Official SEOW

I have never found it a problem to generate mission. You miss understood my point, sorry I was not clearer here. Mission generation is flawless as best I can tell. This is in part due to the fact that the FMB is transparent and has no automated functions. In strategy games missions are generated by...

Neither IL-2 nor SEOW are perfect but the goal of the strategic planner should be to compensate for this. Not asking the admin to compensate, during a campaign, to compensate for this. Compensating for the limitation of the game is at least partially the responsibility of the campaign designer. Tha...

You didn't check my thread in campaign notes :cry: just kidding. http://www.cv6.org/ship/camo-radar.htm SC-2 Search Radar Description: A second-generation air search radar, the SC-2 was approximately half the size of the CXAM-1. It included an integral IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system and l...

Some criticism of SEOW as a war game platform is needed to fully explore the question of it's applicability as a strategy game. The issues I struggle with are as follows. Battles that span long periods of time cannot be reproduced as the game engine runs in real time. Planes and ground units move in...

I have been thinking about this lately and have expended some effort along with WPOJones to attract strategy game people who do not fly IL-2 to SEOW without much success. The cost of IL-2 is much less than the cost of a single war game figure so cost cannot be an issue. IL-2 is easy to set up and th...

Not sure but the Cartagena database may have some issue. I restarted the campaign using some existing data and missions and my last export of the new campaign is under 3 megs. I had forgotten that I had editted the Airforce_Units and AirRegimentStructure tables as the axis and allied assignments wer...

After 12 missions my SCW campaign is now 315megs, I suspect something is wrong. I used my backups and the next build was 71megs so when I figure this out I will let you know.

OK I have split my campaign into three phases 1940, 1941, and 1942. I have the book Courage Alone The Italian Air Force 1940-1943 by Chris Dunning I'm still at a loss how to assign Italian planes to Squads, for example we seem to have no SAS squads and it is not clear if transports assigned to indiv...

OK so I checked with Tushka and he informs me that anything under 100 megs is not considered large. Up to this point I had only ran small campaigns and didn't realize how much things have changed over the last two years. A DB backup after campaign initialization was 1.6MB but after 7 missions, we're...

Sorry about the drama but I wasn't sure how large these SQL files should get.

Thanks guys!

P.S. I tried not loading it into memory and that didn't go well.

Update I have the choice of loading SQL files into memory or running them from the file. I checked and the SQL editor is up to 250 megs of memory when running the 43 meg export of my tables. While I have plenty of memory I really don't have a clue which is better, could someone care to take an educa...

So is it possible to reduce the size of any of these tables after the campaign has started?

I'm on mission 8 of my SCW campaign and the SQL export is now 28 Megs. I'm starting to get concerned. Is there anyway to reduce the speed at which it is growing?

My SQL editor ask me if I want to load SQL files larger than 5 megs into memory. I always say yes but was wondering what other people do?

Thanks Shades! I have noticed in your campaigns that there is great attention paid to accurate unit designations. I assume that you edit the database somehow to achieve this. Could you give us a short rundown of your technique when you have time.
