You campaign and mod experts - yes, you know who you are - can you explain to me what a mask.tga file is used for? The funny thing is, I never paid any attention to them in DLC campaign folders; overlooked them entirely. Reason was, perhaps, that they were so high-tech that only the gods of OOB woul...

Heh, the funny thing is, if the Creator (of the game, not the universe) were to come here and say "Knock it off, you guys. I made no changes here recently," the thread would have been much shorter. :) Actually I didn't think it was a deliberate change made, but an after-effect of the popu...

I have played Pearl Harbor (U.S. side) at least four times now and I have never thought of using activated AA guns to wake up other AA guns on their way to the harbor. Never. (Can planes land on a heretofore neutral airfield and "claim" it? I think not.) What a revelation! And I don't cons...

It's cool, Gabe. Cool as in fun and as in CoolDTA. Thanks to you both for a bit of diversion and clarification. Heh, the funny thing is, if the Creator (of the game, not the universe) were to come here and say "Knock it off, you guys. I made no changes here recently," the thread would have...

Ahhh. More Desert Rats. Come to poppa, my darlings.

As Shards once said to me when I asked him a tough question, "It's complicated."

I had another user reporting an issue where his Aux Engineer "disappeared" during this map and so was unable to repair the bridges? Anything in the triggers that might cause that Bru? I cannot see anything wrong in this regard. I looked at the bridge triggers and they seemed fine. Then I ...

The "Event: Batavia Truck Spawn" trigger is another story but that happens after turn 6 and is spread out over several turns. If you are following this so far, you may be interested in this one last point. So, if you take Batavia in 10 turns, you get two prizes: The "Braat" and ...

Wasn't the reward for capturing Batavia quickly the little Dutch recon/AA vehicle? Bingo, Duplex. Good memory. But still not an indicator of any changes to this scenario, I don't think. You're remembering this one, I believe: Screenshot 6.jpg But it's part of the same trigger for taking Batavia in ...

I love it when the devs is asking Bru for some trigger CSI time :D Bru should get a suitable CSI avatar. For those who are unaware, "CSI" in this context stands for "Campaign and Scenario Investigator." :) Hey, it's something I enjoy doing and when you say "devs" you r...

How could I have missed THREE trucks spawning right in front of me??? Do you remember it to be like that the last time you played this mission? I'm not sure. We both may not be remembering it from the previous time(s) that we played this scenario because the player has to take Batavia in 10 turns t...

Has anybody noticed in Sandstorm that planes cannot fly over desert escarpments? No, not the case. This plane has no problem flying over this barrier of escarpments: Screenshot 2.jpg $matches[2] Still, the omission of "wall" from chassis.csv may have something to do with the problem of th...

This is not fixed in 6.1.8: $matches[2] This may be a clue. I assume a value of 1 in chassis. txt means a "WING" unit can fly over all of these terrain types. WING is the only chassis type that has a value of 1 for "wall" in chassis.txt (scroll down): $matches[2] There is also a ...

Drive hard and fast. Obey no speed limits.

It's a quirk. What they are trying to do is to allow you to kill the allied troops while they are still at sea. In that state, they are technically transport ships but they still are considered ground units for this purpose. It just so happens that the supply ship is the same Transport (Naval) clas...

Hey, all! Quick question on Norway, and to see if I've hit a bug. Captured every city between Oslo and Trondheim (to connect them as a supply line), and still get a defeat every time. I've did it three times, and have 3 defeats, although all other objectives have been completed. So, how in the heck...

I just played it w/new v6.1.8 patch, Allied units killed trigger now works but as GabeKnight stated, I also killed the supply ship and it counted as a ground unit, surprised me :shock: ........ It's a quirk. What they are trying to do is to allow you to kill the allied troops while they are still a...

Gabe, I think that is by design. It's this trigger here: $matches[2] One of the primary objectives is to destroy 10 cargo trucks. There's only 17 on the map to begin with and they all start skedaddling for the exit sooner or later. What I think these spawned trucks are is your reward for the seconda...

Thus we have a glimpse of how this is not an easy process. Please stop bashing your head, though. We need it intact.

This is the definition of the core for GGC as shown in the campaign editor; it includes Germany, Waffen SS, Kriegsmarine, and Italy: $matches[2] Any units acquired for those four factions can be part of the core that is carried forward from scenario to scenario. As we found out recently, those facti...
