■ Release Notes ■
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE:
* This patch will update any older versions of the game.
As such, no previous patches are required.
Observe the previous releases:
06-22-2005 War.In.The.Pacific.v1.60.Update-MYTH
04-28-2005 War.In.The.Pacific.v1.50.Update-PWZ
08-24-2004 War.In.The.Pacific.1.21.Update-PWZ
It would appear that each patch is incremental, meaning you need all the
previous ones installed to use the latest one. Our 1.80 release, at only
65 Megs in size, will update any older versions of the game.
This method seems to be the best choice, to avoid forcing users to find
all previous Updates to install in order from oldest to newest.
Finally:
The original Patch does a Serial Number check before it will install the
Update. Since the scene releases of the game do not contain any *REAL*
*VALID* Serial Numbers, our release is needed for both ISO and RIP users.
-END NOTE
Update Info:
------------
Please Note: Old save files (v1.40 and v1.50) will load with the updated
version. However, if playing PBEM, once one player has loaded the game using
the patch, the player to follow must also play the game using the patch. Not
all fixes work in games that continue from old saves, as some fixes depend on
data changes that require a new game to take effect. Some data changes from
v1.60 can be transferred to old save files by using the procedure listed below
in the v1.60 data change notes.
Note that the v1.8 production release includes all v1.7x Beta releases as well
as the following changes:
1) Blocks of active leaders have their values "zero'ed". Fixed.
2) Historical pilots are being drawn too early. Fixed.
3) LCU fragments are disappearing if the parent unit dies due to
disruption/fatigue rather than combat. Fixed.
4) Bangkok (and other bases) reverts to wrong HQ if captured by Allies
against Japan AI. Fixed.
5) 1945 USN CV air group restructure not working since patch v1.4. Fixed.
6) Wrong weapon list shows for automatic upgrade of air group on arrival
from reinforcement schedule (occurs from earliest version v1.3). Fixed.
7) No Japanese Militia units show up in 1945. [Appear in save file but
with delay=19999]. Fixed.
8) Reduce air/sub spotting reports to the screen, to max of one per sub,
but put all reports in the text file. Fixed.
9) Air-Transport causing vanishing LCU's. Fixed.
10) Beginning and Ending Assault values for each side. Added.
11) Prevent respawn of Japanese ships into allied ship area. Fixed.
12) Enable carriers with capacity > 99. Added
13) Enable single squadron carrier airgroup. Added.
14) Adjust British carriers with 2 fighter groups. Added
15) Literal changes ("Home Base to Home Port" on Task Force Screen _ on
sunk ship list "Unknown" to "Scuttled" ). Fixed.
16) Place aircraft removed by group resizing into pool instead of trash
heap. Fixed.
17) Retreating LCU will now abandon static devices. Fixed.
18) Prevent British[Commonwealth] Brigades ( i.e. regimental sized ) units
from dividing. Added.
19) Teleporting 8 IJA Arty Bde. Fixed.
20) 33rd IJA ID disappearing when trying to move from Moulmein. Fixed.
21) Fix ShipsAvailable CTD. Fixed.
22) Inactive VBF Squadrons (ex VS Squadrons) not moving to re-spawn carrier
with rest of airgroup when original carrier is sunk. Fixed.
23) Uneven pilot distribution during air group divide. Fixed.
24) Suppress on-screen display of pilot kills (still written to log).
Fixed.
25) Prevent deletion of pilots and leaders whose names begin with a lower
case letter. Fixed.
26) Mouseover on LCU icon shows ENG with AvSupport as V0 if no engineers
are present. Fixed.
27) Fix the problem where having computer control on in one zone causes
TF's to have their ships stolen in another zone. Fixed.
28) Prevent teleportation of supply in some cases where parent/fragment
were exchanged. Fixed.
29) Internal pilot/group list size expanded from 256 to 512 to prevent
disappearing pilots due to pilot/group list overflow. Fixed.
30) Prevent ships in organized task forces scuttling when base captured.
Fixed.
11/19/2005 v1.795 Beta
Bugs Fixed:
1) Some modified saved games were not able to load with new pilot
routines. Fixed.
2) Added message, "PILOT COULD NOT BE ASSIGNED TO GROUP!", in case pilot
could not be created or assigned, when "Get Pilot" is clicked. Done.
3) Sometimes, when land units were transported by air, the vanished.
Fixed.
4) Added message, "NO PILOTS AVAILABLE", in case game maximum pilots has
been reached, in case pilot could not be created or assigned, when
"Get Pilot" is clicked. Should no longer crash. Done.
5) Bullet proofed against crash to desk top, when maximum pilots has been
reached and artificial intelligence requests a pilot. Done.
6) Modified routine that returns pilots to active duty, to allow slightly
wounded pilots to fly, when game approaches maximum pilots. These
pilots are assigned a hefty fatigue penalty. Done.
7) Reworked air search routines. Altitude is now more important than
before. For best results, stay at or below 6,000 feet.
8) Submarines now have a chance to reduce the effects of air searches.
If the skipper of the submarine makes a successful naval skill check,
the air searcher gains less information about submarine location and
type. In addition, the skipper may avoid an air attack. In this case,
no anti-aircraft check is made and no bombing/depth charge attack is
made. Instead, a message is posted, concerning the suspected submarine
location.
9) Heavy bombers may now fire more of there guns than before. Done.
