Ok Pokie and gang !

Have a new problem with my map....
It seems that base capture can be done by just bombing the map room. I don't mean with alot of heavy Bombs either.

Read all i can get to in the TE, but really doesn't tell me anything about HARDNESS and what it should be for what objects.

What should I be looking for ?

Hawk52 did you run the Object Report because it sounds like the MPR ( MAPTBL1 shape ) has its "Can Collide" box checked which the Object Report would have ( should have ) told you.

The MPR0 ( MAPTBL1 shape ) and the VOD# ( MPRM1 shape ) have there "Can Collide" box unchecked.

Yep..checked all that when I had to redo some of the Map rooms.
all are uchecked, have no error in the map rooms.

Tested some of the bases offline, I could not capture in this manner.
Could we have a H2H bug ?

We play the map in H2H pretty heavy, almost always a full room.
Operated as a MiniMain, ongoing war. All Damage and captures are carried over to the next session.

Do you have towns attached to these airfields?

Quote

Territory is gained by capturing a field. A field consists of an airfield, vehicle field, or port and an adjacent town. The town is situated 2-3 miles from the field or port and contains the strategic map room for the entire field. All buildings in the town must be destroyed before attempting to capture the field. Destroyed town buildings will stay down for 45 minutes, during which time 10 troops must be delivered to the map room via one of the troop carriers to capture the field. After the tenth troop safely makes it into the map room, a system message will appear in the message buffer announcing the captured field number and the capturing country.

Very few of the bases have towns, most have the map room in the base itself.

haven't had a chance to retest since the AH109 update.
Some of the players are having trouble with the update, so was no room play today:(

Thanks for your help.

The patch failed for me, had to download full version. Game works now.

Thanks for your help, couldn't get this done without your help.
Changing the screen res to 1024x768 corrected my other map problem. Now i have at least a start on the next map.

This is my week to travel for the company, so you get a week off from questions from me lol

Sure I'll have more when i get back.

You'll have to come into H2H and play my first map, or I can e-mail it to you, let you give me some Input.

Looked at your location, your not that far away, I'm just south of ya in Maine

Thanks again
