| Summary | 0001693: Missing ships in Beta wing | ||||
| Description | This isn't supposed to matter since the 3 main wings (ALP/BET/GAM) are limited to a maximum of 4 ships and FRED always complains that it should be so. Tested in a blank mission using a build compiled myself towards the end of 25th May, but I guess that it should affect just about every other build (including last October's XT builds which give me collision detection problems). The blank mission has the wings ALP/BET/GAM/DEL/EPS/ZET, each wing has 6 fighters each. With briefing enabled, Beta wing only shows 2 ships in the loadout with Beta 3 and 4 marked with 'X' squares. When proceeding into the mission untouched (doesn't matter if briefing is shut off or enabled with ship/gun loadouts left alone), all the ships come out fine with 6 ships per wing. However, when restarting the mission either by dying and restarting, or by using the menu to restart, a few ships will be omitted from Beta wing ONLY, leaving them down to 4 fighters and making the wing list look funny after the omissions. The rest of the wings aren't affected. Even Alpha and Gamma at the very least still show the first 4 fighters in briefing, and all 6 continue to show up in-mission after restart (at least in the wingman status bar anyway, I didn't fly around and target the wingmen one by one). | ||||
| Additional Information | Ran across this like, 1 or 2 months ago but since the first few wings should only have 4 fighters, I didn't think too much into it. Considering that the interface has no room for 6... Though a modder out there somewhere might find some use for 6 ships in a main wing... =\ | ||||

Forgot to add, doing a restart from the debriefing will also trigger the same thing. |

I had made some interface graphics and did the necessary code changes to allow six ships in a wing a few years ago. However, I was unable to make the interface graphics fit using the 640x480 resolution, so I abandoned that endeavor. |
