Mission crash transport.dll

[ENO]

Eh guys.

 

I've narrowed this one down to the activation of transports in my killbox mission and I have been able to recreate it.

 

In my actual mission I have groups supply1 / 3 / 5 activating first and that seems to be where the crash happens so that's where I'm going to start.

 

As you'll see, there are LOTS of units in there- but most are visibly inactive... I've tried to strip away all but the essentials given the latest lack of stability across a broad, broad spectrum of AI related data transfer between servers and clients.

 

Granted in the .test.miz I've attached here I have them (supply groups) all spawning in at once just to narrow it down. I'm going to go back at it again one at a time to see if I can figure out if it's a particular type of vehicle or just something else at play.

 

I have had some "script errors" relating to misspelling etc- but this doesn't give me any such indication.

 

Any help in this would be appreciated.

You get the crash in the test mission you included?

[ENO]

Yeah... but I think I've resolved it somehow.

 

I think I was loading the MIST functions too quickly or something. I've delayed the condition for the groups to random zones and for some reason it seems to work okay.

 

Now I'd like to get to work on the effects.dll one!

 

 

(Whoops- spoke too soon... now it still happens.)

 

I'm attaching my current version of the mission. Join an A10C slot, and then go look at the Russian ground commander. Something is happening in there.

Seems to work okay when I just run it myself, on the server machine. I think what's causing the crashes is the fact that the server side AI get their marching orders (groupstorandomzone)... and the clients don't get that- unless they come in afterwards.

 

This is the same problem that is occurring with the teleporttozone commands.

 

Grimes told me that was fixed internally- but I wasn't sure if he was talking on the ED side or MIST side. I suspect given that MIST is simply an avenue into mission scripting on ED side... that it's got something to do with ED.

Okay, new results found here (posted in the MIST section)

Basically, the attached mission has a group of 3 vulcan vehicles given a group to random zone order. The vehicles are not late activated... and the script is brought in 10 seconds in.

 

I'm going to try a repair just on the off chance it helps lol.

Might be worth mentioning I ran the mission for the equivalent of 3 hours in the "fly mission" SP version- but every time I start putting people in the MP server (basically just using different accounts and looking at it on my own clients) it un-hinges the clients (you start to see things going all wonky etc) and then pings out when the server crashes.
