Battles from the Bulge Public Beta v4.2.246 Update Available!

[Andrew Loveridge]

Hello All,

We have a new update for Command Ops: Battles from the Bulge in the Members Club. It has a large number of fixes and changes, the original list is here, plus the ones below.

Please remember this is a Beta, and any feedback is appreciated.

[b]Change List V4.2.246 – November 8, 2011[/b][ul]
• Revised scenarios to incorporate the historical reinf schedules.

V4.2.245 – November 2, 2011

• Converted scenarios ensuring siteTask StartAt times were all valid ( ie = start time )
• Ensured that when using the boss's StartAtTime, we don't double dip and modifying it by
  the Scenario OrdersDelayFactor ( this will have already been factored into the boss's
  StartAtDuration ). This mitiagates against subordinate HQ heading off before their
  subordinates.
• Modified DetermineForceGroupLevels() to include Subject and modified calling
  functions as appropriate. This avoids applying a level that is in fact one less than it should be.
• Added Historical Reinforcement Schedule type. This is in addition to the Standard, Favour Us and Favour Them types and can be used to ensure you play with the historical
  schedule, while giving you the option to play with one of the Standard schedules picked at
  random. Previously the histroical schedule was included a one of the Standard ones.
• Added Deployed arrival type to reinforcements. These will now arrive and use whatever
  Deployment type that is set for them in the ScenMaker, rather than using the default
  Undeployed type. Also if the reinforcement is only a single unit it's deployment radius
  will be 0m instead of the default 100m. This allows scenario designers to setup a precise
  defensive layout for the arriving reinforcements - especially useful for those set to arrive at scenario start.
• Fixed bug preventing the use of the drop down lists used when trying to set percentage
  values in the ForceData:Summary view.
• Ensure non-bombard capable static units are handled inside VerifyAllocation(). This
  ensure correct handling during force allocation and addresses Assert at
  ScenFTTAllocationRequirement.cpp, line 43.
• Ensure we use the DivideLargeInts() to divide the VP totals inside
  UpdatePrioritiesForVictoryPlans(). This addresses assert at PodFloat.cpp line 36. There
  were several occurrences that triggered from different locations due to large VP totals.
• Updated BFTB scenarios utilizing Historical reinforcement schedules and Deployed
  arrival types where appropriate.

Keep trying. I used Firefox and I had the patch in no time with no problems.

Sometimes this is due to AV scan. I found that pausing the dowload when it appears stalled then imediately restarting can cure the problem.
