PegasusJF Posted November 25, 2001 Report Posted November 25, 2001 I have been noticing a strange occurance when I observe planets in Tacops. I get the large boxes with the specific castes, but the small boxes that signify the mission zones start to fill these larger boxes, and then they all inexplicably disappear and start from the beginning again (it seems to have a constant rate). For large planets like Earth, it doesn't even finish showing all the mission zones, while for smaller planets like Mars it shows all but they also disappear. Please help.Also, this may belong in the general discussion form but I feel this is severe enough to warrant it's mention here. In BC3K 2.09. I was able to set waypoints for craft CURRENTLY in space on the planetside tacops screen. I have looked at the manual and I see little difference between the interfaces of BC3K and BCM. The problem is that I cannot set waypoints planetside for craft currently in space. Since all craft seem to start in the middle of the map after planetfall and the apparent lack of time acceleration this could be problematic for gameplay. Well, thank you for listening. I would greatly appreciate responses to these problems. God Bless! PegasusJF[ 11-25-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
Soback Posted November 25, 2001 Report Posted November 25, 2001 Ok, if you are talking about BCM then those rectangles flashing are mission zones, they should be flashing like this (appearing and dissapearing) it draws you attention to them and is not a bug. If they are flashing a little too fast to select them (known and will be updated so that they flash slower in a later patch) then you can select it from the menu you can find to the left of the screen in TACOPS.

I am assuming that there are mission zones all over the earth map. But, these mission zones do not even appear around the lower right quadrant because the game begins to draw in the zones in their respective locations starting in the upper left, finishes drawing in the top of the map, then starts in the lower left quardrant, and POOF, it all disappears and restarts again and again! I cannot see any mission zones in the lower right quadrant even after zooming in. I may be already discribing what you already know, I apologize if I am. It's late and I can't sleep. God Bless!

Soback Posted November 25, 2001 Report Posted November 25, 2001 Yes, and that happens because they refresh TOO FAST. Anyway, for now you can select the mission zone you want from the menus to the left in the TACOPS view. Later, it will be fixed so that they flash slower and you will have time to see all of them and click.
