod (12/12/2018 4:41:30 PM)

Having graphical glitches with the blue front line, as it just disappears. Does not happen with the 653H mod.
