[Help] "[bis_fnc_getrespawnmarkers] base respawn for UNKNOWN is not supported"

Lineman · July 25, 2018

Using respawn markers to define 2 respawns, respawn_west_1 and respawn_west_2. We're playing as Blufor. Respawn on Custom Position is selected in attributes/multiplayer.

Problem is upon entering server, the respawn button is disabled and we're stuck at a black screen.

This message appears in the bottom left: [bis_fnc_getrespawnmarkers] base respawn for UNKNOWN is not supported

Other info...

//description.ext

respawn = 3;
respawnButton = 1;
respawnDelay = 5;
disabledAI = 1;
respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition","Spectator"};

use instead respawnTemplates[]

respawnOnStart = -1;

respawnTemplatesWest[] = {"MenuPosition","Spectator"};

That means something else are wrong with your mission. Post your mission somewhere

Due to mods, you won't be able to open in Eden, but I am not using respawn scripts inside editor anyway.

Might want to re-save your mission unbinarized so folks can see what is going on. In Editor -- Attributes > General > Binarize the scenario file (uncheck this).

There is already a complex respawning system included in this mission. You can't just pile your own on top of it.

Are you sure? This is the mission.sqm from fresh download of very same map, before I started editing (very short):

Right, but why would adding inventory items, creating extra spawn positions and extending respawn time, totally disable ability for players to spawn?

The weirdest thing is that these spawn/inventory scripts worked in several of my ops, INCLUDING this one (played through to the end last night with 10 people). Loaded it up today, increased the number of hostile/friendly AI, and we're now faced with the black screen / respawn disabled button.

You are introducing a conflict with the existing respawn system. Conflicts tend to cause errors. The correct approach would be either to learn how the existing system works and adapt it to suit your needs, or to create your own mission from scratch.

Deleted everything pertaining to respawns for both AI and humans. Deleted all playable units. Then added 1 playable Blufor infantryman, and a Respawn Position module...

Name: FRONT
Type: Infantry
Side: Blufor

Show to: Only the side
Notification disabled

//description.ext

Spoiler

respawn = 3;
respawnButton = 1;
respawnDelay = 5;
disabledAI = 1;
respawnTemplates[] = {"Spectator","MenuPosition"};

Got the same result. Black map screen with respawn button disabled.

Started rebuilding from scratch, testing every couple of minutes.

Got to the point where everything was almost as it was when I first made this thread, then the respawn error appeared after placing about 30 mines in the editor.

I reduced the number of "PMD-6 anti-infantry mines" (from the Iron Front mod) to 10, now everything is working perfectly. Tested several times by repeatedly increasing and decreasing the quantity of these mines. Respawn consistently becomes disabled at around 30 mines.

Worth noting that I never added script to these mines, nor were they near anything spawn-related. Very strange.

Harzach · March 18, 2012

That is pretty freaky, and I suppose taking a look is as good a reason as any for me to finally download IFA.

*edit* - Can not repro, placed 3,000 PMD-6 mines and respawn was still functional.

Should probably link to a .rpt file from a failed mission start. The default location of your .rpt files is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arma 3. Start Arma, try to play the mission, then quit. Grab the latest .rpt file and put it on Pastebin or similar. Drive is fine, too.

I just tried playing the broken version and did not receive a new .rpt file, and I don't know which of the older .rpt files are related to that mission. On a good note, 11 of us managed to complete the unbroken version last night.

Harzach · March 18, 2012

A new .rpt is created every time you run Arma. To get a new, "clean" .rpt file:

Start Arma
Do whatever it is that causes the error
Close Arma
