Cavalry charge fix

Post by Jack ONeill »

The attachment drills.csv is no longer available
All,

Thanks to Gunships perserverence, I have found and fixed the Cavalry vs. Artillery charge bug. Gunship gave me the idea, I just hunted it down. Here's the file. Contains the Infantry vs. Artillery fix also. NOTE - Cav still must be in line to charge.

Jack, so cav charge unlimbered artillery? What in the drills did you change? If it works i'll update the download.

Edit: Ok, so i deleted the "CantCharge = 1" from the Cav line formation and now they will charge artillery. Good spot.

Sir if I can ask a simple favor please. Would it be possible if you could release individual patches as well of any fixes, patches for your conversion?

I can only speak for myself on this but to download the massive file every time would just end up killing me since it would take between 8 to 9 hours of download time.

No harm in asking...
Jack, thanks for the fix sir.
Cheers.

Gunship and Mike,

Gun - yes, row 18 under Cav Lvl6. Changed from 1 to 0. worked for all. Thank you.

Mike, don't do the whole thing. Just D/L the relevant files as posted. MUCH faster. ;)

That's what I am hoping for Jack that gunship24 would post the patches instead of having to download a whole new copy of the conversion. Personally I would rather take a beating from 15 angry monkeys than have to download that file again...it's gets painful after 5 hours... :)

Hi Jack,

are you sure that the file you posted is right? I downloaded it, but cavalry has the same behaviour, do not charge unlimbered artillery...

Cheers

Beef,

Yes, Cav must be in line formation to charge. That was a fix in the ACW side of the game to counter some MP column charging situations. It carried over to the Cavalry there, so it is also here on the Napoleonic side.

I don't know what is wrong with my napoleonic mod, but in the picture you see what happens to me: cavalry is in line, it's near an enemy battery, but does not charge the enemy

my version of the game is SOWGB1.3010
