Combatintman Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I may have got to the bottom as to why I'm struggling to get VP balance in scenarios and the campaigns I've got on the go. I have just done a cease fire one minute into my Green 9 scenario. Red has a number of occupy objectives which it is sat on at the start with no blue troops anyway close to those objectives yet on the statistics screen that comes up at game end they are not credited with the points. Conversely the Blue occupy objective that it is sat on at the start of the mission is credited to the Blue player on the statistics screen. I can't come up with a reason for it at all and it is annoying because the mission is not fit for purpose without Red getting the credits they deserve. Thoughts anybody/Battlefront? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Do you have a scenario I could look at that has this problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I took a look at "Tactical Vignette 98-3" from the base game and the Red "Occupy" terrain objective is working fine whether playing from the Red or Blue side. I would have to take a look at the scenario where you are having problems to see what the problem might be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yes I do however it is unfinished, but it is the one that threw up the problem and should replicate the behaviour described. I may have at least one more unfinished one somewhere that I am suspicious of. Just tell me where to send it to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sgt Joch - seen your PM, I'll send the mission(s) in question to you when I finish work today. Thanks for the quick response and offer of help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sgt Joch - e-mail sent with two missions attached which exhibit said behaviour. Regards Combatintman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Joch Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That is strange, the Red terrain objective in LOAM Wadi does not work, but I can't figure out why. I will raise it with the larger group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 SGT Joch, in a way I'm relieved because I would have hated to have wasted your time and I was questioning my sanity because of course ver 1.32 has been out for some time now!!! My suspicion about the Green 9 scenario (Imperial Grunt is looking at that one) which is where it really hit home was that it may have had something to do with having the mission being set to Red v Red to add some Syrians as ANA troops for Blue before switching to Blue v Red. However for the LOAM Wadi mission that is absolutely not the case as it is strictly Blue v Red and has been throughout the development process. Did you encounter the same results as I did for the LOAM Yakhchal mission? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I have only looked at Wadi so far. I checked a few more stock scenarios and they all work fine. Do you have a recent scenario you made in v 1.32 that works? That might give us a clue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Now here's quite a shocking thing, none of the scenarios that I have released recently behave correctly with Red Occupy objectives. I guess my testing was all about ensuring that the mission was achievable!! I have one scenario which I have worked on recently (about 3-4 months ago) by swapping out Blue units for a Core Units File and stripping some Red units from it. However the base map and main elements of the scenario were put together about 2 years ago. That does work but as I say I'm not convinced it counts as 'recent'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 To clarify the above - the mission I refer to that works I started on or about Feb-Mar 2012 and I last worked on it in Nov 2013. As I say the recent changes were in terms of units, the objectives would have been locked in on the earlier date. I have another mission that works with the same sort of timeframes (eg early work in Feb-Mar 12 and updates in Nov 2013). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi, so all post v. 1.32 patch? I have a few things I want to still check out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Sgt Joch, I would guess so. From what I can work out the 1.32 patch came out in Jul 11 - I certainly didn't update to it then because I was on tour but I would have updated my installs on my return which was in Sep of that year. I did not start working on the project containing the two missions that I referred to in the previous post until about Dec 11/Jan 12. That would certainly be post my ver 1.32 patch install. I'll send both of the functional ones to you on the other means. Regards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I ran some more tests, there is a problem, but I am not sure what is going on. I took one of my own unfinished scenarios, created new Red objectives and got the same problem you had. Then I took a stock scenario, Tactical vignette 98-3 again, created a new objective and that one works perfectly. :confused: I will submit the issue to mr. Charles to see if he can figure out what is going on, although between Red Thunder and Black Sea, I don't know when he will be able to get to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Sgt Joch, thanks again for looking at this, I fully appreciate that this isn't top of the to do list and I can do other things while it is being looked at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Oh look @puje. That red occupy bug was part of the original CMSF. Did anyone get any feed back on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it ever got fixed - I don't think its an issue in CMSF-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC he reported it to @IanL. EDIT I just checked, the Sarge also noted it appears to pop up in CMBN too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
