Issue regarding coalitions

[Robin_Hood]

I have just come across a rather peculiar behaviour with the mission editor in the latest patch (I didn't notice anything wrong in the previous 1.5 version). When creating a new mission and adding countries to the coalitions, the new countries don't appear in the list when I want to use them (for an aircraft). They do appear in the mission briefing, though.

 

Weirdly enough, I had it working once (country appeared immediately), but immediately afterwards I tried adding other countries (including the very same one), and again, it didn't work.

Saving the coalitions list and restarting the game seems to work, though it is not very convenient.

 

I wonder if others can confirm this behaviour?

I just noticed that since 1.5.1 it seems that whatever countries I moved around the factions didn't have the desired effect.

 

E.g. I moved the Ukraine from RED to BLUE. Saved and started placing units. I soon noticed that my ukrainian units all still were RED. I worked around that by creating the scenario with the stable release and kept editing afterwards in the beta mission editor. Retrospectively a game restart might have sufficed.

 

The weird part was that in the .miz file the missions file containing the coaltions array was correct but still the editor displayed them as RED.

 

Maybe this is related.

Same here - I just tried selecting Russia to be on the blue coalition but units appeared red when placing them in the mission editor

I just noticed this issue as well while trying to make a custom Mustang vs Dora simple dogfight mission.

Putting Germany into the Red coalition leaves it blue in the Editor, but it does appear in the countries list's Red coalition.

Playing as the Dora, the briefing reads "My Side: Germany" and "Enemies: Germany".

 

However, I did manage to place a Red German aircraft once, by playing around with the coalition settings and saving them, but could not reproduce afterward.

Same here, if I add Ukraine to Red and Georgia to Blue, then I can't select them to add units.

The briefing still shows the correct countries but the add unit screen only shows USA and Russia.

 

See screenshot :

-Editor version

-Briefing screen shows Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, USA

-Add plane unit shows only RU and USA

Same issue over here

Same here. I can' t to create a Germany vs USA mission anymore.

I was quite perplexed for a bit, but I think it figured it out. The mission editor is using only the saved country list and not whatever you set it to on that screen when you make the mission. Save the list before clicking ok in that menu and it should work. I've reported the issue.
