The War Engine Retail Patch 1.03

Version 1.03 ------------
1) Game: Fixed a bug that allowed the AI to unload in stances it wasn't allowed to unload in.
2) Game: Weapons in slots 50 and above now act correctly.
3) Game: Fixed a bug that sometimes didn't allow you to end a turn when the entire army was gone.
4) Game: Can no longer undo a move once you enter Dangerous Terrain.
5) Game: Corrected the AI "Aggressively attack Enemy" mission so it always moves up to the enemy.
6) Editor: Viewing angle is now properly updated when choosing "Copy these stats from Unit"
7) Game: Rule Change - Can no longer turn vehicles that are stunned. They can only move straight.
8) Game: Rule Change - Can no longer Retreat during PBEM games.
9) Game: Rule Change - If a unit does not have enough MPs to enter a square, its MPs will drop to zero, but its Endurance is no longer reduced.
10) Game: AI is much braver with its transports now - won't bail at the first sign of danger.
11) Corrected the following scenarios: Caverns1/2, An_Urban_Patrol, The_Argo_Lab_Attack, Saving_Major_Jerome.
12) Addition: Drivers for transports - Next to the Transport box in the Customizer, there is now a box marked "Driver". - Check this to indicate a tranport must have at least one unit loaded in order to operate. - Transports without drivers ("Crews") are treated the same as stunned units in all respects. - A unit entering a transport must wait until the next turn to do anything that requires MPs.
13) Expanded Rules for Reinforcements Files for Random Campaign Scenarios
Reinforcement files are currently found by adding the turn number to the end of the base scenario name. This remains the same, however an additional search is now made by adding an underscore between the name of the random scenario and the turn number.
This is best illustrated with an example. The scenario name is Field_Generator and the available random scenarios are Field_Generator1.wdk, Field_Generator2.wdk and Field_Generator3.wdk. Field_Generator3.wdk is selected and it's now Turn 4 for Side B. The search sequence is now:
1) Field_Generator3_4.plb - File name plus "_4" for the turn number
2) Field_Generator4.plb - Previous search still occurs
This allows you to specify per-random scenario reinforcements.
14) Expanded Rules for Story Files for Random Campaign Scenarios
Before v1.03, story files were found by adding the turn number and side letter to the end of the base scenario name. This remains the same, however an additional and more specific search for reinforcement files is done up front based on the random scenario name by adding an underscore between the name of the random scenario and the turn/side designation.
Continuing the example from above, the search sequence for the story file is now:
1) Field_Generator3_4b.txt
2) Field_Generator3_4.txt
3) Field_Generator4b.txt - Previous search still occurs
4) Field_Generator4.txt - Previous search still occurs
"Pre" and "Post" can now be added straight to the random scenario name. No underscore is used:
1) Field_Generator3Pre.txt
2) Field_GeneratorPre.txt
And at the end (assuming you won):
1) Field_Generator3PostWon.txt
2) Field_Generator3Post.txt
3) Field_GeneratorPostWon.txt - Previous search still occurs
4) Field_GeneratorPost.txt - Previous search still occurs
Version 1.02 ------------
1. Game: Fixed a crash when the AI unloaded units
2. Game: Fixed a bug that blocked reinforcements inside transports
3. Game: Fixed a bug whereby destroyed terrain wasn't registering as destroyed for Objectives if it didn't change upon destruction

7. Editor: Fixed a crash when loading a terrain file from the terrain editing window
8. Editor: Added missing sounds to sound list (heavy and light bullets)
9. Editor: When picking armies, put in a visual cue to show which unit you last selected. This helps when modifying a large number of units in an army on an individual basis
10. Game: Rule change - Terrain is no longer marked safe when it is destroyed: if it turns into another dangerous piece of terrain is remains dangerous. Note that the terrain actually has to change for it to become dangerous again.

15. Game: Can now play Computer vs Computer - Press any key to stop the game at the end of the turn - Can look at reports and such before quitting or hitting Spacebar to continue
16. Game: AI Improvement - Missiles - If a unit is defined as only having a weapon that can blow itself up (or if it ends up that way after using all its other ammo) it will self-detonate once it moves adjacent to an enemy unit
17. New AI Mission: "Aggressively Attack Enemy Units". The AI will generally close with the enemy only enough to get into firing range. With this mission, the AI will go toe-to-toe with the enemy unit he's after.
