ARMA 2: OA beta build 85213

[buliwyf 4]

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

[85199] Fixed: Order of init event handlers and init commands was reversed since 1.57 beta (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/14766)

:rolleyes:

So many build numbers, so little changelogs

So many build numbers, so little changelogs

That's because bugs introduced in early betas aren't included in the changelogs on the site.

CIT activity http://dev-heaven.net/projects/cis/activity and ticket statuses etc give insight into many of the changes/fixes.

Someone just needs to gather them and list them. I think it is evident that BIS would like that someone to be anyone in the community with a couple of spare minutes available ;)

Bullet spawn position should be fixed:

Can anybody confirm this: Starting the latest patch with CBA results in a complete freeze at the menu.

For me it's not frozen but in the rpt I get endless:

[184,22.727,0.1,"XEH: PostInit Started"]

[184,22.73,0.1,"XEH: PostInit Started"]

etc.

At first sight, something's wrong with killed eventhandlers :)

Just starting diner, then ill dive right in.

I am getting instant arma closing with the latest beta now:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25219

Might be related to Killed EH/EH issues.

[sickboy 13]

Isolated the issue; http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25222

Using processInitCommands from within an Eventhandler causes the problem.

Confirmed, I just looked into my RPT file and can see the same.

Here's the workaround for CBA (unsigned); http://www.multiupload.com/V33ZOB1Q5P

There are more situations where the same or (seems) related issues occur, outside the CBA domain: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25219

One more problem we just noticed: In multiplayer missions that use a UAV backpack (like in my Needle in a Haystack mission), the control of the UAV is now always with the player who hosts the server, regardless of whether the player is in possession of the UAV backpack or not. Prior to this version, the control was with the player that had the backpack on his back.

I created a small repo mission and opened a ticket on the CIT:

CIT ticket with repo mission

Ticket 'n repro, Neat!

If everyone moves onto bugs this way, and fast, we might just run out of enough bugs, ... one day ... :D

You know, bugs are infinite:

99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs,

take one out, compile it again, 101 little bugs in the code

Been away for a while. Couldn't help getting back into A2 again after seeing the quality of the new betas. :)

Found a bug on testing though - CIT ticket and repro mission attached :)

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25234

edit: feel like an idiot :( Cannot reproduce the bug consistently. Please ignore for the time being. CIT updated too.

With the last two betas we have tried, the latest being 85216, everyone who tries to connect to our server is hit with signature check timeouts, and session lost. Nobody is able to join the server at all.

Running with:

verifySignatures=2;

onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)";

//onHackedData = "kick (_this select 0)";

// Signature timeout fix

// regularCheck = "{}";

// regularCheck = "";

Command-line:

"E:\7cav\gameservers\arma2\Public\Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe" -ip=208.167.249.45 -cpucount=4 -name=Public -profiles=Somewhere -config=Someplace -cfg=Someplace -bepath=Someplace -mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion"

Started in:

E:\7cav\gameservers\arma2\Public\

It seems to only impact 1.59 clients in my experience as well.

Excerpt from the server:

2:21:16 Player Potato: Wrong signature for file d:\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\addons\signs2.pbo

2:21:16 Player Potato disconnected.
