Strangeish problem.

I run the install and it creates a folder called Beta2 within the main AE directory. It does NOT create a shortcut. That's fine though, i can create that myself. For testing though I just double click on the Executable in Beta2.

When I do that the game crashes and states "Error: Unable to find PW Data."

BTw the Beta2 directory contains the executable and pwsdll.dll

That's it. So, what am I missing?

Been noticing this myself.  Used to be able to get Resources to flow to Fusan by simply pulling from there long enough.  But now, it seems that they will pool in Pt Arthur no matter and leave 19,000 resources in Fusan.  Supplies hang in PA as well, but you have your demand buttons to address that.   What I am trying to check is whether or not I am actually getting the full turn load of resources onto the ships at Fusan.  I am clearly loading more than 19,000 per turn.

One thing is now clear though; computer convoys (not CS, but computer) are not working for me with Fusan only being at 19,000.  When I start everything looks fine the furst run, it loads, runs to Fukuoka, unloads and returns.  But then it just sits at Fusan without loading again.   I suspect that the computer setting looks to see that there isn't enough resource and so won't start loading.  I'm having to run my convoys manually.

Fusan can only be built to size 8 port compared to PA's size 9.  I'm building up Fusan's air field to see if the combined total will make a difference..  Like mjk428, only reporting here.  Not sure if this is WAD or not.

Can you add a save with the situation in Fusan not loading?
Want to see if anything is being drawn to or from that port.

Another is to add the target preparation location of each LCU when choosing what to load on an amphib TF. At present I have to go to the land units, order by prep location, find the units I have set up for an amphib, write them down, and then add the units on the list when I go to the amphib screen. Maybe this has already been done, you seem to have covered a swag of informational stuff already.

Hello Michael;

Great to see all this great work you're doing. I know the goal posts keep moving, but I've not noted this as a change in the wings, my apologies if you've covered it. To do with GUI around amphib TFs:

I'd like to be able to change the Opmode of a land unit when you're putting together an amphib TF. Currently the amphib window just informs you that a unit is not in combat mode (or strategic mode for that matter with a transport) TF. Presently you have to exit the TF, change Opmode of the units, and then return to the TF to load up - seems like an unnecessary requirement.

Another is to add the target preparation location of each LCU when choosing what to load on an amphib TF. At present I have to go to the land units, order by prep location, find the units I have set up for an amphib, write them down, and then add the units on the list when I go to the amphib screen. Maybe this has already been done, you seem to have covered a swag of informational stuff already.

Anyway, just thought I'd add the request.

Gonna have to run a couple of turns to create it. I've been manually loading and all of my recent saves have it that way. Try to have it for you tomorrow.

The next build will expand the stockpiling option to bases. The code had hooks for this (added in last patch) but I hadn't activated it.
You will be able to stockpile supply, fuel, resource and oil at bases. This means that bases will retain these and not allow other bases to access them.
Note that this applies only to supply&resource movement between bases, normal LCU and industry access is not affected.

OMG! Can I now stuckpile fuel for ships for example in Brisbane and not have it being sucked to industry in other parts of Australia?

Michael,

Here you go a save with a TF at Fusan not yet loading. I've been cycling cargo TF's here since about 20Dec, so about 14 turns or so. Note the large store yet at PA. Not sure if WAD or not. I can manually fill TF's. But on computer mode, they won't refill upon return. They just sit. I suspect because Fusan only show 19,000 or so resources and so it thinks it cannot fill.

Not sure if WAD or not. Appreciate you looking into it.

This is a mod based upon Andy's Ironman Allied and GC1. I don't think that matters though for this issue, but no doubt you will see some units that are not in the GC.

Will there be a way to get the fuel out of an empty base?? When I play Japan and after I capture all of Luzon, I would like to get the fuel out of all the bases I'm not using rather than have 2000 fuel at various bases. Right now I would like it at Manila and Naga only.

The Fusan convoys seems to be an ordinary TF.
I routed it back to a Home Island port and made it a CS:Fusan with a return load of resources.

It started loading the resources once it unloaded its delivery. Not sure if this is something due to the overall tweaking of resource movement; not stockpiling as none set, and not from stopping the Fusan industry.
Will load up a K7 program and test same.

Search arcs work. Testing is always good, so jump on board! Of course, you will also get to enjoy all teh various massively good improvements, too.

Can you please elaborate a bit on this change?
Not being a native speaker, I just simply can't understand what you've tweaked.

The AFBs can now operate more 4E bombers from AF6+ without stacking penalties?
Or less?
