Hello,

A question for MegaMekLab 0.45.4; is Improved C3 (c3i) available as a piece of Other Equipment for BattleMechs and Combat Vehicles? All the other variations of C3 are in MegaMekLab, but C3i is not. Am I looking in the wrong spot or doing something wrong? Please let me know. Thank you.

C3I also has some pretty restrictive years and tech levels.

Ah, that explains it...I had the year default set to 3145. I'll have to work around that for my setting then. Thank you for the response.

There''s a tab in the configuration dialog (File > Configuration) that gives you some control over how the tech progression affects availability, including ignoring extinction dates.

I thought there were left over units still had the C3i in them by 3145. Like in some models of the Locust.

neoancient · « **Reply #64 on:** 23 June 2019, 15:19:10 »

Extinction refers to manufacturing status. Just because the C3i hadn't been manufactured in several decades doesn't mean there aren't some still floating around.

I can't find any extinction date for C3i, where are you getting that from?

Additionally does MM support the Campaign Ops Force building rules?

From the master tech advancement table in Interstellar Operations.

A number of people have exprested interest in doing a new unit creation wizard for MekHQ, but nobody has taken time to do it yet.

This wouldn't be MekHQ thing, it would be MegaMek thing, or at least a MegaMek thing first. First step would adding force structure to MegaMek, that is the ability to group a players units into Lances. The next bit is I think already done, or largely so, add in the SPA's. Next is to add the ability to assign the SPA's to the Lance and not the unit, and move them around between units within a Lance from turn to turn. Finally add checking conditions for Lance types.

neoancient · « **Reply #68 on:** 29 June 2019, 07:47:09 »

The formation building rules have been implemented to the point of being able to check which formation types a group of units would qualify for and random generation of a given formation type. Grouping units and using the formation SPAs is still on the widsh list.

Is variable range targeting a functional quirk at the moment? And if so, how do you change the range band it's focused on?

Minor bug: I'm seeing "... bbattle loss compensation..." in the feedback window.

I'm also not seeing a way to reload field gun infantry.

SCC · « **Reply #71 on:** 01 July 2019, 04:32:37 »

OK, this bug is fairly major, you can't build a JS or WS with more one docking collar in MML

When I tried to use Field Guns they showed up in the Repair tab to be reloaded, but did not disappear or use up ammo when trying to reload them. Though after I was done doing that I saved, closed, and then reloaded MekHQ they would disappear from the Repair tab and be reloaded.

dgorsman · « **Reply #73 on:** 01 July 2019, 11:52:33 »

For me, they show up in the repair list, but there's no option of selecting a tech, and the start button remains greyed out. They stay unloaded regardless of a game reload.

Stormforge · « **Reply #74 on:** 01 July 2019, 14:30:07 »

My bad, I remembered that wrong. I used the GM Mode Complete Task in the Repair Bay to reload them, and they would disappear from the tab on reload of MekHQ.

There isn't a Mac release and you'll have to use the Unix release. We are having issues with the Gradle packaging scripts and various security settings in MacOS. We are working on the issue and have no ETA for a fix.

Is this the reason why you can't access the PDF options in the Print dialog?

Found the problem. Advance to the next day. It looks as though Field Gunners cannot reload the same day they are deployed.

Slight weirdness on infantry damage calculations that I just got today.

Code: [Select]


Weapons fire for Blake's Fist BLK-FS01 (Blake's Hammer)
    ER Medium Laser at Jump Platoon (SRM) (Capellan Confederation (Local Forces)); needs 7, rolls 10 : hits  (using Right Side table) MEN
        Direct fire weapon against infantry, damage changed from 5 to 1
        Jump Platoon (SRM) (Capellan Confederation (Local Forces)) takes 1 damage to MEN.
            17 men alive


    MML 9 (Narc-capable ammo) at Jump Platoon (SRM) (Capellan Confederation (Local Forces)); needs 7, rolls 2 : misses

        Checking for accidental fire; needs 3 or below, rolls 7 : no fire..

    ER Medium Laser at Jump Platoon (SRM) (Capellan Confederation (Local Forces)); needs 7, rolls 6 : misses

        Checking for accidental fire; needs 3 or below, rolls 10 : no fire..

    MML 9 (Narc-capable ammo) at Jump Platoon (SRM) (Capellan Confederation (Local Forces)); needs 7, rolls 7 :  - Glancing Blow - 9 missile(s)  hits  (using Right Side table) MEN
        Missile weapon against infantry, damage changed from 9 to 2
        Jump Platoon (SRM) (Capellan Confederation (Local Forces)) takes 1 damage to MEN.
            16 men alive

Looks like I kill one guy with the laser bringing the platoon down 17 guys. Then I land 9 lrms on them which it says should do 2 damage. But the platoon only takes 1 casualty. Seems like the math is off somewhere. I don't know if the glancing blow is doing something here or not, but it shouldn't effect missile damage after the cluster roll is made.

Does anyone else think that infantry retirement is a bit weird? If the leader retires the entire squad does, makes it a bit pointless to train them up at all.

Glancing Blow doesn´t affect damage per missile, but damage against conventional infantry isn´t resolved on a per-missile basis, so that´s probably why it is halved here. It shouldn´t be, though, the way I understand the rules.

I don't think the idea that the whole platoon decides to stay or go is all that weird, personally; you hired them as a whole, after all. It's also worth noting that the platoon's retirement rolls should reflect their average skill, not just the leader's (which means the default retirement dialogue's target number usually isn't going to be accurate), and IIRC they also have a bonus to the roll, so retirement should be pretty rare to begin with.

I posted it on the bugtracker as well, but maybe someone here can help?

I can't load my campaign file and can't figure out why from the log.

Edit:
Thanks to some help on the bugtracker I can load my game again. A refit was at fault.

Asking again before I make a bug report. Does anyone know if ASFs not getting vision of opposing forces in double-blind is intentional?

For ground units? If so I believe so. Do not have the rules handy though. From what I have observed is that if you fly directly over a unit it is revealed. Depending on what sensors the aircraft is using it may be able to spot unrevealed units out to a couple of hexes from its flight path.

SteveRestless · « **Reply #84 on:** 11 July 2019, 17:30:24 »

It seems to be happening for both Aero and Ground units.

Data file errors:

Cougar X, Cougar X 2, and Cougar X 3 (RS 3145 NTNU) are all currently Mixed Inner Sphere. Each needs to be changed to Mixed Clan. Nothing else needs to be changed, though the mechs need the innate free Clan CASE to have proper BVs and I'm not sure if that's instantly added when you toggle the tech base on an existing unit file.

Thanks as always for your work.

After a Convoy Rescue you don't get a bonus for the rescued units.
Too bad, as only one didn't make it out. (Why did he have to drive his hover into the woods again? There weren't even any enemies close by. :D)

Change the pilot risk settings for that bot. They'll avoid making risky turns for the most part.

Rince Wind · « **Reply #88 on:** 14 July 2019, 15:02:09 »

I set them to escape. The hover never had a chance because of all the woods. By turn 16 one (primitive Wasp) had made it out.

But next time I'll have a look at the risk setting as well. :thumbsup:

SRM/LRM Carrier (Primitives) are introduced in 2440, but the SRM/LRM Carrier is introduced 2407. This doesn't make any sense. So I checked Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged & Technical Readout: 3039, but there is no introduction year for SRM/LRM Carrier listed. In the Record Sheets: 3039 p. 72/73 the introduction year is listed at 2500.
