Title: Problem with new map
Post by: grumpy37 on December 10, 2010, 09:20:24 AM
Not sure if i should put this here or in the bug forum but here it goes.  F8 view mode does not work in the towers, any of them.  Ack guns, radar towers, hangers  etc etc can not be destroyed.  I rolled a tank to a GV base trying to spark some action and i got double track by the ack.  I could not kill any of the guns.  Then i had Vulchy strafing me so he could get an easy kill, imagine that.  So i sat there for almost 15 minutes with the ack hitting me from all sides waiting for a tank to spawn.  2 more planes came and strafed me.  While I was trying to shoot them down with my main gun either the ack finally got me or someone upped a tank and killed me.

I rolled a T-34 and was able to kill ack....... although each gun emplacement I hit, after exploding, the buffer read "town building destroyed".  I will assume you were firing HE rounds. So I know something wasnt quite right, was still fun.

Thanks guys, I'll look into it. The funny thing is that it was working for me when I was in the arena Wed night.  :confused:

Okay, the F8 view thing is an arena setting issue. Try F3+F8.

It looks like the terrain needs to be reload, and the whole arena initialization routine followed to fix the bases. The objects have been scrambled, with my V-base town buildings being everything from barracks to guns. lol

I remember that Skuzzy built it and left it running but it was never set up properly. I think that reloading it will fix it. At least that's what I'd do in the SEA.

I've always used F3 (external) or F5 (bird's eye) and then F8 (view slewing) when on the ground in a plane/gun/tower.
