S!

I have been off these forums and haven't flown IL2 for since April 2006, and so my apologies if this has been asked before.

I got back into the game with gusto about 2 weeks ago, bought 1946, reinstalled all of the utilities I used to use, but I have never used Groupcloner, so this is a first time through for me.

Everything seems to work fine, except for one thing: the test gun emplacements I made appear in the mission map where I placed the rocket object about 10 klics from where I placed them in the mission. This happens consistenly, no matter what size maps I use. I made the test gun emlacement on several different size maps, and tested them on the same map (new mission file of course) or on larger and smaller maps. No joy--same problem.

The instructions say to place the object on the 10000m x 10000 meter point in the lower corner of what ever map I'm using, which I've done. But I need to zoom into the ground level in order to configure the obect, so I don't imagine that is the problem. I know I am doing something just plain stupid, but the trouble is, I'm too stoopid to find it!

Can anyone help out?


Thanks in advance!

Mark

Here is one of my files (Russian Field Hospital) that I use for Groupcloner. It works fine for me. Give it a try.

Thanks Zeus-Cat, I'll give it a try. I don't understand why when my rockets on ny mission map are set around an airfield, say N-S-E-W, but when I replace with the objects file through the Cloner, they are N-S-E-W, but only kilometers away!?!? So the configuration of the object is maintained, and they are placed correctly relative to location, but are literally miles apart.

Hey Mark,
Never tried this actually so can't be of any assistance at all. Sounds a good idea but by the time I work out how to use to I could probably have made the map by hand anyway - the first time at least.

Got it! Procedural error. Jude, this really does work nifty and easy. I was skipping a step--there are only like 4 or 5. As I said...Iwas being stoopid.
