Bug Reports: SEDB32F, MP4 v4.710, SEDCS v3.2.15

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Please put all bug reports for the Sept 2010 release in this thread.

By the way, we are aware that the SEOW Wiki site is down. Katana is working on it right now.

Cheers,

To kick this off, let me report the current status of the Highways and Railways network data. This post is intended to be a word of caution for template designers, not to be a "name and shame" for map contributors. Collectively, we have worked very hard to clean these tables up, but we could not complete the entire job in time for this release. One metric of the status of the respective networks is to calculate the percentage of "bad intersections" in each sector. A bad intersection is where a road/rail route enters the intersection at node #2 of the route. In SEOW, no road/rail route should have less than 3 nodes, therefore every route should reach an interesection at either node 1 or node>2.

Here is a table showing the bad intersection statistics in the SEDB32F release. Given that SEOW now supports 68 maps, you can see that 2/3 of all sectors are rated as clean (they do not appear at all) by this particular metric. Dore, Hawk_5 and others have killed many bad intersections in the last year!!



Some listed sectors have only a small amount of bad intersections, less than 1% of all intersections, but others, namely Central Med and Moscow have high percentages for their road networks, and English Channel and Kuban for their rail networks. Campaign designers may take note of these statistics when planning campaigns. Hopefully over time these networks will be fixed. This aspect is, by far, the most labour-intensive part of SEOW map building.

Also, it is worth noting that the bad intersection metric cannot capture all possible errors in network building. Since networks have been contributed by a variety of authors over the last 7 years, it is hard to enforce standards. However, we do note that the road/rail network fidelity is improving as more campaigns are played, and ground/rail movement seems to work reliably in most sectors.

Great job Mike. I don't know how you built this, but, perhaps have you some more details? (e.g. coordinates or road numbers...) I would like to check some maps I have captured
A few monthes (years?) ago, you gave us a sql request to build this table. I'm not able to locate the post, could you give it again?

Many thanks!

Hi Dore,

To list all bad road intersection routes:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM Highway_Intersections WHERE Waypoint_Number=2 ORDER BY Map;

To list all bad rail intersection routes:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM Railway_Intersections WHERE Waypoint_Number=2 ORDER BY Map;

To rebuild Highway_Intersections:

Code: Select all

To rebuild Railway_Intersections:

The last two queries are MySQL-specific (don't use with MSAccess).

One issue in Bay of Biscay database --> Army_Units table --> Campaign_Sector field:

Biscay instead of Bay of Biscay

Here is correct Army_Units_Bay_of_Biscay table

I tried new Unit Management functions: Wonderful!

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Sorry JP After all your work on Biscay! At least it is easy to fix!

FYI all, I have recaptured Moscow and Manchuria highway routes and corrected any route errors found.
We'll get through them eventually.

Hello Shades;

Resupply menù (admin>Manage)
Clicking on AIR FORCES to switch on ARMY you find again AIR FORCE; clicking again you switch RAILWAYS; the ARMY option is no more available;

Demolition orders;
clicking the Commit Changes Yellow Button seems to have no effects

[22GCT_Gross]

Mission Planner:
Selecting any unit, right mouse click>Change Location, Bearing Unit> you always have the following message after confirmation of Y coord: "New location out of Command and Control range - rejected"

[PA-Dore]

I tried some new features:

For admin:
1. MP:
- Change location --> OK very useful. Works well for me.


2. Manage Campaign:
- Supply Point Configuration (very nice!!)

Here, I have a problem: In Smolensk E supply point I have IL2, La-7, Tu2S... I choose "only" IL2 and La-7 (see above) with fuel and loadout restrictions.
When I come back to the MP, I cannot commit any reinforcements at any supply point. Then I restore the default settings in the Supply Point Configuration for Smolensk E, but in the MP no reinforcements are now possible (Air Force or Army or Railways or Navy)

- Reinforcements: works well (new parameter: hours)


For Commanders:
1. MP:
- Lock Dissolve Function for Commanders: When active it works but when I remove it, it stays active. Sometimes it works well...

- Lock Allied and Axis Production orders: OK (very nice function)


- Create Supply Point if active in DCS: excellent!


... to be continued...

Yes, it's working for the admin but not for the commanders.

[22GCT_Gross]

Reinforcements.

JP, I checked your installation, you had a MP-ManageCampaign.php of 112 kb while I have one of 109 kb (?)(the same in my MP4 zipped download.

I tried to use your file but anyway I had the same error:

Code: Select all

Diego!
My new MP is not on my own server!
It's on flibusteairline.com

I will upload it this sunday. If you want, I'll take a look on your MP

At the moment, I will not update my Bagration campaign. I have a problem with the new MP (reinforcements). After using Supply Editor, my reinforcements are locked...

About "change location" it's only available for admins. For commanders, you should not have the menu. (Only change Bearing)

FYI, some documentation on drivable vehicles is now at the SEOW Wiki

Commanders can only relocate a unit if it is within CCCI range of a headquarters unit. I'll re-examine this to see if I can make the workflow simpler for commanders.

Admins, on the other hand, can relocate any unit at any time.
