Error in user campagin

Post by Tazak »

Something is going wrong with a user created campaign - The Black Rats - tm.asp?m=3671077&mpage=2&key=&#3678346

I've checked the campaign and for some reason the 4th battle is being replayed instead of the 5th battle.

actions to date:
All scenario files were updated post 2.04 and a last play through before releasing did not show this issue.
The 5th battle loads fine in the scenario creator and if selected as a standalone battle (moving the file to the relevant folder)
I've deleted the .cam file and recreated it - TNA
the map used loads okay in the scenario creator

Tazak, can you send the last saved game of the next to last scenario so that we can run it and see what is happening. If Rob can trigger it, he should be able to figure it out. I looked at the campaign itself and everything seemed ok.

Send it to crbelva@comcast.net and I will get it to him. Thanks

I've got some saves at various points, including just before and just after the end of the 4th scen.

I'll load them up when I get home tonight.

Guys, how did each scenario end? Sudden death or time limit?

Mine was sudden death. See attached save.

I'm betting on a misplaced comma. [:D]

No I cheated and ended the battle early @70% of the time

Ok, I looked at WABAC's saved game that he posted and he was right, the problem was a "comma" --just kidding--[8D]
 
Honestly, I don't have a clue. I ran the saved game and sure enough it went back to the 4th scenario instead of going to the 5th. One think I did notice was that all the kill markers were still on the map when it started the next scenario. I wonder if it is not clearing the 4th scenario from memory properly. I have forwarded this up to the "Master of Everything FPC". Hopefully Rob will get this nailed fairly quickly.

Thanks WABAC

TBH it wouldn't surprise me if I have missed something like a comma :)

I got that t-shirt for my Soviet TOE. Haven't got to my scenario design yet to discover what I can do there to break things.

I don't even want to know the count of t-shirts, hats, jackets, and coffee mugs I would have for errors setting up the data. Thankfully the scenario and campaign editors are much more user friendly.

Don't know how many scenarios are supposed to be in the Wolves campaign, but I see the same problem with the transition from 7 to 8. I won't be able to post a save til later.

Scenario five still has the wrong name except it's the other way around, if you you know what I mean. Now it is looking for Teutonic Knights. So I renamed it again. [:D]

Is that with 2.05? We have a fix for the breakdown for the last scenario in the campaign that will be in 2.06.I will get with Steve in tonight's Dev call and go over the files. If we have a fix we will post an updated campaign over on our website and let you guys know about it.

Thanks for the information.

Yes, 2.05. Was calling for Wolf Trap but the scenario was named Teutonic Knights in 2.04. Now it is calling for Teutonic Knights but the file is named Wolf Trap. Whatever it is called, there are some *interesting* changes to it. [X(]
