Campaign For North Africa 40D-43 EVENT ERROR

[m5000]

i got the following txt file while finishing turn 8:


--There may be corrupted events in this scenario : Campaign For North Africa 40D-43
Elmer tried to fix them up
WITHDRAW_UNIT_EFFECT
Please open this scenario in the editor and check them.
**Problem with unit in event(365)
**Full Unit Name was : Axis, 852nd Cadre


apparently, there are some problems with events in this scen, has anyone experienced that playing this scenario?

The scenario should work all right as all events are properly set (just re-checked to be sure). The problem lies with a routine the program runs that was supposed to fix some conversion problems from CoW to TOAW III when the original CoW scenario was itself a conversion to Opart300 (the large executable) from Opart (the regular one) under CoW. The routine, as far as it can be judged, is broken and produces false alarms, especially about 'withdraw unit' events for perfectly functional scenarios. Should be fixed somewhere down the road in a future patch.

In short: don't worry - yet ;)

I've seen the same error message on scenarios that were built in OPART300 and then converted to TOAW III.

That's what Marc meant - bogus message if the original scenario was OPART300, possible real problem if it had been regular OPART. The next TOAD Tuesday version will fix this.

I've finally finished work on my new scenario, and will begin update work on my old ones. This one will be first on the list. I'll check it out for any conversion errors.
