*MULTIPLAYER* Logbook...The wait is FINALLY over! (release)

Hello,

 

Well after a week of spending almost my entire free time on getting this to work, I can finally say I've done it.

 

The mod allows your Logbook to also track all your stats in Multiplayer sessions. Both as host and as client.

 

Installation is simple. Either use JSGME or overwrite files with those from the zip.

There are three simple steps to take before it'll work...

1. open my me_debriefing.lua file and find this line

 

iInitiator = "Ebs"

 

CHANGE "Ebs" to your multiplayer name.

 

2. make sure your callsign in your Logbook is the same as the name you use online.

 

3. Always run every multiplayer session via the launcher!

 

Once the mod is 'installed' you'll see the debriefing page after every multiplayer session, just like in singleplayer...your logbook will also be updated with your kills/flight times/ejections etc etc. exactly the way it is with Singleplayer.

 

There are a couple of issues...

1. In a multiplayer game, the stats for the first plane you fly will be tracked..if you crash/eject/die then join another plane. your stats for the second plane won't be updated...The way around this is to treat every multiplayer session as a singleplayer game. when you lose your plane, simply hit exit back to the debriefing screen. then rejoin the server and choose another plane.

 

2. Occasionally, the game doesn't assign a PilotName to a plane..I've seen this happen with the P-51...You exit to the debriefing page and the list of events for your plane lists the pilot as 'Pilot #32' or whatever...the game doesn't know it was you who was flying so won't update your stats. I'm not sure if this is a game issue or a mission design issue, but I've only seen it once or twice in the last week.

 

That's all. Have fun and if you like my mods I'd really appreciate any PayPal donations to typingoutloud@gmail.com

 

Cheers...

Ebs.

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a weeks worth of flying to catch up on! ;)

Great work!

Fantastic work my friend.

I've only a question for you: if I have more 1.000 hrs on my LogBook, is there a possibility to start from there ?

Yes, the mod doesn't affect your current stats.

 

Copy. Many thanks for your answer ;)

Psstt....

 

Both of these issues are solvable if you use the debriefing module or other main simulation Lua environment modification methods I had mentioned- if you're interested in trying to solve them, maybe send me a PM sometime after I get SlmodStats finished and I have a bit more free time.

Thanks guys :) Glad it's working out for you!

 

Slightly OT, but correlated some way:

 

Is there a way to merge data from an old logbook (1.2.0 & 1.2.1 installations) and the actual logbook? Have I lost them forever? :(

 

Just open the old logbook and the new logbook and compare them. it should be pretty simple. All your flight time etc. is listed in seconds. Just add the old stats to the new stats and save the file ;)

 

Works great for me too. ED should make this standard!

 

Is there any way to get it to work in single player missions designed as multiplayer (i.e. multiple selectable aircraft)?

 

Yes, you need to 'host' the mission as a LAN mission...Multiplayer/new server/LAN...load your mission...play it...exit. Stats logged.

Just did it, saved the file, and all my flight stats have been erased.

This is not cool, I have to figure out what went wrong.
