Warcab 0.8.0 BETA version

[Lomaster]

Wow, the functionality is already quite impressive.
Here is a couple of issues i've got right off the bat:

1) When i try to add a savegame from a battle different from the battle already added to the dossier i get an error: SpSv004.dat: SPWERR_NOMATCH_CORECNT: player formation or unit core count does not match I can add multiple savegames of the same battle (different turns of one battle of a campaign) but cannot add another battle of the same campaign.
Judging from the error text - it does not accept my expanding the core between the battles.

2) Strategic is limited in displaying heightmap. Seems like the maximum value is 40 or 50. Which makes mountainous locations like Italy look like plateau, not mountains.

Hi Lomaster,

Thanks for your feedback and thanks for the praise!

Let me try to answer your questions:

1) Yes, currently Warcab requires the total number of core units to stay fixed during
the campaign. This makes it easier to keep track of each unit throughout the campaign.

It could be this assumption is too strict, I don't know. I don't have much experience
with long campaigns (or winSPWW2 for that matter).

You are now the second user who is hitting this issue. The other user has already sent
me a dossier file, some savegames and the OOB files. As soon as I have some free
time I will look into it.

2) You are right that the stratmap is currently limited to heights of about 35 meters.
That's just because winSPWW2 support is new for Warcab, previously it only supported
"that other game" which is indeed limited in the heights that it supports.

I am planning to look into this as a further improvement, but it's not yet high priority,
my first goal is to get the basic functionality working correctly...

Hey Lomaster,

As I said, I don't have experience with long campaigns, so forgive me this additional
question , it might help me find solutions for that unexpected error you encountered
(the SPWERR_NOMATCH_CORECNT).

I understand now that core units are sometimes added during a campaign, but does
the inverse also happen? Core units that are removed during the campaign?