10) Air search at low altitudes is now a little better. Done.
11) When the game runs low on leaders, it will now clear out more dead
leaders (this fixes the save sent by Michael M.). Done.
12) No pilot slots left, no pilots in this group, but pilots in other
groups of same nationality that you can steal not working properly.
Fixed.
13) Fixed broken linked list causing get pilot routine to fail.
14) Raised leader clearing triggers.
15) Land unit fragments can no longer be set by move all or follow all
commands, to avoid disappearing unit issues, particularly when
fragments still unloading from transports are included in a "follow"
order.
10/28/2005 v1.77 Beta
Bugs Fixed:
1) Increased number of missions Allied pilots must fly, before they are
rotated. Also, added test to rotation routine, which prevents
rotation, if almost out of pilot slots.
2) Pilots are no longer withdrawn from air group fragments.
3) Pilots are no longer withdrawn from air group sub-units.
4) Mission count is rest to zero, when pilot returns.
5) Withdrawn Allied pilots no longer return (1 to 3 years later), after
rotation out of theatre. They are now removed from data-base, freeing
up pilot space. Note they will no longer show up on top pilot [active]
list.
10/20/2005 v1.73 Beta
Bugs Fixed:
1) Routine that gathers air group fragments located at enemy bases now
sends them to the first of the four main bases listed in the scenario
that has a value greater than zero (defined in the campaign editor) and
is in friendly hands. If none of these apply, it sends them to Osaka
or San Francisco if in friendly hands and delays entry if none of the
above applies.
10/17/2005 v1.72 Beta
Bugs Fixed:
1) Allied air group fragments were being transferred to Japanese command
and sent to Osaka, when ever the game was loaded. Fixed.
2) Sometimes Allied or Japanese air group fragments would appear at enemy
bases. Fixed.
10/14/2005 v1.70 Beta
Bugs Fixed:
1) Sometimes a group would not fly, if there were more planes than
pilots. Fixed.
2) Sometimes, in a human vs. computer game, when a base is captured, the
base unit TOE increases for no apparent reason. Fixed.
3) Sometimes air group fragments were being formed under enemy control.
Should no longer happen for groups which divide after patch 1.0655
applied. Bullet proofing for earlier errors has been written. If
fragments are found under control of wrong player, the player side is
now changed and fragment is sent to home base.
4) Using the "Get Pilot" button should now select historical pilots with
historical experience, if any are due, within 60 days. The Get Pilot
button was not always working. Fixed.
5) Sometimes, pilot replacements were not appearing because of pilot array
filling up with dead pilots. Fixed.
6) One of the tests for long lance torpedo attacks was some times
returning the wrong value, negating surprise. Fixed.
7) When Allied task force had no radar, Japanese were sometimes said to be
spotted by radar, when they were really being visually spotted. Fixed.
8) Enemy units were showing up on bottom bar, when Japanese player
selected unit at enemy base from list all units pop-out box. Fixed.
9) Game was running out of pilots. Fixed.
10) Rebuilt LCU was reverting to original device number despite being
upgraded when split. Fixed.
11) Negative values were showing on Intel screen because of data overflow.
Fixed.
12) When air group leaders were killed, ship, task force or land unit
leaders sometimes died with them. Fixed.
13) Air groups which had been disbanded or withdrawn were returning with
zero planes, even though planes were being taken from pool for the
group. Fixed. Note that fix only applies to groups disbanded or
withdrawn using version 1.603 or later.
14) A bug was causing ship captains to vanish. Fixed.
15) The 10" CD gun (device #516) was not being produced. Fixed.
16) Land units ordered to follow were not arriving in proper hex at proper
time. Fixed.
17) Allied heavy bombers were using device #210, 2000 lb AP bombs, instead
of device #205, 2000 lb GP bombs. Fixed.
New Player Requested Features:
1) The ability of a submarine to evade an ASW pattern now depends more on
the skill of the submarine skipper.
2) Air groups and air sub-groups may no longer divide or recombine, when
fragments of the group exist.
3) Malaria zones have been slightly modified.
4) Anti-submarine attack routines have been rewritten. Now, seldom will
more than 4 ASW vessels normally attack a submarine during a single
phase (although many may search). Number of attacking ships depends on
task force type, ships types and lots of skill rolls. Instead of each
ship making one or two attacks, they may now sometimes continue to
attack until out of ASW ammunition. Number of attacks made depend on
task force type, ships types and lots of skill rolls. Hits are now
deadly much less often, usually doing a point or two of system damage
and or occasionally a point or so of flood damage.
5) When an air group is divided, it may not reform unless all three
sub-units are assigned to the same headquarters.
6) When an air group is divided into sub-units and each is reassigned to
the same, new headquarters, say Central Pacific to South Pacific, when
the sub-units reform, the parent group headquarters will change to that
new headquarters.
7) When a land unit is divided, it may not reform unless all sub-units are
assigned to the same headquarters.
8) When a land unit is divided into sub-units and each is reassigned to
the same, new headquarters, say Central Pacific to South Pacific, when
the sub-units reform, the parent group headquarters will change to that
new headquarters.
9) Mine laying tenders (MLE) may now service ships of any nationality.
10) Destroyer tenders (AD) may now service ships of any nationality.
11) Submarine tenders (AS) may now ships of any nationality.
12) Repair ships (AR) may now help repair ships of any nationality.
