Important note regarding mission compatibility

[Grimes]

Missions made in 1.5 ARE NOT compatible in 1.2.16.

 

You can load a mission from 1.2.16 into 1.5, but the moment you save it, it WILL NOT be compatible to open it up on 1.2.16 due to mission file changes.

 

Just a friendly reminder to make a back-up copy of your mission if you want to work with it in 1.5.

MP missions from the previous build don't seem to be compatible with 1.5 either. Triggers are not working. Grimes, are you aware of any problems with slmod with the 1.5 beta?

Investigate and isolate the trigger types that aren't working.

 

Don't use slmod or servman. Both are completely untested and I'm not touching slmod until a little down the road once MP issues start getting ironed out.

RespawnInZone is not working.

 

The message stuff also doesn't work. I get ~20 copies of it...

 

I cut out this lump, my respawn script is a highly repetitive and basically does similar checks for the air and ground groups.

miz is attached if you need it for any reason. Works in 1.2.16

 

if not Group.getByName('Targets - AA Modern Drone 1') and not Group.getByName('Targets - AA Modern Drone 2') then
	local msg = {}
	msg.text = "Respawning AA Modern Drones."
	msg.displayTime = 4
	msg.msgFor = {coa = {'all'}}
	mist.message.add(msg)

	mist.respawnGroup('Targets - AA Modern Drone 1', true)
	local con = Group.getByName('Targets - AA Modern Drone 1'):getController()
	con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.ROE, AI.Option.Air.val.ROE.WEAPON_HOLD)
               con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.RADAR_USING, AI.Option.Air.val.RADAR_USING.NEVER)
               con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.SILENCE, true)
               con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.REACTION_ON_THREAT, AI.Option.Air.val.REACTION_ON_THREAT.EVADE_FIRE)

	mist.respawnGroup('Targets - AA Modern Drone 2', true)
	local con = Group.getByName('Targets - AA Modern Drone 2'):getController()
	con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.ROE, AI.Option.Air.val.ROE.WEAPON_HOLD)
               con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.RADAR_USING, AI.Option.Air.val.RADAR_USING.NEVER)
               con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.SILENCE, true)
               con:setOption(AI.Option.Air.id.REACTION_ON_THREAT, AI.Option.Air.val.REACTION_ON_THREAT.EVADE_FIRE)
end

Nevermind. I saw the other post you had and updated MIST. A lot better now. I need to work on the message Boolean, but it's about 4 copies instead of 20 so already better. And the group respawns so it's a win \o/

[xaoslaad]

Thanks Grimes, 4 0 55 did the trick for messages!

[gavagai]

I cannot load any old missions, even missions without MIST. I tried resaving them, no dice.

Gavagai,

Open your .miz, open the triggers menu, and inspect the "initialization script" boxes.

 

In my EFAE campaign, the new ME interpreted the blank fields in my old .miz files as empty fields but still active. As a result, the mission would hang at the loading screen trying to run code that didn't exist.

 

Click "reset" next to initialization script and resave and you should be good to go!

[gavagai]

Thanks, that did the trick!

 

Cool, even the missions with the flak script still work!

In 1.5 it is possible that if we use "save" will destroy the sound files?....but I notice if I use "save as..." overwriting existing file...works perfect!!!...can you clarify that for me please

Thanks

There is a big problem there i wasnt able to reproduce it 100% but somtimes when i click save the MIZ file goes down to 0kb or 103 kb some very small stuff. Of course the file is broken. i was able to reproduce this error many many time but its not like click this make this open this. i can get this bug with so many different actions i cant find a structure there. Im amazed this problem is not more present here in the forums.

 

im just doing backups after every action i do in the ME. The only way not to loose sanity at the moment in 1.5 editor

Using the A10-C mod in V1.5.1 47025 I am trying to play the Georgian Hammer campaign.

Should that work?

I am experiencing CTDs while playing the 2nd mission.

 

Tnx,

Hek
