Please, I need feedback to see if this is just my problem or not... :helpsmilie: I've got the same problem with Tacview 1.0 on DCS A-10 1.1.1.0 and BS2. Some Object_Type referenced in the export script are no more defined in the DCS database (the script could not be executed). To fix it, until an official patch from the Tacview team, I've commented the following lines in the "DCS A-10C\Config\Export\TacviewExportDCS.lua" export script file (i.e. append -- at their beginning): (l.83) -- [wsTypeAutogun] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.84) -- [wsTypeSoldier_AK] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.85) -- [wsTypeSandbox] = 0x89, -- Building (l.86) -- [wsTypeBunker] = 0x89, -- Building (l.91) -- [wsTypeRPG] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.92) -- [wsTypeSoldier_RPG] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.97) -- [wsTypePredator_TrojanSpirit] = 0x28, -- Light/Unarmed vehicles (l.98) -- [wsTypePredator_GCS] = 0x28, -- Light/Unarmed vehicles I hope it will work for you on Tacview 1.1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 What utility do you use to edit .lua files? I just grabbed Notepad++, looks great... Will try your suggestion... Thx!!!

Aries Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Tried the edit... it doesn't work... the damn thing won't record... fullstop! Does it work for you on Tacview 1.0 with the 1.1.10 patch? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] ...the few, the proud, the remaining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonk Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I use Notepad++. If you edit the TacviewExportDCS.lua directly in the DCS A-10C\Config\Export\ folder, you should adjust its security property to be able to save your changes (if you don't want to change these security properties, copy the script on your desktop, make the changes and save it, then copy it back to the DCS folder). Yes, it works on Tacview 1.0 with the 1.1.1.0 patch (and also with BS2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Tried with a rollback to Tacview 1.0 and the script edit... all works!!! Wuhuuuu!!! I got a reply from Vyrtuoz, author of Tacview... he really is working on a fix... Thanks god it'll be fixed, all this crappy stuff going on with the last patch & no Tacview took away half the magic of my simming... EDIT: Tried the edit on the server script with Tacview 1.1, it also works so it must have been the file permissions after all, on my first try...

TheMonk Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks Aries. I'm happy to hear that it works for you and that Vyrtuoz will officially fix it. PS: To make this patch I've just edit the dcs.log file (stored in the user game directory each time you launch dcs) and found the following line : 00044.667 ALERT EDCORE: Can't execute Lua file ./Config/Export/Export.lua - [string "./Config/Export/TacviewExportDCS.lua"]:83: table index is nil Then, Vyrtuoz comments in the script were clear enough to understand what was going wrong.

Aries Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 I was going to mention that a few units had been changed in the wsUnit script file, but someone already figured that out. It would be nice if you mentioned it before the patch... now I have to replay a dozen training tracks in realtime to get the Tacview records of it & it's a little annoying... :doh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] ...the few, the proud, the remaining...

chromium Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Is there a way to get it work for BS2 in a similar way as A10C? 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. 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.

TheMonk Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Is there a way to get it work for BS2 in a similar way as A10C? Yes. If you have already corrected the TacviewExportDCS.lua script for DCS A-10C 1.1.10, you can use it for DCS BS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Already done, placing the corrected file in the export directory of BS2. But it seems not working.

Since it works for me it should works for you. Be aware that to activate the tacview exportation you should not only put the TacviewExportDCS.lua file in the DCS Black Skark 2\Config\Export directory. You should also : - set EnableExportScript to true in the DCS Black Skark 2\Config\Export\Config.lua file. - append : dofile("./Config/Export/TacviewExportDCS.lua") at the end of DCS Black Skark 2\Config\Export\Export.lua file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromium Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 This happen to me only if i re-check the A10-C record option in the Tacview menù. To record an ACMI with A10 1.1.1.0 I do not have to re-check it... seems that Tacview check the TacviewExportDCS file size to choose if consider it checked or not in the option menù.

bengo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Mmm, just visited Vyrtuoz's site, and there's a download there titled "Tacview 1.1.1beta2" dated 2011/11/26 for registered users. Is that what we've been waiting for ? http://lomac.strasoftware.com/tacview-download-en.php Edit : tested it with A10 1.1.10 and it works.
