Known errors In SPWAW Enhanced DV

Post by Alby »

These are the errors found so far in Enhanced DV (and DVRN)...We have posted instructions on how to "correct" them yourself, using the spwaw OOB editor....someday if we get enough, we may post an "official" patch.
maybe if we reach 100.
We are posting this for your benefit if you wanna fixx things on your own.
[:)]


Here's what wrong and what to do to fix it.

1. Czech OOB: Captured Russian tanks missing their MGs. Need weapons #171 and #129 from Soviet OOB, copied to Czech weapon list.
2. Both Spains still using Spanish language in DVRN version. Needs translated back to English. not necessary though
3. USA OOB: Unit #34 is missing the "f" in "Rifle Sqd".
4. Adding the 'EN" on the end of German units is not correct. I.E."Jaegeren" change to "Jaegers".
5. Finland OOB: T34 m42 using different gun as opposed to same tank in Soviet OOB. Should be using weapon #67 - 76.2mm F34/L41 gun.
6. Netherlands OOB: CTLS-4TAY tank, needs these stats:
Speed - 26
Size - 2
Radio - 32
Survive - 1
Carry - 4
Weight - 226
ROF - 9
RgF - 2
FC - 4
Cost - 30
7. Germany: The FlaK18 AT version of the '88' somehow got classed as Heavy Flak, so it isn't showing up in the AT gun formations. Needs reclassed to "AT GUN".
8. India OOB: Mech Recce Trp formation - most of the assigned units are "missing" need a '1' put in where is now '0' in formation menu.
9. M3 SMG using rifle sound, plus stats were different in Yugoslavia than they were in USA. Yugoslav needs stats changed to USA stats, sound file assigned to #408 in both OOBs.
10. USA OOB: Ranger AT Sec date did not match unit date. Also Rifle Sqd #135 date does not match date of M1 Bazooka; this unit carries one. Needs date changed to Oct 42 in both cases.
11. German OOB: Cost of SP guns (units 62, 63, and 65 only) needs increased, they are too cheap. Doubling them is suggested.
12. German OOB: Rarity code of sIG auf PzII needs changed to 2 instead of 1.
13. German OOB: Cavalry formation does not match dates of Cavalry units, formation date of Jan 1930. Unit has date of Sept 39. Unit date needs changed to Jan 1930.
14. Nat Spain OOB: Unit #108 has an MG42 LMG in 1936, needs changed to MG34.
15. German OOB: MMG formations start date did not match unit date, unit date is Sept 34, formation is Sept 38, formation date needs changed to match unit #172. (Sept 34) This also kept them from showing up in Infantry 'Company' formations. SS MMG formation also wrong date, should be Aug 38, SS MMG unit with MG34 should also be Aug 38.(#174)
16. Italian OOB: Unit #204 Askari Squadra has Grenades and LMG in opposite weapon slots of what they should be.
17. Nat Spain OOB: IT Destroyer (#211) uses wrong Icon. Change from Icon241 to Icon640.
18. German OOB: Barge Carrier uses wrong Icon. Switch from Icon546 to Icon756. 546 is an Allied truck icon
19. Yugoslavia OOB: Unit #84 FT-17M has wrong weapon and name. Should use Wpn #217 37mm SA18 Gun with 80 HE/25 AP. Cost changes to 30.
20. Yugoslavia OOB: Lt Tank Co (#1036) uses wrong subformations. Switch subs #1002 with subs #1035.

ADDED Mar 1:

21. Corrected some Spelling Errors in Italian oob. Platone to Plotone, Alpini Ski Sqd to Alpini Sciatori, Patigiani to Partigiani, Militia to Milizia, Paratroops in DVRN to Paracadutisti (Italian OOB uses Italian names in both versions)
22. The picture for a "Wagon" is wrong in these oobs:
It is showing a tank picture:
both Spains, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Bulgaria, India, and Poland.
Change LMB# to 7044 to use standard wagon picture.

Formation 1043-Bersaglieri Co with Formation 1122-Bersaglieri Gruppo,

Gruppo. This will give more Medium Tanks than Tankettes, which are

HE Kill of 20 for vehicle and 15 for Infantry types. some nations (soviets for one) have 2 types of Vehicle flamethrowers. we made earlier type have 18 HE kill, later type 20 HE Kill.

Another minor typo: USMC OOB, formation 1074: I think the Raider Snipers was set at "0" rather than "1". You may wanna doublecheck the other Raider units/formations.

Alby,
 
There seems to be an error with one of the Canadian airborne sections.  One of the Canadian airborne sections has been given 50 Hawkins rounds as ammunition.
