I try to update AR to 8673on2474. Everything not related to Map-Editor seems to work and (balance check and playtesting needed, but seems to work - tested with 8517on2400). But some things need a working and more important - reliable, Map-Editor. I don't know if it's caused by something on my side or the Map-Editor itself, but here is what is happening to me:

- every Map-Editor higher then 8517on2400 (Jan18) doesn't allow me to change the faction of the mercs. Under "mercs", when clicking the button for faction, nothing happens at all. (true for 1.13alone and with AR)
- my workarround for this is doing faction changes in 8517 and then copy the map to 8673, but I'm not sure what issues that might cause
- tileset "Dead Airstrip (Drassen - c13) is messed up. Instead of cargo containers on map are bath furnitures
- on other maps also recognized mixe up stuff
- downloaded the cargo.jsd by Hawkeye here, didn't help
- followed Hawkeyes advise and contacted Kriplo, no response so far
- yes, I could check all tilesets and JA2set.dat, but what's the use if I don't know what's causing the problems?

I can do all the stuff I want with 8517on2400, anything higher causes the named problems. And worse, I can't trust anything with this newer Editors, who knows what more is borked? Not me at least.

So, if anybody capeable doing such things, might find the time to take a look, it would be fine. Like I said, not sure, maybe it's caused by something unaware on my side, but to confirm this I need somebody else trying this and give me feedback. But if this is true for everyone, map-editing a recent 1.13 would be pretty restricted. Still hoping it's caused by me, then it might be solveable.

I also expereince the "faction can't be changed anymore" issue. This could use a fix other than "use an older editor". speechless

Fixed in r8683.

Two things we can learn from this one:
1. Never ever insert into a list of defines unless you make sure that the following items retain their original number!
2. Never ever use the same name for two global variables unless you want to make debugging hard for your fellow coders!

edit: If you can get Flugente to fix the crash for barrel extensions in the debug exe that I reported some time back, I would be grateful.

That's very, very great news. Looking forward to the next release even more now thumbs up

Don't know if this is solved with this anyway, but the "faction change" is also happening when trying to change ownership of items.

I'm realy happy someone capable is looking into this, thanks a lot! happy

Yes, ownership is using the same functionality.

Depressives Brot compiled an editor based on this fix and it works like a charm again.

Should be on his skydrive soonish or you might have to show up in the Discord Channel if you can't compile yourself (like me).
