HCE - 2009.021

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

- Chg:0000 GE Updated list of beta testers.

- Chg:B092 GE When a surface/sub group is given a stop order, keep it stopped.

Previously group speed could be restored to the last known

non-zero speed. This was a side effect of the code that

returns a group to the ordered speed once units reach their

newly assigned formation patrol positions (i.e. group slowed

down as a whole after new formation assignments, when the

ships got to their new stations, the group would return to

the ordered speed). Added code to say that if the group

speed is zero, no formation patrol event will be able to

set the group to a non-zero speed. This does not prevent

the player or AI from giving the group an order to move again.

- Chg:B079 GE Fixed wrapping of moderate length classnames. Very long classnames

however will still wrap. (thanks Herman)

- Chg:B071 GE Dipping sonars and sonobuoy dropping can once again happen from Low or

VLow, not just VLow. This is the quick fix, not the right fix. Larry

is correct that the documentation states VLow for dipping. However,

finding and changing the code in all of the right places poses a

danger not currently worth the risk (the danger of making more

and new problems). (thanks Herman)

- Chg:B103 SE More properly disable the "Set Air Patrol" button when zooming into and

out of the main body of the formation editor. (thanks Herman)

- Chg:0000 SE Fixed a bug I (TonyE) created in 2009.015 that resulted in aircraft

ending up on the wrong ships when editing a group. (thanks Akula)

- Chg:0000 GE Updated list of beta testers.

True.

The Beta Team members don't line up absolutely neatly.

Is Trybec part of Ralf?

I ran the test scenario with Beta .021 and the convoy stays put until ordered to move.

This is fixed.

- Chg:B079 GE Fixed wrapping of moderate length classnames. Very long classnames

however will still wrap. (thanks Herman)

http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...&showbug=79

 

This is still fixed with Beta .021.

Longer classnames (i.e. those that don't fit entirely within the box outline) seem more to be truncated rather than wrap.

- Chg:B071 GE Dipping sonars and sonobuoy dropping can once again happen from Low or

VLow, not just VLow. This is the quick fix, not the right fix. Larry

is correct that the documentation states VLow for dipping. However,

Whatever fix it is, it works as stated with the test scenario.

Clicking a Blue helo with the yellow sonar ring in the Unit window and getting a Full report will show that the sonar is active.

Thanks, I've pulled two commas out of my bag of spare punctuation marks, one for Trybec, one for Werdahl.
