the special action: Request Report of Stored Munitions

does not have its script loaded so you get an error. I added the Game_Munitions.lua into the luainit event - and added an action to load it and now it works.

As Taiwan is it possible to transport the Patriot to the islands? For example with ships or the C-130H Hercules on Pingtung AB?

Playing as Taiwan i have this erorr when launching special action "Request report of Stored Munitions"

same error on request transfer

->but Request Report of Deployed Munitions works fine....

Strange

ok did the same as whicker and it works now

On another note, lots of ship pathing issues in this one, on both sides it looks like. I'm having a hard time getting my ships out of their port areas.

Getting out of Kure will spend most of the scenario I guess

you have to give them a path around everything and then it works, took me a few tries. The low res imagery doesn't really show where the route works very well.

I'm going to set the enemy's survivor side to friendly to it so it stops shooting at its own survivors. It probably has spent 10-20 harpoons trying to sink unknown lifeboats. Might even do the same for my side as in my testing of survivor code it will attack lifeboats with whatever ASM it has if it allows free fire on surface ships.

I'm getting messages about survivors from the other side - I'm playing as Japan - it does look like it is only effecting Taiwan's score though:

4 days 16 hours to go - victory for Japan. 76,000 points.

Maybe if the other side had not spent so much time killing life rafts they would have put up more of a fight:

No. Check the NATO DTG format.

Thanks all for the bug reports, I'll update ASAP but it's still going to be a few days yet. IRL strikes again [:)]

Seems that both Ise and Kaga magazine lacks Neartip to reload the ASW helos.

ha ha - time is so complicated! i kept looking at it trying to understand what time something was going to happen.

In looking at the Taiwan side, there are missions that I don't think ever fired. I was expecting an attack on Naha but never got one. There are loads of AC assigned to a DEAD mission. I never saw any of those in the air but there were a ton on the ground at one of the island bases.

I actually ran out of 5" shells on all the ships I think.

On the AOE ships they are just hanging out, why not have them on the way to the port on one of the contested islands and have them be required to stay there unloading for 24/48 hours or so, and then they could leave and go back to the mainland out of harms way. That would give the player something to think about, the sooner they attack maybe they can get in before the good stuff gets unloaded.

Interesting, just figured out the SkyBow SAM is only for ballistic missiles - I spent a lot of time avoiding those, I wondered why they never really fired at me.

In fact no Japanese ships have Neartips in their helo magazines. Is it intentional that helos (shipborne) have no ASW weapons available?

Updated initial post with a .zip that has the correct file structure for current implementation of Lua scripts.

If you were having issues with this scenario not firing scripts this should be solved now [:)]

Updated to enable munitions transfer functionality (unintentionally not active in previous versions)

checking this out......

having a problem with this.... there a bunch of reference points... but the missions wont load...
updated to 1117.8.1 tonight....
