VP Location Calculations

[DoubleDeuce]

This may have already been reported (I tried going back through the other threads I thought it may have been mentioned) so if it has please disregard.

While trying to adjust the Victory Level Points to try and avert an early SD trigger in one of my scenarios, it appears that the Victory Location Points are not being calculated, for either side. Check the Soviet Victory Location Points that have been assigned vs the Starting Victory Location Points used for determining the Scenario Success Level (2,250 vs 0). I admit some are in at start Soviet Deploy hexes but not all of them are so if that was the case it should still calculate some of them? Should not these be the same? I save and reloaded even after refreshing the Underlying Scenario Data. This screenshot is from trying to get them added to the Soviet side.



EDIT: Testing further, when I added a 500 Soviet VL Point Objective in the corner of the map on the US side it gave both sides 250 Points. The same happened when I moved it to inside the Soviet side of the map (BUT still not in any actual deploy hex areas.

We will check this out. I know Rob is out the next night or so, but I can see if Steve or Charles has run into this or if this is a new issue.

Thanks for the info and the images!

I did a quick look at one of my scenarios and I am seeing the same thing. The red victory locations points are showing up as "0" in the victory point calculations explanation. BUT, it appears that the red victory locations points are being used in the calculation for the percentage of victory based on the percentages given in Double Deuce's example and the one scenario of mine. So, it appears to me that the "0" is a cosmetic bug where the VL points are not being properly shown, but the points are being used to calculate victory percentages. I will forward this to Rob to look at.

DD, I could not duplicate the second problem you mentioned where you added Victory Location Points and it
split them between the sides. Could you send me your scenario to look at. My email is "crbelva@comcast.net". Thanks

File sent. I included the password in the email in case you need to play around in that copy.

I wonder if my scenario file is corrupted? I deleted all the VL Objectives and recreated them and now it only seems to add the single US held VL to the Victory Calculations but to both sides totals even though the Soviets have 2,750.

Something looks amiss. If Rob is out tonight, I will check the code and see if the calculation is broken.

Also, I notice in your new screen shot that the forces are reversed. The Soviet force (2 BN/79 Airmobile) is on top of the NATO force.

BTW Capn Darwin, I have JIRA this for Rob.

I think I figured out what the program is doing. I checked other scenarios in the game and I am seeing this very consistent with all the scenarios I checked. The program is taking the Victory Location points for NATO and plugging it in for both NATO and Soviets. I still think that is cosmetic and it is using the right numbers for the actual calculations for the percentages needed for the different levels of victory.

Charles, I will check the code this evening to verify and see if I can fix the text issue too.

[CapnDarwin]

Found the bug on the text and fixed it. Rest of the calculations look good. The correction will be in the 2.03 update in a couple weeks. Thanks for pointing it out!

[DoubleDeuce]

Good deal, glad I wasn't just seeing things. [:D]

[cbelva]

Capn, I will place a note in my JIRA issue that you corrected it so Rob doesn't waste time on it.

Thanks Charles!
