Yes you are true : really strange cause I put the latest .hpp in userconfig : I'll retry this evening making sure the configs are in the right place.

Thanks

OK I made a mistake I was using a custom tpwcas. Here are logs with the newer version, seems to hang a lot in the init and identification of the HC ...

userconfig = default one from tpwcas2.5

New logs for you LordPrimate :

sorry for all the acre errors, I forgot to deactivate. I can redo the test without.

gagi, your server and HC still don't use the same parameters.

In which directory on server and HC did you put the tpwcas_v2.hpp?

Are you sure these files are the same at both systems?

I just noticed a small error in the init.sqf of tpwcas, not sure of the impact:

diag_log format ["%1 tpwcas_mode = %2 - Server: [%3] - MP: [%4] - config: [%6] - isNil: [%7]", time, tpwcas_mode, isServer, isMultiPlayer, getnumber(configfile>> "tpwcas_key_setting"  >> "tpwcas_mode"), isNil "tpwcas_mode"];

should be:

diag_log format ["%1 tpwcas_mode = %2 - Server: [%3] - MP: [%4] - config: [[color="#FF0000"]%5[/color]] - isNil: [[color="#FF0000"]%6[/color]]", time, tpwcas_mode, isServer, isMultiPlayer, getnumber(configfile>> "tpwcas_key_setting"  >> "tpwcas_mode"), isNil "tpwcas_mode"];

this generates the error:

Error position: <tpwcas_mode, isServer, isMultiPlayer, tp>

Error Variable indÃ©finie dans une expression: tpwcas_mode

File tpwcas\init.sqf, line 26

HI all !!!

I will recheck for the settings, (but I'm pretty sure it's something like ARMADIR/userconfig/tpwcas/nameoftheconfigfile.hpp, and I copied the userconfif from the server) in 30 minutes and relaunch the Dedi + HC and I'll try to make clean logs !!!

Ok for the error, if LordPrimate doesn't release the fix soon : I correct it before making the test.

Thanks a lot Ollem !

Both your logs show:

This 'diag_log' line 26 will in most cases generate an error and better be removed here.

I'm not sure if the script exists at that moment or still continues.

What does your config_v2.hpp look like?

If not set already, could you please try to set tpwcas_mode = 2 and tpwcas_debug = 2 ?

lordprimate · March 7, 2012

before that diag_log there is a few check that should "set" tpwcas_mod" one is if there is a logic / module on the map that defines tpwcas_mode

the second check is if there is NO definition for tpwcas_mode it sets it to Zero..

the third check, is for single player, that sets it to 1.

after those checks is the diag_log.. I dont get that error because i always define tpwcas_mode with a module on the map.

I made a few changes to those checks one of them didnt make sense maybe ollem can explain this:

if ( (isNil "tpwcas_mode") && (count _this) == 1 ) then

{

tpwcas_mode = 0;

};

what is the (count _this) ==1

.. because if tpwcas_mode is not defined, this should set it to 0. (this is the first check)

then there is the single player check. that will define tpwcas_mode as one if it (isServer) && ! (isMultiplayer).. so at this point it should say, it is either logic enabled, or Zero because its not defined.. but it actually pushes an undefined variabled because some how those checks are being bypassed??

gagi if those were defined you should not get that undefined variable. Am I wrong here Ollem?

ollem · July 7, 2002

Lordprimate, for some reason you seem to have reverted to a rather old (or at least ArmA2) version of the init.sqf in tpwcas_v2.6.

In your previous release you used a more recent version.

In this newer version 'tpwcas_mode logging in early stage' and 'count _this' are not used.

Looking at gagi's latest log files I do see that the config file is properly read, but at that stage 'tpwcas_mode' has already been forced to value '3' and the value in the config file is ignored.

my latest init.sqf:

Ollem, when you released your script version . I took the top portion of the tpwcas_script_init.sqf and replaced the one i had (thinking that it would be more up to date/ and to save time). Thanks for the heads up i would have never known, I will put that into my init and release an update pronto.

the first one is a BIS error (since tpwcas is calling a BIS function and the BIS function is broken it passes an undefined variable), the second one about _cas_ball i have been getting as well..

