HCE - 2008.033 ============== - Chg:0000 GE Fix endless loop when an intercept event's target unit is lost and the code looks for a new target in the same target group. Thanks Ralf http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=2735 So to test this, load up Ralf's saves for Baltic and Worst Case and see what happens. I found that they no longer throw assertion errors.

I'm not going to be available much for the next few weeks due to RL events. I'll stop by whenever I can. Hopefully things will return to a somewhat normal state in a week or two.

If you read: http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...&showbug=43 you will see that I cannot reproduce the issue. Please take it for a spin in 2008.044 and add your results.

Can someone please tell me why these 2 reports have different sonar stats? After selecting the sub in the unit window, one report is obtained with the "full" button, the other with the "display" button. ************************ P.S. I just found a way to force an immediate post. Normally, you create a post and hit the "post" button. Then the message goes to a moderator, who views it, approves it , and posts it (or not). But in this case, I first previewed the post, and when I hit "post", the message was posted immediately. The same thing works when you edit existing posts. The revised post does not go to the moderator, but is posted immediately.

HCE - 2009.038 ============== - Chg:0000 GE Fixed a crash bug that could occur when AI attacks player planes with guns in loadout. tough to test, I only ran across it while autotesting and it only happens if the gun is ONLY air capable. Anyway, I think you'll have to trust me this time that the fix works.

HCE - 2010.006 - 2010/05/21 =========================== + Chg:0000 GE Changed logic of Ship vs Sub attack type dialog so that unavailable attack type won't be chosen. (thanks CV32) + Chg:B169 GE Yet another arc induced crash fixed, was examining group type instead of unit type. (thanks Divefreak) http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...amp;showbug=169 + Chg:B160 GE Code fudged minimum Annex E range to 2.5nm so ease maneuvering for a shot. The fudge number has been changed to 1.0nm for this build meaning ASROC, ahead thrown DC, and DC type weapons now can be used …

HCE - 2011.008 - 2011/08/30 =========================== - Chg:B209 SE Formation editor shows rings correctly again. (thanks Enrique) http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...amp;showbug=209 The GE operation should not have changed but I did switch to Visual Studio 2010 to compile it. If the GE doesn't run, please install the VC2010 runtime from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555

Post up those things you think are in most urgent need of change and we'll try to keep this first post updated with them.

HCE - 2008.003 ============== - Chg:0000 GE Use the textured maps created with BattleSet Builder. - Chg:0000 SE Changes to keep up with BB and GE new BattleSets. - Chg:0000 DU Tweaked res_add_headers to allow larger battleset files. - Chg:0000 BB Capture the textured map to res028.bin of the BS.res file. This one is BS Builder improvements, mainly the inclusion of the textured map for use in the game. Some additional structure was laid out as well but that is all behind the scenes (still hoping to do non-square maps and was very close tonight but lat/lon was inaccurate). So test making some battlesets and see what happens.

With the latest beta release, I'm getting the old Vista "Not Responding" alerts whenever I try to use my mouse at any time compression 5 min or greater. This includes group selection, menu pull down, etc. Keyboard commands do not appear to be affected. I can cycle through units using space bar and back space for instance, but any attempt to select a group with the mouse results in "Not Responding". At time compression 1 min and below the mouse acts as it always has. Buddha

Hello, attached the sequel to "The Backyard". This scen will be released shortly after HCE is out. It bases on the scen published with HCE. Comments and critiques welcome! Ok, modified zip attached, including the correct scen-file. Backyard2.zip

When I select Settings/Game Options/Water Color/Textured, I see no effect. Light and Dark both work OK, but going to textured from either does nothing. Anyone else see this? Buddha

As Akula just had to note today damaged subs do not surface in our fine game. The H3 paper rules state on page 44 (rule 7.2.2.2, When a sub is reduced to 25% of its original DP (75% damage for those math whizzes out there), must surface and remain surfaced until it has repaired half of its critical hits and has more than 25% of its damage points left. In a campaign game, the submarine must go hom, avoiding all combat if possible. I propose that with that much damage we force the suckers to the surface and leave them there to rot. Suggestions welcome.

Warning: This gets into some hardcore calculations In the course of dealing with a refueling issue, I did some measurements I would not normally have done. I obtained some results that may or may not make sense. I sent an F/A-18D tanker cruising out from its base. Every time its "bingo" status dropped by 10%, I checked its distance to base (F6 in the group window) and fuel range remaining (F in the unit window). I expected that the distance traveled plus distance remaining would add up to a constant (1050 nm, the initial basic range of the plane). What I found was that the two numbers added up to an increasing total, so that the plane was able to travel sign…

This build is reverted back to the status of 2008.068 and then selected fixes from later builds were applied. Please retest all of the items in this post even though many were already verified. I'll work thru marking previously fixed and now unfixed items as such over the coming week. HCE - 2009.007 ============== - Chg:0000 GE This build is the code reverted to the original 2008.068 plus a number of tweaks. That means a number of issues are now unfixed. This was done since the fixes presented more challenges than the original issues. This returns the game to a stable state from which we can…

Bug in SE 2008.44 : Is this a known bug ? When unit window is at x1 zoom, distances are double what they are in group window. Seems to happen at other "ratios" between unit window zoom and group window zoom, eg. certain combinations of zooms seem to trigger that bug in other situations than the 1x unit window. Haven't been able to 100% reproduce a list of such zoom settings, but could give it a try, if it's needed.

I've had a problem using victory conditions requiring a kill of 25 aircraft of specific sub type (attack). I don't know if this is a bug or just me, any one seen this sort of thing? Any one think of something I might be doing wrong? If I reduce the number to 5 it works or if I change it to 25 aircraft (any type) it works.?? Don Thomas

Didn't have this problem before, don't know if its going to be a corrupted save or something else.

HCE - 2008.034 ============== - Chg:0000 GE Fix requesting information from the Torpedo annex without that annex data being loaded from the database. (thanks Akula) http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=2797 i.e. Make sure Akula's save loads and plays for a few seconds.

HCE - 2008.035 ============== - Chg:0000 GE And then fix the next bug that surfaces, trying to errantly read a diskID as an memID in Torpedo annex. http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=2797
