WarriorX Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Is anyone else getting a CTD the first time you run this mission on a clean install? I have been getting a ntdll.dll in my Error Report.

mtuckner Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I think it was supposed to do that, or expected at least for one script to make some sort of deposit on the DCS files somewhere on first run.
Speed Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) I think it was supposed to do that, or expected at least for one script to make some sort of deposit on the DCS files somewhere on first run. Yea, sorry, there is no way I know of to avoid that... what happens is that server.lua is backed up to server_old.lua, and then some code is inserted into server.lua. But anyway, because server.lua is only loaded when you start the multiplayer application, and I don't know where it is loaded to exactly, I just made it force a game closure after the script installs. It is in fact not a CTD, and you won't get a crash log, not when I tested it, at least. It's just Windows that thinks it's a CTD. Are you sure that that crash log was generated by this? Note that this should not interfere with any other modifcation of server.lua, such as Servman, though I haven't directly tested it yet with Servman. This is because it inserts the new lua code into server.lua, instead of just over-writing server.lua. If you want to screw around with people, while hosting, use notepad to type in "i'm gay" into messagefile.txt (located under the Saved Games/DCS Warthog directory) and hit save :devil: Edited April 8, 2011 by Speed Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

epoch Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Possible issue in v8. Some friends and I were playing the other night. I typed "getupdate" into chat (I wasn't the host) and we all got a message regarding the task. Unfortunately the message was permanent - it never disappeared. As a result, subsequent tasks could not be attempted as we were unable to see the message & coordinates. There were three players on the server. All were affected. Other than that, awesome mission.
graywo1fg Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 thanks Epoch! I'll sort it out. hmmm Voice of Jester AI Death From Above =DFA= Squadron Discord - https://discord.gg/deathfromabove http://www.twitch.tv/graywo1f https://www.youtube.com/user/Lonewo1fg
Speed Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) thanks Epoch! I'll sort it out. hmmm Did you clear the getupdate flag after displaying the message? If you don't clear it, and the message is on a Continuous type trigger (it really should be on a Switched-type), then the message will display for the rest of the mission. If that wasn't the cause, I might suspect that the host of the mission in the reported problem case might not be running DCS with the proper administrative rights. If windows doesn't allow DCS to modify files, then he's going to have some problems running the chatIOlib. For example, how the chatIOlib works is that after something like "getupdate" is seen in the chatmessagefile.txt, that line of text is removed from the file. However, if the host had his Windows improperly configured, Windows might disallow the game from modifying chatmessagefile.txt, and so, the message will be displayed forever. That said, that it would allow him to add text to the file but not remove text is a little odd. He'll also have alot of problems with DCS and everything else in general too. Turn off UAC, make sure you're an administrator on your own computer. Edited April 8, 2011 by Speed 1 Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

-NFlight- Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 It looks like some flags are not getting cleared after "missions" are completed. Shortly after getting a Mission Complete message with a very uplifting "Good Job!" :) I get an update message with the coordinates. I've seen it with one of the Artillery tasks, the MLRS task and the FARP task at a minimum. Thank you for the addition of the chat commands! You might consider adding a "Task ID" to each task and enabling the marking of said Task ID's as complete via chat similar to what you can do via F10 Other. Just a suggestion...

graywo1fg Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 aye i know what i did wrong. the more triggers i add the more i forget to turn off LOL! sorry.

McVittees Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Me and four others got some time on this mission last night - nearly four hours of 'sometime' to be exact! Wow! The effort to put together all those missions! Brilliant! We can definitely see this being a regular favourite. We had a few issues (but they're not really issues because they're so minor) with mission messages saying we'd completed a task but then we'd receive updates regarding same mission suggesting they we hadn't. The missions were (off the top of my head) a train mission and the Convoy1 mission where you are given three sets of coordinates. Anyway, fantastic mission, really really good. This is the kind of stuff that should be boxed with the game!

Ranger79 Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 For some reason the "Update For Dam Mission" contiunes to display after we have gotten the "Mission Complete" from HQ. Also there is no option under F10 to "Mark mission as completed for this mission."

WarriorX Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Graywo1fg, As I know very little about Mission Building, do you think you will need to rework Separatist Aggression after each patch comes out?

graywo1fg Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 hmm i seem to have broken the mission or something O.o need to revise it, Warrior, i wont need to edit it after each patch unless a new module comes out, even then its hard to say if i would or not.

graywo1fg Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 Thank you =D i'm glad people are liking it! in about 2 weeks i'm going to start work on a new one that will actually be NATO and Russia against Georgia. A sort of Libya style campaign with NATO and Russia using air strikes to support regime change or something like that :P I'll put something like that together, it will be somewhat like this mission only a different scenario and different setting of course.

chokko Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Anyone got this working on a server with Servman? Specifically, being able to use the "requesttask" commands etc? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Speed Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Anyone got this working on a server with Servman? Specifically, being able to use the "requesttask" commands etc? You will need to replace the servman_server.lua file under your Scripts/Addons/Servman3 folder with one of these two servman_server.lua files: If you are running servman 3.0.0: http://ip.16thaccw.org:91/UserFiles/Mission%20Files/servman_server.zip If you are running the latest version of servman, servman 3.0.1, use this file: http://ip.16thaccw.org:91/UserFiles/Mission%20Files/servman_server_301.zip Just download and extract the proper file, then replace your current servman_server.lua with this new one.

rmk80 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Just to be clear, the Predator does do a proper 9-Line, and gives out UTM coordinates. It does not give out a datalink target when it says "Standby Data". Canthis be fixed? Although i can find the target through the UTM coordinates, it is still very handy to get the data link! Also, does anybody know how to find the tanker? (TCN?)
