CMO - NEW PUBLIC BETA (Current: Build 1468)

[Stanley_The_Rolmate]

So uhh, are the 'Fail-safe' scenario's meant te be included?

[Dimitris]

Thanks for the heads up! There was a slight mix-up between the private and open beta branches, this has now been corrected.

These scenarios are still very much works-in-progress, so we don't recommend trying them out unless you can tolerate A LOT of issues and wierd things.

(You in the back, murmuring "you mean like the current public beta?" SIT DOWN!)

[eleos]

When will a non steam version of CMO be released?
We have been waiting for a new patch for over 4 months and yet we have to wait another couple of months...
People have reasons not to prefer a non steam version

New public-beta update (available only for manual update right now); Build 1458.

Download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/dbbea3cj ... 58.7z/file
To apply: Unzip on your CMO folder, overwrite when prompted.

!!!IMPORTANT!!!
If you use Steam and are uncertain on how to apply this manually: Please wait for next week, production should be able to push this update through Steam.
If you are not using Steam and have been holding on for a Matrix updater: DO NOT use this, it doesn't have all the files you need and you'll go through one crash after another. Please hold on a little longer, production should be able to generate a Matrix updater (hopefully) next week. They have been superb, but unfortunately they are currently overwhelmed with other things. Sorry

CMO Build 1458 Changelog (changes from B1436)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* ADDED: Aircraft fuel on-load rate restriction (requires v508+ DBs). When activated, the bottleneck on A2A fuel transfer is not just the offload capacity of the tanker, but also the onload capacity of the aircraft. Also the calculation for transfer rate is now the same for CMO & CPE.

* ADDED: [Lua] New method "ScenEdit_WeaponAllocation" to show weapon allocation from attacker to target. Syntax: ScenEdit_WeaponAllocation(attackerGUID, contactGUID, attackingSideGUID)
1. supply attacker and contact GUIDs to see salvos generated between the 2
2. supply attacker GUID and empty contact to see salvos from the attacker to anyone
3. supply contact GUID and empty attacker to see salvos against contact. Note in this case, you MUST supply the side from which attacks are coming from.

* ADDED: [QOL] Possibility to copy and paste zones through the zone context menu (Shift+RMB)
* ADDED: Notification bark to let the player know if the AC reached the weapon release point too early (explanation for the occasional "hover on waypoint" behavior)
* ADDED: [Lua] Added TimeZulu to the flightplan WP wrapper
* Includes the new v508 releases of the DB3000 and CWDB databases.
- DB3000 v508 additions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wD5-lO ... sp=sharing
- CWDB v508 additions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w4IIuX ... sp=sharing

* TWEAK: Improvement on secondary targets management for bombing + WRA check
* TWEAK: On "Head To First Waypoint", start the climb/dive to the next waypoint's desired altitude only when we are within the horizontal distance needed for the climb/dive (this prevents aircraft from starting their climb/dive too early)
* TWEAK: The flight planner will now always set the weapon release altitude according to the mission profile's "attack altitude ingress" value - allowing for minimum safe height
* TWEAK: Various sim-engine speed tweaks

* FIXED: AC using the next waypoint altitude instead of the current one
* FIXED: Navigation issues (added a little slack to WP reach threshold + missing PC length check)
* FIXED: #16216: Doctrine mission reset when units assigned on air
* FIXED: ACs in separate targets were hovering at waypoints
* FIXED: Keyword-search method when adding a sensor was case-sensitive
* FIXED: #16220: JDAMs, aircraft getting stuck in mid-air and circling target/waypoint
* FIXED: Support missions not generating TOT for all flights
* FIXED: Aircraft circle at waypoints indefinitely with unreachable altitudes
* FIXED: WRA Winchester issue (erroneous "Follow Plotted Course" for winchester ACs ignoring leader)
* FIXED: #16237: DLZ check causing soft-lock and exception fuse
* FIXED: #16215: Wrong WRA Allocation
* FIXED: #16239: SAMs engaging targets below their engagement floor
* FIXED: #16241: Ordering manual refuel clears the selected tanker's plotted course
* FIXED: Multiple improvements on Flightplans altitude managment
* FIXED: "Horizontal distance needed to climb/dive to desired altitude" was sometimes returning a negative value
* FIXED: Issue when closing window with hotkey (Escape And/or dedicated)
* FIXED: ACs reverting back to "Altitude Before Engaged Offensive" even if they had a flight-path to follow (and thus should ignore this value)
* FIXED: #16230: Boats cannot dock at a port that is part of a group
* FIXED: Mission Profile values are always used for determine weapon release altitude - UNLESS AC loadout is null (in such case Upper Release Altitude Limit (ASL) - 100 is used)
* FIXED: Aircraft Minimum Safe Height value is used instead of Profile Altitude value if if the latter is lower than the former (this protects aircraft from getting self-blasted/fragged on low-level delivery)
* FIXED: Adding minimum weapon altitude and land altitude taken into consideration (with 0 as min value)
* FIXED: Aircraft must finish firing weapon salvos before continuing flight plan
* FIXED: WebView2 cache/user folder now uses Command's WritableRoot folder (fixing I/O issues on some computers)
* FIXED: Weapon endgame being reported as a miss if intended target was a miss even if another unit was hit
* FIXED: ACs were heading to the target ignoring the fact that they had not reached weapon-release WP + ACs were circling weapon release target after weapon launch
* FIXED: #16247: ABM missiles flying inefficient/impossible paths, fail to intercept BMs
* FIXED: Game-Mode not being preserved during scenario migration to different DB
* FIXED: #16268: Aerial Refueling taking priority over RTB even if aircraft are in range of airbase (units RTB not in bingo toward the base ignore bingo doctrine and do not refuel)
* FIXED: [Lua] Fixed case of empty list when trying to find units
* Various exception fixes

