Industrial Target Error

I am running a modified SE to represent the BoB using the Kuban Map. However I have been getting DCS errors when targeting Industrial targets.

Essentially I've narrowed it down to an object palced at the target. It looks like a stationary gaz_M1 is placed under the object being targeted. Unfortunarely DCS is throwing up an "unknown Transporter type" error when analysing the results.

I've done a search of the forum and nobody else is reporting it, so I'm presuming it is something I've done.

Just for my peace of mind, can you confirm that DCS/MP4 does use the gaz_m1 as an object to represent an industrial target and that it is something that DCS should recognise. That would at least give me an area to concentrate on.`

Hi Brigstock,

Yes, confirmed. It is placed by the DCS.

Allied Dummy Target Object: GAZ_M1
Axis Dummy Target Object: Kettenkrad
Neutral Dummy Target Object: Wagon1

I am checking out the code at the moment.

FYI

I'm sure it was working with the earlier Ver3.00(a) releases.
Issue has been prevelent with ver3.00(A8).
I've just installed ver3.00(A11) but not had a chance to use it yet

After going through some of the missions I've noticed that in the later files. DCS is producing targets using their verbose name rather than their static designation. Is this relevent ?

[eaf92_brigstock]

I've just had a browse through unit name mapping. There are a lot of entries lost for some reason relating to unfrastructure. I would presume that all infrustructure would have an entry per mission if it was still live.

It could be a case of me rebuilding that table to get this issue fixed. Almost certain that is where the issue lies

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Hmm, seems like a bug somewhere. The DCS *should* replace (in the .mis file) all the long infrastructure names with the corresponding "Static" names.

Last night I checked the operation of industrial targeting in a test coop - all worked well. It looks like you changed some things in the Industrial_Installations table; maybe we need to get together on TS some time.

Yep, agree on the TS offer.

As far as I can see the industrial_installations table is good. However I've noticed that in the unit_mapping_table, the industrial targets are not getting carried forward to the next mission.

Here's my industrial_targets table

INSERT INTO `Industrial_Installations` VALUES ('England', 'r', 'Portsmouth', 'Docks', 'Portsmouth_Docks_Fuel_1', 'Fuel', '600000', 'Operational', '600000', '0', 114844, 92947, 360, 114844, 92947, 360, NULL, '-80Q1 -10', '', 0);

INSERT INTO `Industrial_Installations` VALUES ('England', 'r', 'Dover', 'Docks', 'Dover_Docks_Fuel_1', 'Fuel', '300000', 'Destroyed', '0', '0', 184955, 49137, 360, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '194007141000', 0);
INSERT INTO `Industrial_Installations` VALUES ('England', 'r', 'Dover', 'Docks', 'Dover_Docks_Fuel_2', 'Fuel', '300000', 'Destroyed', '0', '0', 184937, 49159, 360, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '194007141000', 0);
INSERT INTO `Industrial_Installations` VALUES ('England', 'r', 'Dover', 'Docks', 'Dover_Docks_Fuel_3', 'Fuel', '300000', 'Destroyed', '0', '0', 184921, 49182, 360, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '194007141000', 0);
INSERT INTO `Industrial_Installations` VALUES ('England', 'r', 'Dover', 'Docks', 'Dover_Docks_Fuel_4', 'Fuel', '300000', 'Destroyed', '0', '0', 184917, 49283, 360, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '194007141000', 0);
INSERT INTO `Industrial_Installations` VALUES ('England', 'r', 'Dover', 'Docks', 'Dover_Docks_Fuel_5', 'Fuel', '300000', 'Destroyed', '0', '0', 184880, 49393, 360, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '194007141000', 0);

You'll notice it is modified. The only real difference is the null entries for the sm_x y z and destruction columns. However the portsmouth entry has all the info but is still not being generated in the missions.

I've a feeling my issue is linked to those two tables
