HCE - 2007.023

==============

- Chg:0000 GE Prevent potential crash when launching weapon with long name

- Chg:0000 GE Allow battlesets with zero scenarios, no more crashing

- Chg:0000 GE Upon scenario load, suppress the orders window if no orders

are available, go straight into the game.

- Chg:0000 GE Refueling manually will now replace any existing refueling

events that haven't started to transfer fuel. The aim is

to prevent an inability to manually refuel (i.e. the command

is given but no refuel occurs until much later).

- Chg:0000 GE Let BOL weapons hit anybody, including player ships.

- Chg:0000 BSB Fix controls alignment on scenarios tab so they behave when

the form is resized.

- Chg:0000 BSB Re-ordered the controls in the program so the tab key usage

makes a little more sense.

- Chg:0000 BSB Expanded logging to cover entire program.

- Chg:0000 BSB Added a most simple facility for saving and loading battleset

settings.

- Chg:0000 BSB Prevent error about invalid float when manually entering a

Lat or Lon value.

- Nfo:0000 BSB Determined that the map creation utilities do not know how

to make a map from Iceland as a Western boundary to

the USA as an Eastern boundary. This needs to be remedied.

 

So, test your BOL stuff, in my test case, a Harpoon happily impacted a neutral ship. The battleset builder does quite a bit more logging into BSBuilder.log. I tried non-square maps without success at this time. Wrapping around the world the long way also does not work when crossing the international date line. We may have to beg Bret for a fix to that last one.

- Chg:0000 GE Upon scenario load, suppress the orders window if no orders

are available, go straight into the game.

 

- Chg:0000 GE Let BOL weapons hit anybody, including player ships.

 

 

Works.....

 

Will test refuling an BSB Stuff later

Tanker issues with 2007.023 GE:

 

[1. When refueling is complete, player is prompted to land the just refueled group (not the tanker) at a friendly airfield.] Scratch this one. Further testing has shown that although the just refueled group may be the one displayed, the group that is actually being prompted to land is indeed the tanker.

 

2. Sometimes, but not always, player will receive a message indicating that there are no suitable airfields within range at which to land.

 

3. I was running the EC2003 Atlantic 'Stampede' scenario.

btt to revise 'Tanker problem' post, which see...

- Chg:0000 BSB Fix controls alignment on scenarios tab so they behave when

the form is resized.

- Chg:0000 BSB Re-ordered the controls in the program so the tab key usage

makes a little more sense.

 

- Chg:0000 BSB Added a most simple facility for saving and loading battleset

settings.

- Chg:0000 BSB Prevent error about invalid float when manually entering a

Lat or Lon value.

 

 

Seems to work.

 

But the error about floating points is still there
