Mega New Elk WIP

@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

@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

@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

[beelee]

@Black_Elk do you remeber how to move the names ? I want to center S Austria under the PU

I guess I could move the PU Bavaria needs to tidy up too

[beelee]

Uggh this is becoming almost unusable. I'm spending as much time restarting the machine as I am working. Wasn't this bad yesterday.

I'll see if I can boost my memory. I'm pretty sure it's maxed out.

[beelee]

Well, unfortunately, it's still freezing up for me. Mega Elk is the only map in downloadedMaps now. I guess I'll set vmoptions back to 1250 and see what happens.

Sadly, I'm not gonna be able to work on this map if I can't solve this problem.
