Tempestzzzz Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 No problem with USMC and Brits. But no matter how you line up the US Army Engineers on a wall it's problematic at best. I used all the tricks, facing the wall, blast way point before wall, over the wall on the wall. They aren't reliable. I doubt the bug will be fixed-just throw it our there anyone doing a search on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Ok stand corrected-not a bug. At a minimum for the US ARMY Engineers -if you build a scenario use the following settings after you purchasers your Engineers. EXPERIENCE=Veteran MOTIVATION=High FITNESS=Fit LEADERSHIP=+1 SUPPLY=Full EQUIPMENT=Average VEHICLE STATUS=OK Anything less and they will screw up when you need them. I was playing the Scenario Blasting Angels-but the Engineers were worthless sometimes they worked other times :mad::mad::mad: Sooooo I used the higher settings above on 2 other scenarios with higher Engineering settings for USMC and Brits that I modified from Blasting Angels and the U.S. Army Engineers were consistent in blasting walls like the Marines and the Brits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they doing different than the USMC and Brit counterpart? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Well the settings are different for the US Army Engineers unless I changed them from way back when I downloaded the original scenario (over a year ago). But the file I had the US Army Engineers only blew a wall about 50% of the time. I upped the settings in my modification of the scenario in the Scenario Editor purchase screen with the USMC and English Army Engineers always work. So I used the settings I posted. No problems. Did a search on blasting and saw various strings on it. Thought it was my placement of soldiers-or the blasting waypoint. It wasn't. The US Army Engineers had a lower setting in my scenario file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to do with BFC, but can you post your scenario with the settings you are having problems. I still don't understand what is not working for you. I just tested it, and my conscript Army Engineers work fine, is there something special in your scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Well they are someone scenario I modified so I can't publicly post them for download. Buy I can zip you up the Marine and British Army variation plus the one that gave me trouble. Just PM me your e:mail. The settings that don't give me what I want are below-changes in red. EXPERIENCE=Regular MOTIVATION=Normal FITNESS=Fit LEADERSHIP=+1 SUPPLY=Full EQUIPMENT=Average VEHICLE STATUS=OK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 One other thing-I play at ELITE settings so that may make a difference to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stikkypixie Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi, I just tried blasting the walls and I seem to have no problem. I made a video of it here. Is it something else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for the YOUTUBE. Nope same problem. I tried your approach 3 prong attack and it was hit or miss-tried facing the troops . Didn't work. I modified the mission with the higher suggested settings and it worked just like your Youtube-no problems Just pointed them in that direction with one long QUICK waypoint-laid a BLAST waypoint a bit beyond the wall and it worked like magic with no fuss on my part. My original ShockForce was on a Paragon disc-not a download. I have all the modules and it's patched to 1.32. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give a save-game where you reproduce this problem. A save-game where one can see the orders you give? Right now your description is very confusing and vague to be able to reproduce what you are seeing. To be honest I really don't think it's a bug, put more of problem how you are placing the waypoints. Also, you do realize that you need to be about one action spot away from a wall for the team to be able to blast the wall? That is, place the quick waypoint close enough to the wall and then place the blast waypoint? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stikkypixie Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks for your input. I hope it helps. If you not you really should contact BFC directly, it sounds like a very annoying problem. Good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
