TFW: SAS = Undisciplined and lying

[Patrick Proctor]

Make sure that the unit has more than one node. Start path planning for a unit and then right-click and drag to place the second node. This node is its destination. THEN turn the unit's first node to a "go-node" and it will go to the destination you have set.

Without a destination, a unit just stops.

Hi, guys. How are ya?

I'm re-playing the Tutorial. Some things I believe I can attribute to "Commander Error" on my part. But I'm hoping you will clear up some questions I have. I just took notes while playing the Tutorial:

1) changing formations stops a unit. After formation change, heirarchy must be ordered to "Go" even if current and next Node is "go".

2) POSITIONS of distant nodes adjust in relation to movement of heirarchy; position but not arrangement

3) must Stop game to issue "Go/No-Go" order to heirarchies; otherwise order will be disregarded.


4) Clicking "Stop" in either Menu bar or context-sensitive menu shows all heirarchies as stopped (Stop Sign) even when units are not stopped/still moving. These heirarchies were never ordered to stop.


5) Attack Time descriptive text incomplete/cut-off

6) NGFO is the only heirarchy which will display the correct node status: "Go" when moving; "No-Go" when stopped. Other heirarchies always display "No-Go", even when moving.

7) I must check again, but I believe, after assigning a mission to one of my heirarchies (Mobility Troop: Assault), the assigned path was cleared out. This despite my ordering that they follow the current path.

When I find an app to take screenshots while running TFW--FRAPS will not work ) I'll post a better AAR.

Thanks for the spot report!

Most useful to us is a savedgame, showing the situation. Just save the game before the repeatable error occurs, and then e-mail that saved game file (you can find it in the Savegame folder) to:

techsupport@prosimco.com

Along with some instructions on how to recreate the error.

Thanks again.

SaveGame sent.

Thanks! We'll take a crack at it. WE HATE BUGS!!
