R.E.D. World War II development thread

here's the current development of v.17, with the 1936 files merged and first functions for maritime convoy...

those supply roads are specific to each scenario, I've put the define example in ScriptEuro1940.lua :

Spoiler :

Code:

-- first define the check functions that will be stocked in the g_Convoy table... 
function IsRouteOpenUStoFrance()
	local bDebug = true
	Dprint("   - Checking possible maritime route from US to France", bDebug)
	local turn = Game.GetGameTurn()
	if g_Calendar[turn] then 
		turnDate = g_Calendar[turn].Number
	 else 
		turnDate = 0
	end
--	if turnDate < 194000101 then
	if turnDate < 0 then -- testing
		return false
	end
	local open = false
	local destinationList = g_Convoy[US_TO_FRANCE].DestinationList
	for i, destination in ipairs(destinationList) do
		local plot = GetPlot (destination.X, destination.Y )
		Dprint("      - Testing plot at : " .. destination.X .. "," .. destination.Y , bDebug)
		if plot:IsCity() then
			local city = plot:GetPlotCity()
			Dprint("      - Plot is city...", bDebug)
			if city:GetOwner() == GetPlayerIDFromCivID( FRANCE, false ) and not city:IsBlockaded() then
				Dprint("      - " .. city:GetName() .. " is owned by france and not blockaded !", bDebug)
				open = true
			end
		end
	end
	return open
end

-- Route list
US_TO_FRANCE = 1

-- Convoy table
g_Convoy = { 
	[US_TO_FRANCE] = {
		Name = "US to France",
		SpawnList = { {X=0, Y=50}, {X=0, Y=55}, {X=0, Y=60}, {X=0, Y=65}, {X=0, Y=70}, {X=0, Y=75}, },
		RandomSpawn = true, -- true : random choice in spawn list
		DestinationList = { {X=21, Y=42}, {X=21, Y=45}, {X=29, Y=50}, {X=29, Y=34}, }, -- La Rochelle, St Nazaire, Dunkerque, Marseille
		RandomDestination = false, -- false : sequential try in destination list
		CivID = FRANCE,
		MaxFleet = 1, -- how many convoy can use that route at the same time (not implemented)
		Frequency = 25, -- probability (in percent) of convoy spawning at each turn
		Condition = IsRouteOpenUStoFrance,
	},

}

The functions to handle the convoy spawning and moving are a bit dispersed atm, I'll surely group them all in a SupplyRoute.lua soon... But defining multiple convoy routes using the above example for T_KCommanderbly maps is already possible

what's coded:
- convoy spawning, depending on the return of the condition fuction
- selecting a reachable destination
- automove to it (even for human player convoy, you'll have to protect them, but you won't directly control the convoy itself)

what's todo :
- change destination on the fly if the current one become unreachable (atm the convoy stop and the human player can control it until the original destination became open again)
- make it go for an adjacent plot of the destination if it can't reach it because of a friendly unit already on it...
- force subs to hunt convoys
- convoy safe arrival should give different bonuses : materiel, personnel, new unit... (only material now)

 

Someone else with this bug ?

 

thanks all, investigating the issue

 

@T_KCommanderbly : for the 1942 scenario, the new projects you've created for earlier units (P-40, P-38, B-17, B-25) to use in the 1936 scenario where note defined in the 1942 files (in g_Major_Projects and g_Projects_Done).

Units are linked to project, any scenario wanting to use a unit must have the corresponding project defined.

I had edited the 1940 files to reflect that, but forgot to do so in the 1942 one.

So I've removed the g_Major_Projects table from the 1942 and 1936 define files, as I suppose you want all units to be available there, and they are all listed in the g_Major_Projects table of main defines file.

When re-defined in the scenario define, g_Major_Projects allows you to restrict projects for the theater of operation of that scenario by removing unwanted reference.

And I've added the missing references in g_Projects_Done for the 1942 files.


Now I'm looking at the 1936 case, as they where correctly defined here...

 

Yep it's UK in game. But I'll check for English/British, thanks.

There are some inconsistency in my code on that part as I've taken the England civilization as a base for the UK... But in game it should always refer to UK, so you can report any missing text I've left there.

 

it's not fixed.

 

Now it should be

The PROJECT_M4A2 was not correctly defined (was defined as PROJECT_M4A2 and the game was looking for PROJECT_M4A2SHERMANIII, making it and all following entry of the USA projects table ignored...)

so here's v.17 beta2

 

Yep, T_KCommanderbly has used some placeholder for the new nations needed in the 1936/1942 scenarii, if someone has the time to make the corresponding text that would help.

 

Here it is :

Events.SerialEventCityCaptured.Add( FallOfDenmark )

quickly tested, seems to work correctly now

 

There is a custom liberation of Africa event, when allies take back french colonies.

I've not started others, and I will surely use your Fall of Denmark event...

For new units I want to find a way to prevent the 256 limit first. I've a few ideas, but they may be difficult to integrate without messing your scenarii.

 

I want them all
