Hi KillaTom,

My guys love your creation and we are a fan of it. We're basically contemplating on creating a server base on your mod hence we have to prove the viability.

As per subject on hand, CP points turns to 'ANY' value which basically happens minutes into the game. With the said value, we are not able to recruit, upgrade and use most of the support at our disposal.

CP spent on certain upgrades and recruiting men into the squad beforehand.

However, perks like UAV recon function works.

Hope to hear from you soon!

PS.
We'll continue to proceed with other maps to check whether the same issue persists. we'll be honoured to contribute as much as we can :)

@Bolsacks...excellent feedback. The CP 'Any' bug is a CP calculation error. Somehow its doing an ADD or SUB against a NULL value which borks the return value and CP is perm broken. I can't see any code issues but it's definitely something "purchased" or a "CP bonus". You would need to watch all CP interaction to track which calculation borks the value. All purchases and support calls plus zone and mission bonuses. Then keep checking the CP value in Request Menu or SITREP to see which transaction borks the value.

That's the only way I can think of as I have only seen it once and I missed the transaction

I'm on Discord for a while if you have some time

I'm wondering if the CP error has something to do with multiple players spending CP at the same time? Maybe the CP calculations are trampling each other.

I had this "any" bug last night during 2h sesion
6 players, separated by squads and i was the only (commander this time) who spedning CP, for vehicles and squads.

But we failde cuz land mine in base, whatever, made new game, too for 2 hours and this tamy "any" presented after we took 2 points in same time AND we geave bonus from controling other points too in this 2 seconds (5 times bonuses to CP at all), meaby too much accumulating in same time working same like too much spending by many players

Like Bolsack wrote, support working but sitrep dont ("not enough CP") , hovever this "any" is real infinite value, we typed 90k AP form converting but this didnt spawn any superior taks froces :F

What is funny, we won the scenario after we made 100k AP and reds owned 3 points from 8, just "mission completed"

Third session, this time 2h, we made only 5 points, not 8 like always and we finished this with no any..."any".

I had (as commander two times) #red_chain_of_desynch cupole of time, meaby this is reason but dunno, every unit was corretly rendered and hitted during fight for any players

Edit:
Malden nad Altis
No mods
Hosted by me, two times and two times by others

Ok i think i got this, im tested around 1 hour some things what i did in "any" scenarios and:

always CP is buged after we use UAV scout, in every single time (for me but i thing that may be for others)

In SP and MP, i tested point on ponit, spam HQ units, making ZEUS things to drop my fps to 1, making more than 10 points on single km2 and always "any" present after UAV support, thats why this support always working with "any" bug, opposite for other

I can confirm as soon as I used the UAV my cp went to the "any" stage and I could not make any purchase.

@Airetab, @Pappy...Awesome feedback. I'm checking the UAV right now.

EMERGENCY UPDATE: v2.21
- fixed the CP "any" bug. Caused by the UAV Recon "mapclick" function
- fixed the Vehicle Refit "refuel/rearm fail" in MP

Thanks for the quick fix........workin as it should now!

Yesterday upon loading a save and capturing one zone the island insta-captured, we only had 2/6 zones captured and there were no BLUFOR within the remaining 4 zones, any ideas?

@Huski...my next fix. I gotta figure out the premature victory thing. I think it only happens on save/load.

MAJOR UPDATE: v2.3
- fixed the premature victory in MP (I think). JIP players were getting extra messages about captured zones which kept adding to the "captured" total. I moved a lot of code around to better match the server init order and changed some JIP notifications.

PROPS to @Huski & @Airetab for the feedback.

Thonkery, not sure if a problem with me or a bug in the mission, I'll put it here incase it is. I'm also going to try and remake the issue.

When running through a localhost with players (6 in this case) whenever anything happened it would give the notification to everyone 6 times in this case.

@Huski...I think I know why. Part of the messaging changes I made. RemoteExec is ♥♥♥♥♥ of a function to get right.

EDIT: It should be fixed now v2.31
