mini-map not showing roads always

[geoff]

I haven't spent much time with Win SPMBT yet. I've only played about three games, all of them generated battles GB vs Iraq March 1991.

I've noticed that in none of these battles do I see any of the roads that are on the main map on the mini-map screen.

At first I thought this was a new feature compared to the DOS version, but then I saw in the game guide that some of the screen shots had roads in the mini-map.

So I've tried just now loading a few of the supplied scenarios, and they all showed roads on the mini-map screen. And I've also tried generating a few more battles GB vs Iraq at various dates and some had roads that showed on the mini-map and some had roads that did not.

So I'm guessing this is some sort of bug?

(Even though I haven't played that many games, Win SPMBT is the only game I play at all regularly, and I've been at it (earlier versions) since 1998! Great game, love the windows upgrade!)

Yep, You found a genuine bug. We'll look into it

FYI it's tied in to ground level + the arid earth terrain. That's why it shows up some times and not others. Some maps use earth as the base terrain and when that type of map is flat you won't see the roads on the mini map

Ok, thanks