As I could not wait, tried on my own and failed

With 4 added Webview2 .dlls the exception error on startup was removed.

But then there is also a DirectN error, tried to update the file with all the versions created by Simon Mourier and still get the White Screen of Death though with a different DX11 renderer error.


Lesson learned and waiting for the official patch

Though worried that perhaps the game is not compatible with my old system any more.

Same !!!IMPORTANT!!! notes as B1458 also apply here.

CMO Build 1459 Changelog (changes from B1458)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* TWEAK: Force sim to pause on File->StartMenu
* Fixed: #16181 Rapid Dragon pallet was being destroyed before it could fire
* Fixed: Constant exception thrown when landing aircraft was on a strike mission
* Fixed: #16234: Different airbase composition (single-unit vs complex) causing issues
* Fixed: #16224: Wrong Bingo fuel calcs depending on base type

[Nikel]

It works now, no error in the exception log and I can see the map!

These two .hlsl files made the difference.

Anyone noticed that the loading time of the scenarios has increased? x2


Edit: glitches deleted because after a crash testing a scenario, Command.ini was recreated and I am not seeing them anymore.

[kahta]

So far so good in my testing- much better sim speed, RTB/refueling much better than before.

GREAT WORK AND THANK YOU to the dev team for the work you all have put into this!!!!!

Why do I have this error?

Please post this on a new thread on tech support, along with any information that may help (e.g. what exactly where the steps you did to upgrade). Thanks.

Amazing work! Thank you!

[Nikel]

Thank you!


There are even more scenarios.

One is Canary Cage, the name has changed and so is duplicated:

Canarys Cage, 2005 (the new).

Canary's Cage, 2005 (the old).

Some scenarios have .ini files and others no.

Showcase Icebreakers has .ini file but no .scen, is this correct?

You need to be specific as to which have inis and which don't. According to my official list of files, all scenarios have an ini. I made sure of it when I took over maintaining the officials scenarios.

Same for Icebreakers, both the ini and the scenario show in both my beta and release versions of Command.

Showcase Ford Class

Here is the change log. If there is an issue the was reported and I missed, first I'm sorry, second please bump the thread in the Tech Support forum. I searched through both the Tech Support and DLC forums for issues related to the scenario and most of them boiled down to the issues fixed below but it's possible I missed something.

- Selecting a CVA should no longer end the scenario. This one was fixed at one point but I think I accidentally undid the change or had the wrong version of the scenario.
- Reapplied the starting damage to the USS Mississippi.
- Added additional fuel to the USNS Newport.
- The scenario should no longer end early. Scenario briefing states that a ceasefire will be called with Angola 24-36 hours after hostilities start. 12-18 after hostilities start with Russia. Scenario will now end at a random time (hour intervals) between the respective deadlines.

[verdugo94]

Hello, I believe I have found an strange issue. I have reported it here https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 0&t=406170

I am using the Steam version with the Beta branch (no manual steps)

[Nikel]

You need to be specific as to which have inis and which don't. According to my official list of files, all scenarios have an ini. I made sure of it when I took over maintaining the officials scenarios.

Same for Icebreakers, both the ini and the scenario show in both my beta and release versions of Command.

I am talking about the last Mediafire file Dimitris uploaded. Not in the game folder here where they are present from previous setup or patches.

In the scenario folder of that file you may find:


Scen + ini

Chains of War 6. The One Two Punch

4 Kashmir Fire scenarios 2,4,8 and 12

Showcase Ford Class

Standalone Iron Hand, 2014


Only Scen

Flight Tutorial 8

Falklands 9. Operation Sutton

LIVE Operation Broken Shield 300

Northern Inferno 15. Fail Safe 20 Oct1975

Since this requires a detailed breakdown...

Scen + ini are scenarios that where updated and whose ini required updating to take those changes into account.

Only Scen are scenarios that where updated and did not require an ini update.

Only ini - Icebreakers didn't have an ini (at least not in my files) so I made one.
