TSe419E Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) While preparing for Friday's TGIF session I made a plan and an overlay and saved them. I reopened the scenario and loaded the plan which, as expected moved the units. When I loaded the overlay the graphics were displayed and the minefields were positioned. The concertina wire, tank ditch, and emplacements, however, were not moved to there intended positions. Is this how it is supposed to work?

Jartsev Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 In 4.2 plan stores only units and routes data, while for map graphics, obstacles and fortifications there is a new feature- 'Map overlay'(to save new overlay- File> Save map overlay; to load saved overlay-File>Load map overlay) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSe419E Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 The overlay did not save the position of the emplacements, the wire, or the tank ditch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, sorry... 1) Obstacles and fortifications were not re-deployed during offline test run or during actual TGIF session? 2) Who was the owner of those assets? Did they had multiple owners? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, then the "map Overlay" only does just that. so save whatever annotations and markings you made on the map. Where as the saving of a plan (so a .pln file) sabes what you did in the world INCLUDING map markings. So to keep what you describe, you need to save it as a plan and not a map overlay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the scenario allowing more than one person to place them I do not know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already said that he saved both the overlay and the plan file, and neither of them positioned the wire etc when loaded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved both plan and overlay and the listed items were not placed when plan and overlay were loaded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the scenario allowing more than one person to place them I do not know. Ok, trying to reproduce here, but without much luck so far. Certain things worthy to mention: -During offline session you can reposition any deployable obstacle, fortification or panel disregarding of ownership, and save their updated position to map overlay file. -If this file is loaded then during network session, then only obstacles and panels, which have your unit as defined owner, will be re-positioned. Note that I didn't mentioned fortifications(bunkers and emplacements), since they are always owned by all users. This brings another issue- what happens in network session if there are multiple owners? In this case settings from 1st loaded plan are applied, and if anyone loads another plan file with other settings(for example- with emplacements deployed somewhere else) those conflicting settings would not be applied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
