ThatDeadGuy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I believe I found some bugs in the force Creator program. It appears that on user made files that contain only one type of weapons system (such as 2 x MRAC or 4 x PBG) with the piercing upgrade, the force manager neglects to add the points cost when it "imports" the file over, even though the points are accurately calculated on the constructor file and associated exported pdf. This only applies when you have ONE weapon type as opposed to multiple types of weapon groups - when you have say 2 x MRAC and 2 X PBG the program asks you to assign piercing to a particular weapon group). Example: I created a Terran plane I named "Falcon Light Assault Fighter". Its overall TV is 162. For weapons it has LRACs X 2 with piercing. After saving, exporting to pdf and closing the the Creator, I then open up the Force Manager and create a Flight Squad, adding in a "Falcon Light Assault Fighter". It is coming up with all the same skills (even noting the piercing on the LRAC's) but comes up TV 156 (8 points short, which is correct math for piercing calculations as per the formulas in the book). This same error came up on any given user file I made that had only 1 type of weapon system that also had piercing. Other models with this error had the appropriate value of points off to indicate piercing as the culprit of the bug. I did not find any points discrepancies in ANY other user made unit, regardless of combination, I've done.....and I've made about 50 different units spanning over 3 different races (I'm enjoying the hell out of the "design your own units" thing - best feature added to a miniature war game ever!).

ThatDeadGuy Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I am re-posting this here, since creating it's own section seems more appropriate: Hello, I believe I found a Bug in the Force manager. When constructing a Ritterlich Force with Lightning Warfare doctrine, the constructor applies Assault +1 for every weapon system a model has when it outputs the data to PDF (as opposed to Assault +1 only). Just wanted to throw that out there. Program rocks over all though - keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User CAVBOSS Posted February 21, 2016 Reaper User Share Posted February 21, 2016 Forwarding to Chris to look at. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUG Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 You can send issues with the programs directly to me at [email protected], that way we can jump on these as quickly as possible. Can you send me some of the model files you you used to find the calculation issue? I have replicated the bug, but I'm seeing the problem whether weapons are mixed or not and would like to see what you are seeing, to better address the issue. I posted in the other forum on the Lighting Warfare issue, but I'll ask here as well; Please send me the force file showing this problem. Thank you very much, Chris Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
