TackView does not always record flights

[Hoggorm]

Hi,

 

In TackView I've selected the option to Record DCS World flight. After that a small DCS icon appear in the lower right corner.

 

If I restart TackView the icon still appears. However sometimes, after flying a mission, the icon has disappeared and no flight was recorded.

 

Any ideas?

DCS autoupdate will restore default export.lua, tacview modified this file.

Set "Record DCS World flights" in tacview after every DCS update applied.

To avoid rewrite on each update, export script will be loaded from Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua soon.

Consider how to integrity check this file please

It can be used for doing something good and doing something evil.

The avaiilability of both API calls "LoGetObjectById" and "LoGetWorldObjects", which can be used for cheating will be controlled by a server-side option server.allow_export (false by default).

All other API calls in the Export environment are related to getting instrumentation values of the ownship and are considered safe from MP standpoint.

Thanks, that's nice!

Does that mean if its set to true for the intent of allowing guys to use their diverse instrument setups that other objects in game can be exploited? Or did I read that wrong and it's a separate file?

[c0ff]

if server.allow_export = true then
  Export.lua can use  "LoGetObjectById" and "LoGetWorldObjects"
else
  //  that is if server.allow_export = false
  Export.lua can [b]NOT[/b] use  "LoGetObjectById" and "LoGetWorldObjects"
end

 

May be the name "allow_export" is misleading. Suggest a better one, while it's not late.

I think allow_object_export is decriptive enough. Also, is there a way to completely disable the integrity check? We would love to have that option as the check often ruins a night on our servers when some people are unable to connect for unknown reasons. We don't host combat servers, so integrity check is not even needed.

Yes.

Remove the contents of integrity_check section of your network.cfg file.

Like this:

server = {
...
integrity_check = {
	-- nothing here
},
...
}

[SilentEagle]

We tried that in FC2 and it kept adding the lines back in whenever we started MP. We'll see if it works now.

[c0ff]

It was fixed since then. We do read the forum... sometimes ;)

Thank you!

Sounds good to me :)
