Defend Ulric Map is Broken (a MHQ Bug) #40

Closed Thom293 closed 8 months ago

Thom293 commented 8 months ago

There is currently a bug with MHQ where Fixed maps dont always stick and it will put you on a random mapsheet. That happens here.

The MHQ Bug I reported: https://github.com/MegaMek/mekhq/issues/3776

Until that bug is fixed, there are some new StratCon map presets that might work. BaseHot, BaseCold, etc. Or you could make a denser variation of those. I THINK fortress city or Residential might work too, but I havent tested if they will get overwritten also.

This is what it put me on instead of Ancient City:

Part II of Ulric also had a bad map.

Oddly, the final fixed map worked just fine.

Perhaps its a problem with some of the maps themselves? Dunno. Just another datapoint.

It could be a problem with the map specification. I will have a look.

Figured out the issue. The name of the map directory in MekHQ is deadborder, but in MegaMek its Deadborder. When we package up releases, we use MegaMek's boards. The consequence is that this works right when I run from source to test, but not in the releases.

Easy fix is to capitalize it in MekHQ to match MM, but I should also check other folders in this directory while I am at it.

Sweet! Thanks for fixing.
