Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.20 UPDATE

[Jason Petho]

CSVN 1.20 UPDATE



Errata
• No errata for 1.20

Enhancements
• Implemented new and improved Tool Bars.
• Implemented colour-coded border map labels.
• Implemented dynamic, customizable message dialog backgrounds (with all such image BMP’s in a new game folder, Backgrounds).
• Implemented two new CSEE message dialogs: Bulletin (between Message & Report in size), and Remark (the smallest, smaller that Note). Also implemented new CSEE functions pertaining to the new dialogs, including an auto sizing, all-purpose dialog() function.
• Incorporated the previous Monochrome (“Coin”) bases mod as the new Alternate Bases. The earlier Alternate Bases have been retained as Insignia Bases.
• In user.lua, revised csee_check() with improved CSEE memory management (garbage collection)
• Reinforcement arrival scatter extends to all types of reinforcements, not just paratroops.

Fixes
• Increased size of some game engine memory buffers to mitigate the possibility of CSEE-related memory overruns.
• Fixed a bug blocking helicopter overflights of fully or over-stacked hexes.
• Fixed a bug where the Command Report might show an undercount of unavailable artillery units.
• Lua Constants – whether set in init.lua, user.lua, or in the scenario.lua file – will no longer be saved in the game file. This will bypass the possibility of saving problematically long Lua constant values, which might overrun some internal program buffers leading to crashes and/or corrupted save game files.
• Fixed unit flag issues, in particular how artillery ammo supply was calculated and the ability to build landing zones.
• Fixed vehicular movement issue when moving offroad.
• Fixed another recon by assault issue.
• Fixed a number of CSlint issues.
• Other minor fixes.
