Struggling with deployment
« on: 14 August 2024, 22:54:53 »
I'm having an issue getting Princess to deploy where I think I'm telling her to.

I'm trying to play out a tricky encirclement scenario, so my team can deploy anywhere, effectively and Princess is supposed to deploy in the centre of the four maps I have selected.

Team 1 (me) Any
Team 2 (princess) "CTR"

But I have run it so far as Princess' delayed deployment and she deployed right on top of me, near the edge of the map, every time.

What's the trick here? I word-searched the readme's and found nothing.

Thank you for your time.

That's something I've noted but keep forgetting to file a bug report on.  Delayed deployment, choosing CTR (center) - and possibly others - for the deployment zone will instead deploy as ANY.  Mostly observed through MekHQ generated scenarios with the 'hot drop' OpFor formations.  It seems to work properly if you select individual units and change each one to CTR, rather than changing the team.

Ah! Okay, I can do that. I'll report back with how it works out for me.

That's why I was asking what version, I *think* that's been fixed in 49.20, or at least I remember seeing some conversations about it.

Oh, yeah. When I updated from my old .47 version, I saw that was on the website, but that it was a dev snapshot or something. So I went with the stable release.
