Re: Game stuck in Search & Seizure

Is that option on? It has not been coded. If it is on, it is possible to turn it off by editing the file. When you examine which save to initially open, the red box on the right states the phase of the turn that the saved game is in, so that should also be in the game file and be editable, but I hav...

Re: Convoys creation through merging - V7.0.0.0

First off make a back-up copy of the game file. Then open the file with a text editor. (I use Notepad.) First line is version number which may be followed by "(Debug)" then a comma then a zero, another comma then a 3. To change from AIO mode to solitaire substitute a a zero for the 3. Save...

Re: Convoys creation through merging - V7.0.0.0

What's worked for me in some of these instances is to edit the game file to convert it to solitaire, finish what's needed and then convert it back to AI.

Re: Supply unit activation during enemy action

I don't think this can be done without editing the file before and after. Possibly the debug version could do it.

Re: New 07.00.00.00 Public Beta Update Available Now!

The zip file does do an update to an existing install, rather than being a complete reinstall. I don't recall seeing the active control dialog before this but otherwise the game seems to be running normally now using version 7.0.0.

No there's a separate version the beta testers have access to. This one does not include the AI option.

There is an AI set that comes with. Not sure it is the standard set. It does use Variable Re-org, which to my tastes should not be considered "standard".

Another month gone. Is there any news? Does Steve have any deadlines to meet or is it just an open ended contract to finish whenever? Perhaps he could use some help from a an experienced AI programmer? Does MG have any expectations? Will it be this summer, this year, 2025, etc. The beta tester FTP ...

Re: Saved game not opening

That's for sure. The unit descriptions could have been put in an installation file and referenced by the program somehow.

Not sure why that choice was made, but more than likely people would zip the game files for transmission anyway so it does not make a lot of difference.

Downloaded the file and tried to open it with the latest version of MWIF. It looked like it was almost finished and then the program just quit and disappeared. MWIF.exe had terminated without a bug report and was no longer loaded according to the task manager. Looking at the file in notepad, I can s...

Re: SOLVED 5.0.0.1 Strange combat calculation

"immediately before" are the key words here. You can't have a ratio until it has been calculated, by which time the rounding has already happened, as the rule states.

Re: slow server?

There were three blocks of street lights not operating on a main drag in my city. Everyone complained about it. Finally someone actually reported it to 311. A couple days later they were working again.

Is there a moral to this story?

Re: '43 US carriers

You can have them ready to go in Pearl the same turn they arrive. Take a naval, sail them to Pearl and re-org with Nimitz and a few of those 3-3 TRS's (even 3-2s you shouldn't have scrapped). Depending on their range and captured major ports, maybe they'll be even further west. Actually by this poin...

Re: Help! Which version to use..Naval Regression Error

I had an experience in a game where the naval digression due to an interception combat abort froze the game. Eventually we decided to go back to naval moves and just not do the interception.That way at least we could keep the game going. Just assume the interceptors didn't find their prey.
