OOB 30 Canada

DRG · #1 May 1st, 2007, 09:45 AM

Well Cam it's too bad this wasn't noticed a few days ago. The patch has been uploaded to Shrapnel and I'm waiting for it to be posted and I'm not calling a halt to it and rebuilding a 30MB patch for this.

FYI, the sounds you hear when unit 532 fires are "standard" sounds for a .30cal browning type MG in the game and are used in dozens of other OOB's so that unit does not have a problem. The same sounds in reverse order are used in unit 531. Unit 96, on the other had IS a problem and so is 92. Unit 538 and 539 also have a incorrect sound applied to the hand grenades but most people will never notice. These are normally the type of things that get corrected and fall into the "many other tweaks and adjustments" category. They'll just have to wait for the next patch now

Sorry I missed this, I have not been paying much attention to this forum lately and only realized 1 week ago that winSPWW2 had been patched. Real life has been interfering with my gaming schedule

Thanks again for using my stuff in these patches, everything looks great!

Don/Andy
There is a serious error in the new 3.5 version OOB30.
You are unable to buy any FO unit bc all the formations are looking for the FO class in unit slot 246 where it was before. Now there is an assault boat unit there and the first FO is listed in slot 250. This change did not come from my OOB. I was careful to make sure I didn't move any existing units around. Please check this out as soon as you can as it makes the OOB quite unplayable.

Cheers

Haven't checked it myself yet but you can always use the 'allies' button to get a similar FO unit from another OB (oh let's say the british

)as a makeshift fix.

True, Hadn't thought of that!

The reason there is an assault boat in unit slot 246 is because the game EXPECTS to find an assault boat in slot 246 in EVERY OOB and for years there had been a FOO in the Canadian OOB in that slot. I guess NOBODY ever tried a river assault with that OOB otherwise I would have heard about all the FOOS that were generated on the map instead of assault boats. I fixed that old error and forgot to fix the FOO formation. S**T happens.

The 3.5 patch was issued, probably too quickly, to tie up loose ends because I didn't want to leave things like not being able to delete core formations from campaigns unfixed and there were a lot of OOB errors in 3.0 that I thought should have been fixed but really this all should have waited until after the summer because quite frankly both Andy and I are somewhat way beyond fed up with the game ATM so best balance what was accomplished with 3.5 with what would have been left undone if we hadn't issued 3.5. Sometime in the fall we'll probably look at this. In the mean time I would suggest opening up MOBHack and fixing it yourself. There are degrees of what a "serious error " is and I can assure you that this is not a "serious" error
