reported earlier AAR event S_EVENT_REFUELING not triggered in MP

[A101Wayz]

In capturing events on a dedicated MP server, I've found that there are several world.event events that either don't get triggered, or only get triggered occasionally. These same events are triggered very reliably in single player.

Specifically (but not limited to):

S_EVENT_REFUELING - NEVER triggers

 

S_EVENT_REFUELING_STOP - unreliable - triggers less than 50% of the time

 

 

 

S_EVENT_PLAYER_ENTER_UNIT - unreliable

 

S_EVENT_PLAYER_LEAVE_UNIT - unreliable

One of our AAR training mission where you get AAR statistics stopped working. After some debug, we recognized that the S_EVENT_REFUELING is not triggered. Only S_EVENT_REFUELING_STOP triggers in AAR.

When testing the mission in Mission Editor, both events are triggered correctly. Same mission is started on Dedicated Beta Server > only S_EVENT_REFUELING_STOP works.

Log: refuel stop as intended in the logs, no start Event found in the logs. Tried with F/A-18C and F-14B on KC-135 MPRS Tanker.

event:type=refuel stop,t=6033.049,initiatorPilotName=...,initiatorMissionID=3225

Apparently, this is not new. This was reported a few years ago. I'll bump the report.

A few years? Realy?  So 2 more weeks I guess 
Thanks for the bump!

Tested again today. Now both events are gone. Works fine in Singleplayer.

• S_EVENT_REFUELING_STOP
• S_EVENT_REFUELING

I will reduce the test frequency to once per year from now :-)

THX for the info, i'll shut down my effort for now and try to remove the wreckage. Oh... wait

Hi there,

 

retested today : work great in SP still does not work in MP.

In SP I get :

• S_EVENT_REFUELING_STOP with initiator pointing to the aircraft receiving the fuel
• S_EVENT_REFUELING with initiator pointing to the aircraft receiving the fuel

 

In MP I get :

• S_EVENT_REFUELING_STOP with initiator pointing to the aircraft receiving the fuel
• S_EVENT_REFUELING with initiator pointing to the aircraft providing the fuel

 

Any news, plan, or whatever on correcting this ?

I filed and internal report about this MP issue a few days ago, so no need to bump the report for now.
