HCE - 2009.022

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

- Chg:0000 GE When prompted to choose a group to land at, highlight the

home base of the first plane in the air group by default if

the home base still exists. (thanks Akula and others)

- Chg:0099 GE Added debug logging to help track down the occasional problem

of not being able to click on the map to select an enemy

group for attack. The various messages are...

1) Group YWp clicked outside of select Group dialog

2) Group ZCS clicked inside of select Group dialog

3) Group AGU clicked but not valid for this operation

4) No Group was clicked

When launching an LR attack, 2) is the proper message and

should result in the enemy group being selected. 1) you

should get when clicking on a group to give orders. 3)

should happen when you are launching a LR attack and click

on a friendly group. 4) is pretty self explanatory and will

happen in many situations.

We're interested in hearing what result you get when the

map clicking becomes unresponsive, rather than 2), what

happens?

Easy testing for this build.

YAY! I'll give this a go tomorrow when I'm not half asleep.

URGENT!

Something about this beta is causing White Screen Of Death in Vista.

If I click on any airbase in any battleset and try to Ferry aircraft, I get the Main Executable Stop Working message.

I'm going back to see what else triggers this.

I've included my small test scenario to work with.

INTTEST2.zip

OK, might not be SO urgent.

All other aircraft options (Attack, Patrol, and Intercept) work as they should. It's only the Ferry choice that crashes the program.

On the brighter side, all the other fixes work as advertised, but until the problem above is repaired, I don't want to confirm them as fixed.

I hope this isn't a just @#$&* Vista-related problem!

nice catch Wombat, fixed in 2009.023, please continue to confirm these as fixed. And no, it isn't a Vista-related problem, you guys are funny

Sort of fixed in .023. I launched a Ferry mission that discovered armor along the way. Up to that point, Land Aircraft sent me to the original base. After I attacked the armor, Land Aircraft selected the Ferry base.

 

Saved game "Ferry" shows ACA from AAa en route to ABa, before discovering the enemy armor.

 

A minor inconvienence, whatever OS it is.

The various messages show up as stated, but this is still an elusive bug. Everytime I have it happen and try to save it, the save refuses to repeat the problem. What I've seen so far is that a non-response from the map triggers Answer #4.

 

I'm going to play with my test scenario and see if I can consistently trigger it.

Yes, it's there.

I think I got it.

 

1) Run my test program INTTEST2 in EC2003 GIUK at 1 second compression.

2) Launch 4 F4S on a Ferry mission to ABa.

3) Launch the E3 to Patrol due north of ABa to the edge of the red AA circle.

4) Launch 4 F16C/D Block 30/32 to Patrol midway between Red ZZb and ZYb.

5) Light up everybody's air and surface search radars and go to 5 second compression.

6) When the Red helos show up, click the 4 F16s and get the "Group AEA clicked outside of select Group dialog" message.

7) Click either Red helo. It is unselectable with the "No Group was clicked" message.

The Screenshot shows after clicking Red Helo ZSH.

I think I got it.

 

I think you do too, it is repeatable here, please copy your comments and test scen to Brad's issue report. Even better it is working as I play in the debugger so maybe with some luck we can squash this one, once the hockey game is over...

It's done.

My 2 cents is that this is an indeterminate state during a ferry mission and is okay behavior. Anyone who disagrees speak now or hold your peace until the next opportunity.
