Coalition confusion

[hsth]

Hi,

 

Is there a solution for this coalition issue?

I have created a mission with Russia & Ukraine in the Red zone, all other countries are Blue.

"My" plane is Ukraine = Red. So far so good.

When I add another group and choose Ukraine they are listed as Ukraine = Blue :helpsmilie:.

The only way to get new groups on the Red side is to choose country = Russia for them.

 

Since Russia seems hardcoded in the coalition files (me_coalitions.lua etc.) it is also impossible to remove it from the Red list.

Attach your .miz and we can look at what's happening.

Ok, you'll see a plane and a heli group that I have added. They turn Blue when changed to Ukraine.

Hm, interesting one. I now have the Ukraine on both sides even in the debrief.

 

I'm not managing to replicate this on a mission I create from scratch though, so something wonky has been done here. Have you changed anything outside of using the regular mission editor (for example Notepad etc, since the mission inside the .miz archive is in plaintext)?

Nope, I did look into both files with 7Zip but didn't save. That's how I found out about the hard coding as I was getting index zero warnings when I tried to remove Russia from the Red list.

I think I've found what happens - for some reason the entry for the unit in question is moved to the wrong side of a coalition divider in the unit list. I'm not sure of a way to fix it or exactly why that happens though, I'd need to find a way to make this situation occur in a mission of my own to figure that out.

Thank you for your assistance.

I'm off now (getting late..)
