Static Objects Problem

[Riksen 1]

Paul, Im using the new 3.49 version of DCG and I have modified the carcolumns file and updated both the gunits as well as gobjects accordingly. Everything went fine for all the columns I introduced for both soviets and germans but today after introducing columns for the US side, the generated mission is introducing the following lines into the Static objects in the .mis file, making it unreadable by the game:

As you can see, it is putting a Chief number to the stationary objects instead of the XXXX_Static. Is it an error in the generator or do u thing is on my side here?

It isn't a bug.

I guess that in your columns.dcg file:

  6_Chief status is ~C

  17_Chief status is ~C

 

From one of my .mis files:

In my columns.dcg file:

 17_Chief, 0_Chief, 4_Chief and 20_Chief status are ~X (no fuel).

 93_Chief and 61_Chief status is ~C.

 

To run the mission X_Static or X_ChiefY ID is correct.

  2492_Static vehicles.artillery.Artillery$M16_US 1 20154.61 91192.99 360.00 0.0 0 1 1
  17_Chief1 vehicles.artillery.Artillery$Crusader_III 1 53100.00 69300.00 552.0 0.0 0
 

If I destroy the 2492_Static vehicles.artillery.Artillery$M16_US, a garisson value lose 9 points.

If I destroy the 17_Chief1 vehicles.artillery.Artillery$Crusader_III, the 17_Chief column lose a tank.

 

Hope it help.

Oh I see, thxs idefix ...

 

The problem is that everytime this happens in the mis file, It doesnt load the mission ... Have u ever experienced that?

 

Cheers

It's not an error.  It's the way DCG tracks dynamic ground units that have converted into static units because they are in contact with the enemy.  Using "chief" instead of "static" in the Stationary section has never been a problem....

I wonder if one of these two units don't have a static equivalent. 

[Riksen 1]

Thanks for the report Lo ... Ill check it out to narrow the problem out

Riksen, can you try loading one of the problem missions in FMB and then checking the log.lst file in the game root folder? The last 50 or so lines of the log could show the source of the error.
