Exclamation Re: Craters/Damage not showing

OK....... there is a bug......there is also an easy workaround that will have to do until we can figure out the bug

ATM you cannot save a "map" with battle damage but you can save a "scenario" with a battle damaged map and even though that battle damaged map has phantom shell holes there is a work around.

The custom editor will clear damage from the map.....so if you have "phantom" holes you clear them away with the custom editor then you start building your scenario........ you load the map....... PUT THE DAMAGE IN..... then SAVE as a scenario.... you can reload it at any time and buy and deploy troops AND THE DAMAGE ( and the graphics of the damage ) STAYS IN you can do that any amount of times and the damage will always show as long as it's saved as a scenario .....but not a map.......if it's saved as a map the graphics are stripped away which IS a bug but as long as you build the map and save as a scenario each time as you develop it the damage will stay on the map...... save the map as a map and the graphics of damage are stripped ..so don't do that until we fix this ( whenever that may be )

BUT.....if if you have a map saved and it's showing phantom damage reporting as holes you cannot see---you can strip all the damage away so nothing remains but pristine countryside with the custom editor....then put it back in and it will remain on the map AS LONG AS IT'S SAVED AS A SCENARIO
