Hellas Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I finished my first map for FI and when I place fortifications on the slopes (hilly Italian terrain) everything seems fine - until I run the test: Suddenly the bunkers and trenches are sunken into the terrain, their meticulously defined LOS is gone and even the enemy can see their positions in the terrain. :eek: It's not mentioned in the changelog but would upgrading to 3.0 solve this bug? Making the map was so much work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It has cropped up elsewhere (probably in the CMBN forum) - it is something to do with the way the coding works - fortifications have to 'settle' once you hit play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellas Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Do you know if this is fixed with the latest upgrade? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik mond Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 You have to take a look at it in the game world. Go back to the editor and adjust elevations and terrain to get the effect you desire. I don't think it was previously considered an issue. One thing else, perhaps unrelated, but different terrain tiles will characteristically behave differently in appearance, i.e. gravel and dirt lots maintain a square edge for elevation changes, Mud will go round on the edge for a river that changes direction. stuff like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hellas, I probably didn't make it clear, it is not a bug - AFAIK it is how the game code works - as nik said above, you have to work around it - in this case by looking at how your LOS is affected and bumping up the elevations underneath your fortifications so that when they 'settle', they give you the LOS that you desire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellas Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 The player places the trenches and bunkers during setup. When he is finished with the setup and wants to play the game, his bunkers suddenly have no LOS anymore. If this is not a bug, then I don't know what a bug is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 IIRC it was already submitted and admitted as a bug. But that was quite a while ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 A forgotten bug then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
