CENTAG 78 still ok under latest version
 

I resurrected an old 1.5 campaign CENTAG 78. Still works and has aged nicely under the latest game engine changes. Some minor oddities, ZSU-23/4 shows up as a mobile SAM launcher, but nothing show stopping. I've been looking for more Cold War stuff, esp., Fulda Gap and Cavalry type actions, and it's great this one stills works.

Hmmm...I'm not familiar with this campaign, but please do post it here.

This should not be a problem to work around or apply a fix.

Run the scenarios through Scenhack and fix the problems that show up and rebuild it and post it here as campaign 17 and if people like it I'll put it in the next patch.....so sooner is better than later

Hi Folks - I pulled it down a long time ago from the Wargamer file depot. As far as I can tell, this is the creation of one Robert F. Mendoza, there's an HTML file with an e-mail address. I'll certainly be happy to put up the file, but I'm not savvy enough with the utilities to be able to fix it. Perhaps someone more skilled would like to take the opportunity? I also imagine we'll need the author's blessing to mod it?

Post it and I'll have a look at it

Re: CENTAG 78 still ok under latest version
 

Sure thing. I can't find it anymore on Wargamer, here is the copy that I kept. Thanks!

OK, I'm right in the middle of some code work so I'll look at this later today or tomorrow

Here is a revised for 2015 copy of CENTAG 78 .

I HOPE there are no issues with it due to OOB changes because I rebuilt it using the next release OOB's. There were a number of minor OOB problems that showed up since it was first created. One scenario had over 50 units with issues another had at least 40 but a couple only a few. If anyone wishes to playtest........ please do. I hope these changes that I had to make due to OOB differences don't affect gameplay with last years OOB's........ I don't think they will but, it's possible.

The ONLY thing I did was replace problem units with new ones. I have not altered the troops set up at all

ATTACHMENT REMOVED UNTIL ISSUES ARE SORTED OUT

Re: CENTAG 78 still ok under latest version
 

Is this suppose to have Core units?
I was given 49,950 points to buy units with.

Re: CENTAG 78 still ok under latest version
 

I can see the core in the first scenario when it's loaded as a standalone scenario and I can see the units in Scenhack , it's only 24 units

but when the campaign is loaded it's not showing up and nothing is showing up if you have points set to XXX ( in the original ) so IDK if I'm going to find the time to sort this one out or not. I'm right in the middle of two more pressing issues. I thought ( HA !! )this could be a quick fix with scenhack but apparently thinking that was my first mistake.

it will be at least a day before I can even think about looking into this further but if someone with more campaign building experience wants to dig into the original and get this sorted out... good luck
