SlowMotion Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) While playing a scenario that has hmmwv 1114 vehicle I noticed that this vehicle's icon is not anything like a vehicle. It looks like a grenade launcher. The vehicle does have a 40 mm grenade launcher, but IMO it's still more a vehicle than a weapon. So, is this icon intentional or a bug?

sburke Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Not sure what you are seeing as that does not link to a CM pic just a general search on images. When I look in CM an hmmwv is a vehicle icon regardless of armament. The only variation is the TOW version icon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncc1701e Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hello, I have done a quick test in the editor (CMSF v2.01) and I can see this. Not sure this is exactly the same variant of HMMWV... Is it a scenario from CMSF1 that you are playing directly in CMSF2 without any formation changes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 which icon are we talking about. That is the UI presentation not what I would call the vehicle Icon. That is what appears above the vehicle within the game area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncc1701e Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Good question. If this is the floating icon, it looks like a vehicle in the editor. Several variants of HMMWV here: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yep that is exactly what I see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I mean the floating icon. This is what I see. Scenario is The thin black line. Edited January 16, 2019 by SlowMotion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 That ain’t right. it show 4 people. Let me tinker around I have some suspicions what that might be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) well my theory half way panned out. The Marine CAAT unit has 4 people in the Mk 19 hmmwv. It still however does not use that icon you see. I tried creating a scenario from CMSF1 and importing it - no change. By any chance have you not loaded the 2.1 patch for CMSF2? That is my final guess at something being different.... never mind looked at your first post and you noted 2.01... I have no idea why you are seeing that.

SlowMotion Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I checked this scenario in Scenario Editor. There are two other Humvees that have this same problem, but they show the flag icon that normally shows for infantry HQ units. And if I Dismount the crew, then the vehicle shows the normal vehicle icon. But once I move the crew back to the vehicle, then the vehicle shows crew's icon. The icon is shown the same way in Scenario Editor's Deploy mode and when playing the scenario. Maybe something went wrong when I installed the game? I guess this is not a serious problem if it only affects the icon, but strange anyway. Only three Humvees show a wrong icon, the rest show correct icon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) That was actually my first thought - that the game was using the icon of the unit occupying the vehicle and someone had dismounted the vehicle crew to mount an infantry team. I have done that, but never noticed it having an impact. Wen I checked, all was normal. The only other thing that I can think of is a mod doing something, but there aren't that many mods yet.
