HCE - 2008.037

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

- Chg:0000 GE Fix bug in 2008.036 mouse click depth that wasn't taking into

account when a group was being clicked (doh!)(thanks Brad)

- Chg:0000 SE When mouse is clicked and shows distance on status bar, show

water depth. Only for Group window at present.

 

HCE - 2008.036

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

- Chg:0000 GE Move the unit/group icon graphic out of Harpoon32.dll and into

the Graphics subdirectory of the game.

- Chg:2021 GE Tentative fix to non-air groups being asked to fire AAMs at air

groups. The situation is a surface group with fighters in

formation. If the incoming attacker comes into range of the

fighters in formation, the ships of that group would want

to fire SAMs. That isn't allowed, so the fix is to prompt

the player to form an intercept group from the formation

patrols.

- Chg:0000 GE When mouse is clicked and shows distance on status bar, show

water depth at the most recently clicked point on the map.

Only for Group window at present.

 

Brad has already verified the mouse click items, that leaves Mantis 2021 (Rene has a saved game here in the beta area), and the unit/group icon being in a separate bitmap (i.e. modify the bitmap and make sure you get what you expect...). Graphics directory, GR_ICONS.BMP

With the all-deepest regret I had to determine that the error was repaired

Seems as if the new dialog pops for airgroups not assigned to a carriergroup.....

 

So it needs more testing...

I don't think I understand what you are saying. If you mean plane groups not part of the 'target' group are listed in the intercept screen, I don't understand how that is wrong or bad. Can you elaborate?

Result

 

This has been tested by myself with the ship icon and works fantastically.

 

Check the below image...

 

 

Also attached to this mail is a copy of the file which I have edited... feel free to use it..

 

I am planning on perhaps revamping the symbols for my own taste and releasing as a mod when the patch is officially released. See what you think of the ship symbol in the picture

Blue airgroup HSA gets red airgroup zba in range.

 

But the dialog pops up for airgroup AA25 wich is xxx miles away...

I only by chance and circumstance understand what you meant after aimlessly wasting time in the provided save, look for a fix in the next build. I am not impressed by the effort required to try and pry meaning from this report, way too difficult.
