Vehicle fields, ports and zones.

[Easyscor]

Thanks Dux, I hadn't seen that.

To make a long story short, I porked my test terrain and called Skuzzy and confirmed that all fields need to be set as Group Masters and the Object Data field determines if they're Airfields, Vehicle Bases or Ports.  He walked me through the steps, I'm still learning something everyday.

IIRC I've had trouble setting the Object Data field when Group Master was first selected so it's something I want to look into while building a new test terrain from scratch. It's about time I build a new one anyway, my old one is a mess.

And yeah, I wonder about that dropdown list too, having it active when you select Group Master would confirm you're supposed to use Group Master and set the field type.  Maybe in the next revision...

Cool, got everything sussed so it would seem 4 airfields, 2 ports, 2 CVs and 2 zones. Everythings labeled correctly and functioning ok.
Problem turned out to be zones were too close together and some erroneous object data.

Thanks to everyone that offered advice.

Cheers

One tiny problem...When a CV group gets destroyed it stays where it is and then seems to regenerate after a certain time. What am I missing to enable it to return to where it started from and respawn??

Thanks again in advance for any help

Have you set an initial route for the CV group where it spawns?

No I haven't, it is stationary at the start of the map.

Try setting an initial route, even if it's very small.

I have set an initial route but on the object checker it is saying that my 2 opposing CVs have no map room!!

They do need a map room. Look at any map and you'll find map rooms way off in a corner somewhere. Those are the CV map rooms.

Ok I'll sort that out. Meanwhile I added 2 new airfields to my map and labeled them correctly, zoned them, allocated them bish and knight correctly (h2h map) but the new airfields are either coming up wrong country or it changes original fields countries. I've double checked everything too, is this a glitch in the TE?

Whenever you make changes to field ownership, exit the TE and restart before building. At least that's what I've found.
