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

[Home Fries]

Great thanks Ebs!

 

but its not possible to log my past tons of hours i already spent in MP??? :megalol:

Sure you can. Back up your \Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\logbook.lua file and then make the edits manually. Each whole number is a second. Just be sure to also make the proper entries in daytime and nighttime hours.

[Ebs]

Here's where I'm at guys.

 

After a lot more work on this, I've managed to fix the problems. The mod now...

 

1. requires no editing to install.

 

2. Always tracks your plane in Multiplayer.

 

3. Tracks ALL your planes in a Multiplayer session! no more disconnecting in between planes to update your stats

 

What I would like though is a few people to test this new BETA version. The only requirement is that you fly a few multiplayer sessions (with different planes etc.) and provide some feedback for me.

 

Drop me an email at typingoutloud@gmail.com and I'll send you the BETA version

Email sent.

 

Does that mean we can start from the multiplayer icon?

No, you need to click on Launcher for opening the Multiplayer Interface.

Great job! :thumbup:

[sslechta]

Thanks for the files... I'll try it out for the next couple of days.

[sslechta]

Hey Ebs,

 

Took an initial flight in multiplayer and everything updated fine to the logbook!

 

Thanks! I'll an eye on it for a few days.:thumbup:

 

 

 

 

+1 BTW.....

[Taproot]

Gonna have to give it a go.

 

As I understand some servers checks your install to check for mods. Will this affect this?

 

Mark on "as I understand"m cause Im not sure..

[HiJack]

No this mod wil not affect MP as it only edits Mission Editor files. Integrety check is done on exports, scrips and weapon files.

[Taproot]

Well, Im in the shait. DCS wont fire up now.

 

Errormessage:

00000.403 ALERT   LUACOMMON: Error: GUI Error: error loading module 'me_debriefing' from file '.\MissionEditor\modules\me_debriefing.lua':
[string ".\MissionEditor\modules\me_debriefing.lua"]:1: unexpected symbol near 'ï'

 

Any idea?

[sslechta]

I would check your quote symbol where you put your name. Sbould be ".

[Taproot]

Here are the lines in the .lua file.

 

--------------------------
--YOU MUST EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINE. CHANGE "Ebs" TO YOUR MULTIPLAYER CALLSIGN
iInitiator = "138th.Taproot"
--------------------------
--------------------------

[Taproot]

Ok. I repaired DCS, made a backup and downloaded the logbook thing again.

 

Doublechecked all the names and edited the file. It now launches. I checked the logbook flighthours in the SU 27, went online and flew the SU 27 for 5 minutes. Flighthours did not change in the logbook.

 

So either it is not working for me, or it does not record flighthours.

[sslechta]

I wonder if it's having problems with the period in the name, it shouldn't.

 

And you have "138th.Taproot" as the in game callsign in the logbook AND the multiplayer name (under Options in the multiplayer menu)?

 

I'm puzzled why it's not working.....

[occam]

Hello and thank you for this, but it doesn't work for my. When I get out of the multiplayer appears a debriefing, but do not update my flight hours.

Sorry for my English

[Taproot]

And you have "138th.Taproot" as the in game callsign in the logbook AND the multiplayer name (under Options in the multiplayer menu)?

 

Yep. It is all correct.

 

Is it suppose to log hours aswell?

[sslechta]

It should be logging that... I guess we'll see if Ebs can respond to you. So far it's been working for me.

[Taproot]

Well, I only checked the hours for the SU 27, might be that its just the general hours that are logged..

 

Easy check for that. brb. :p

[Taproot]

nope, didnt move. I didnt take off though. Does that matter?

[sslechta]

You probably have to take off to log time.... ;)

 

For me, I've just logged all hours on the F15 and that's what I flew in game and on multiplayer and all my logged time in that aircraft is merged since this mod was added.

[HiJack]

Hmm, looks as if there is a problem with ".". It does not log MP sessions for me either "138th.Jack".

[Double_D]

Hmm, looks as if there is a problem with ".". It does not log MP sessions for me either "138th.Jack".

 

It could be the " . " cause it is a recognized part of the coding system...

[Taproot]

I can confirm.

 

It was the "."

 

Gonna send another e-mail to Eds so I can test the Beta as 138th.Taproot

[Britchot]

Nice find, I have a "." in my name as well. I'll be following this thread with interest.

[MadCow]

Taproot seems to be a quality Beta Tester :thumbup:
