New wreck graphic?

[PoorOldSpike]

My boys knocked out those two Panther A's with AT charges but instead of becoming the normal grey 'wreck' colour, they became stripey, weird.
Has anybody else noticed it or is it just me?

Was this with my latest Skirmish Mod (1.4) or an earlier version, or vanilla?

This is the weird blue textures I was talking about in the Matilda thread:

It means that the destroyed texture is missing. I seem to remember that I forgot to add one of the destroyed textures to the mod, but then corrected it later. It may have been the Panther A, but the texture is certainly in the 1.4 mod now.

The screenshot was with your 1.4 mod mate which I played a few hours ago.
You say it's now been fixed, so does that mean there's a 1.5 out now that I need to download?

No, the 1.4 version of the Mod has the Panther A's destroyed texture, so I am puzzled as to why you are getting this error. It might be worthwhile downloading the 1.4 Mod again, maybe the version you have now was downloaded before I added the missing texture.

I am still working on the next version, which will probably be the final version before I give Pip permission to add it to the official community downloads. You will be glad to hear that I have decided to remove the Recon planes, they were spoiling the scenarios by revealing hidden AI enemy, especially the smaller battles. I have tried to make them available only in Very Large scenarios, but could not get the scripts to work, so have taken them out completely.

Yes I just d/loaded 1.4 again and the problem seems to be cured..
Look, I bought these 3x Panther A's and the one that's been blown up is a normal healthy grey wreck colour-

Fantastic, I thought that might be the problem.

Actually, I might upload the 1.5 version for you to test soon. I have been trying all week to get Air Attack bonuses working as I would like, and was changing the scripts on a daily basis, so it was not worth uploading anything, but I think it might be okay now. The only slight issue is that the Germans have a small chance of getting more than one Ground Attack bonus from February 1943. I have just thought of a way to fix that, so I might implement that and then post the new version tonight or tomorrow.

cheers

The Air bonus always works fine for me, I get Stukas,Sturmoviks,Focke-Wulfs,Migs,Me109s, so why are you going to tweak it?

Because there are several aircraft that will never show up in vanilla Skirmishes; ie Hs 123, Hs 129, JU87G, Me 262, Polikarpov I-15, and Shturmovik with PTAB bomblets. I like planes, and it pains me to think that all that work went into making these models and yet they will never be seen outside of a few historical scenarios.

The 1.5 version of the mod is now available from the Skirmish Battle Query thread.
