RKSL System UPDATE and Expansion

[manzilla 1]

I think they mention something about the ch-47 not having automatic compatibility in the updated release post or the ReadMe. I think I saw something on this.

Is it just my machine?

With the new update using all RKSL Addons I get errors on the Dedi Server. If I run a simple mission with nothing by RKSL objects/vehicles then no problem but if I add a AA launcher I get missing addon warning Warfare bla bla Addon deleted.

If I remove the rksl_arma.pbo then I can make it work but can't use a RKSL UH60 or I get a rksl system error.

I am not sure why, but all my missions with old RKSL Addons had errors in Server Rpt about missing addons not RKSL. I assume conflicts, had to remove all RKSL items, real hassle any ideas?

I'll get UNN to have a look tomorrow but you definately shouldnt be getting those sorts of errors. Are you sure you have the latest builds on both the Server and Clients?

An example mission would be appreciated.

Nice work RKSL.

An example mission would be appreciated.

No problem I would love nothing better than to figure this out. And yes I do believe I have loaded the latest, I even deleted everything and started over. I hope this link works have not tried it in this forum.

In Test:

Client AddOns: RKSL, XEH, DBE1,Beta 1.16 (ARMALIB)

Server AddOns: Same as above

I also had to remove RKSL Lynks Helos as it saw them as deleted addons as well. This ONLY happens on Dedi Server not Local MP.

Thanks for your time.

Had the same issue on our server with various maps so ended up removing the arma.pbo to get it working and then used the "Call RKSL_TransportAdd" to get the cargo working again with the RKSL UH60.

Thanks Bear, at least you have confirmed it isn't just me. I have spent hours trying to figure out AddOn conflicts.

UPDATE: I think I figured it out. I REMOVED ARMALIB (dsound.dll in Beta Directory) from my CLIENT and did not get error on above sample mission. I will now try putting back RKSL AddOns in other missions and test.

Oh thats interesting. Thanks for posting. I'll see if i can replicate the problem with ArmAlib too.

[vengeance1 50]

UPDATE: While now I can get RKSL to work by itself without errors, HOWEVER I am still seeing this problem of multiple missing AddOns that ARE present and this error in my mission when I add back just RKSL Addons to both Client and Server but use no RKSL objects:

Timed Out: Object 89f672:rkslbisabox.p3d did not return valid sys index in .......

Hope this helps.

[vengeance1 50]

Oh forgot as reported by Bear these errors happen when including rksl_arma.pbo

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

@ Vengence any chance you can send me your arma.rpt and server.rpt files please?

[vengeance1 50]

Sure, do you have an email you can PM me?

Any word on why we are getting these errors on Dedi Server's? Would like to add back the Cargo and Flare Systems.

Thanks

We're still working on it. but I am having real problems replicating those errors. They arent showing in the logs you sent and all i get is missing addons errors so its taking time to track down all the addons you used.

Ok tell me how I can help, what can I do to isolate the problem?

Well part of the problem is our auto-inheritance. When it comes to the Cargo System some vehicles are being made Cargo compatible when they shouldn't. So we are going to revise this for just the Cargo System. Flares are ok, at least they won't cause Arma to lock up. They might be launched from odd places compared to RL, but it's also down to addon makers inheriting from sensible classes and not just using the A10 for everything.

The second problem is addons that don't work correctly with the ActivateAddon command and generating the 'content had been deleted error'. The F15 being a good example, I've looked through the configs and scripts but can't see why this addon generates the error when other third part addons don't.

So if you find any more addons that create the 'content deleted error' please let us know. BTW I could not generate this error with our Lynx. Also this error is not fatal and does not compromise game play in any way.

If I can't find any obvious reason why certain addons generate this error, I will add a function so you can activate them from the init line manually. Which unfortunately means some existing missions will have to be re-packed.

Cheers

Thanks UNN, I will begin with removing the F15 and check results. The good news I have a ton of Addons in my mission to test against, the bad news, it will take some time to remove them one at a time but I will give it some time between testing for NORRIN this weekend.

Dedi Server Results:

This is using nothing but your ADDON's, DBE1, XEH.

I have matching RKSL AddOns on both Client and Server, I double checked them.

Here is the Mission and Arma.rpt and Server.rpt

Below is the error I got by removing the F15 and replacing it with the F35;

Have I done something wrong?

Hmm, is there a way to download the latest version of these addons? Seems like the Arma1 versions are all missing on the server.
