Sometimes i have trouble with mission editor.
If i create a klaxxon (one!) or a supplyship or others and i save the mission i have 2-4 of the same ground object at the same place one object over next object. It seams also that some object killed an other. So if i set an klaxxon and a 4x20mm flak and save and reopend the mission the flak is deleted or the supply ship.Whats going wrong there?

I figured this one out when building ships, more specifically, when adding a wake to the ships.. it appeasr that if goundunits use the same texture ref they will default to one of the other ground unit, pot luck which you'll get, and quiet often they will apear one ontop of another.

The problem with the klaxon and the flack panzer is that they were built from the same basic model, and I believe use the same textures, causing this bug.. it's possible that if you place them further apart you will get both, but I don't think so. You'll probably be having this problem with the Liberty ship, and one of the others, I'm not sure which off the top of my head, but I did notice that these ships both used the same wake.tif If the problem is with any of my ships then may I suggest you download the Scharnhorst pack, which contains the updated ships with seperate tif refs for the wakes, thereby stopping this bug.

Unfortunately theres no fix unless you are able to do it yourself in OPS, or maybe point out what I've said here in the Tech forum and hope someone takes it p and changes the texture refs.

So, i have checked some things.And i have found the problem.I have opend a mission,with this problematic vehicles, with wordpad. It seems that the mission editor or the vehicle object use the same msn unit number,the flak has number one and the ship has also the same.After changing the number of one object,both will place right in game! :-)
Perhaps anyone can find it out,if it is a mission editor or an object problem.

Hey Rend.. good work, but could you do something that involves alot of testing?

Try making missions with the units you've had problems with, i.e. try to find exactly which units are causing problems when used in the same mission, be as specific as possible, and I'll take a look at them and try to find out what the problem could be, and see about fixing them.
