try RV install, Nevada, 1st campaign.

- fly mig29 ramp start [ china lake NWC ] airbase - mig29 sink into ground! blood shedding on canopy glass.

- join mig29 in the flight , no problem.

- chasing two f-15.. wierd, F-15 fly low then crash into hills.

- too many rivers.. should they be dry river bed? many bridges, i guess the ground units won't be able to reach their target obj.

ccc,
Here are 3 of the most critical broken roads I have identified on my main axes of advance so far.

There is a broken road/link immediately east of Yucca Valley enroute to Twenty nine Palms; the other one in Twentynine isn't critical, but it's there:



There is a major break between Baker and Ft Irwin Junction:



The bridges are broken- I added one myself (the other is stock) but I failed to fix the link myself.

i checked the three bugs in TacEdit, not in TerrainView due to lack of feature.tdf files.

i found the [move cost value] between these obj are higher, so troops unable to pass them. so i delele the link between two obj, and re-link them... some [move cost value] are significanly lowered, in both direction of movement.

i set up a TE, run three armour units to move to-and-fro along the choking area.

- at Sandy-bridge-Jean site, ground unit can not move at all. i delete bridge and re-link Sandy and Jean, the move cost is slightly higher. imo this site need TerrainView work to delete river, or change texture.bin( erase river definition].

- Backer - Fort Iwin junction, N-S site. ground unit can move north and south after obj re-linking, seems ok.

- Yucca valley-29 palm, move is ok after re-linking. if i order the unit to move toward EAST, it refuses moving from 29 palm-29 palm chemical- 29 palm AFB- obj530. instead, it move 29 palm-29 palm chemical > south, 1686 birdge, north to obj 530.
test indicate a broken road between 29 palm chemical palnt and 29 palm AFB, need TerrainView fix.

PS - the tile defintion, texture.bin file need to be checked with Pathmaker. also the broken sites need "highlighted-road texture.zip" to help identify the sites.

Ok, I downloaded are printed out the part of the wiki regarding links.

I sort of understand what you're saying. When you say re-link, are you just using tacedit to delete and then add links, or are you using some other procedure?

Next: if I am able to do what you are saying and fix the links, then what? How do I save the correction in a way that it can be distributed with future versions of the theater?

This actually goes beyond the scope of this post, so I'll start another one. But now that I'm getting heavily invested time-wise into editing, I'm starting to wonder how to package everything up so that others can enjoy it.

These are PMC's campaigns, so I need to start looking into how to get my work to be part of PMC's work.

Correct. This is Nevada bugs report topic, if you got a bug please report it, if you need help linking objectives or otherwise using the tools, find a more suitable topic or open a new one.

Thank you.

in short, the broken sites need a fix with both TerrainView and TacEdit, and better check Nevada texture.bin with Pathmaker...i found some road definition is off on city tiles.
