I've just finished creating my USA Boss General... however, I've run into a small series of problems:

My USABoss uses AirF's spectre gunship... yet it never appears on the short cut bar in-game, and for some reason it cannot fire through the command center command button. The command center command set, the short cut command set, the OCL modules in the Command center, I've doubled and tripled checked all of them and I can't find the problem. :/

Additionally, the strategy center carpet bomber doesn't appear on the shot cut bar, although it does appear in the Strategy center and it DOES fire.

Furthermore, when I click to try and use paradrop, the game crashes... it didn't crash the first time, but three time afterwards it did. :/

Here's the code from the Boss Shortcut menu:

CommandSet ABoss_SpecialPowerShortcutUSA
  1 = Command_SpyDroneFromShortcut
  2 = Command_ParadropFromShortcut
  3 = AirF_Command_A10ThunderboltMissileStrikeFromShortcut
  4 = Early_Command_EmergencyRepairFromShortcut
  5 = Command_DaisyCutterFromShortcut
  6 = Command_FireParticleUplinkCannonFromShortcut
  7 = Command_SpySatelliteScanFromShortcut
  8 = Command_CIAIntelligenceFromShortcut
  9 = AirF_Command_SpectreGunshipFromShortcut
  10 = Command_LeafletDropFromShortcut
  11 = AirF_Command_CarpetBombFromShortcut
END

I created a different USA general... and even though he didn't have carpet bombers or early spectre gunships, his paradrop worked fine...

I have no idea what the problem here is, and the game crashing error is very cryptic.

Run WB ... If there is no error reinstall

[pi314159]

WB?

[RedLeader]

World Builder....The thing u make maps with!

[pi314159]

I don't make maps though?

[CommieDog]

WorldBuilder comes with an INI-checker that sniffs out most errors and even tells you where they are!

[pi314159]

Oooooh. That is pretty cool! I'll give that a try.

[pi314159]

All right, I corrected the dozen or so problems that the WB found... unfortunately the same series of errors still occurs. I'll reinstall... although I do doubt it'll solve the problem as all otehr paradrop and spectre gunships work fine

[CommieDog]

Don't give up yet. Post the relevant code and I'll take a look at it.

[pi314159]

I reinstalled, it didn't work. I did, however, replace the code for the USA Boss Command center (I just used Vanilla USA Command center code as a base, and inserted the USAF gunship and A10 airstrike code in place of the other ones.

I'm not sure why that didn't work, but it didn't... so I just used all the original USAF Command center code. That appears to have solved the problem entirely.

However, I'm still having 1 small problem: The Carpet bomber from the Boss's strategy center, even though it's the exact same code from the USAF and everything, it won't show up in the boss's shortcut menu.
