I believe a definite problem with patch 1.06 has been identified.
Theater Recon started accepting minus numbers with the arrival of patch 1.04. It was new and undocumented when found. To prove the existence, I wrote Demo_001_Recon.Sce, located in the Scenario Workshop. The problem identified with 1.06 has never to my knowledge occurred in 1.04.
The 1.06 patch accepts the negative number, but the value box disappears from the event editor when the enter key is hit. The scenario text file will not report the value. Playing the attached scenario shows that the negative number effect is utilized.
The problem has been duplicated on 3 computers, using 98Se, 2000 and Me operating systems. The problem is intermittent and I lack the time necessary for testing.
Some initial results requiring additional testing.
- Enter a positive number for theater recon; change it to a negative, and no problems.
- Change any other event to theater recon, and the value can be negative without problems.
- Using a virgin event, make it theater recon, enter a negative value, and sometimes there is the problem.
- Editing scenarios initially created under 1.04 sometimes has the problem when edited with 106.
