Is it possible to put Marines into a NATO Module German G-Class jeep to get a basically perfect Marines IFAV? This can get weird. There are some oddities at play in moving teams into vehicles. I have played around trying to mount troops in vehicles and dismounting the inherent crews. First off you have to worry about the team size versus vehicle capability, but in addition you run into weird stuff during a scenario example I mounted a 5 member team into a mk 19 hummv. At start of scenario it is fine. They drive to where I tell them to and then dismount. Then I find I want them to remount....and they can’t. There seems to a difference in mounting a team as part of the initial set up phase and commands later in the battle that can have unexpected consequences.

Mattis Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 So do I get it right once the Marines dismount the IFAV midmission they can´t get back into it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different vehicles seem to behave differently. It may have to do with if the vehicles has a "crew" or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattis Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I did this in battle. It worked. I just need to leave the vehicles dismounted at the beginning otherwise the former crews return into their vehicles. The German ones look pretty identical to the Marines ones (there is just the minor German flag on the plate but this can easily be modified) Marines can mount and dismount all day without help . Damn I love it. Edited December 14, 2018 by Mattis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Nice one.....Was going to check, but you beat me to it. Dismount sure beats Ammo Dump for flexibility doesn't it? PS - I had a quick mess around in the editor anyway.....I can't get shot of the German driver either (yet).

It contains one pretty significant bug fix (some on-map mortars can't be called in by other units) and the updated Semper Fi campaign. There's a pretty good number of very small tweaks to correct minor/aesthetic issues that you guys found. Steve I wonder if there is any point for CM:SF2 "complete" owners to keep a backup of the current Semper Fi campaign, in order to have a version of the campaign with more variety of props. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rename the file. It might be difficult to distinguish between them in the game's list. If that happens just move one file our of the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2k Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 @IanL, Yes I will try it that way.

IICptMillerII Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hmm yeah from that screenshot it looks like it could be a glitch. Easy enough to fix though. Just open up the map in the editor and add a doorway to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2k Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Glad you agree it is a glitch. Yeah I have done such a map edit before, just that this building is such a prominent part of the map that it seemed worthy of a notification here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It may have been taken from a scenario where the function of the building was meant to make sure no one entered or exited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Doors are on the top floor. Therefore, your men need to embark on their M40 “Ali Baba” Air Transport Carpet (Magic) first. Important to place the waypoint immediately adjacent to the door, though, since a 5 floor free fall will, at the least, cause your squad to be “Broken.” This could be countered by first employing your M1 WB/MM (Warner Brothers/Merry Melodies) Snake Charmer, which of course will extend a rope straight up from the Action Square in which it is located, allowing your men to rappel to the ground should you screw up placement of the M40 ATC(M). You’ll find all this in the Manual. Oh, don’t forget, the doorways may, in fact, be guarded by an M2 LT (Looney Tunes)Hassan Chop unit, armed with a huge scimitar (the big sword type, not that silly vehicle those British people run around in). Dicey (literally) in close quarters. I hope that helps, Kevin. Strangely, I feel the need to go watch some cartoons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this sort of thing isn't part of a campaign it's always a very simple fix in the editor.....How complex depends on how complex you want your mosque, here's a quick fix I made for it (This took all of eight mouse clicks in total IIRC): https://www.dropbox.com/s/0i3l4x5hhey4hd0/Desert Town (592 X 208) 296m (Mosque Fixed).btt?dl=0 Edited December 15, 2018 by Sgt.Squarehead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, the WWII SeaBees started out being trained by Marines, wore Marine uniforms, and I believe were actually referred to as Marines until the Navy took them back. That is one of the reasons the Marines have such high respect for the "Construction Battalion" CBs (get it, huh get it? CBs = SeaBees,) It's not just because the SeaBees can build and ice cream factory and a brewery in the middle of the desert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAS Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Sad to see units removed from the campaign Would it be possible to ad all Syrian units to the base game? I think most customers would buy the modules for the new campaigns and western units anyway. Thanks for the update to SF2. Had no problems with the install! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
