City River - invisible smoke

Post by Brenmusik »

Tried out the smoke option (nice graphic) mortar fired, screen centered on the inpact area but no smoke.
At the the bottom right I had a message, the gist of which was -

unitats: : 3
turn:0
warning: could not find animation artillery_smoke_allied.
is it in the campaign anim folder?

I asked my opponent about the incident and got the reply no smoke seen but a message about smoke bottom right.

What version of City River were you using? I believe the latest is v1.2
You may want to IM Enric,..since he created these custom maps and features.

Ok, you're right the game don't download correctly from the system I'll tell to Pip.
You can download from:
viewtopic.php?f=105&t=35489#p333303

Delete the versions, 1.1 and 1.2 and install that one.

Sorry.

No, if you and your opponent update the version will not affect the running game. Maybe, you will receive the "scripts don't match" message but the game should go on.

Looks like some files didn't end up in the drop - not sure what happened. I have uploaded a fixed data set and it shouldn't affect any of your games, other than perhaps some script warnings.

Cheers

The Pc/Mac users can delete de CityRiver folder and then download again, but how is supposed the iPad user to do?. How can they delete the MP scenario and download again?

Ermmmm.

Correct. I was forgetting that the ability to delete MP scenarios is in the new update.

That is a huge pain absolutely. The only way to do it really is by reinstalling, which is a lot of hassle.

Cheers

So,we should prevent to all iPad user that if they have downloaded the scenario before yesterday, when you add the missed folder, that the scenario will not show the smoke. And until the new BA version is released they will not be able to delete the wrong version and install again the real one.

With the 2.0.6 you can delete user designed scenarios.
If some still have the first version installed (don't see the smoke) you must delete the City River scenario and download it again.
