PC, Steam version, v716/64bit
If I click on "launch" campaign, it's stuck on the first loading screen and my OoB actually crashes. I don't even get to see a map or something.
Yeah...

The mod itself runs okay, I guess, as I could play some of the stand-alone (test) scenarios, but I could not get the campaign started.
I'm no campaign (editor) expert, so I have no idea why it doesn't work.
Ok, let's try this. Could you edit the text_english.txt file (in the "The Spanish Civil War v0.15" folder), replacing the text there with the followingGabeKnight wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 8:26 pm So I guess it's something basic with the campaign itself. A missing file or wrong filenames or such. Did you use some "special" Spanish characters in the file names?
...and then let me know if the campaign still doesn't work? Thanks// NAME

Thanks a lot for your comments, Gabe! The counters are my arch-nemesis, but I swear I will fix them in the next updatesGabeKnight wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 8:26 pm But hey, I've played the first two scens as standalone and they were fun and fast. Played flawlessly, very good balance for middle difficulty IMO. There was a sec. obj. to exit five ships which obviously shoud've been six, but it's just a misleading counter (the popup said to save all (six) ships, so I guess it's okay).
After we can fix the campaign issue somehow, it's gonna be a fun mod.
Regarding the difficulty, I was completely clueless if I was designing the scens too hard or too easy, so I appreciate a lot this kind of feedback The textfile change did nothing, but I've got it to work after I've deleted most of the "obsolete" files in the campaign directory:
It's good IMO. Similar to Duplex's scens: After you've survived the initial attacks, all's good.LNDavoust wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 12:18 am Thanks a lot for your comments, Gabe! The counters are my arch-nemesis, but I swear I will fix them in the next updates
Agree. After I've tried to copy them Mask-TGA files back, it crashed again. Maybe you need to have some additional filters/plugins installed in Windows for it to work(?)
). I guessed it to be a similar mechanic as with the first scen of the Panzerkrieg DLC (=to have some units near some hex), but I didn't know which units or hexes...
The real spanish sea tender Dedalus was a former german WWI ship that the country got as part as the war payments because of the spanish mechants sunk in the conflict (http://www.navypedia.org/ships/spain/sp_cv_dedalo.htm // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_s ... %C3%A9dalo). The spanish navy modified it heavily in the 20s to use it as a sea plane and ballon tender, and it was operationally used in the Desembarco de Alhucemas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhucemas_landing), an interwar conflict against the moroccan "rebels" of the north african colonial Spain. In the 30s, there were plans to modify it again to update it (it was obsolete at the moment), but the lack of budget left it in the port, and when the spanish civil war started the Dedalus was yet waiting for a final decision. In the real conflict it never left port, and was finally scrapped.Horst wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2019 4:35 pm These seaplane tenders could only maintain floatplanes and/or flying boats by using a crane lifting them from water next to them. Large combat ships also had such cranes for their seaplanes.

Supported OoB aircraft:
Greif: Ar196_A3 (fighter), Ar196 (recon)
Bussard: Ar196_A3 (fighter), Ar196 (recon), He59, Do18, BV_138
As mentioned in my link above, the Greif could also host the Do18 if someone wants to correct that. Navypedia is the best source of ship data.
While only the Bussard had a catapult to quickly launch aircraft, the Greif had to use its crane to lift the maintained planes back to the water first.
, that was the plan). And thanks a lot for the info regarding the german seaplanes and the data base of ships, Horst, very useful web indeed ^_^Great news! Thanks a lot for the testing, Gabe, I will add a warning in the first post next to the download link with the info regarding those treacherous, evil tga filesGabeKnight wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 5:34 pm Yep, the campaign plays okay now. Started from scratch and played through all four of the missions.
Glad you like it!GabeKnight wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 5:34 pm
Some remarks/suggestions about scen three:
- cool, didn't know that the tender vehicle can repair ships, too - Kudos for using it in the scen like that.
- none of my Soviet "lend lease" planes could land on the tender, though. Intended? Just askin', I'm no historic unit expert, but those planes look small enough to be able to land on water. Although it was nice to see the Arado fighter plane to be of some use finally.
- you should add one more exit hex for the player on the western edge (if you won't change the tender stats)
- you should fail the "all merchant ships" sec. obj. as soon as one transport ship gets destroyed
- the "sink convoy" obj. won't validate - and I've sunk the transport with my subs only. I hope you haven't intended to sink the DD, too? Impossible with the vanilla subs.
- at scenario end: the "sink two subs" objective changed from checked to failed. You probably forgot to deactivate the trigger upon completion of the objective.
The artys are annoyingly slow by design, but i will think about add a transport at least at one of them. And I also will consider quiting some turns, sure. Regarding the "self organize" objetives, there are two militia (soviet conscript units) that sould be linked to that. I will look into it, thanks. And yes, the mechanic is similar to the first Panzerkrieg scen, you are supposed to leave both units resting for the first turns to get a free updated infantry unit for your core, and an additional one for this mission.Some remarks/suggestions about scen four:
- none of my arty units had transports. I think you should add some.
- you could shorten the turn limit by five turns easily
- sorry, but while playing, I had no idea what you meant with the "self-organise" objective - there were no units or hexes linked to it. (It failed at some point, though
... Not so easy, it seems xD) but at least I am very happy with my new 2D militia image, those green, ill-disciplined, irregular bastards xD
Hi terminator. The campaign can be (probably
) played at the moment erasing the tga files in the campaign folder if you still cannot launch it properly, as we discussed before in the thread.
