@dutchfighter
Hello. Try this:-
Download this Vietnam map
A copy of this map should also be in your …Add-On Vietnam\Docs\Navaids and Maps folder, in case you don’t want to download it from my link. -
Put this map (vietnamMap.png into your …\MissionCommander\Maps folder and/or your …Add-On Vietnam\Campaign folder
-
Open Mission Commander and then open the TE or Campaign file you want to look at in Vietnam Theater.
-
Go to the Map tab of Mission Commander. In the upper Right corner, you will see a button that says “Browse Own Map” Click on it, and navigate to the vietnamMap.png file you saved above. Select it, click “open” and your map should appear.
You won’t have to do this again after successfully loading the map.
For the Caution box “Theater is not setup for using Multi UI Map” just click on OK to clear the Caution box and continue on your merry way.
For the Unique ID box, it is telling you that you have a duplicate objective ID in the database for that file (campaign, TE or whatever). MC automatically fixed it for you by assigning one of the objectives a new unique ID. You will need to save the file (click “Save” button in upper right corner) to save the correction and this will avoid this issue in the future when you open this file.
Always get in the habit of saving any file you want to change or save in a safe location before you mess with it.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Both messages you see are NOT errors.
Just read what the message tells you nothing more nothing less.The first one tells you MC found double use of ID numbers. It has fixed this so there is no problem. However you need to know this so you don’t forget to save the mission.
The second message also says exactly what it is.
Vietnam theater has NOT been set up to use the muli background map. Its up to the theater builders to correct this.
A normal user knows from this message only one UI background map is available -
@Falcas thank you for your explaining,
No they are not errors but i dont wanted to make a new topic. Like i mentioned in one of my posts.
I do have some other issues with commander that i cant fix it but i didnt made a screenie.
I forgot. It dont happen all the time but in one of the tabs i believe its units or pol/pak tab but when i scroll down all the icons and text are chancing in to a burry/ spagetti mess up. But i am still trying to figure out if this happen only on some theater or on all theaters i have 5 or 6 theaters installed. Also i forgot what theater this happend before i forget to mention the map screen was showing in to that tab thingy i had.
The more i scrolled down the more it made the units or the pol/pak tab blurry/spagetti.The other thing i have
some times on the screen where in my first item have no background when i change for example buildings off or on or airports it dont change i have to reload or close and startup mc again. This i didnt have ever before. Its on all theatersIn the past you helped my via email with screen resolution i had back then a weird resolution, i could not scroll. I remember you name now.
Still a big thank you for all your dedicated work on all your 3 party software, and i hope i could enjoy your other work in the future. For years i am looking forward to fly in bms above central europe. Thats the only thing i am really missing in bms, Simulate frisian flag nato exercise, intercept/escort tu 95 's above the north sea.
And many other things flying above central europe can be. Lots of real life f16 (former) users out in that region. And thats the only thing missing from all theaters that er made.Sadly the baltic theater have the dutch landmess but not the airports etc. So its for me waiting of central europe is finishing or the baltic people would fill in the dutch landmess. To fly finaly the dutch f16’s where they belong (smiley face)

@Tomcattwo also to you thank you very much for explaining, now you mention it i could have solved that blank background issue my self but its very kind of you to explain it.
I going to try it later to night.
Edit :
Well my install of vietnam had the vietnammap.png in side after all, so i used that one with the browse own map button.
Now its fixed again thank you very much
-
@Falcas i found it again what i was talking about , the blurry/spagetti thing
it happen in vietnam theater and nevada but i am going to check if others also do this.
it only happen on this tab i am in the screenies
also when i switch to a other tab and go back it starts a little bit messy but when scrolling it ends up like the screenies above
edit : i have made a short video <no audio> to give a little bit better overview what is happening and what effect it have when swithing between tabs
-
Known issue, already fixed
-
@Falcas when was the last update then? I downloaded mc recently?
-
For the latest available, see the first post of the MC thread.
MC threadHowever, if a coder says its fixed, does not mean its already released.
