Missing something stupid
« on: October 03, 2010, 02:54:13 PM »
I know I must be overlooking something stupid but I seem to have an odd sort of problem with an offline mission that I just created.

I decided that I was going to create a mission on the terrain that I just finished and submitted for approval by HTC and since it could be a while until it gets approved. What the heck someone might as well play on it until I can see it amongst the masses. Well the problem is that I play the mission and die or have to end it early for whatever reason and when I try to re-up icon on the map show as though the last one is still playing out and the orders are for the last as well. For instance the text tells me attack at will but I am on the runway since I just re-launched the mission and when I looked at the map the icon shows that I should be halfway through the mission. Now when I use any other mission on another map things work fine.

Anyone else have a problem like this or at least think they know what my problem may be caused by?

Here is the mission and the terrain if anyone is interested in checking it out.

I didn't think about putting the mis file onto my thumbdrive until i was already at my work computer so if it helps I can get that to you too but it will be a little later on.

What I have checked in the mean time was that both flights have the show in arena box checked and that all my waypoints are correct.

I don't understand.  Are you expecting the mission to restart every time you launch?

When I start off the mission using the offline mission section while offline. If I do this on any other terrain it works. I missions on the new terrain and several others and multiple times and the only time it does not work is when I use my new terrain.

Make sure you've placed a Briefing Room object at the field where the mission starts.

Does that need to be added separately from the regular field object? If so then I guess that is it.

Default fields already have one.  If it's a custom field you need to add it.

That is odd then since I used the default fields that came with TE and the fields were placed (i believe) with the most recent version. If not then it was the one before this one.

I will check the terrain this weekend to see though if it missing for some reason.

I checked the terrain and found that the fields have their briefing rooms. I do appreciate all your help guys.

If it helps here is the terrain files and the mis file as well.

Easy fix.  You must have a briefing room duration for each side.  I usually go with 10 seconds unless my briefing room events require longer.  I put 10 seconds in for each side & then rebuilt the .res and the mission played just fine.
