[DCS:W] *MULTIPLAYER* Logbook...1.2.3 Ready and works on *all* servers.

UPDATED FOR 1.2.4

Hi all,

Decided to post a new thread as a continuation of this one - http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101568

This Mod enables the in-game Logbook to track your Multiplayer flights as well as your Singleplayer flights.

It's a simple install. REQUIRES NO MANUAL FILE EDITING...Either use JSGME or overwrite your files in the DCS World directory (remember to back up the files you're overwriting)

After install, start DCS:W via the launcher and click Multiplayer, after joining a server and flying a plane. Click exit to exit the server...at this point the Debriefing screen will load and your logbook will be updated. Just like in Singleplayer...

Here's a screenshot from a mission I just flew on the 104th server...

There are some requirements...

1. Your logbook name and Multiplayer name must be the same.

2. you MUST start Multiplayer via the launcher.

3. when flying Multiplayer, stick to ONE plane...fly your mission/die/eject/land..even respawn...but YOU MUST STICK TO ONE PLANE...then 'EXIT' to the debriefing screen to update your stats. You can then rejoin the server and chose another plane. This is neccessary to due to how DCS:W handles player slots. I did have the mod tracking multiple player planes during a session, but if another player takes your slot in the same session, their stats will be added to yours.

I'll upload the mod to Userfiles but in the meantime,

Hi Ebbs I was using the DCS grey launcher and then starting MP from inside the UI, had no issues with it not working.:thumbup:

just so you know,

Note we don't have to change the initiator notepad++ anymore? to our names?

Thanks guys :)

Basically the last aircraft you joined is tracked.

Are you sure about this Mastiff? The mod only updates the logbook when you see the debriefing screen. If you start MP directly then exit, you won't see a debriefing screen so your logbook won't update.

And yes, no more 'initiator' changing. it's all automatic now :)

Im pretty sur i have been getting briefing screen every time.

Just double check for me Mastiff. load DCS via the MP icon...join a server...join a plane then exit server. if you see Debriefing screen then all is well.

the MP icon yes that doesn't work, mistake, I thought you stating don't use the SP ui icon but use the MP one?

So yes the MP icon doesn't work..

yes for some reason everyones install is different, theres several icon colors and I guess it depends where you live, to which one the installer places?

the MP icon yes that doesnt work, mistake I thought you sere stating dont use the SP ui icon but use the MP one?

 

So yes the MP icon doesnt work..

I was confused on this too, the instructions above state use the green icon, which by default is my MP direct exe.

This MOD works great now Ebs! A big thanks from me.

Thank you for all the work. I'll be installing this as soon as I get the chance to get back and update to 1.2.3!

Mod now on ED site - http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/273485/

Edited first post...

This mod is great, one thing i've noticed is that my game CTDs everytime I get a medal and view the logbook after exiting MP.

The medal and the score get logged, but DCS crashes. It's no biggie because I just open dcs again and everything is there. Just thought this might be something to help you sqaush some bugs if needed.

This happened to me as I started a new log book. I forgot what award I got, but it was a medal.

Same problem here. Got a medal and it crashed.

The logging is also a bit irregular. Sometimes it logs your flight and sometimes it does not. Cant pinpoint the problem atm.

EDIT: Going back to the original files of DCS 1.2.3

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is with the 'awards' crash. and it's a case of swapping one line in me_debriefing.

HiJack, you're gonna have to be a bit more specific mate. So far, the mod has properly updated the logbook for every mission I've flown.

I've attached the 'fixed' me_debriefing.lua file to this post. could people try it out and let me know?

I'm having issues with MP and it not updating and Crashing. In some private LAN servers.

So far it works great for me. No crashes and records all MP time and kills so far.

Got no new medals yet with the Mod so I cannot tell about that issue.

Thanks for the MOD, it is really nice to have!

Mastiff, what exactly?

Thanks man! I'm really glad you like it.

Mastiff, what exactly?

I play conect to my buddies machine and when after an hour of play, I exit brief comes up and then Crash.

Mastiff, that might be related to the me_debriefing.lua thing. please download that file. replace it in my mod and try again.

I just ask that you let me know if it works or not!

Just confirmed that the new me_debriefing.lua works both in single player mode and a solo multiplayer LAN session.

Thanks again, Ebs, for a stellar mod.
