The Marsue Maru Bug

[elcid]

I have occasionally noticed that IJN transport (AP) Marsue Maru will not be listed when creating a new task force. But now in 2.3 it has become much worse. Instead of OCCASIONALLY not being listed it NEVER is listed as an option when you try to transfer it to a new or existing task force. ALSO it NOW refuses to load any troops and it loads supplies at about 85% the rate other ships of its type and damage level load at. What is this about??? She is, I believe, a 10 knot 2,000 ton AP (whatever that may represent).

Note that REAL Japanese merchant ships were subsidized and almost all of them were faster than those in UV - that the subsidies did not permit 9 and 10 knot ships - and that they required scrapping of the slower ships they replaced (to release steel). Japan had the worlds most modern merchant marine in WWII, and its fastest. For good data, see Lloyds Register of Shipping.

Interesting. In the editor she is listed as being part of some task force Japan starts with, although it is delayed for some 250 days. Obviously this is too confusing for the game logic to handle.

Hope they fix it along with Akagi captain in the next database update...

Quick fix. Disband the TF located at Rabaul when the game starts. From then on the problem is gone. If you do not do this, the ship remains in the TF yet can not be accessed.

Which scenario(s)?

[Mr.Frag]

17 & 19 both have it, haven't checked others.

Ok I've added it to the list.

A little more info, it is ship record #561 so you can see it in the editor. The problem is specifically related to the ship having a delay value. Having edited it to the correct 0 value, the game runs without a hitch.

Please add the Akagi while at it, ship record #1, it's got a bad captain #1999 in scenario 17 (19 is ok), should be captain #423.

Really wish they would release the format structure for these so we could make a more user friendly editor that cross referenced all the records nicely. I understand it's completely unsupported, but perhaps we can offer 2by3 the collective efforts of our time hunting these things down so they don't have to spend their efforts on what is quite obviously silly typing mistakes, not actual coding issues that need their skills

Maybe you could post a listing of "the list"? I'd be interested to know what's on it.

I'm sorry but I will not be able to do that.

Because it's a secret or because of the size limit on posts?
