Re: Engineers laying mines
 

Wow, sorry to have to tell you this Don, but right now I don't have the game running and cannot have. I'm far from home and my computer for some more months, typing this on a corporate network workstation on which I can barely run the editing tools.

The crash I was reporting occured some time ago already, IIRC it was even on DOS-SPMBT, so maybe no concern anymore?
Anyway the problem may have been linked to rthe fact that the weapon I had put to range=0 was one of those "illegal" NLWs some of which came up (I was actually testing and adapting Listy's OOB), finding that 50m-range truncheons were quite ambitious.

So as you said about in a post about non-lethal weapons, the HEK=0 may be the cause to it. Sadly I cannot run the tests ATM.
As you may have guessed I didn't ever come across the weapons you mentionned, so as other NLWs were tested to work correctly I thought that was linked to the range. Lack of method from my part.

OK, NO problem. We've tested it on our machines and had no problem. I just wanted you to try it just in case we missed something but there are only two units in the entire game that use that weapon and I'm betting 98% of the people will never used them so it's really a bit of a non issue really.

**If** it turns out this IS a problem on some machines we can fix it after WinSPWW2 is done but I'm betting right now it was a combination of issues that casued the problem and being DOS-SPMBT was probably the main one.

The patch is ready. It's at Shrapnel now and should be released this week sometime.

The patch installer is 12mb

OK, thanks Don, I really didn't want to be the cause for a delay in the issuing of the patch!

I'll try all that again when I have the opportunity, in case there would be something behind it, but anyway that'll be for when you guys are ready to take up work on SPMBT again, which I wouldn't dream of forcing you into considered what you have already achieved!

Same for the patch, I'll tend to stick to what Pepper said: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif more or less. That should be the final adition to tons of terrific work, I can't wait to see it!

Congratulations once again
