Title: staged missions in custom arena lockup
Post by: mustng2 on September 24, 2016, 09:31:39 AM
I tried 2 different staged missions in 2 different custom arenas for 2 different  terrains and they both lock up on the 2 second briefing screen.  As near as I can determine the mission starts, but it does not put the player in his plane.  Both of these missions worked previously and do work offline.  You can bring up the clipboard and kill the mission.

Tried a 4th terrain and chose a mission I did not author just in case that was causing an issue.  Same results, hangs up at the 2 second briefing mark, but you can bring up the clipboard and kill the mission.  Only player in the arena.  eur2015 terrain and one of the P38 mission not written by me.

Tried a staged mission from another computer on another network with a different IS provider.  Same results, hangs up at the 2 second mark.  Am I the only one getting this or just the only one using staged missions in a custom arena?

I can confirm what mustang is reporting. I tried several, including HTC made missions and they hang up once you are in the briefing room and they never start, or perhaps they start but you don't spawn into the mission. If the mission has a briefing, you don't see that either.

The missions seem to be running Ok in the mission arena, I was able to join one that was already running in there.

Could you do whatever you did before to fix this and maybe permanently fix it?

It should work now, no I can not fix it "Permenently" Because it is operator installation error on 1 server.

As you predicted, this bug is back with a twist.  I go to the CM tools and shut down the arena, get the usual messages and host lost, but the arena stays up.  Also was suppose to load Tunisia terrain, but loaded another one, craterma I think.

Once again confirming. Both these things happened to me as well. Can you explain "operator installation error" Are we doing something wrong?

Any way to predict when this bug is going to show up?  Always seems to show up at the time when we need the missions on the weekend and does not get corrected till monday.  Tied to main arena terrain change or anything like that?

I'm guessing there was a question about the definition of "operator" in your replies since it can refer to code or a person and in the second case it doesn't specify which person.

Pardon my ignorance, I don't know what a stdshape.res is and I could not quite put the two statements above together, but is a new stdshape.res associated with a new or modified terrain posted to the server?  Is fixing this bug permanently impossible or understandably just further down on the list of things to do?

Asked and answered TWICE.  An operator is a person ,people make mistakes,  I can not fix people.

Ok
I just wanted to know if it was something I or other players were doing on the upload end so we could correct it
