Fall Weiss II - WIE 14.0 - (Ready for Download)

[DarkHorse2]

This is a complete dependency mapping of all files.

There are some caveats I need to explain.

DECISION IDs use numbers 1-1100. However, the other, non-decision script events do not have DECISION IDs.

I had to generate these as processing the files. These are important as they are used as NODE IDs for the graphing.

I used IDs beginning at 1200 to ensure they did not conflict with the pre-existing DECISION IDs.

On review, you may see the following:

Code: Select all

 204 [label="DECISION:204\nDE 204 - France: Send an Anglo-French Expedition to Support Finland? "]
    205 [label="DECISION:205\nDE 205 - France – Send An Expedition To Narvik? "]
    212 [label=""]
    250 [label="DECISION:250\nDE 250 - France: Allies Liberate Paris Helper (100%)"]
    251 [label="DECISION:251\nDE 251 - France: Allies Return St. Nazaire To French Control (100%)"]

The 212 without a label here indicates that somebody (in some file) is referencing DECISION 212, but it does not exist.

That would be via #LINK= 212

There are more like that where non-existent DECISIONs are being referenced.

It will also show up in the graph (which is too large to post here)

[DarkHorse2]

Here is a place where a non-existent DECISION is being referenced.

FYI - this is the list of unreferenced DECISIONS, across any file.

This may (or may not) be an issue. Some things can be done solely in decisions.txt, like deducting MPPs, I think. If that is all they are doing, then they may not need additional references to them....

These are just end of turn 1 mobilization events linked to a sure fire end of turn DE. Again practically functioning but if your reviewing the scripts from a Logic sequencing point of view prob frustrating.

This is a link to the tool I used to generated the graph outputs from the "GraphVis" files.

https://graphviz.org/

Basically, it can generate graphs from a text file that uses the DOT language.

DOT Language

What my code does is parse all of the event text file scripts and builds a dependency graph data-structure, using a directed acyclic graph implementation.

Directed Acyclic Graph

From there, I dump the content of the DAG (directed acyclic graph) to a text file describing the graph in the DOT language.

From that, you can use GraphVis to generate the graphs via the command line as follows:

Code: Select all

> dot -Tpng Decision.gv -o Decision.png

Also see: Command Line

Here is a link that allows you to play with DOT files online.

Graphviz Online

Also, there are GraphViz extensions for Visual Studio code that allow you to open the the graphViz text file and generate graph previews from it, while editing it.

FYI - The Strategic Command event text files use BOM encoding. (UTF-8-BOM)

Byte Order Mark

GraphViz does not understand BOM, so the GraphViz text files will need to use a non-BOM text format.

In my case, I used UTF-8, which GraphViz had no problem with. This can be done as follows:

Code: Select all

tofstream& OpenUnicodeOutFileStream(const TCHAR* szFilename, tofstream& tof)
{
    tof.open(szFilename, std::ios::out | std::ios::binary);

#if defined(UNICODE) || defined(_UNICODE)
    tof.imbue(std::locale (tof.getloc(),
        new std::codecvt_utf8_utf16<wchar_t, 0x10FFFF, std::consume_header>));
#endif

    return tof;
}

FYI - It appears that you are reusing DECISION numbers in various decision events.

I am not sure if it was intentional or by accident, but I am doubtful it will work as intended.

I have a listing of the duplicates below.

The manual is not clear on rather it is allowed. All I can say is that they don't reuse DECISION numbers in the '39 Storm over Europe campaign and if it was really intended, then why limit you to only 1100 decision numbers?

I highly suspect they have 1100 "slots" allocated and when a script reuses a DECISION number, it over-writes that slot with the current decision script - only effectively using the last one read in.
(I don't know this 100%, but highly suspect this is the way it works)

I wrote an algorithm to parse and sort the decisions.txt file and save as UTF-8-BOM.

I really got tired of trying to find whatever I am looking for....

Anyways, is this going to cause a problem I may not be aware?

There is actually a 9.1 version that I have downloaded. Which is the better one 7.3 or 9.1? just curious, making ready to play a game with a friend.

[crispy131313]

Fall Weiss 9.1 is better than 7.3

I would recommend the 11.0 which is even more up to date.

I just finished 9.1 & it was a massive improvement from 7.3.
I didn't realize there was a 11.0 version I'll give it a go when I finish my Total Realism Project game

[Duedman]

hi there, I was about to start a playthrough and noticed that my tanks seem to miss an action point.
I played this before and tanks with mobility had 7AP. Now they have 6.
Likewise without mobility they have only 5.

The higher maneuverability was one of the things I liked the most.
Am I missing something? Or is this intentional?

[DarkHorse2]

Crispy,

FYI -

I think the "Operation Countenance" Decision-line is, at least, partially broken in "Fall Weiss II - WIE 11 Beta".

Working on unraveling/fixing on my end. I added the "(Axis)" "(Allied)" labels in the names to help identify / track it down.

I don’t think it’s broken since it’s fired for myself and everyone and has never been reported.

You may be thinking of the tank division that had different mobility? I don’t recall changing this.

Just because nobody else has reported it doesn't mean anything. You could easily play the entire campaign and never notice it was not all there.

From my end, it does not look like it was fully implemented.

You need at least the following (x2: x1 for Allied Persia, x1 for Axis Persia)

---

Decision.txt:
UK: Operation Countenance: Call on the USSR to join us in Invading Persia?
USSR: Operation Countenance: Join with the UK in Invading Persia? (one of these is mislinked)
UK: Dummy Event to deduct 50 MPPs <this is missing for one case>
USSR: Dummy Event to deduct 50 MPPs <this is missing for both cases>

surrender_2.txt: (FW only has 1 of the 2 needed)
British And Soviet Forces Launch Operation Countenance - Persia Surrenders

territory.txt: (FW only has 1 of the 2 needed)
Operation Countenance - The UK Gains Southern Persia

I am doing a side-by-side comparison against 1939 SOE and can easily see that it is not fully implemented in FW.

[DarkHorse2]

You have duplicated #DECISION= 155. One of them misnamed.

One is linked to 981, other is 403.
#DECISION= 981 does not exist

Nothing to deduct any MPPs from USSR. (my bad... I found this now)

... and this is without even looking beyond decision.txt.

I will tell you how I am going to fix it. One issue you are having is a dependency list of (4 to 5 nodes) x2.

Managing that is difficult without having a continguous block of free DEs to work in.

There is a free block of DE's from DE 311 thru DE 349. (see below)

I am moving these chains to that block of DEs to sort this mess out.

[DarkHorse2]

Crispy,

Reviewing potential (unintended) duplicates from merging 1939 SOE fixes / changes.

Came across the following (in your original event files)...

see - national_morale.txt

I doubt anybody has reported this, but it appears your are hitting Germany twice with Fall Blau morale penalties here.
