Thanks Paul59. Also for your plan to create a British vs Italians skirmish mod. I gues that will be hard with few models available.

This has been solved by Paul59

When selecting Paul59's'North African Britisch v German Skirmish 1.4 mod I get an error message:

"*** Inhandled Exceprion! ExpCode: 0xC0000094 ExpFlags: 0 ExpAddresss: 0x004EDDF8 Please report!

Is there something wrong with the file?

Same here. And I really was looking forward to this.
These skirmish mods from Paul59 made me play BA2 again, as I'm not really into to the Eastern front setting.
Too bad the italians are not it, although they were part of the forces Rommel'had in North Africa.

Well I will probably have to use a scenariotemplate.bsf file anyway. I want the AI's cavalry to make a flanking move,i.e. first get passed the players line and then move sideways to get behind the players line. So the AI has to move first to a target AI point and from there to another one. Cannot do...

Hi Richard, I see. Is there maybe something that can reduce the chance the pike units follow any unit, e.g. a skirmishers unit that is evading? I'm thinking of a very well disciplined pike unit that does not easily forgets its orders to stay in line. Maybe something in the squads file? Although I wo...

Thanks Richard for your reply. Unfortunately removing the 4, i.e. using aggression 898, does not help. The pike units that were not blocked by a skirmisher unit did move towards them. So their line was totally disrupted in their first turn already. Agression898.jpg Do you maybe have something else I...

Hi I thought I more or less understood the AI settings of the game. However I encountered this week something I do not understand. In an epic battle I'm creating I want a line of Heavy Foot to advance to a certain point without being distracted too much by skirmishers that may be in their path. So I...

Hi Richard, Sorry it was just a stupid mistake on my side. I had no BSF file in the folder for my test scenario. Once I had copied SCENARIOTEMPLATE.BSF over and renamed it Test.bsf the scenario did use my adapted version of Callbacks.bsf. Not that I really need this. I reverted back to the vanilla n...

Hi TimDee58 My assumption turned out to be correct. The vanilla formation for mancount = 12 seems to be intended for less strict organized units according to (only initial formation displayed) if (manCount == 12) { if ((IsUnitSquadType(me, "Warriors") == 1) || (IsUnitSquadType(me, "Mo...

Hi Richard, I have tried my alternative version of callbacks.bsf in a test scenario, i.e. in ...\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\CAMPAIGNS\TEST\Data\Battle\Scripts. Unfortunately this did not work. Formation for mancount=5 was still displayed as --x-- x-x-x --x-- Only when I placed my alternative version in ...

Hi Tim, As I already told you in a private message what you see is the default behavior of FOG2 as formations have only been defined for 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 figures per unit. These are defined in FUNCTION FORMATION_CALLBACK in callbacks.bsf that is located in ...\Field of Glory II\Data\Battle\Scripts...

Hi Richard, Sorry I should have mentioned. And now I understand that when trying to find the cause I noticed my CAMPAIGN.txt file always stated SIDE0 38 and SIDE1 32, but the (epic) battles played with me controlling the correct side. Checked the BAM files and they indeed correctly state the sides I...

Hi Richard You mean the CAMPAIGN.txt? This is the first battle once for every side [Baetis_River_80BC_S] SIDE0 38 SIDE1 32 DATE 2920 // All dates start from 3000 BC MAPX 170 // Pixel x location of battle in EpicMap_Ptolemy.dds MAPY 695 // Pixel y location of battle in EpicMap_Ptolemy.dds [Baetis_Riv...

I have picked up the epic battles I'm trying to create. To my surprise the colors and banners for all my battles I had created to play from the opposite side have changed. My initial battles are Spanish vs Roman i.e CAMPAIGN.txt SIDE0 38 SIDE1 32 I had only used the default settings of the game and ...

Thanks again Paul59

I don't know what I would have done without all your help.

Now I can concentrate again on trying to get the AI making proper movements during its first moves, with some alternatives to use at random.

Thanks Paul59 Stupid me. I did not check your other guide about reinforcements anymore, and I also had missed your text ... and clicked on the units to add them to the reinforcement group ... I assumed that as the units had already been assigned to the group that I wanted to appear as reinforcements...

I'm still strugling with the AI code for the epic battles I'm creating. The AI does not always seems to do what my MoveTeamCoord function calls says it should. To have a break with this I have tried to include the reinforcements for one of these epic battles. Unfortunately the created file REINFORCE...

Thanks Richard, that was exactly what I needed.

Thanks Richard. I have now solved 1 and 2. For 3 I believe I will have script it. When using IDS_SCENUI_VC_STANDARD in my text1.txt file the updated condition I believe it will be displayed for all other battles as well, as they all use the same file. Or can you have different text1.txt files for th...
