I'm just about finished my campaign with 6.2 and it was AWESOME!
Do you guys reccomend this BETA, then? Just how buggy is it and did someone say not all the better battlefield mods were implemented?

Well , CelticPagan mentions some glaring bugs(would be nice to know which he has encountered) , though I have to admit my 6.3 game (In which I have reached 1310 by now) runs very stable.

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
good to hear! Is it much better than 6.2? Is it true only some of the BB features have been integrated??

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
I think it should be miles better than 6.2, but not as good as 6.2+BB2.48Update4.
Hopefully beta02 will fix that
edit: Oh but I must give Furin a little credit here, 6.2+BB2.48Update4 would be even better if it included his script changes!!

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
ok so you reccomend I manually install the BB stuff and just wait for a more stable 6.3 BETA?

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
I recommend you beta test 6.3 and report on it here, if that is what you want to do.
But if you want the best current DLV experience, just to play, then I have to recommend 6.2+BB.
And I am not just plugging my own work because I am precious about it getting into DLV - I don't give a crap about that, and I haven't since my work was butchered in DLV6.0. But I do care about all the work that everyone has put into testing BB, giving feedback, and truly making it shine.
I don't want it in because I want credit, I want it in because it is very damn good and DLV is my favorite game. BB is a product of the DLV community, it's way better than I could have achieved by myself.
And, I'll just repeat this again; BB2.48Update3 is not included in this beta - Agis' MMC does not include BB2.48Update3, so quite probably Repman does not know which version of BB he has included.

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
I hear you Taiji. I'm excited about what changes you've made with your BB. I will beta test 6.3... it's the least I can do come to think of it!
What should I do in preperation for a beta test? What's that line I add to the bottom of my config file to generate error logs should I ever encounter an error??
Cheers.

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
Very good of you, a fine sense of community spirit, Novusordo. Don't worry about stuff like logs, just play it and if you get any problems, or have any observations, write about them here.
If you get a CTD you can check your log and post it here. But noone should be playing with trace logging or anything like that, it slows the game down and sometimes by a lot - which means less testing gets done. So leave the .cfg alone and just play

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
Lol, good job I'm making final checks before I start my campaign - just saw that update4 is out - going to test 6.2 with BB4.8/U4 (Kinda like Umrüst-Bausätze that) and will keep updated.

6.3 beta uses BB2.48Update3 (except the edb file)
What glaring bugs ?
Is there any difference on the battle field when the battle field script is activated or not ?

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
No it doesn't - You have been mislead. 6.3 appears to be using 2.47update3's EDU, so not 2.48 at all.

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
Hi,
I just wanted to remove the peasants but I'm getting an error message.
I can remove them from EDU, EDB, descr_rebel_factions etc. and the game loads but as soon as I remove them in BM.DB the game crashes on startup whereas it never used to - why is this please? What has changed since the last version?
Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
If there is no error message it's most likely you did something wrong in battle_models.modeldb. You wouldn't need to remove them from battle_models.modeldb anyway. There's plenty of unused entries.
Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
No, there is an error message, it only occurs when I delete the BM.DB entry:
Error:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Also, I don't know if you remember but I was saying a while back that I was having probs with the byzantines. Whenever a battle loaded with them in it crashed. I traced it to their officer units being at the bottom of BM.DB and essentially 'dropping off' whenever I added any more units. I could measure this exactly by the number of units I had added being the same as the number of units that wouldn't work (through testing) from the bottom of the file. It seems maxed out!
Try it - add a unit, then load a battle with the Byzantines. I think their officer unit is at the bottom. It will crash.
Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
Ok, I had Xenophonia installed and traced it to that. It doesn't like it when you add or remove units.
Would anyone be so kind as to explain how you add units to DLV with Xenophonia installed?
I have installed 'XenophoniaDLV' but the units are fixed at 6.2 for this. I know I need to add units to 'export_descr_sounds_units_voice' under the right nationality, but althought the game now loads, the dsound is broken. Where else do I have to reference the sound for the new unit?

Re: DLV 6.3 openbeta_01 02\21\2010
Ok , I played until 1380 now. Forgiveness/execution script has broken down somewhere during the campaign , all other stuff seems to working. I noticed reinforcement armies cannot be controlled at all. They just seem to move to the middle of the map , not really starting a fight unless they accidentally walk into an enemy unit. Artillery never fires , just walks into the enemy as well.
