Why M3 halftrack only holds 8 people?

[ReichElite]

You can see after loading up 8 people there are still 2 seats unoccupied, that means it can actually holds 10 people,and in history it did. A squad contains at least 9 soldiers, what am I supposed to do with the last one? Can I fix its loading capacity?

You know, I think this is a coding bug...look at the code below:

BTW, shooter and driver are the CREW, and do not count in the PASSENGER count of 10....

So the whole vehicle should hold 12 soldiers.....

Sneaksie, is this an accidental omission?

[SlapHappy]

Also, if Freecrew for passengers was set to TRUE, could the individual soldiers fire while inside the vehicle.....

Just dreaming!!!

I could just see the Road War 2000 mod now

It's a bug, most probably typo.

Here's right ones. Their 'Job' must be set like 'Name'. 'Job' 'passanger' was a already occupied by another soldier, that's why 9th and 10th couldn't get in.

Also note that i've added Passanger9 to [Hull_Hull]. It's not critical, but if not specified like that, Passanger9 would not receive damage from internal armor fragmentation of the vehicle.

Weird,the code in my version is following:

But even so there still should be 9 passengers isnt it? Why 8?

[Sneaksie]

8 because both 9th and 10th had incorrectly assigned jobs.

[ReichElite]

Well, the code is supposed to be right, but after correction and entering the game, the entire car was vaporized! :eek: It didn't even show up! And game was unstable. Did they also remove the places for the remaining soldiers in 3D model or there is something to do with the GUI?

[Sneaksie]

It's because we have different versions i think and unit system changed somewhat... Don't copy the entire code, only change the jobs in your original file for 9th and 10th passanger from 'passanger' to 'passanger9' and 'passanger10' and nothing more.

[ReichElite]

I rechecked the original code and found out Passenger 1, 9 and 10 were all incorrectly coded, then only 7 soldiers could be onboard. Now I admire those coders, they managed to get this game working with weird codes.

[Sneaksie]

If Passanger1 have a job 'passanger' without number, it's ok. There should be no passangers set to the same job, that's all (all must have different ones, 'passanger', 'passanger1', 'passanger10' ...).

So, did it work after you've changed the values?

[ReichElite]

FINALLY IT'S WORKINNNNNGGGGG!

After I changed the Name and Job of Passenger 1 to "Passenger", and corrected the ones for Passenger 9 and 10 to "Passenger9" and "Passenger10", M3 now can hold 10 lucky bast**ds! I didnt link Passenger 9 to any part, so I guess it's count for damage calculation.

No doubt, another one in the Bug List.

Did I mention that? I'm using UK version.

[ReichElite]

And thank you Sneaksie, too happy and forgot it

[Flanker15]

Something to throw into the patch I guess.

[ReichElite]

Sdkfz 251 should also hold 10 people, german squad usually contains 10 people, why did they reduce the capacity to 6? I think this problem needs modification on 3D model and that will be too difficult for me. Waitting for someone good at it.
