Hey everyone, i been meaning to attempt to fix the IJP campaign, Rising Sun, for a while now, the advanced tank specialization has always been bugged ever since the game became "World War II" instead of "Order of Battle Pacific".

I have fixed some leftover missing and wrong triggers in the US Pacific campaign (posted my fixes on Steam) and now hopefully i can fix the IJP campaign as well.

Thankfully the IJP campaign has less bugs, manly in the Midway map, where one objective cannot be completed if you have sunk US carriers in the previous maps (the map asks you to sink 3 carriers, while there will only be 2 carriers alive).

And the other problem is the aforementioned "Advanced Tanks" specialization, which is supposed to unlock the O-I Super Heavy Tank in 1945, but it never does.

I wish to attempt to fix the missing tank, but i cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to edit specialization effects.

Can someone give me a tutorial for it? Thanks in advance!

As far as I'm aware (and I've tried a lot of things), it isn't possible to edit the actual effects of specializations. You cannot change, for example, the naval training spec to give you 3 stars of xp instead of 1. Having said that, there may be a way to implement the O-I tank. Using triggers in scenarios, you can check which specializations have been unlocked by the player. Using this check, you can check for the unlocking of the Tank Production Program spec, and accordingly place a O-I tank at a set position (and perhaps subtract 8 land cp/add more supply if necessary).

I do wish the devs could give us access to the tools to create specializations and traits, though. It'd make modding even better.

You can edit the txt in the specialisations, I think most of them are found in the Language file english_7

The devs also started creating several specialisations that were never properly finished.
Home Guard - Britain
Free French - Britain
Resistance Fighters - Britain
Destroyer Tender - All
Rationing - All
