F5 and placing objectives

Post by biddrafter2 »

Hi All,

I came across something weird last night and was wondering if anyone else had experienced it. I created a little test scenario to learn how various forces worked. I exported a single small formation for each force using F4. I then added three additional formations for each force and imported them using F5. All the formations and units imported with no problems (great tool). However, I could not place objectives for any of my imported formations. I know I was doing it right because I had placed objectives for another test scenario earlier in the evening. If I re-imported the formations with objective information included, the objectives were visible but I could not add additional ones. I suppose I can work around this, but adding 39 objectives by hand in the xml file might get tedious. Any suggestions?

Can you post or email the scenario to me, please?

Yes, I have noted the problem, but have not had time to complete the testing.

Example, take Europe Aflame, latest T3 version.
Save the map. Save the OOB. Modify the map. Import the OOB to the modified map. Same problem, no objectives are imported, and none can be placed.
