LOTS OF MP MESSAGES IN NEW PATCH

Post by norb »

Just a warning to those playing MP with the new patch. There are a ton of mp messages that will show up in the chat box while on the setup screen. I should have disabled these for the patch, but I forgot. I'll lose them when we go official. They may help debug if there are mp connection issues.

I just wanted to warn you that we know that they are there and they will be removed.

Thanks Norb I did notice them and wondered if you left them for any reason.
If I might say you guys did a great job on the hugh map Alpine. This map is what I needed to make campaign games for Leagues. I do have one question though. Is there a limit to how many VP locations I can put on that map or is there maybe an map seem issue that hinders VP locations? I have placed VP hold locations to use as resupply and some of them on the map start to count down by themselfs and go into the minus numbers without anyone being on them? If you might give me some insight to this it would be great.

I really like the size of the map it will work great for league games and also I thank you so very much for the K/M/W report you added to the gamedb. This game is going to be a hit with all as soon as they see the potential that the league has from it. I do hope I can place alot of vp on the map Alpine so we can resupply and keep the league games rolling on.

I thank you again for all your great work.

Sincerely,
JJMayer

P.S.

Now I see the real importance of blocking roads and unblocking roads for courriers Norb. Alpine map is like the whole battlefield on one map. Now roads are very important to the game using courriers.

There is no vp limit that I know of, but there could always be a bug. How are you modding the map?

I have placed vp on map to use as resuppy. They are set to Hold but I do see that some are on the seams of the map and the yellow circles are half there and half not there. I had 40 total VP's and most work but some just start to count down and go into the minus. If you need more info let me know I will do anything to help you get this out sir.

email your zipped up mod to sowsupport at scourgeofwar dot com. I do not believe that we have looked closely at modding this map, so there could be issues there we have not found. Thanks.

Hello Norb,

Thanks for your quick replys. I found that I can only put 19 victory points on the large Alpine Map. I really need more for the League Games.



It was worth a try.

Thanks again Norb.

Well It is offical Norb. I can't put in more then 19 VP's. I tried everything to see if I could put in more but 0 - 18 was the limit. Is there a way around this? I really need more.
I have such hope for this new Alpine map and VP's are very important. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
JMayer

Hello Again Norb,

I am asking a question now concerning Supply Ordnance Wagons. Can or Is there a way to get them to resupply? Can they be hard coded or may I mod them to be able to resupply? This is a very important part of League play also. Thanks for any help.

Sincerely,
JMayer

Ammo wagons cannot be resupplied. You can however adjust the load in the ammo wagon by changing the value in the correct line of the scenario.csv file.

Is there a reason that ammo wagons are not set to resupply? It would make League games more versified if they were able to resupply. Is there a chance that you might change that in future patches?
Thanks
