Mission Editor Bug - Losing Brief pictures on resaving

[MadDog-IC]

This problem has been around for a while in DCSW 1.5x, but been quite elusive to duplicate, seen it quite a bit in my converting of some single player missions to play multiplayer with a friend, still happening in august dcsw v1.54.

 

 

Symptom:

------------

Mission editor will throw out the briefing pictures on resaving the mission file under certain circumstances and mission will crash to desktop on trying to run mission in a Multiplayer environment.

 

 

To duplicate - ie:

--------------

 

1. Take a mission with briefing pictures in it.
   
2. Edit mission and change something (ie: flight from Player to Client), save mission to new filename.
   
3. Run multiplayer and load this mission, mission will run fine.
   
4. Close server and go back to Mission editor and re-edit the mission you just played and change something else (ie: a load-out) and re-save.
   
5. Run multiplayer and load mission, mission will Crash to Desktop as soon as you attempt to enter an aircraft.
   
6. Re run mission edit and load the mission and go to the briefing tab, all of the briefing pictures have now been corrupted and deleted, which causes the crash to desktop.
   

 

 

Attached is the original mission from game, and the edited version with main flights changed to clients and weapon loadouts modified as detailed above, with a dcs.log.

 

 

Would be nice to fix this crippling bug once and for all.

That's why i always reload the mission after testing it from the ME, indeed it's been a while since this started.
