[49.8] Partially crewed units #3356

Open mwberlindeu opened 2 years ago

mwberlindeu commented 2 years ago

Environment MegaMek version: 49.8

Description I have a number of units which are listed as "partially crewed". I have reserve crew but I cannot assign any more personal to the units. The units are rather seldomely used and they are basically "fluff" but I wonder what the reason may be. My current assumption is that master data is somwhow wrong. Or is there something that I may overlook?

Some units who are only "partially crewed":

What sort of crew are you trying to assign to them? I think it is not a coincidence that all of those are Support Vehicles. Those use a Vehicle Driver and some Vehicle Gunners as normal for combat vehicles, but they can also use "Vehicle Crewmembers" (which use the Tech/Mechanic skill as their role-relevant skill). Do you have any personnel of that last role? If not, you might not be able to fully crew them.

Thanks, that was not obvious in the first place.

I have to come back again on a "conventional fighter":

There I have the same issue crew is at 1/3 I can assign a full complement which is then adding "vehicle crew" but I cannot assign "Vehicle Crew" separately even if I have them available.

I'm also experiencing this issue in 0.49.9 #793

Version: 0.49.9 #793 OS: Mac Monterey 12.4 Java: Homebrew 11.0.12

The below save file has Warrior VTOL 'partially crewed' at 1/2 crew. No further combat crew can be added.

Two vehicle crew are available. One is currently assigned as Vehicle Gunner, the other VTOL pilot. This is to aid testing (I forgot to reassign the gunner prior to saving, so you'll need to quickly switch them back to a VTOL pilot).

Update: clicking 'hire minimum complement' appears to resolve the issue. Once I did that I was able to assign/unassign crew as normal.

VTOL crews assigned before 0.49.8 will have crew assignment issues if not redone in 0.49.8 or more recent. Please check and ensure everything is newly assigned in 0.49.8/0.49.9-SNAPSHOT

Didn't know that, but in this case it was a brand new campaign created within 49.9 snapshot.

I can confirm this also solved my issue with conventional fighters

mwberlindeu commented 2 years ago

However, once I try to change crew I am not getting beyond partially crewed.

I have rechecked the issue again in 0.49.10

I have checked it with a tank unassigning an reassigning the crew and it worked. However, I also tried it with a conventional fighter, and here I was not offered the menu item for a cremember and "hire full complement" did also not help.
