FlightControl Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) All, This BUG report is for multi-player only! When a joining a remote server mission in multi player, and logging into a new slot once the mission is loaded, the client groups are non-existing on the server. Underlying is an explanation following the attached test mission documenting the bug so that ED can reproduce it. It involves a dummy Client group setup as a MP slot in the mission. Take a look at the continuous trigger in the test mission documenting the behaviour when executed in two different scenarios: OK - The working scenario, joining locally "Client Connection Test": When running the underlying attached test mission on the server PC locally, and then joining the SU-25T slot on the server PC, the DCS MP server will execute the following scripting functions successfully: 1. local ClientData = Group.getByName( "Client Connection Test" ) --> ClientData will be populated with a reference to the Group as defined in the ME "Client Connection Test". ClientData will not be nil. 2. ClientData:isExist() --> This function will correctly return true. NOT OK - The non-working scenario and BUG, joining "Client Connection Test" remotely... When running the underlying attached test mission on the server PC, and then joining the SU-25T slot from a second remote PC, the DCS MP server will execute the following scripting functions with errors: 1. local ClientData = Group.getByName( "Client Connection Test" ) --> ClientData will be populated with a reference to the Group as defined in the ME "Client Connection Test". ClientData will not be nil. 2. ClientData:isExist() --> This function will INCORRECTLY return false!!!! <--- BUG!!! I have re-tested this issue with the attached mission file on the following DCSW versions, and the bug is consistent in these versions: - 1.5.2.48726 - 1.5.2.48162 - 1.5.1.47285 Server hosters, please try to verify this with the attached mission yourself on your MP server and client installation (2 PCs). If you can resimulate this, please help to report to ED this issue. It is rather serious as it blocks my complete MOOSE framework from working correctly in a MP environment. I also believe lots of other scripts created by the community will not work due to this error. Probably, this error is only a symptom and the problem may be larger, like related to other scripting functions not working correctly. Please report back your findings below. Thank you in advance, SvenClient Connection Test Bug in 1.5.2.miz Edited April 9, 2018 by BIGNEWY TITLE [TABLE][sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]| Join MOOSE community on: DISCORD :thumbup: Website of the MOOSE LUA Framework.

Steggles Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) It's a known bug that multiplayer client groups are not accessable. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147792 Edit: I run into this problem with my EWRS script.

FlightControl Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi Steggles, Thanks for the help, but i think this report is about something different. The MIST solution is not a valid workaround and we should try not to distract ourselves. The group CAN be retrieved with the Group.getByName() function server, but the problem is, that the Group:isExist() returns false on the server when the client is started remotely. Anyway, the moderators have alraedy confirmed the issue and are looking into it. kind regards, Sven [TABLE][sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]| Join MOOSE community on: DISCORD :thumbup: Website of the MOOSE LUA Framework.

FlightControl Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I will! The moderators will flag the report as REPORTED, once it has been confirmed by the ED dev team. Also would like to say the great idea and script you made on the EWR :-) [TABLE][sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]| Join MOOSE community on: DISCORD :thumbup: Website of the MOOSE LUA Framework.

Coug4r Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 There was a release scheduled for this weekend but it had some compiling issues and is now planned for next week. Lets hope they fixed a couple of the scripting issues. I also have a script that won't work in MP, luckily it's not an important script. - If man were meant to fly he'd be filled with helium.

FlightControl Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well, nothing is really important, as DCS is a game in the end. But ED is for sure aware that people have patience, just for how long... I hope it is not going to take them another 6 months to get these fixes in.

Drexx Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Wonder if this is fixed in 1.5.5?
