forgot to put the key before the ending script

 

Nope, rechecked. ActivateKey "07_CWR2_Invasion"; is in place and is executed 20 seconds before the End#1 trigger by the same GameLogic's waypoint. And since you've seen debriefing this entire set up works. One more strange stuff to think over.

I'll make a playtest tomorrow and see if the debriefing shows up as intended, just to be sure.

Run the #04's insertion phase at least dozen times and still haven't got any of the OPFOR groups stalled on the convoy site. And don't have any more ideas about what could cause that issue.

Any help or suggestion would be very appreciated.

I only had that issue for once. Perhaps it was just a coincidence? Restarting the mission could solve the problem. I'll check it soon.

[Batteriefuhrer 1-288 65]

Thank you, Kalle. And if your test run won't net anything on this issue I tend to write this bug off for now and concentrate on solvable problems.

 

Do you have any situation update on the #07's ending?

No update on mission #07's ending. I'll check it immediately.

 

Here are the results of #04 Tsunami mission.

 

1st try: Squad was standing at the Kill zone.

 

2nd try: Two transport helicopters crashed into the hills in east of the Kill zone.

 

3rd try: Squadleader is moving to south for some odd reason. Behaviour is possibly 'combat'. Other elements proceeded to the forest after receiving the order to interdict. First task is not considered complete.

 

This is very odd since it's working on your PC but not on mine. Maybe the complexity of the mission appears to be causing this. I believe I have encountered the same effect earlier on some other missions during my Arma years. Could be just "Arma".

[Batteriefuhrer 1-288 65]

Yeah. Strange.

And the result is terrible, and since you get issues that often at this phase we can't consider the mission to be reliable. I will search further then.

 

Do you test in the editor of from the SP mode?

[Kalle M. 103]

Update on mission #07:

 

Everything worked as intended during the mission. Debriefing showed up as planned. However, the doneKeys didn't work. The mission is not marked 'completed'.

 

Have you used the donekeys inside gameLogics in other missions too? I was just wondering.

[Batteriefuhrer 1-288 65]

Understood on #07, will recheck. Thank you.

Yeah, donekeys are set in GameLogics' waypoints throughout the pack in the same manner.

[Kalle M. 103]

About mission #11

There is an error during the briefing which says: "Picture sp_11_assault.paa not found". There is missing a picture in the notes.

 

I'll update this reply if I find anything else regarding mission #11.

Sorry for the late response, I tested on SP mode. As everything else too.

[Batteriefuhrer 1-288 65]

On the #11: the image was in but the .csv contained an outdated reference. Fixed. Thank you.

Four more testruns of the #04 landing. Still had the group leader departing the LZ each time. Stress-tested with heavy CPU load by setting all possible video settings to maximum and launching two heavy virtual machines in the background. Nope. The performance drop doesn't affect this thing.

Tried time acceleration twice and immediately got 3 group members running somewhere into the hills westwards of the LZ and failing to "return into formation". Helicopter crashed. Albeit these were gunships, not assault Kamovs.

 

Did you use time acceleration on any test runs?

Nope, I didn't use the time acceleration. I will do a few tests and see if it goes hell. I think the two choppers that crashed in my test were transport helicopters, since they flew right in front of my chopper and seemed unarmed.

Hi guys

 

my email notification for my thread doesn't work. Thanks, Kalle for reporting your test experience. The last time I have played 04_Tsunami everything went well. I had in a couple of former playthroughs the same problems with being stuck at the LZ. But the last 3 times I tested the mission everything went smooth. I recorded the last playthrough as well.  I won't test this mission anymore since you are both already behind it .

Thanks for your feedback Kalle.

That's good news. Perhaps it would be better to ignore my reports regarding #04 Tsunami until someone else has the same problems?

Well, the problem exists evidentially and since you experienced it you reported it.  Sometimes it's really hard to understand where the flaw is. The Arme engine at times is unpredictable and it's hard to fix things when it's happening from time to time only.

Hi, since there are no any ideas on the #04's issue for the time being, I plan to move on with completing fixes to other pack's missions. I will get back to it closer to a point when we're ready to release an update. With a fresh eye and an unbent brain I'll probably be abler to come up with something.

 

Found the #07's donekey issue, BTW. For some mysterious reason, I put two ending triggers and the one with missing donekey command had a shorter timeout thus rendering the correct one useless. Fixed.

[Kalle M. 103]

Update on mission #04

The ambush was executed as planned, no bugs detected. Proceeding with the mission.

 

So far so good...

[Batteriefuhrer 1-288 65]

Seems it's the first #04's testrun since the release which allowed you proceeding any further. Looks towardly for now.

Happy hunting ground, Kalle )
