OK, if you can put a scenario in here that reliably shows this, then we would like to see it. :)

Pretty sure Rotar's video is based on "TGIF Watan Saraf Ekhlas V5UFM2".

 

Can't watch YouTube here, but when I get home I'll check and confirm.

 

Confirmed.

Thats correct, the units in question were part of the 'RED/Insurgent' teams reinforcements; rifle teams ( with carried troops appearance set to 'black mask' ) mounted in technicals (option 2 / trigger 7). Tankhunter might be able to shine some light on it, given that he made the scenario...who made this shit!

What I meant was, in the original post it sounded like dpabrams made a small, simple scenario where he saw it. We would like to have that scenario if possible, not the massive three sided one from TGIF. ;)

Yes, I was altering a scenario and playing with the African templates. It would take two seconds for someone to check that in the editor.

Did you not save the file? The problem here is that we have tried to reproduce it using the recent scenario from TGIF, and by tinkering in the editor and we have not been able to reliably do so. If you or anyone can provide a scenario file that shows this, with simple instructions of how to see it (ie. go to this unit, unload troops), then that would be very helpful.

 

Are you in single player? Network session? Mission editor test mode? Also there are EIGHT African templates - help us out here. ;)

 

Otherwise, images and videos of the issue doesn't exactly help in this case (other than to show that the problem actually does exist).

I have had this before when viewing scenarios within the mission editor. 

 

Once you start the scenario then it goes away. It's like some weird thing where custom appearances dont initially render in the mission editor

I just started a new scenario and plopped down a Rebel Infantry Platoon and they do not render in the SE. It was the first thing I did, blank map, put down the Rebels and nothing. Volcano, can you try that? Should I even care if they end up in the scenario at the end?

But they render once you hit the start button, and start the scenario?

 

Another solution - SAVE the scenario and re-open it.

OK, thanks, we see it happen that way. I was placing the unit, then going to execution phase (and they show up). This seems easily reproducible.

 

However there seems to be two separate issues here: there is another incident of this where it happens in the execution phase, at least during a network session, but maybe not network related. Some clients said they saw this weeks ago during a multiplayer session, execution phase.  So, if anyone can provide a test scenario where that happens in the EXE phase then we would be very interested in seeing it. :)
