Default Re: WinSPMBT v 3.0 Bug?

You are probably being confused by the fix to the code to stop recce by fire. In the original games there was no replay at all, so messages could happily be "broadcast" as there was no chance the OPFOR could see them.When replay was added in SP2 (not SP1) - these were left as broadcast messages available to the other side on replay.

So we have pruned these recce by fire messages somewhat, allowing for the unfortunate fact that all SP messages are type broadcast. In general, a unit has to be spotted for a message (or things like the orange hit circles) to be shown.

Hits on unspotted units will not result in messages for your opponent to get recce by shelfire" therefore.

And if you use fast arty - then plenty of messages will be skipped by that routine as well.

Cheers
Andy