EDIT:

looking at one of my older updates to the latest i can see a change was made..

the only change i see in the debug code is that somehow, an "if" statement was //commented out. //}; ..

I didnt get the _cas_ball errors before, and neither did you.. I am going to remove those commented out lines as that is all i can see that is changed in relation to debugging.

Edited October 31, 2013 by Lordprimate

gagi · August 5, 2013

OK,

LordPrimate, did you have a look to the tpwcas version in the RPT (rpt4.rar)?

I just put Ollem's init code inside. Perhaps you want to adapt this code and releasing a new version? Cause I didn't check if it needs other changes.

There is also this test in Ollem's version about reading parameters :

"// Read TPWCAS Parameters from userconfig file

if ( isServer || tpwcas_isHC ) then "

your version :

"if ( isServer ) then"

It has to be executed on both dedi&HC I think.

Another thing :

Ollem's version :

" nul = [] execvm "tpwcas\tpwcas_init.sqf";"

Yours :

" nul = [] execvm "\tpwcas\tpwcas_init.sqf";"

don't know if the "\" can cause problems.

For the moment I'm using the modded version in rpt4.rar a few posts ago ...

Thanks in advance for your update on this subject.

Edited November 6, 2013 by gagi

ollem · July 7, 2002

Right answer:

if ( isServer || tpwcas_isHC ) then " => otherwise HC might not be started correctly

" nul = [] execvm "\tpwcas\tpwcas_init.sqf";" => though " nul = [] execvm "tpwcas\tpwcas_init.sqf";" should be okay too the '\' is better in case of mod.

gagi · August 5, 2013

Thanks a lot Ollem, awaiting answer from Lordprimate as he begun the mod packaging.

lordprimate · March 7, 2012

Cool, so looking at all my older versions dating back to the beginning, has always been isServer, Nice Catch Gagi!! really!!

I have to apologize i have been working a bit more and i also signed up to test bCombat. so i have been testing that alot. Ill take the next few hours and go threw test tpwcas with the changes and post up and update I think that i have already packed it i just havent spent time testing it so i didnt want to release it!

Ollem, you might want to change that in your ARMA 2 version as well because that is also the same.. I just checked the arma 2 version (because of when you accidentaly posted the arma 2 script version here and i had adopted the HC check from that older version)

edit: yup i already packed it up with the corrections, ill post in a few after a few tests.

Update Shortly!

having a few issues, for some reason the debug stuff doesnt work in MP.. does anyoneknow if BIS_fnc_MP is broken ??

ok just looked into it , older versions i have use CBA_fnc_globalvent and they work in MP on a dedi server. but the later version that use bis_fnc_MP dont work on a dedi..

anyone ?

Edited November 7, 2013 by Lordprimate

gagi · August 5, 2013

With tpwcas and stable branch?

What are symptoms ? (Rpt or visuals?)

lordprimate · March 7, 2012

I play on the dev branch almost exclusivily.

from my 10 hours of trying to figure out why in tpwcas "I" had broken, i came the the realization that it is indeed BIS_fnc_MP that is broken on dedicated servers. If i switch out the function to CBA_fnc_globalEvent it works... but thats an old version of the script i dont want to backtrack. so i am going to leave it as it..

I believe that it is only the debugging that is affected. I "think" the rest of the mod works ok (havent checked HC).

gagi · August 5, 2013

This one sounds bad !!!

Ollem, what do you think, do you think it only affects debugging?

Thanks guys

Edited November 8, 2013 by gagi

ollem · July 7, 2002

Looked at the debug code but I do not see what's wrong either.

I doubt BIS_fnc_MP is the error, but I play/develop on stable only - so could be dev branch issue

Will try to have a proper look at it this weekend.
