Wrecking Crew

Pardon the night-time image, I turned the Gamma all the way up for it. We used to have a DCS Witchcraft that gave real-time placement of objects. That is what I made this factory setup with. What was that, ten years ago? There is a new effort called DCS Web Editor. I've just started looking into it. It also has a Moving Map that runs in a browser that displays my F10 view on a tablet. https://www.patreon.com/c/DcsWebEditor/posts

I'm attaching my Client and Server logs. When I try to join my server that is on my LAN, the Server's List Of Players screen never shows any indication of my Client joining. I have also tried joining directly to my server by its IP address and get the same problem. Hollo Pointe Server Logs 202412.7z Hollo Pointe Client 202412.7z

I noticed my TrackIr was off unexpectidly. My computer wanted to go into DND Mode when playing a game -- I turned that off and now TrackIr stays on.. I'm in this thread bc I can't join in MP dcs.log

I used to use the Time More for the same thing. But, I no longer wanted to keep track of the seconds from one event to the next. Now I only use Mission Start for each one. Mine load and display in the order that they are in the Events. Much simpler.

These docs have been around for a while, happy to share.. If you want to use Flags with 'alpha' names then just replace the numbers with words WC's Script & Mist Examples.luaWC's Flags.txt

Merry Christmas everyone! Where are the Christmas lights?

Same here. We think it is a Render issue, only happening in Multi Player. I can fly the same mission in SP no problem. Saw this from a log file (attached) -- 2024-12-07 00:47:35.326 INFO VISUALIZER (9248): render thread has stopped === Log closed. Many times I will click on a slot and the game freezes with the blue circle and crashes. I'm getting Frame Time spikes along with FPS stutters. And as an observation, when I run a proxy to show the map on my tablet, in MP it shows 'Error adding objects' and then resets itself to center screen; no problems in Single Player, just Multi Player. dcs.log.old Edit: add the server logs.. Edit: this was in Caucasus, continued problems there. I flew several hours yesterday w/o any problems in Syria. DCS Server Logs-WreckingCrew-20241207.zip

The 'DCS Web Editor' folks have a discord channel, and this is from it -

No. A Map View window that could be moved around the screen while flying.. ? -- Can the F10 Map View be exported to a second monitor, during flight?

Ahh, this is the same entry in my log.. 2024-11-11 16:58:19.398 ERROR ASYNCNET (Main): server_start failed: game already started

Yes, there is stuff in DCS log from earlier today, see the attachment. I'll do a fresh start for a clean log and see what I get for the next one, too. dcs-20241111-165914.log

'Error Starting Server' Displayed when Starting a Mission that was just uploaded, see the pic, lower left. I upload a new version of a mission and try to Run it and I get this message and the mission does not start. I had Stopped the previous mission. Reloading the DCS server fixes it. The server is on DCS 2.9.9.2474.

This _Zone Trigger mission uses just ME events.. BTW, those Mist unit in zone functions are typically used with a Mission Start event. The 'flag' in it goes On/True every second, when the function is run in the DCS engine. So, keep that in mind, that flag goes True every second. _Zone Trigger 29C0b.miz

I use a 'revision' system. Name of the mission, followed by the dcs version, a Letter for the Map, a single digit number and finally a lower case letter. I change the last two values often, with Save As. Like this: Boxcutter Sushi 28C1e.miz The Highway 29C3g.miz

You might be able to find it in the track files

Yep, the Do Script File will put the Mist..lua into the .miz file, so it will load with the mission, on multiplayer or single player. I like to add a Message To All that says,, 'Load Mist 4.5.126' or whatever the version is, with a Time of 1 second.

Hi, I looked at your mission. The KC135 MPRS looked to be fine,, no hoses extended. I let it fly through to the orbit. A few things. You could add a Game Master for your design phase Clients should not be additional units in a group; Clients should only be #1 in their group, if you want to add AI wingman, you can but they need for you the Client to contact the tower for Start Up and Taxi permission so they start correctly. If you do make a group of Clients then Client #1 has to Join b4 the other Clients can, which will be problematic. The KC135 needs another waypoint after #2 - Orbit. Right now it is orbiting between WP2 and the Landing WP3. Why do you have everything Hidden? Those Advanced Waypoint codes are showing that the KC135 tanker task is in effect. Those codes are described in the DCS User Manual, Actions List.

Just use Mission Start without any Conditions. You want a flag set to its random value immediately, with a Mission Start event, and before the flag is checked for its value in the following Once event. You could add a Time More condition to the Once event, like 5 seconds. I will separate the Set Random Flag into their own Mission Start events, and not put them all into the same Action on one event,,, but that's me.

'Because Franze was inverted'

Here's information on some Mist scripts that I have gathered over the years. I do like to script messages into a Mission Status script, with flags to control the flow. Maybe these examples will help you. The Flags document uses numerical values; those number values could be replaced with a naming scheme, now that flags allow alpha characters. Enjoy!
