Mega New Elk WIP

@black_elk

Yes, it's quite easy to change the starting setup, so multiple start dates would be no problem.

By the way here's the French xml, be careful as there are no unit placement.
mega_new_elk.xml

@wc_sumpton

oh yea I changed Prinsk to Pinsk. I've never heard of either one but Pinsk it is

I'll update your xml and check it out

[wc_sumpton]

@beelee

Nice! Still no units?

Artillery supports infantry and mech. Armour and fighter support tac. Tac, as flying artillery, should support mech not armour. Then add tec plus mech support armour.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

heh heh plenty of units needs a few more

Working on placements right now. Here's latest look

Looks as if Frankfurt is next. Headed to your stomping grounds @Panzerstahl-Helm-0

Edit
Yea that'd be good for a map option. My impression is Elk wants to keep it as similar to G 40 play so people will be familiar with it from the get go. Just bigger map.

Can add other stuff as options and mods as it goes on.

@beelee

Was talking '39 not '41. Still looking really good!

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

🤪 Always Welcome!

@panzerstahl-helm-0

Franfurt now has a orderly place

I will quit spamming

@beelee

Trying to be helpful here. Are you editing pu_place by hand, or are you using 'Decoration Placer' in the map tools?

Cheers...

[beelee]

@wc_sumpton

I'm doing it by hand for adjustments . It started out as however. Idk, I think it uses centers. Don't want it placing over the names, so I tweak when needed or if I want to squeeze in another place.

Edit
Hmm ... I don't remember using the Decoration placer before. Maybe I can move them with it ? Idk they're already there and would probably need to be tweaked anyway.

I'll check it out to see how it works anyway

[wc_sumpton]

@beelee

Although the map making tools are old, one the basic are done, the map can be loaded to view. Just save pu_place, load game, make adjustments, reload game, etc...

It maybe easier to commit out unitInitialize, to get a clean view.

Just trying to be helpful.

Cheers...

Hmm ... triplea has froze up a half dozen times today. I wonder if Mega is too mega ?

@Black_Elk @wc_sumpton you guys have that problem ? Might just be machine/provider specific to me Idk

[beelee]

@wc_sumpton

heh heh you always helpfull

wizard wc :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[beelee]

Elk said Mega is a bit too Mega at times too. Can't run multiple triplea at same time. Doesn't always do it.

I wonder if an AI is trying to take it over ?

No problems here. Laptop is about 10 years old, but it does have 32mg memory/1tb ssd/win10 so I don't have many freezes. Sorry.

[beelee]

@wc_sumpton yea I don't really no what I got. Spaghetti mode

[beelee]

Hmm ... I tried adding wc's French xml to the games folder. I renamed it by adding 1939 to the end. Changed mapName as well and it's not showing up.

I copied the html notes and changed their name too. Must be missing a step. Anyone know where I'm screwing up ?

[wc_sumpton]

@beelee

Did you add it to map.yml.

• game_name: World War I 1914 WC_Sumpton
  file_name: world_war_i_1914_wc.xml

Cheers...

[beelee]

@wc_sumpton nope

I can't get the TTy names to move now. I thought they used centers for their coordinates ?

[beelee]

@wc_sumpton

I added it to the yaml and I get two Mega Elk's now. Same one. Do I need a separate yaml ? Can you have two yaml's ?

Idky the brackets are green

Edit
Ahh I forgot the 1939
