[REL] Open Horizons II

[adrians69]

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you expert modders could help me out. I do not want to start a new campaign yet and am playing OH2.2. I was interested to see that the ships speeds have been fixed in 2.3 and was wondering if you could tell me which files I would have to change to apply just this fix.

Thanks

Quick update:

The Yak-1 entered service on late 1940 - early 41
MiG-3: entered service on April 1941
La-7: entered service on mid-September 1944
DB-3: in service since 1936
KOR-1: introduced on 1938, retired 1942
MBR-2: in service since 1935

More to come

Great Gap - I will cross check with the bases and set to date

Just an idea for immersion and better area designation: could you specify the patrol grid in therms of MQK quadrants?

Yes - I would really like to do this - the problem is the time it will take me.
I have to convert each coordination from 0meters in the game system - to lat/long and then key into an online convertor - then re-enter into the script.

So - all in all this is months of work - unless some one can write a converter app to switch game meter position to quadrants.
Then an app to re-write the codes.

On that topic - I am not sure how Serge is changing the text required for the patrol missions - I looked at doing this with notepad++ but gave in.
perhaps he has written an app

Should we fail collecting such a detailed information, the plan B would be choosing some arbitrary airfields based on their vicinity to u-boat patrol areas, and giving them a random assortment of planes, based on aircraft availability data.

I am open to suggestions as to how many and where they should be.
I am starting to think that I will add them as a new layer - this way we can build on the and add more countries as we have time (removing old entries).
This will then - through time replace the air layer with a common one.
Not having the layer as common was an error in an early version of OHII

ooooh - this is the traffic.mis (not common) for each campaign - single ships
convoy.mis for convoys.

Both are very large files with many changes needed to change the ships speed.
Like this example:-

Good idea!

Replacing the old generic airfields with customized ones, each with its own airgroups based on historical aircraft assignations, will be a long process. Nonetheless, attaining this level of detail over time is surely possible at least for Commonwealth, German and (partly) US Air forces, as there is plenty of information on the web and on books about their squadrons, with station/detachment relocations and number/model of aircraft operated at any given time.

The best thing to do here Adrian is to wait until you have finished the campagn stage you are on i.e HappyTimes
Then when you get to the next stage - campaign selection - save your game and install OHIIv2.3+patch#

When a campaign starts a new stage - all .mis files are re-written and the fixes I have already made will take effect

[THE_MASK]

Could diffrent modders in theory have there own mods for the campaign . Say one modder mods a new Russian airbase campaign common layer . Someone else says I will add layer for a new plane I have etc etc . Adding aussie ports and air bases for example .

Yes Sober

All we would need to do is open ANY campaign project (HappyTimes etc)
Select file->add new mission
Name that mission (layer) "Sobers Oz aeroplanes"
Set date as default (1938)

Then add airbases for their area
I can then join them all together (for shared project) or add the layer to OHII if it is something new

[Mikemike47]

Trevally,
Some feedback on IX subs for v2.3 please.

Does VII subs actually have IX sub torpedo loadouts and range and speed capablilities, when starting Monsun Gruppe campaign at La Pallice? (I know we can not simulate the insides for now; maybe someday with all modders and tools available.)

per your update log:
Update 05/08/12
OHII v2.0
Added new boat type IX (stats only) for use in Monsun Gruppe by FromHell

Currently at post #2:
Monsun Gruppe 01/03/43 - 15/06/44
Flotilla 7th
Transfer from La Pallice 02-03-1943
Bases - Penang (03-03-1943 to 01-08-1943) Singapur (02-08-1943 to 01-05-1944)
Transfer to La Pallice 02-05-1944
Stock boat issue - VIIC41

Is IX sub merged into v2.3 completely now, or does "OHII v2.2 - IX Boat - enable when playing MG Campaign" mod have to be added after all other OH mods and still be compatible?

Fromhell's profile and his download section:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3712
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3713
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3452
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3725
Fromhell has other sub mods at his profile.

Congratulations Trevally for modder of the year.

Update: Trevally informed to use the OHII v2.2 - IX Boat - enable when playing MG Campaign mod still when playing OHII v2.3

Maybe enough info on WW2 airbase locations
Maps have locations of airfields .

Now you need a CAC Boomerang.

That is wicked cool Mate!

I do have the CAC Boomerang 3D model nearly done though.
Would that be good enuff for now?
