Help with Native Transport

[Bill3000]

I'm making a Ww3 scenario with 3 maps: Surface, Air, Sea. Air and Sea maps are full "Ocean" Maps, so subs can move underwater and so cities won't be build. Here is my data:

Map 1 - Surface
Map 2 - Air
Map 3 - Sea

Here is an example I did for the Fighter for native transport:

0000000000000001

It's not working! Please help.

The collumn right before this one governs what worlds the unit can travel/exist on. So, if you wanted the fighter to be able to travel on maps 0 and 1, the last digits of the previous long collumn must be:

...000011

[Bill3000]

Already did that. I'm currently talking about the native transports themselves.

Bill it depends upon your @MAP_TRANSPORT_RELATIONSHIPS, post it here and I will be able to answer your question. BTW you may wish to consult the Sleague Tip on the topic. http://sleague.apolyton.net/Guides/s...t_worlds.shtml

[Bill3000]

Ok, here it is:

Maps:
Earth: 0
Air: 1
Sea: 2


@MAP_TRANSPORT_RELATIONSHIPS
0,1
0,2
0,0
1,0
2,0


And the Fighter's flags ( E and F)

0000000000001001,0000000000001001,

AND IT'S STILL NOT WORKING!

Two thoughts Bill,

You dont need the 4th, 5th and 6th map relationships because each relationship is two way. Get rid of them just to be sure it is not causing a problem.

Fill in the Map relations with 0,0 up to the full sixteen slots.

[William Keenan]

Yup your code is good, Bill.

Lets think .... Ok the only reason I and think that might happen is that the line in @Units_advanced does not correspond to @Units. In other words fighter is on line #20 in @units and #19 or #21 in @Units_advanced.

[Bill3000]

I never changed the Fighter's position in @UNITS

[John Possidente]

William is right; it all looks kosher. The only part you didn't include is the "Allowed on Map" section of @Units_Advanced. Like ghosh9 said, you must make sure that the unit in question is allowed to exist on all the maps you want it to travel to and from.

The only other possibility seems to be the "all ocean" maps. Any map that doesn't have the requisite amount of land and potential city sites--just like in the original Civ II--will bollux up the game. All of the maps in any scenario or mod must meet the same criteria to be valid as in the orignal game. So, for example, even though the gas giant in the SF game should technically have been all ocean, I didn't make it that way because that would have caused problems.
