Damned - Gh0st

Thank you! I guess I jumped the gun when the update was released - I tried that exact line and received an error saying that it was incorrect, just tried it again and now it works

@BIGNEWY Howdy! What is the install ID for the Iraq terrain?

Are there plans to allow for restricting spawns on a side? With the current system you cant stop players from spawning as Red/Blue depending on airfield ownership. EX: Blue Players, Red AI Mission: When setting airfields as Dynamic Spawn, players have the option of spawning Red when that is not intended. The goal in this case would be to only allow spawns once the airfield becomes owned by Blue. Maybe in the password section, add an option in addition to Game master, Tac Commander, Observer, etc. for "Aircraft"? Side comment: The "COPY TO" other airfield function in the warehouse menu does not work for Aircraft Settings and Dynamic Slot/HotStart settings

Not all servers - see my post above. Hopefully it won't take long for either servers owners to transition to the new system or for ED to roll out a patch.

Issue seems to be related to having large amounts of the old version of player slots (non-dynamic). On the servers I run, the ones with 2,000+ slots have the issue, then ones with ~1,400 do not. I am currently transitioning all old version slots to the new dynamic system as a fix to the "DCS Not responding" issue when entering role select.

Thank you! Maybe as some kind of stop-gap, an API function could be added to the wishlist to be able to clear path generation/active combotasks? At least until the bug is fixed it would allow coders to call it prior to mission restarts to prevent the above bug

Edited the main post to contain an example mission. Replicated the bug in the following environments: Single Player Local Multiplayer Server Dedicated Multiplayer Server Regarding the mission example: After 2 minutes, the mission will attempt to restart. The bug seems to traced to order of operations for the mission restart functionality. Sometimes it will occur, sometimes it will not. NOTE: The example mission contains code snippets protected under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Contains pre-release code snippets for S.P.E.C.T.R.E. , the machine learning powered dynamic campaign framework.

Great point, Just re-ran the test mission in my original post and the bug is no longer present. Time to go remove my work arounds Considering this as Solved, thread closed

Groups with an active 'ComboTask Route' break the 'MissionRestart' event. When assigning 'ComboTask' Routes to groups during the mission, if the 'MissionRestart' event is triggered, the dedicated server becomes unresponsive and does not finish the MissionRestart event. Logs appear as follow: INFO Scripting (Main): event:type=mission restart WARNING TRANSPORT (Main): CREATING PATH MAKES TOO LONG!!!!! INFO Dispatcher (Main): Stop WARNING APP (Main): task "ComboTask" still exists WARNING APP (Main): task state for "ComboTask" still exists At this point the mission will hang and not continue the MissionRestart Event. Is there a way to clear "ComboTask" tasks and task states? Cycling through all groups and assigning an empty combotask/route before the MissionRestart does not prevent the server hang. Destroying all units before the MissionRestart does not prevent the server hang. I cannot find any documentation on the lines: WARNING TRANSPORT (Main): CREATING PATH MAKES TOO LONG!!!!! WARNING APP (Main): task "ComboTask" still exists WARNING APP (Main): task state for "ComboTask" still exists If groups are not assigned a ComboTask Route during gameplay, the MissionRestart event completes successfully. Any guidance on this would be extremely helpful, thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example Mission and Log is attached.

Are there any updates for this bug? Thanks.

I discovered later in the evening that removeMark also triggered the bug. Thanks for sending it up the chain!

When trigger.action.markToCoalition() is used/triggered, it closes the re-arm & refuel menu. When markers are being generated by the server this prevents the player from rearming. In the test mission I have a marker created every 10 seconds for the first minute. If you open the re-arm window and activate a dropdown/right click on a pylon, when the marker is placed, it closes the menu. This happens in single player + multiplayer.

Experiencing this currently, but found a solution based on @BIGNEWY's suggestion that does not require losing all your configs/settings. In your \Saved Games\edModelViewerTrunk\Config folder is a JSON file named "ModelViewer2.json" Open the file and search for the "LiveriesToolPlugin" section. Replace it with the following. "LiveriesToolPlugin": { "WidgetParams": { "dockingAreas": 15, "isDocked": true, "isVisible": true, "lastDockArea": 1, "posX": 0, "posY": 51, "sizeX": 640, "sizeY": 745 } }, The short of it: We go into the config file and set the Livery Picker back to "Docked". It will show back up for you and then you can undock/reposition at will. Useful when using the keyboard shortcuts to move a hidden window doesn't work Hope it helps! (only reason I'm necro'ing this post is that it's still relevant and this post is the first google result when searching "DCS model viewer livery tool stuck offscreen")

Additionally to the above post, ensure the Flight Director is turned off and only engage it after you have come to a hover manually and trimmed your aircraft

I had collaborated with Chromium, DSMC now includes a working auto-restart as part of the mod if you wish to skip the powershell and go that route
