Beef Stu - Basically, when you or Mazikainen or anyone else find a road that doesn't seem to function correctly, just post it here, and I'll try to find out if there are any errors.

Once there is a compiled list, the list can be forwarded to NSD along with the coordinates for a fix.

I’ll also check out the section that you mentioned near the creek and see if I can get the coordinates to that one also.

Thanks,

Mazikainen - can you draw a red circle around the eye icon - I tried to zoom in but I still cant tell where the icon is located.

Crop! Zoom! Enhance!



I think the crossroads marked with the red arrow is the culprit. Just try it yourself by ordering the artillery in AN08 to deploy near the cornfield etc. It reproduced when I tried it again.

Look at image screen 0152 and you will find a road glitch at that location.

Mazikainen - looking at the picture below, are you trying to use one of the roads that deadend, there are two of them in the vicinity.

Other than this, I can't seem to find any errors near the point of your arrow, in your above picture.

Nope, not a dead end. At least it shouldn't be. I did some more digging and I think I narrowed the place down. If you try and deploy your artillery in front of the woods looking towards Dunker Church (from the union perspective) The road works just fine up to a point.

Up until here all is well:


But if you order the battery deply just a little bit more to the front:


..And it takes a very, very long detour almost to Sharpsburg and back. I'm not sure if this is a broken road or a glitch in the routing algorithm, you be the judge.

And here's another one I found from AN03, it's right in front of the left side of the sunken road/bloody lane portion.


I noticed this one in a scenario where you attack the lane as union as well as this one. Looks like the maps could do with a day of marching to and fro on the roads.

It would be handy to get a function where you could get the map coordinates under the cursor to display for easier pinpointing or something.

Happy hunting!

Currently sweeping out all the roads. So far have only found 1:

The commander is on top of it. Road leading from the N. Woods to the E. Woods.
Will continue process.

All - OK, all of the post seems to be concentrated in the same general area, so I'll go back over these areas this weekend.

I'll try to post an amended bmp file for testing!

Yep. I noticed it too, the hard way. Sent French in to support Uncle John's attack, and they seemed to just disappear. Next thing I knew they were attempting to march into Sharpsburg well north of their ordered destination and engaging D.R.Jones division. Figured out later it was the aforementioned road issue.

The latest Courier & Maps mod, (1.4025), have all the road errors fixed.
