staged mission editor

[mustng2]

Reinstalled the game.  When I start the staged mission editor it says fmodstudio.dll not found.  Also some of the missions I wrote now require a password.  I did not do that and don't know what it is.

  Tried one of the missions I created and it asked me for a password also. That was a first. That mission always worked flawlessly in the past and I never set a password for any of the missions I created.

Currently there is a known bug on local only missions mistakenly asking for pwd.  He's working on it. Were you trying to run it offline? 

For now, missions are best run by uploading to the server and running it in a Custom Arena.  Hopefully the next patch will clear most of the issue up.

Yes...offline.

Yes...offline.

Offline has a lot of problems right now that are being worked on.  You'll see a lot of weird behavior and bugs and waste time thinking you made your mission wrong.

Until the next release, my advice is to upload the mission to the server (There is a AHUpload.exe in your distro).  Then run the mission in a Custom Arena.  (If you've never done that, this might help: https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,397942.0.html)

Missions run in a Custom Arena are stable.

Let me know if you need help.

Thanks CptTrips. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the info.  I was able to upload and run one of mine in custom arena.  Any ideas about the missing fmod file that keeps me from running the editor?

Sorry, no, I haven't been getting that error.

Did you reinstall clean or patch an existing versions?

If the latter maybe rename your current dir (in case you need to recover settings files), and try a clean install?

Hmmm actually first, I'd try  renaming your  "Settings/AHEDMISS.cfg" and restarting and letting it create a new one.  Sometimes that fixes weird problems for me.

Hello.  Mustangs IA1v1BF109vSpit8  now needs a password and will not download.   

[mustng2]

Must be the same bug.  I know I did not put a password on it.  My problem with the misseditor was because I moved the .exe to the desk top.  If I use it in the AH folder it tries to work, but still does not open.  Think it is looking for a file that does not exist anymore.  I remember that problem from long ago, but not sure what I did about it.

Did you try it off line or on line in a custom arena?

I think the bug pops up when you try off line.

You cant just "move" the exe file, you have to reinstall the game. dll file are windows files so when the game is installed I think it looks at the location of the exe file as compared to the windows file that holds the dll files. Moving the exe changes that path and so breaks it.

You can move the "shortcut" around because it is still "pointing" at the exe file. Just spit ballin here.

If you last config gets in a weird state you can never open.  Often I have unstuck myself by starting with a fresh config.
