Heheh and here i was about to so say that aint no bug .. mavs dont have a big enough warhead for ships and then server crash ....hahahaha:megalol: didnt they fixed that somewhere at the beginning of World ?

[ralfidude]

I thought I read somewhere that they fixed this issue, but apparently... that's a no...?

[BIGNEWY]

if the ship is burning she will go down, she will just take a while :)

 

ships do take a while to sink

 

and flying latest 1.2.2 and don't get a crash when a ship is destroyed, what version are you running ralfidude ?

[ralfidude]

Well when she was burning she was still targeting me, so I just kept on hitting her till she caved. Much like my sex life.

 

1.2.2, there have been other incidences where this has happened. It has not been fixed fully.

You do realise that a youtube video helps sweetblowbuggerall when it comes to testing?

 

Mission and track file please.

[ralfidude]

whats the best way to give you a track? Last time i tried uploading a file to here it didnt go so well. Il try again.

 

 

EDIT: No more track... I clean out my files and folders a bit too regularly it seems hahaah. No worries though. Il have a new track for you soon enough I'm sure.

Mission file will probably be better. Track if you can replicate.

 

Appreciated.

Ralfidude was it one of the tasks I have created on Tears of Allah???

 

So I've recognized that crash several times. If you bomb any military ship the server will crash. Doing this on the cargo ships do not.

 

This does first happend after the latest patch like the client crash if there is any KC-135 or AWACS alive....

So you saying if I BOMB a ship and destroy it, the game will crash? SP or MP or both? And can you reproduce this?

I'm having great fun on your server, Quax! Thanks again mate!:thumbup:

Yes we can!!!! Anytime using any of the bombs the server will crash. Using Mavs (if you hit) or guns will not crash the server..

[Kuky]

I just did a test in latest TEST build and I setup MP mission with me in MiG-29A armed with FAB-500 bombs and 2 Molnya ships (both on same side) and I bombed one of the ships and it exploded and sank and my game did not crash. I'll try the same in public version now.

 

EDIT: tried the same in public 1.2.2 and again 2x Molnya destroyed with FAB-500's and no crash.

Did you received server errors at the mission start like:

 

[string "slmod.chat_cmd('-colt',14002)"]:1: attempt to index global 'slmod' (a nil value)

?

 

(I also can't reproduce this crash)

It means slmod (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80979) isn't installed and its a simple script error. The mission should still run the same as long as the script that is using slmod commands isn't constantly re-running. Otherwise it will keep popping up errors. Quex can fix this by doing something like:

 

if slmod then
(slmod commands)
else
trigger.action.outText('You don't have slmod and this mission sort of requires it.')
end

 

If slmod isn't installed with the following code it simply won't do the commands and it will post a message saying its not installed.

Use a A10 and use some GBU-12/38 or MK82 you will see...

 

BTW: Who uses a Mig29 to bomb a ship????

For this mission you have to install SLMOD on the Host/Server

What does it matter what I flew to destroy a ship? You state ANY bomb destroying a ship gives a crash.... well I destroyed a ship with bombs and it didn't crash. Also I don't use SLMOD, if it crashed using SLMOD only then it's likely it's not DCS fault?

Sorry my fault that I have assumed that the only planes are bombing ships within DCSW are A-10's. I had in mind the long before DCSW existing bug where it only happend to A-10's.

However, I can reproduce this bug for 100% on any bomb an A-10 is capable of it. And it do so even if I do not use SLMOD

In cases such as these where you can replicate it over and over please post a track. Yes, you will say that there is no track because SIM crashes and you would be correct. I am however referring to flying the mission as you would have when the SIM crashes and then exiting the mission approx 5 seconds or so before crash (bomb impact/ship explosion etc etc).

 

We as testers will then be able to take control before impact/crash and see if it crashes on our builds too.

[Kuky]

EDIT: tried it again with A-10A and Mk-82's and again hit on Molnya (and its destruction) does not give me a crash (this is Public version 1.2.2.7570)

[BIGNEWY]

A-10C X2 gbu-10

 

Only takes one bomb to destroy the ship although I did use two, and the ship takes around 5 minutes to sink.

 

No crash in version 1.2.2 7570

use a GBU-12 as shown in the video. You are using everything BUT the bombs I used so far lol.
