>But apparently, it also now causes the following error message, along with a failure to load previous save game points

 

That is very odd indeed. Can you link the version of that mod you were using?

 

There's a text file in the folder that says it's version 3.3

-V

 

 

Version 3.0:

- Added support for the Huron.

- Fixed a lot of errors.

Version 3.1:

- Multiple Changes to the UI.

- New helo skins made by Patchwork!

- New helo crew helmets by Patchwork!

- Fixed IR jammer error (Thanks SykoCrazy!)

- New keys.

Version 3.2:

- Removed Radar Boxes from HMD and replaced with UI boxes.

- CAS variant of the comanche with pilot controlled rockets (DAR) and Hellfires (K & N) instead of ASRAAMS (Courtesy of Neptune).

- Little bird has 3 skins available: OLive, Black and ACU pattern.

- Fixed gear problem in HMD for Transport helos.

Version 3.3:

- Fixed hellfire missing textures.

Heyvern69, he asked you to link the mod.

Anyway, here's another thread he started which has more info on the error that causes the save/load issues. Maybe the CBA team will find it useful: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/192671-bis-fnc-animalbehaviour-cant-load-my-mission-save-points-anymore/

[heyvern69 22]

FYI, it was version 3.3 Of Kimi's HMDs that caused this problem/bug.

 

I updated to the current version (v3.6) and tested it, and the problem went away!

 

Problem solved.  Happy again!  :D :P :lol: ;)

Hey Devs!

 

I know that -filepatching isn't needed to run CBA on a server (but for some mods they still DO need -filepatching).  However, when I run CBA on -filepatching it brings up a file not found in userconfig/cba/settings.sqf.

 

Any ideas for a fix ?

[Tajin 349]

have you tried simply creating that file? ;)

[kremator 1065]

^^ will try that now Tajin and see what happens :)

[probad 44]

still looking forward to update jointrails for khaki bipod thx

Already fixed for next release. Hardly looks like hotfix material.

[WolfenswanFA 19]

We're experiencing an issue where settings modified on the server (ASR in this case) aren't properly stored server-side and reset after every mission change.

 

Should the settings be written directly into the server's profile file? I'm not sure where to start to pin down this issue.

[commy2 188]

Yes, profileNamespace

[davidoss 552]

Hi.
Found an error in CBA_fnc_taskDefend.
Line 47

[_statics,{(_x emptyPositions "Gunner") > 0},true] call CBA_fnc_filter;

@EDIT:  Already fixed by great CBA team, thank you.

Hi, for an own addon I use CBA keybinding framework. It works, the script is called, but I get the error messages as can be seen below. Thank you!

This is the call:

["TORT_Escape","tort_teleport_key", "Random teleport", {_this call tort_teleport_map}, {}, [0x14, [false, true, true]]] call CBA_fnc_addKeybind;

This is the error message.

18:01:33 Error in expression <rams;
_params pushBack _x;

_blockInput = _params call _code;


};

if (_blockIn>
18:01:33   Error position: <= _params call _code;


};

if (_blockIn>
18:01:33   Error Generic error in expression
18:01:33 File x\cba\addons\events\fnc_keyHandlerDown.sqf, line 46

EDIT: OK, I chose the wrong call, (EDIT2: No I think above call should work!) I want the call without different actions for keyup/down. But still I get error messages with the new call:

 

["TORT_Escape", "tort_teleport_key", "Random teleport", ["player", [], -100, "_this call tort_teleport_map"], [0x14, [false, true, true]]] call CBA_fnc_addKeybindToFleximenu;

18:13:08 Error in expression <
_array = toArray _menuSource;
_menuDef = if (_array find 46 >= 0 && {_array fin>
18:13:08   Error position: <= if (_array find 46 >= 0 && {_array fin>
18:13:08   Error Generic error in expression
18:13:08 File x\cba\addons\ui\flexiMenu\fnc_getMenuDef.sqf, line 46

Next observation: It recognizes every second keypress.

[tortuosit 486]

OH! solved here, but cause is not clear: https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/issues/483

Another observation: 

["TORT_Escape","tort_escape_key", "Escape now!", {_this call tort_escape_do}, {}, [0x9C, [false, true, false]],false] call CBA_fnc_addKeybind;
["TORT_Escape","tort_teleport_key", "Random teleport", {_this call tort_teleport_map}, {}, [0x14, [false, true, true]],false] call CBA_fnc_addKeybind;

The first call does not drop the error, but the second does.

Thanks for making Arma a better Game!

Recently, we had several instances on our sever where a loaded mission would spew out an error message and drop back into the lobby.

The message would always be something like this:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/CUP_Vacannon_SPG9_veh/player.aiRateOfFire'.

I've checked the RPT file, and I find those messages here:
 

2016/09/07, 17:21:30 [XEH]: One or more children of class AllVehicles do not support Extended Event Handlers. Fall back to loop.
2016/09/07, 17:21:30 [1.21764e+07,245647,0,"XEH: PreInit finished."]
2016/09/07, 17:21:31 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/CUP_Vacannon_SPG9_veh/player.displayName'.
2016/09/07, 17:21:31 Warning Message: '/' is not a value
2016/09/07, 17:21:31 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/CUP_Vacannon_SPG9_veh/player.textureType'.
2016/09/07, 17:21:31 Warning Message: '/' is not a value
2016/09/07, 17:21:31 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/CUP_Vacannon_SPG9_veh/player.multiplier'.
2016/09/07, 17:21:31 Warning Message: '/' is not a value

The interesting par is the message from XEH about "falling back to loop".

So the question is, is it possible that CBA is scanning the configs and cause those messages, ultimately causing the mission to fail loading ?

The problem does not appear on vanilla servers, but it can appear with any mission, addons or no.

Any idea ?

Edit: Should add: The warnings are always about different stuff, not only CUP, but also RHS, or even vanilla assets.

Faulty inheritance definition for subclass "player" should be the origin.

[AZCoder 921]

The function CBA_fnc_taskDefend does not work in the current version. It throws a generic error on line 79: _x assignAsGunner (_statics deleteAt 0);

Interestingly, the code for that function does not entirely match the code on GitHub from this past July. If I use the code from GitHub, it works fine, no errors.

That's because you are checking 'master' branch, which is the development branch, and that bug has already been fixed there. :)

[AZCoder 921]

Awesome :)  Thanks.

x\cba\addons\events\fnc_keyHandlerDown.sqf, line 46 - Error in expression #483
 
Hi CBA guys, I found a fix/workaround for https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/issues/483. I'm really happy because it annoyed me so much.
I think it happens if the called function has no return value. Maybe you can catch this for the user.
Now the user simply has to put a return value (here "true") into it. No more error message!

myfunction =
{
   _a = 0;
   _b = 5;
   hint str random [_a, _a, _b];
   true // <----
};

[commy2 188]

We can't detect the return value of a function in SQF without calling it (which would lead to unpredicatble behaviour). If I ever get to rewriting the CBA keybinding system (imo the weakest component after the cleanup of the upcomming update except for maybe the flexi menu), I'll change this.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Some CBA keybinds might not appear in the controls menu. The easiest currently known workaround is to create a new user profile.
