"Error On Error Reporting" with Mi-8T & Embarking

[Wrecking Crew]

v1.2.11.34087

A new "error on error reporting" dialog box showed up in a new mission that uses Mi-8T's to Embark and Disembark infantry. Maybe it was "error on error handling"...

 

This is happening in multiplayer and the dialog shows on the server, while the Clients see a frozen map and or get disconnected, but can re-join. The error did not show up in single player testing.

 

In this mission, two Mi-8Ts are ferrying infantry. I did see where the second Mi-8T was under the terrain after the error showed up. I tried a lot of fixins but ended up removing the Mi-8Ts and infantry from the mission.

 

The mission is attached. It should be run on a server to see the error. Wait for the second Mi-8T to Embark troops.

It means there was a scripting error in the mission and you have slmod installed, why by default removes the error reporting lua environment for some reason.

 

There is a simple change you can make. Load up slmodMissionScripting.lua where-ever it is installed at. It should be something like C:\Users\<userName>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\net\Slmodv7_3

 

Find the following line at the bottom

 

sanitizeModule('debug')

 

and comment out the line so it looks like this

 

--sanitizeModule('debug')

.. OK

Thanks, Grimes,

I made the change in my server's Slmod v7_0. I will apply the latest Slmod v7_3 this week.

 

 

 

Does this error indicate a problem with my script? The following code is used by two AI Hueys and by four Client Hueys in separate events that run a Do Script. This script is run from an event that detects Landing, to deploy Stinger teams -- I am pretty sure it was not being triggered when the server error occurred.

All variables are defined as 'local' except the loop counter 'i'.

 

local grpName = 'UH-1H 03 FARP London'
local unitNameManpads = 'BLF VGrp90 Stinger'
local unitName = Group.getByName(grpName):getUnit(1):getName()
local basePos = mist.getLeadPos(grpName)
local baseHeadingRad = mist.getHeading(Unit.getByName(unitName))
local baseHeadingDeg = baseHeadingRad * 180 / math.pi
local newGroup = mist.getGroupData(unitNameManpads)
local newCoords = 
   {
       [1] = 
       {
           x = basePos.x + ((75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg)) - (0 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg))),
           y = basePos.z + ((75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg)) + (0 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg))),
           heading = baseHeadingDeg,
       },
       [2] =
       {
           x = basePos.x + ((-75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg)) - (75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg))),
           y = basePos.z + ((-75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg)) + (75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg))),
           heading = baseHeadingDeg + 40,
       },
       [3] =
       {
           x = basePos.x + ((-75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg)) - (-75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg))),
           y = basePos.z + ((-75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg)) + (-75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg))),
           heading = baseHeadingDeg - 40,
       }
   }
for i = 1, #newGroup.units do
   newGroup.units[i].x = newCoords[i].x
   newGroup.units[i].y = newCoords[i].y
   newGroup.units[i].heading = newCoords[i].heading
end
newGroup.clone = true
mist.dynAdd(newGroup)
