DCG 3.48 Open Beta Test

[idefix44]

I'm not sure that beta16 is the good value.

Here are the files I downloaded from this topic:

Thanks Lowengrin!

Hi Paul this does include the new files Moezilla and I updated?

[Lowengrin]

I may not have actually posted beta 17... 

 

16 does not have the latest files.

[Lowengrin]

So I did post it:

A new beta is now available with a new data table that allows you to add/customize car columns.

 

The file is carscolumn.dcg.  It defines a few things such as the campaign it will be used in ("Default" is for all campaigns), but you can specify a specific one if you want.  It also defines if it is a "Supply" column, or a "Fuel" column, or an "Artillery" column or a "Troop" column.  Finally, it lists which stationary vehicles/artillery is to be used when it's stationary.

 

For example:

 

[GermanyCarsColumnA] Default/Supply
stationary.Stationary$BikeBMW
artillery.Artillery$SdKfz251
stationary.Stationary$OpelBlitz6700A
stationary.Stationary$OpelBlitz6700A
stationary.Stationary$OpelBlitz6700A
stationary.Stationary$OpelBlitz6700A
stationary.Stationary$OpelBlitz6700A_radio
stationary.Stationary$OpelBlitz6700A_medic
artillery.Artillery$OpelBlitzMaultierAA

 

The new beta is here: http://members.shaw.ca/lowengrin/il2dcg348beta18.zip

 

The types of columns functions are:

 

Supply = Repairs/replaces static objects at the location it's at.

Fuel = Nothing as yet, but it will function to refuel armour at it's location.

Artillery = Will deploy in active combat areas.

Troops = Add extra troop points to the location they're at.

 

 

BTW, if you add columns to this new file, you'll also need to add them to the gunits.dcg and gobjects.dcg.

Awesome! Thanks so much Lowengrin. This is going to make a valuable addition to the ground war.

 

Had a quick look in the carscolumn.dcg file and there are a couple of entries that I'm not sure are intentional:

• GermanyCarsColumnC includes an invalid stationary entry for 4-PzIIF, does DCG catch that and process it?
• There's a double entry for RussiaCarsColumnD which I think should be RussiaCarsColumnE.
• USACarsColumnC might be better suited to be Default/Artillery
• The USArmInf_Cmp entry and the JapaneseCarsColumnB entries include moving vehicles instead of stationary. Could be intentional?
• The JapanCarsColumnA is the command/artillery column but doesn't spawn any artillery units in carscolumn.dcg. Could add artillery.Artillery$Type91_105mm

Really looking forward to testing this one out.

All five points you've brought up are errors.  I threw the data file together pretty quickly. 

 

You might want to tweak the file if you're using any of those.
