Status: offline 		Hi folks. I'm coming late to the party here. Haven't been on the forums in a while, and I was excited to discover a new beta patch. This game just gets better all of the time!

I have searched all of the notes, and I can't find an explanation for the "*" next to some LCU's on the ground units screen. Also, I see some transports now have a -t (i.e. xAK-t) appended to their type. Can anyone clue me in as to what these mean?

Thanks

"*" this mean units is a part of bigger unit like Division etc. and if condition are meet in can rebuild. Enter unit and click "unit organization of..." button, it will show what other units are required to rebuild.

-t this mean that ship is modified to transport troops. Normal cargo ships also can transport troops but capacity is smaller. -t is used also for subs that can transport troops.

Status: offline 		One thing that bugs me a bit is that you can land LCUs from a transport TF (= LCUs arrive in strat movement mode), change movement mode to combat or move and give movement orders - and the LCUs start moving in the new movement mode immediately, although they are still labelled "unpacking". Movement starts even when part of the units are still aboard the ships. IMO the LCUs should start moving only after unloading and unpacking is complete?

I agree, and even on land after train movement

It would be very helpful to have a option somewhere on the Port Management screen to see what ships have allowable conversions. Maybe this could be an option on the Upgrades screen?

Thanks.

I think its a much better game with the patch, now I just need to convince AirGriff of it so we can use it in the current PBEM Game.

I agree. Many people miss the point there are far fewer issues with the Beta than with the latest official, or than with any of the officials.

Status: offline 		I have added a EXE to http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3541548#
It fixes some issues with docked TFs and size of ship/TF, and possible Fast Trans TF.
Just unzip the file into the beta directory and use the beta shortcut.

I'll make a full installer later as I still want to see how the FT TF behaves first.

Yep, me too, with the 'v' beta. I strat a unit to a city; the unit arrives. I switch to 'move' mode and set a destination. The unit starts moving immediately, even though it has 1 or 2 or more days of unpacking remaining. It is convenient for getting units there faster, but somehow I doubt that moving while unpacking is WAD.

As far as I recall it's been that way forever, didn't start with any Beta.

Not saying it shouldn't be fixed at some point, but this isn't a problem the beta started.

I can second this. I have moved into a PBEM game with AirGriff without the Beta and while we have not had any game breaking bugs hit us yet I miss some of the features to streamline the game the Beta had.

Post #2 in this thread has the full change log. It's all there. Press Ctrl-F and type in each term above.

In my opinion there isn't any good reason to not upgrade at this point. The additional features and game play enhancements far outweigh any potential downside.
My game has been solid upgraded through multiple versions of the beta.

Looked up the code, and unpack/pack only affects strategic move before unit starts moving. If unit is in non-strategic mode, then it will start moving even still 'unpacking'.
--
Logically, it seems that un/packing should apply to strat-2-other rather than just other-2-strat. Not sure if this is a defect.
I'm going to remove the mode check and just not move if un/pack is not zero.
Any objections or reasons why this wont work?

None by me. Think that should be correct.
