dpabrams Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I started to set up the scenarios in sh*thole countries and found these guys are invisible, when using the template. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Rotar showed this in one of his "failed African state" TGIF videos. I think the week before last? https://www.youtube.com/embed/BSrFaVOyu8c Edited January 15, 2018 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted January 15, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 15, 2018 OK, if you can put a scenario in here that reliably shows this, then we would like to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5:15 Technical with ghost dismounts: 5:52: Ghost dismounts: Edited January 15, 2018 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Rotareneg Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 To add to this, those troops looked normal in my AAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted January 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2018 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take two seconds for someone to check that in the editor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted January 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2018 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). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Ok, I can do that. So you're saying that you cannot reproduce it by just using the African templates in other scenarios? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted January 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yes, so far we haven't been able to reproduce it from the templates we looked at. So either we are not doing the same thing, or maybe it is template or scenario specific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they render once you hit the start button, and start the scenario? Another solution - SAVE the scenario and re-open it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted January 16, 2018 Members Share Posted January 16, 2018 Which is not the same thing, if it also happens in a multiplayer session. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I was able to reproduce that in the mission editor as well. Load SB (4.023) and open the mission editor. Place the African Rebel Infantry Platoon template and switch to the 3D world view. They should be invisible except for their weapons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
