played Oman 64 on "TacticalGamer.com - PR v0.7b - 62 Open Slots" as Commander of the MEC Yesterday and neither me nor my SLs could build bunkers or firebases

the error message was "you can't deploy a BUNKER/FIREBASE more than 50 meters away from a SUPPORT TRUCK" (the screenshot shows that the support truck is right next to me)

here is what I did:
- joined a squad as SM
- decided a few seconds before the round starts that a commander is needed, i apply for it, and select Officer Kit ("Select a different kit"-message shows)
- i select a spawn point and in the same moment when the round begins i hit pageup to accept, followed by return, and spawn at that location
- i perform a bit CO-chatter per voip
- sq 2 requests a build order, i accept
- sq 2 cannot build because i haven't placed a CP (i am not sure if the message stated that i asumed it myself because i forgot to build one right away), i place the CP at my spawn location
- i wait for logistics, tell sq 2 to retry, accept their build order and then the message about the support truck appears the first time (that i recognize) (on my map i could see that 2 support trucks were somewhat next to the SL)

things that didn't solve the problem:
- me trying to build a bunker or firebase
- different SLs trying to build stuff
- placing the BO without a request
- placing the BO per accepting a request
- me respawning with Officer Kit, trying every thing all over
- trying to place next to newly spawned trucks
- trying to place next to 2 support trucks
- trying all over, after i spawned a new CP (b/c old one got destroyed)

Additionally:
i have no exact information about where sq 2 tried to build the bunker/firebase, only that it was some where around the western flag (i think it was a bit NE of it trying to build a firebase)

That has happened to me today too. Same map (Oman), on [10th]' server. I'm sure I had all right (Command Post, truck in the area) but simply couldn't build.

Therefore, by the middle of the game i've been able to build bunkers over flags using the trucks that had spawn at my command post. So the bug may come from the MEC trucks spawning at main base.

Same here on Oman aswell as the MEC team whilest trying to build a bunker at hotel.

CO braught in another commander truck and all was rosey.

Joined game as an SL led squad. Sq5 dropped off a CO truck they grabbed from main base, Didn't work until we got another

I thought you couldnt build before the counter attack mode.

It's a bug or something.
You can't build anything with the trucks that are there when the round starts.

Just wait for a command post to spawn a new one and you should be all set.

EDIT: I see that Darktrooper already mentioned this fact. All right then, take this as a confirmation

if that is true, we need a more fitting error message

also it broken for Zetar Wetlands, then

gulf of oman has bugged supply trucks.
