chromium Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Regarding the autosaved file, the way I see it the package autosaves the scenery every 5 minutes. Say a server is supposed to restart after 6 hours (the last option you've added), then the package would initiate the last autosave after exactly 6 hours, which is the time at which the server restarts. Explains why the file's in use and can't be renamed. Won't work, cause as you reload the file the second time it will be the same file (DAWS_autosave.miz) that is loaded.. and when it's loaded, it is considered in use by windows for the entire mission time. Also, if you check the code you will notice that DAWS make an autosave right before the server restart, to be sure that you won't miss nothing in the subsequent reload. It's still a beta feature, anyway .

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

chromium Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Hi Chromium, thanks for your work, I have a little question : does this script save the flags values ? IE : on our server we will have a mission with a marker which increments everytime something is killed, to act like a score. Uhm, To be honest I never checked out, but I don't think so, cause the idea is to leave the SSE doing it's work whitout interference and to avoid issue with other "flag-driven" code... and I never build up a flag-traking option. I would also be a mess to consistently track them if it doesn't do by itself. I give a 0.1% that DAWS saving system tracks flag status. Will every triggers including flags, or "Time over XX s after mission start" be reset ? Given what said above, the answer is 99.9% yes. I don't have my usual PC access till a coulple of days, so best is that you try with a smallest dedicated mission with one trigger: ONCE -> TIME MORE 10 -> Flag on (1). then you save after 11 seconds or more and check the saved file.

chromium Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 For both Picchio and CallsignFrosty Issues are different. Very much. Picchio: your issue is about saving, and as I asked you by PM I can't do nothing if you don't provide me the miz file. Also, please check that you don't have mods installed... if you have mods, 1) retry without mods to check if is the mod. 2) if the mod is causing the issue, please tell me which mod is. In particoular something is failing when DAWS try to retrieve the info of a particoular object (unknown). I'm asking about mods cause not always those info are retrievable from mod object. If no mod, I need to understand which object exactly is that cause the error... to do that, I need the miz file. CallsignFrosty: You can save the mission. I have to say that it seems a DCS error, caused (don't know why) by something that have to do with DAWS. As for Picchio, I need you to send me the .miz files. Please check for mod also.. I see, for example, that you are running LoATC. I don't know actually if there are any kind of compatibility issue (I don't think so). I would like to point out that every time I push a release (even beta), it's tested by at least 4 people in very different situation and configuration... but obviuosly I can't guarantee the result in any situation and configuration... anyway all the last time that issue was in place, every time I needed the user support with log, miz file and sometimes (when he's using mods) test to solve it. It's really important your direct support when an issue came out: a small issue is not sufficient sadly... I need almost always dcs.log file and the .miz file. PS: if you rename dcs.log in dcs.txt you can upload it directly in the post, together with the miz file, whitout having to rely on an external download site ;) Thanks :) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes.

chromium Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Picchio, I sent you a PM. The issue is probably due to normandy / WWII asset pack... which I can't test cause I don't own them... I will give a try as soon as possible with a friend... but it's better if you please test daws on any mission running caucasus, nevada or persian gulf and confirm it's ok (to confirm that is a normandy/wwII issue and not something else related to you in specific) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes.

Alpenwolf Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Work and development on this mod have been stopped by chromium for understadable reasons. Therefore, it is up to us users to fix this mod and keep it up to date. Almost every time ED releases an update, it causes some bugs and malfunctions in the script. If anyone out there is familiar with .lua scripting and can help us out, please do so and upload the updated version of this mod right here on this forum for all of us users to see and download. Been trying to figure out, how to fix the feature where one can have the server rotate after a certain amount of time (in hours) and so far unsuccessfully. Ain't a good .lua scripter myself, after all. Probably other features don't work properly either. Haven't tested them all. The latest version of the DAWS Package mod with two fixes added by myself is attached to this post. __________DAWS_Package_252.zip Cold War 1947 - 1991 Discord Helicopters Tournaments Combined Arms Tournaments You can help me with keeping up the server via PayPal donations: hokumyounis@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
