Erik's campaigns, mods and multiplayer scenarios

Weserübung

I have also changed mechanism for German invasions. Moving 2 warships next to or 1 hex from the port (Narvik, Trondheim etc) will spawn the German land units at the objective. I have yet to test this...

Vesting Holland 2.0
This game has failed to complete the replay twice

The replay runs smoothly until the end of the Dutch segment, with the progress bar moving at the same pace.
Then the turn pauses and the bar shoots to the end. No Allied units appear and End Turn button is blank. Exiting OoB is my only option.
Other VH 2.0 have not reached Turn 4, bit of a worry

We'll see if the other current Holland games stall around turn-4. The Dutch have no unit spawns so this error is a bit odd.
If all test games fail, we of course have to restart using the latest version. All the jap tanks should have been fixed in that version.

A very similar thing used to happen with your big China v Japan game. Going to get round to fixing that, one day

I need to run this game on the multiplayer server to be able to spot any missing modded unit types.
So apart from me, I need two more players to run the test (a few turns should suffice).

Any takers (apart from Brenmusik that kind of volunteered )?
I will create one challenge.

Norway latest version. Coastal guns cannot see adjacent ships, thus cannot target them.

In first picture the lower coastal gun can only see the adjacent enemy ship above because my infantry were force to retreat so moved and thus spotted it. But the lower can cannot see anything else so only has the one target.

In this second picture the gun can only see the ships that went up the fjord because my infantry retreated up the road revealing the ships. Given the number of German ships at that location for the invasion fleet (and having played that player) I know there must be German ships adjacent to my 2 coastal guns but I cannot see them to target them.

The 'blind' costal gun issue is really weird. There are no changes to the units.csv since the last Weserubung version.

It looks like the multiplayer server is handling units and commanders differently every time we play a new scenario version. Like the 10 (!) De Gaulle commanders replacing all stock German commanders.

I'm stumped

Campaigns stalling

I am currently running into a problem while running some campaigns where when it is the AI turn the game just stalls and all I am able to do is exit to menu or exit to desktop. So far I found it on Squad Mod 2.2-Semper-Fidelis 1943-44, Kokoda Trail 1942, and Korea 3.1. The rest of the campaigns seem to run ok with no issues. I have tried doing a clean install of the game and the custom content. Any assistance that can be provided would be most appreciated.

hello everyone. I'm new to oobs moding and i was trying to get the Korean War mod by erik. after extracting, i put the folder under documents/MyGames/order of battle/mods that helped to show up the mod in the modding launcher but the when i try to launch a campaign it starts loading indefinitely(no crash or freeze just indefinite loading)

i looked into the mod folder and tried to place campaign folder under documents/mygames/oob/campaign and the scenario folder under documents/mygames/oob/scenario
but that did not work either.

am i doing something wrong? or could it be the version of the game? i looked up the forum but couldnt find anything atleast recently. any help is appreciated

[Erik2]

The correct path is My Games -> Order of Battle - WW2 -> Mods -> Korea

Launching the Korea Pt.1 campaign works for me (it takes a while to load the first scenario on my old laptop though)

[KarisFraMauro]

I'm probably doing something wrong as usual, heh, but can't seem to join the multiplayer 2 vs 2 Znamenka game. It shows up properly, in gray rather than red as I installed the new micromod version. And when I click on it I can see the other players with their portraits normally. However clicking the "join" button has no effect at all. It's been ages since I joined a new game (my current Russian Campaign one with jgarcia is proceeding at a stately pace) so perhaps I'm forgetting something obvious? As a test I tried to join the other available games and those had the same issue. Click on join, nothing happens. Initially I overwrote the files in the older micromod, but in case that was the error I deleted everything than reinstalled from scratch. Still no love. Perhaps I shouldn't have decrompressed the micromod folder? Although I assume if that were the issue everything would be red and I wouldn't even make it to the join part.

At any rate, all help and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. Oh yes, I don't believe the games are password protected either so that shouldn't be the issue.

[Erik2]

We've had issues joining several different scenarios. There's something funky about the multiplayer server IMO.

[KarisFraMauro]

Oof. I appreciate the information anyway. Wasn't there some update to Order of Battle yesterday? That caught me off guard as I assumed the game had been effectively abandoned. Didn't help joining multiplayer though.
