Question \ Drills file:

Post by Davinci »

Does anybody know how to prevent units from stacking on top of each other at the start of a game?

I have three Brigades that spawn at the exact location every game, I would like them to spread-out better.

I can't figure this out, but I know that it is a setting in the drills file.

Thanks,

davinci

DaV,

Interesting you should bring this up. I've noticed this with units farther down the line in the Division. Usually it's a Cavalry unit when there are two or more of them.
Would be interesting to know.

Correct, I'm having a problem with the last three-brigades [/b] stacking on top of each other in both Divisions.

That, along with you having the same problem would indicate that there must be a limit on the number of units that can be assigned to a division.

But, I thought that the limit was sixteen , and I'm below that!

Are you talking about the problem where brigades from adjoining divisions overlap at the start of the sandbox game? If so, a possible solution would be to create a corps line formation and replace this line in defines.ini: MainFormation=DRIL_Lvl4_Inf_Line with the name of the new corps formation. That may fix the problem. There is already a corps line formation in the drills.csv in the Couriers&Maps mod. You could give that a quick test. It might also screw up the the initial placement of the divisions when they are initially placed in the map corners.
I can make this march and I will make Georgia howl.

No, the problem is not with another Division - this is a picture of both divisions forming a separate line at the start of a game.

Well, forget about the picture, the forum will not allow me to add an attachment.

But, the three-stacking-brigades are in the same division.

I have that problem too - RB tracked it down, it's a firefox issue. Chrome or IE still work fine.

OK, Thanks - let me see if I can find out which setting in the FireFox that prevents this!

Will Do - I have just done a google search - but that didn't turn out too well.....I'm sure that it is just a setting in the browser-options.....Just have to figure out which setting.

Here is a picture of two divisions at the start of game.

DaV,

I thought the limit was 10. Wow. Good to know.
