Vietnam v0.8 bug reports

Post by Snake Man » 2007-01-13 06:48:43

Vietnam v0.8 bug reports
This includes the original installer and any conversions (we can spot some bugs even from conversions).

There was the original Vietnam SP v0.8 PUBLIC BETA topic which initial bugs were reported, but now I want to gather all bugs on all forums into this one topic.

I will update this topic as necessary when new bugs are reported.

--- bugs
- takhli airbase not leveled (perhaps many many more?).
- invulnerable mig17 bug. its [damage by XX weapon] values are all zero
- only mig-17's fly in the theater, not selectable?
- aim7E2 explosion type should be AIR, or no damage to mig21mf/pmf.
- terrain tiles need a upgrade
- no feature (road/river) data for hainan/china.

--- fixes v0.9
- removed all A2G weapons from NVNAM aircrafts (RV database).
- added Bien Hoa (bein hoa) airbase, not leveled yet.
- tweaked historical campaigns, added new aircrafts.
- tweaked fictional present day campaign.
- added two new fictional campaigns to present day theater.

Since I did v0.8 there has been no new data available (to my knowledge) for hainan and china. If someone has the data or can instruct me where to get or how to convert it, please tell me.

Data

Post by ranger822 » 2007-01-18 19:38:13

I think Zaggy/Blueprint fixed some data - - posted it a while a ago. I think that I may have it somewhere but need to check. If you can't get it just make something up - and not worry about it. Those areas weren't use that much - so it is a bug/issue but the really important attention should be paid further south - Hanoi, Haiphong Harbor, Mig Alley -- and of course the airbases - -

The biggest bug/issue I have with Vietnam is the terrain. It really needs more, new, and better tiles - like 256 and 512. Myabe you will consider using the Cuba Theater tiles to work with?

China Data

Post by ranger822 » 2007-01-19 14:53:06

I seem to be wrong - I didn't find any corrected data on China. It is for Russian.

Rick Prior did some sort of fix for China data - I think the towns, roads, rivers, airbases etc were missing or something - I am not sure but I think he did some thing to get it to work properly for MacFalcon. It has been almost two years now so details are a bit fuzzy.

I do have Rick's China. However, the work we did was for Taiwan so our L2 probably won't be very useful for Vietnam :(

I think its far more better to leave the terrain empty of features instead just "make up" stuff.

I guess we could take CATE bitmap painting config and just roughly free-hand paint the largest roads and rivers there, to give some point of how the country is setup... but still, I don't know...

Where could I get sample of these tiles?
Who made them?

Okay found Bein Hoa airbase, its north east from Saigon, just north west from Sanford airbase. Its now added and two F-100D squadrons placed there.

Checked into adding A-37's if they are working on the database, but at least in RV db they did not appear as flyable aircraft, dunno if it was just VALIDAC.ACT thing or not working at all. So I decided to leave them out for now. If anyone has any knowledge about A-37B's, please let me know.
