Unit promotion gives away your position in multiplayer

[LOGAN5]

A big star pops up when you promote your units, so if you are hiding in a building your opponent will know where you are? Any chance of this getting fixed, also when bog the camera jumps right to where you bogged.

I've only played this a day. Seems to me the word 'ambush' will pop up in the general area, if the computer kills the unit and is promoted though, a star pops up revealing the exact location.

It does this in multiplayer too?

I think it can be fixed ...

They need to add the parameter [alwaysShow] to the end of the AddVizUnitSpotAnim and AddVizSpotAnim.
For bogging down, commenting out the AddVizCamCenter should work.

My best guess that is.

I think that's already on our buglist. But thanks for the remind.

MP causes all kinds of headaches with doing things on one machine and not the other. We are work in progress for a better system - but it's non-trvial...

In which file?

In which file?

I was hoping you wouldn't ask .... It's a major job ... You can comment out (//) the AddViz script calls for a temporary fix.
I don't know if this works in MP.

You would need to go through ALL the BSF files that you copied over in your folder .... \My Games\BBCBA\CAMPAIGNS\My_Campaign\Data\Battle\Scripts.

Example .... To stop the camera from centering on a bogged vehicle ... Open the Move.bsf file and comment out any AddVizCamCenter scripts that pertain to bogging down.
You can also comment out any AddVizUnitText while you are there.

Good luck!

Thanks!

If you comment "major job!", I can forget it!

But maybe PIP helps!
