Missing Ground Objects

[edeanp]

Unable to view any ground objects through Tacops or first person flight. Political zones are viewable through Tacops, yet upon increasing magnifciation, I am presented with an empty topo map. This occurs on all planetoids even though I've double-checked all ingame switches to verify these features are activated. All other aspects of game run smoothly! Any insite provided will be thought of most appreciatively...

Just to double check, from the TACOPS computer, click the options command (second from the top on the right side) and in the filter section make sure that the objects are all checked in the first section and at the bottom, make sure that Hide TTDS (think that's right) and Hide Objects are UNchecked.

I should also ask, have you ever been able to view surface objects?

All switches are active except 1.Hide TTDS, 2. Hide Objects, 3.Target Camera

And Yes! I've seen the ground objects and installations before. However, I'm unsure as to what I could have done that may have caused their disappearence/inablity to appear.

Just in case, is there a way to backup the Save-Game File for reinstallation?

Yep, copy the save game folder from you BC3K directory unto the desktop.

I've had this happen to me, I had used shift+h to remove the tags. I went back to rain another Tanix on the heads of the Insurgents on the Moon and viola! no objects. The difference was that I also had no objects anywhere. I checked the filter options and sure enough, all objects were turned off. You might try unchecking everything and then checking each option one by one.

As has been said, just make a copy of the directory.

Thanks for your help, gentlemen! I reinstalled and trasfered the save folder. It works fine now, possibly because I applied the mappak BEFORE patching 2.08 to 2.09... who knows!

Happy Hunting!!!
