Unwanted "groups" in mission.sqm

[Lenin 0]

Hi!

I've made a MP mission with only four extra addons and some BIS stuff. After sending it on a server, none of my mates could play - thed didn't have one addon: groups.

I've not ever had that addon, so I checked in mission.sqm. And yes, there it was, "groups", eaven twice!

Can somebody tell mi which addon causes this enter in the file? I must delate it, because eaven when I erase these "groups" form the file, OFP writes it back. It's anoying like hell.

I hope someone will help me as soon as possible!

Often when I play a CTI, I get the error message "cannot load missions, missing addons; groups", but i click OK and it works out anyway.

But in your case the mission really can't load, cause your missing groups, right?

Just do like this;

Make a copy of everything in your mission, go out to the starting screen, open the island again, and paste it in, resave the mission and try again. Don't know if this is gonna work, but give it a try and report back!

Nope, it doesn't help :-(

This f*** "groups" is still in mission.sqm addon register.

Open the mission.sqm, delete the whole row with "group" as an addon. Test it then.

Works?

Roger that, sorry missed it, noone is perfect.

*Boom*

OK, you get thrown back from the server, cause you can't load the mission, or do you only get a message saying that you cant (wich you can click OK on)?

In that case, click OK and ignore it. Otherwise, redo the mission (!?)

Otherwise I don't have a clue of what to do...

I've had this problem one year ago. Unless I'm mistaking it was caused by an old version of one of Kegetys arctic soldiers keg_rpg7 or something similar. If you go to the Ofpec forums and search for missing addons "group" I think you will find my old problem thread.

EDIT: Sorry Kegety's... my mistake. I found the old thread. This is what solved my problem:

The "missing addons: Groups" error comes from you having one or more broken addons. They all have faulty configs.

That fault was common in addons 2001-2002 but has later disappeared. Or so we thought... now, it has popped up again in a recent addon (John J Rambo's Middle East Rebels). This addon also has a broken config and is therefore completely useless for mission making until fixed.

From memory, at least the following addons are faulty:

jjr_rebels.pbo (mentioned above)

All addons by UCEE (named uce_something.pbo)

This belonged in Mission Editing & Scripting not user missions, as it's now solved I'll close then move there.
