ericdb7g Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I would appreciate any help trying to get a mission I have made to reload properly. I have a trigger set up so that after two hours the mission ends, and then a new mission is loaded. I have noticed that the mission always loads perfectly fine the first time, however when the trigger loads the mission it is either missing units or nobody can rearm . I have tried also just loading the mission again manually without using any triggers, and still have the same problems. I have also tried loading a different mission and then back to the mission I want, and I still get the same problems. The only thing I can do to fix it is completely shut down the server and start it up again. I have tried searching the forum and Google, but haven't found anyone that has had the same problem. Thanks for any assistance.
Wrecking Crew Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 That is weird. Post your mission or PM me with a link and I can take a look at it, but it will have to be later this evening. I do similar things in my missions; I'd be happy to take a look at the problem. WC 1 Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms. All released missions are available for free download, modification and public hosting, from my Wrecking Crew Projects site.

I can possibly send a link, however I have the same problem with any mission I host, not just the one I created. No matter what mission I start with I cannot reload any other mission without missing ground units, F10 map glitches, or rearming quits working. I'm considering deleting and reinstalling DCS. I do not have any mods installed.
Wrecking Crew Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Are you making these missions on the same computer that you are serving them with? Maybe it is DCS World version related? What is the path to the mission folder on your server? Try this -- On the server, start the regular DCS World, go to the Mission editor and open one of the missions and then save it. Back out of the Mission editor and go to the Multiplayer menu choice w/o leaving DCS World, and start Multiplayer and a New Server and load the mission from the folder that you had just saved it in, test the mission again... This should insure that your mission is saved with the same version as the server you are running it on. I kind of suspect that your server is a downlevel version...

WC Thanks for the replies, I let Steam check the game cache and reset everything. And yes, I am creating the missions with the same computer that is hosting the missions. That is an interesting point you made that I will keep in mind in the future. The only modification I made before was to allow to server to start unpaused. I let it all go to the default settings, and it seemed to reset once tonight just fine. I'm still not sure where the problem was, or if it will come back if I try to start the server unpaused again. I'm kind of afraid to touch anything at this point! I will continue to keep an eye on it. So far it works, with the only drawback being that I have to manually unpause the server. I probably should have mentioned I was using the Steam version earlier, I assume it uses the same files though. Here is what I'm working with: AMD FX9590 CPU R9 280X GPU 16 GB DDR3 Gigabyte 990FX motherboard Steam DCS install (no mods) with: A-10C, Mig-21, FC3, BS2, and C.A. modules main mission file with a trigger at 2 hours to "end mission" and "load mission" Edited January 24, 2015 by ericdb7g

Thanks for the insight, I was hoping I wasn't the only person who ever experienced this problem! Edit - Well I still have problems. I have found that if I play the game while I host then it will absolutely not reload properly. Same problems as above. However, if I start the server and never leave spectator mode then it seems to continuously reload with no problems. Any suggestions? Edited January 26, 2015 by ericdb7g
