2/27/2021 New version uploaded today. v767.    Mostly R/D stuff.   Had to re-write a bunch of the code. I have played it about a dozen hours, or so. No bugs found yet.

I am kind of rusty on posting. I think this site is a tad different than the old JP's. Then again, I guess I am just rusty too. I had to move my web page to UT's new server.
We have a different way of uploading files too. WinSCP. This place is different. Hopefully will get to see the same old friends here again though.

Version 768 March 4, 2021
Got the type mis-match error fixed.

Cleaned up a few more R/D quirks. It's getting along pretty well now.

Version 769 uploaded March 24, 2021

Mainly Artillery AI modification. (Still working on it.) Just the last turn running before uploading the AI did something really stupid though. But, hey...
Changed Artillery Start dates on most Guns. Default equipment file that is. Not sure who else uses it, but I like it.)
Almost every nation had 105, and 155mm guns since WWI !
The old dates were hold-overs from the original file. (There were no Americans fighting before 1942 in that game.) Can't believe I have not messed with the e-file very much in 14 years !
I think I made a couple map tweaks. Removed some control markers that were in the middle of nowhere.

v770 uploaded March 30, 2021. Not much change, but not sure you guys had the newest version.
The reduced cost should not be a problem, forts should not get move bonuses. (Those should have been in 769, but who knows.)

Thanks for starting this thread, cause im never sure when the newer versions come out!

April 28th, 2021 version 771 uploaded.
Tweaked with the first turn deployment. (AI will deploy in home nation airfields only. For first turn.)
Politics tweaked for AI...still messing around with that a bit. Egypt is more likely to declare war on UK, etc.

[valorius]

Great!

I'm up to turn 110 on a game where i'm playing as the USSR and Italians (non aligned).

Everything is working pretty smooth. Only major issue is the airplane thing- which is hopefully fixed now, and all R&D being cost reductions only.

I'll download the new version and continue playing my current game to look for bugs.

Thanks again for all your efforts Jeff!!!

Version 772 posted May 6th, 2021

Valorius: I fixed the turn 65 bug. It was a loop.
I have been messing with the politics a bit. When a nation accepts a surrender from another country, or faction.
All the home nation objectives which the conquered country control which belong to one of those nations are automatically returned to their control.
(Unless another still warring nation has a unit on that hex. In which case they gain control of it.)

[valorius]

What's new in v 772 other than the politics?

[valorius]

I've played about 100 or so turns with the latest version. No obvious defects thus far.

[jeff]

No new updates to mention. Been sort of busy with Grandson, school, baseball, Fortnite ! Yes, I think I am the oldest fortnite player in the world.
I have been working on the AI a bit ....hopefully I will get a new version up soon.
    Hope you guys are all well. Most of my family are in the medical profession. This covid has about wore them all out.

[valorius]

Everything is great here, hope you continue to be well. Look forward to your latest update when it comes.

[konzev]

Me too.

Hi Jeff, I want to try the World scenario, how do I have to install the WORLD.zip into the PGX folder ? It says install into DATA and BMP, so the whole content has to go into both ?
