Re: PC1 US1942 Campaign Translation

I refined some of the scenarios in the North Africa campaign, and added a couple new ones in Sicily. In Sicily, the Troina and Messina scenarios are still in progress. So far, they consistently crash on my machine, and aren't safe to share yet. I haven't started the scenarios for the Italian mainlan...

Re: PC1 US1942 Campaign Translation

I've had some more time to work on the conversion. 1942-43/North Africa is basically complete, except for Tunis. The scenario keeps crashing on my machine, even after three conversion attempts. I have also completed the first two scenarios of 1943-44/Italy, and should have the use of the North Afric...

Re: PC1 US1942 Campaign Translation

I've worked on further scenarios. The campaign up to Mateur, Bizerte, and Tunis have been completed. I've also converted this into a mod, so that I can use a recent units.csv file from the PanzerCorps1 conversion. Many thanks to that team for their hard work and inspiration, and to Grondel for his h...

Re: Change unit orders

The trigger has been firing, and I get the tutorial message at the end of the function. Setting the count to 0 still didn't change the orders.

This is the latest copy of the scenario, with the last recommended change.

Re: Change unit orders

I tried it, and the orders haven't changed even by turn 5. Thank you for the idea.

In an odd way, I feel better that I didn't miss something completely obvious when someone like you looks over my scenario.

Re: Change unit orders

The trigger is set up properly, and fires as expected. This is the current code dealing with the order changes. The removal of the air units works successfully, as does the final tutorial message. Only the order change is failing. function Turn12Condition() return world.round == 1 end turn12Message ...

Re: Change unit orders

I freely admit that Lua isn't a programming language I'm comfortable wit. I isn't my first, or even tenth programming language, but I'm not the best with scripting languages, even with the Lua manual.

Re: Change unit orders

I had rewritten the logic in the Lua script since my original post. I've also modified the first order, in case the use of Default for the first order was causing the issue. Looking at the Lua code you provided, and my updated code, the only difference I see is that I didn't use parentheses in the i...

Re: Change unit orders

I'm still having issue with changing unit orders. I've looked at several scenarios where this happens, and I'm not seeing what I'm going wrong. I've uploaded a copy of the scenario, in case someone has time to see if I've messed up something obvious. https://www.mediafire.com/file/bmojt20q7rlnacw/Ka...

Re: Grand Campaign 1939-1945 (Custom Campaign)

I noticed a bug in the 1940 Campaign, in the Albert Canal scenario. One of the objectives is to raid Brussels, but Brussels isn't labeled on the map.

PC1 US1942 Campaign Translation

In my spare time, I've been doing a basic translation of the US 1942 campaign from Panzer Corps 1. I got tired of playing as the Germans. So far, I have a three scenario training sequence, plus most of the scenarios up through Sbiba. I'm still having issues with Kasserine Pass and El Guettar scenari...

Re: Multiple units on a single Hex - PzC 3 idea

There are some interesting thoughts here. I do have a couple of additions. The first is that it might support the concept of tank-mounted infantry. This is listed in several of the US Army histories of WWII, but I haven't seen it implemented in PzC2. The second is more of a concern. I often use stra...

Change unit orders

In a scenario, I'm trying to set up two sets of unit orders - the first that covers the first several turns, then a second set once a turn-based trigger fires. I've attached the unit's AI configuration (for the Axis player, #1). This is the LUA code from the script turn12Message = NSLOCTEXT("sc...

Re: Editor Issues and Requests

I hadn't considered that, Grondel. Unfortunately, most of the time it's to pick up the units, relative placement, and the core/auxiliary setup. While converting, I'm translating the maps manually to keep the same orientation that PC1 had - having North on the right is too confusing for me. (shrug)

Editor Issues and Requests

During my conversion of a PzC1 campaign, I've noticed several issues. 1) Occasionally, the PzC1 and/or PzC2 editor will disappear from the task bar. It's still running, but not visible. 2) The PzC2 editor crashes trying to import the Battle of Kasserine Pass scenario from PzC1. I'm not sure why - th...

Retreats and Blowing Bridges

I'm translating the US Corps campaigns from PzC1, and I've hit a couple of snags. 1) In Kasserine Pass, I need to change the Axis behavior from attacking to retreating to specific exit hexes. So far, I haven't found out how to change the AI behavior to accomplish this. I've looked at the Pz1 Axis co...

After testing, I found that Git may be used in the users Campaigns and Scenarios directories to keep track of changes successfully, without causing issues in the game.

Source Control

While modifying scenarios during a campaign conversion from PzC1 (US 1942), I get scenarios to work, then the next change breaks things. I'd like to use version control software to make it easier to see how I might have broken things. Has anyone used source control software, such as Git, in the My G...
