Battle of Midway Questions

Version 0.6 up
JSGME ready (which is good since I think it'll need to come and go a lot).

A few internal date changes to make it work (one group was not timed right).

None of the the files work for me. I get a CTD on the please wait screen. I've tried both 0.5 and 0.6. I checked multiple times, and the only time it worked was when I didn't have it enabled.

Are you running from a save game in a career, Shyzar? That would CTD this for sure cause it won't match the save state.

My mod would only work for a new career. For you career in progress there is nothing to do. If you went to port (Hawaii), you'd come out for the next patrol after the battle was over.

In the stock game, the forces are set to leave home in january, and the mission is set to start in june. Result? No midway.

BTW, I will up a quick mod later that you can add on top of this. It will change the campaign.cfg to allow this layer in a single mission, and also include a single mission placing your sub right in the path of the Nagumo force. This will allow easy testing of it (or massive sinkings

).

Although I haven't loaded this mod yet, and I truly hope with this upcoming patch, or the next patch, if there ever is a 1.4 . . . that they will fix the "stock" historical overlays . . . we greatly, as a community, appretiate all the effort you have taken to make our game play that much more enjoyable.

I'd be surprised if the patch (any patch) touches them at all, frankly. They have som many real problems to fix, and the missions... well in terms of the campaign we have the "SDK" for that, it's the mission editor. Actually, with Mcoca's Automated Editor, we actually have more tools than the devs do.

The only Dev work that would really help the historical missions (IMO) would be to improve the AI. Since they can't fight realistic surface engagements, it makes historical overlay battles pretty unsatisfying.

Will we need to create a new mod to fix every noticable naval battle . . . and the ones that are completely absent . . . or are there plans to create one massive mod?
