I am in the midst of updating all three of these titles. I want to get them off to John before the end of the year or shortly into 2008.
If you want to see what will be in the update please respond here. I will then send you the files and you can try them out in a COPY of the game. I wont send you any of the corrected map files that needed to be coded in the engine first as you wont be able to open up the scenarios that use them. Submaps are ok (such as for the updated Hunt for Davout file).
Here are some of the fixes:
1. Eckmuhl
a. OBs had duplicate division names. Other fixes as well.
b. Updated Hunt for Davout to have a larger map and include troops just to the south boardedge. Wrede's division now starts on the map (in the south). Crown Prince shows up sooner with a portion of Deroi right behind him. Result: the Austrians dont win the race for Abensberg.
c. Added in pioneers for those scenarios where they are needed. May have missed one or two files. Still checking. Also found that the Eckmuhl in One Battle campaign scenarios had incorrect French reinforcement times.
d. Teugn-Hausen scenario needed a small fix.
2. Wagram
a. Ebelsberg scenario was updated.
b. OB errors were corrected. Again some divisions had duplicate names.
c. Still working on this one. Looking for other things that might need fixing.
3. Jena
a. Added in scenarios and PDT files that use a 15 minute move. Mainly the long Jena big map scenarios. Will eventually have 15 min versions for all of the scenarios you see in the Scenario Dialog when you open the Battle Engine.
b. Corrected terrain errors on big Jena map.
c. Updated Altenzaum scenarios.
d. Corrected range for Prussian 6lb gun (to be less).
e. Corrected release times for Prussians in the big battles for the Historical scenario. Have to redo the release times for the other big map Jena scenarios as well.
f. Added in Prussian pioneers in some instances.
For the next Jena update:
a. Will offer a OB file that has cavalry in regiments as well as PDT file that supports this as well as versions of all of the scenarios you see in the Scenario Dialog (those in the main game directory).
b. Will offer a campaign file that bypasses the first big scenario. Will assume that the Prussians fell back away from Jena towards the Russians.
c. Other corrections as needed.
Again, if you are interested in looking at the files let me know. I can send them to you this week for your review. I may have missed something in my lists - dont consider them all encompassing.
Note: to make a copy of the game for testing out files:
1. Install the game if you havent already.
If you have done this move on ..
2. Install the latest update.
3. Copy the entire game directory structure to another location on your hard drive.
4. Unzip the files from the zips you receive from me.
I am already hearing nice comments about the larger Hunt for Davout map. Its not THAT much bigger but it includes more map area to the south and an Austrian (Thierry from 3rd Korps) and French formation (half of Deroi's division) that I had left out.
Looking forward to getting these off of my work list ...;)
