briantopp -> The editor: Selective greying out of units (10/12/2010 1:47:09 AM)

A possible bug report: The editor seems to selectively and randomly grey out units. The two with this problem can't be selected in the editor and aren't visible on the map (I can email you some screens if you'd like).

Non selectable items are typically a grey color while selectable items are the color they are supposed to be.

Thanks Panama, but I was aware of that.
This problem may be addressed by checking the OOB in XML

Here is one unit "greyed out"

And there's no way of deleting and reintroducing them using the editor I bet.

It looks the same in formation view? -clicking the star button



briantopp -> RE: The editor: Selective greying out of units (10/14/2010 2:45:38 AM)

Ok I have figured out how this happened.

Both "Dora" and "Joseph" were single-element units (in Dora's case, an 800-mm rail gun, in Joseph's case, a single civilian).

And somehow, in the course of editing, both were zeroed - i.e. became 0/1 in the equipment display.

And when that happens, they become "ghost units" in the OOB and cannot be directly selected or edited. However, Silvanski's suggestion of looking at them in the formation view let to the solution -- although thesde units didn't appear directly in the formation view, I was able to call up the last unit of the preceeding formation, and then "single unit forward" into Dora and Joseph, and then correct the unit.
