ALCON -

Working on a scenario and trying to troubleshoot some issues with VP values. I've made quite a few changes including locations and values of VPs. They change OK in the editor, but when I actually start the scenario in a game, the values are incorrect.

The values also show up in a dump. But when I click on the hex, the game says there is no value or the value is null.

Any help would be appreciated.

Values can only be allocated when there is a formation objective... Put a formation objective on the hexes in question and you should be able to add / delete the value of the hex, then delete the formation objective

Yeah. Kind of a mystery how you got the values there in the first place, but I'd put my money on something like that. The hexes need to be objectives for some formation, or the program will get upset.

I didn't think the in-game screen was even possible. Any chance you're using an external editor? ODD? The one from Parmenio? Regardless, the scenario file may be corupted in some fashion.

Thanks guys - I think I might have fixed the problem.

Looked in the manual <gasp> and found how to reset all VPs. It seems to have worked...
