Editor issues

[Erik2]

The Free French campaign flag is blank in the campaign editor.

[Erik2]

Event graphics still do not display when the game is run from the editor.
This is an old one, guys.

[Shards]

You know why this last one is though? Adherbal has explained before? The game creates a temporary scenario folder for you to playtest the game in. If it had to copy all your images across, it would be a much slower cycle.

[Erik2]

Aha, I see.
Too bad you don't get to test the event graphics though.
I would have preferred waiting the seconds it takes to copy the graphics over.

I guess it's the "_temp" folder, right? So if you don't mind manually copying the pic files there (with the Explorer while you're in the OoB editor), Erik, it should work then (?)

[Erik2]

Yep, I ‘m planning to do that.

[Erik2]

It looks like the unit damage counter doesn't count correctly.
The Swordfishes have surely inflicted 5 damage to the battleship, but the counter displays 4 hits.

[Erik2]

And stranger still.
After the AI turn the counter displays 12

And it increases by 2 for each AI turn.

I wonder if I've set up the trigger/event correctly...

[Erik2]

So here's the trigger I've set up.
I find this a bit confusing.
There are both Unit definitions fields and a Target definition field.
When I tried the latter the counter didn't work at all.

[Shards]

No idea what you've got going on there erik! Do you mind uploading the scenario as an attachment so I can log it for someone to look at?

Unit Damage Done works for me :

Erik, I think it's because you have the Killer being defined when you should have that information under Target. The Killer should be GB/Swordfish and the Target should be Italy/battleship.

Confusion between Killer and Target

[bebro]

edit NM, misunderstood you

[GabeKnight]

Yep, I think the same. Wrong trigger setup. No unit under "killer" (e.g. just the player's nation/team) and the target definition should be BB

[Erik2]

Thanks.
So Unit Definitions should be relabeled Killer Definitions.

Edit: But this also means you cannot leave the Killer blank, you must put something there.
At least the trigger didn't work when I had the target entered correctly, but no killer.

[Shards]

It does say Killer definition at the top?

But yeah, I can see how this could be clearer as a trigger, I don't know the underworkings, but it might be better if Killer and Target were mirrored and had all the same options (nation/type/etc)?

Cropping the rigfht side of some (large) maps does not work. Tried smaller crops (10 hexes) without luck.
Cropping bottom (20 hexes) or left side (10 hexes) works OK.

I do sometimes have similar probs, but sooner or later get it to work usually. Can you attach the map here?

(or do you prefer to mail it)

[bebro]

Aha, I see.

You could launch in cam mode, and trigger the events manually that are supposed to display those pics. The happy nuking to the next scn...
