European Air War - The Gen

Thanks Jel, I guessed that was the way it worked. I was out of it when most of these railway changes came in, so only really grappling with them now.

I had wondered whether the tmog system also worked with the mobile mods. Was going to do some experiments.

Jel, I used TList Editor to edit TList35.mpf, which relates to the lines in the Russian area, mainly to get in the Soviet Armoured train model. I did a mixed interdiction mission to Belaja Tserkov, which I hoped would pick up the railway, and it did. But the game then CTD'd looking for a file called...

Just had to backtrack (literally) in the railway making. You learn stuff all the time. Reset to 48 hours agao. Backups are a Good Thing!

Ray - would welcome assistance in sorting out local target layout, shipping and otherwise. Virtually all the targets are still default layouts.

I get really fed up sometimes with national/global situations. But as Holmes observed to Watson, "work is the best antidote to sorrow".

Thanks Ray, thinking of putting some shipping targets in the Black Sea, Adriatic, and Tyrrhenian Sea.

Thanks. I am building the rrd file by sections ie Berlin-Bagdad railway, Danube navigation, Italy North Coast railway etc etc. I will see how much I can get in before the game has a breakdown

Does the rrd file actually hold the section and segment numbers, or is that something the editor generates and displays for convenience?

Okay, I will carry on with the road/convoy layout. About which, a few queries. Do we know what the size limit on the rrd file is? I am assuming at the most it must be FFFF (65,535) sections, a section being defined by two nodes. Do we know if the game will run with a maximum size rrd file loaded? I ...

What's the cure? Should I go lay a few more roads near any target missing them?

So, after about six months work on the tile and height maps I have actually finished (more or less) making a new theatre.

I am now going to have a go at making a basic railway/shipping convoy layout.

It's taking longer than I originally intended to spend, but as I got into it, I thought I should actually do it properly, and actually finish something for a change. I've now moved it into a 1.6 setting, which also enabled me to sort out the two sides/capital city thing with the target lay out, AND ...

I suspect the tile map won't be ready before that.

Just a short update on this. I have done about a third of the tile map, adjusting the terrain tiles to the more realistic topography adjusted with DOM's utility. Hopefully it will move quicker once I'm in the lower portion of the map with extensive sea areas.

Thanks Jel.
