Other players can´t open my missionfile in missioneditor

[JaBoG32_Herby]

Hello,

 

I´ve attached a missionfile that I built in DCS:World 1.2.0.

 

I can open and edit this file in my missioneditor without any problems.

 

Any other player who tried to open the file got stuck during the loadingprocess in their missioneditor.

 

Is there probably some kind of protection that I might have activated without being aware of?

 

Regards

Hi squadron mate,

 

I don't have 1.2.0 installed ATM, but I can open that mission without problems in my latest tester's build...

Can't open in 1.2.0. Check for any units which might be modded on your end.

 

There is no form of mission copy protection built into the sim.

This mission uses Speed's Slmod, but that should not prevent others from opening it in the Mission Editor?

Gents, you brought up an idea.

 

I´ve got the Vehicle pack from Beszel and the soundmod from zzzspace installed.

 

Perhaps it´s got something to do with that:

 

Testing in progress.

That's correct, Slmod causes no problems with the mission editor. You can even get rid of the Lua error pop ups for people who don't have Slmod installed if you want, just do this:

if slmod then
    slmod.<function name>
end

 

Now Lua errors won't pop up if the server host does not have Slmod installed, because the script first checks to see if Slmod even exists before it tries to run the slmod function. However, it may be your mission won't work without Slmod, in which case, better to leave the Lua pop-up errors in it.

Beczl's vehicle pack is known to cause issues like this, most likely, that is the problem.

 

It's not a fault of his vehicle pack, it's just that if you're using the vehicle pack, you'd better be aware that if you use any of the vehicles in your mission, people who don't have the mod installed will not be able to open your mission.

It fails to open both in the ME and as a mission for me. No mods installed.

Yes, it's beczl's vehicle pack, see the me.log:

There is no "UAZ-452 Bus" in DCS.

Hy Herby, your conclusion is right. The Mods are responsible for to get stuck.

Since i installed both mods i have no problems any longer! ;)

[JaBoG32_Herby]

Ok gents, thanks for your contribution.

 

I think it´s sorted out now.

 

And it´s interesting, that the next World patch seems to handle the file nicely.

 

Is the vehicle pack included there?
