Unknown object type

Post by gulfy32 »

Hi all,

I am creating a template for the Africa NE map.
I have placed some German tanks on the map.
When I go to initialize the campaign, i receive the error
SEDCS::modUtilities.strObjectClass: unknown object type Stab_sPzAbt_Tiger
I do have HistorySFX Mod objects checked.

Do I need to add the object in the Object_Specifications table?
If so, what does the "number_name" column mean within that table?

Thanks.

Hi gulfy,

TD v4.11 added support for some very large formations of tanks and trucks etc. Sometimes over 40 vehicles in one object.

When I was adding support for these things to SEOW I had to draw the line somewhere - I stopped at 32. Nothing over 32 is supported, and simply adding any such object to the Object_Specifications table in the DB will not help. It would also take changes to the Columns_Vehicles table and to the internals of the DCS code to extend support to more complex objects.

Cheers,
4S
