Bug in selecting corps in a stack

Post by Jimmer »

Whenever one has a corps in an area (or, whatever), and you select it for movement, an anomaly occurs: If, either while moving or when first starting out, the player decides to exchange factors with a garrison, the game switches focus to something other than the corps that was moving. However, it is still waiting for a move to happen. I think it's lost its mind at that point. :)

Anyhow, you have to re-select the corps in question to get it to move.

This is non-critical, since there's a really easy workaround. But, it may possibly indicate other issues, so I thought I would mention it.

(As you can tell by the flurry of posts, I played the game again last night. :))

Oh, and I forgot the other piece that makes it an issue:
 
If there were multiple corps in the stack, and one moved one of them out, the game now grants TOW foci: The phasing corps counter has the official focus (if you keep clicking areas, it will keep moving, until you run out of movement). However, the PICTURE of the several corps that were in the stack at the start of the move does not change. But, if you click on any of the icons in that display, it will reset the display to show the current pile (minus the phasing stack). But, which one you actually get highlighted is semi-randon (it depends on which one in the old picture you clicked on).
 
This is more of an annoyance than anything else, but it indictes that there's some code getting lost in the interface. NOTE: The same thing happens with fleets.
 
Since this is an interface bug, I don't expect work anytime soon. So, you might want to add this one to the list for after you get the true bugs mostly fixed.

I think I understand wht you're saying. Let em repeat to clarify:
 
If you select a corps to move BUT then xfer to garrison then you're still in move mode thus any area clicks might be seen as moves?
 
 
Thank you
