import works not for all PzC1 files at V1.1.20a

The import of PzC1 scenarios is only possible for about half of my old files with the editor of PzC2 V1.1.20a.

1) Some can’t be imported at all. When trying the editor crashes without an error message and nothing is done, see no-import.zip.

2) A few are partly imported. You get a .pz2scn file but no .map file. Therefore you can’t start the scenario, but you get a crash without error message, see wrong-import.zip.

Without an error message I have no workaround. I can’t identify what is different between the working scenarios and the not working once.

Greetings, Peter

Edit: Added the two examples.

the maps u cannot import at all can be fixed using the PC1 editor. Remove all units using tools and the import will work. i didn´t bother to check which unit is causing the problem.
the maps that import but can´t start, try saving them before starting. i´m not absolutely sure how i managed to get them to work but if i remember correct that was it.

Thank you for your help!

1) The "no-import" work without units. As I have a lot of scenario, I'll try to find out which unit type is exactly the problem.

2) Wrong-inport: Independed if I use save, save as or export no .map file is generated.
But if I delete all unit before the input it works too.

Nevertheless at the working scenarios the units are not the problem. The units which doesn't exist in PzC2 are just ignored.
In this campaign I have 13 scenarios with a problem. Therefore it’s worth I find out which unit types causes problems.

seems the problem has been fixed and it was units with added entrenchment on map start. maybe try again after patching to 1.1.21

Wrong-import scenario

The Bulgarian unit Do 17Z crashes the Editor(v1.1.21). If you delete this unit it’s good but you can always replaces this buggy Bulgarian unit with a new Do 17Z unit with the Editor(v1.1.21) and it works again.
