chiphart -> Alpha Scen testers wanted (and questions!) (12/8/2001 1:52:00 AM)
Howdy! I have a scen that is nearly complete and I'm looking for some reasonable alpha-testers (I'll release the beta). It's no work of art, but I think it's safe to say that it's...different from what you normally see. I'm delighted to send a copy of the scen to the first five people who reply to `chip@pcc.com`; after that, I hope to incorporate any sensical suggestions. To give you an idea of the lack of historical realism I hoped to achieve, the name of this scen is...Godzilla Island! In the meantime, I have two problems I cannot seem to fix: I've loaded up some Douglas' to drop all kinds of people in during certain rounds. However, they still appear as units when it's my turn. That is, as I go n/n/n through my units, they appear - though not on the map, nor can I do anything with them. Anyone know what I'm talking about? For the life of me, I can't get certain victory hexes to stick. The hexes are pretty important in this scen and it's as if only some of them will stay - I've checked to ensure that these aren't "appearing" hexes. I've saved and re-saved the map AND the scen. Any ideas here? [/list] Either way, thanks!

This is similar to off map artillery that you can n/n/n through but they aren't on the map and you can do anything with them (other than call fire with the B key).

Boy, I could have sworn that paratroopers in other scens didn't appear - but thanks for letting me know I'm not missing something.

I recall that trick from back around v2 or so. thanks, John.

Two comments about that suggestion: There is a substantial river through the scen already - I presume that should be it? The map is self-generated, so I don't know what you mean by "custom" VHs. They're all custom! [/list] Thanks, either way! I appreciate the help.
