Upload issue.
« on: November 24, 2019, 10:00:23 AM »
 Thanks for responding CptTrips.  I am unable to upload a few of my staged missions in the AH uploader.

 Keep getting  "Upload Error" message. Keeps telling me  "mission needs to be checked for errors by building the  resource file in editor before uploading". That was done when missions were created previously. Opened one of those missions in editor and tried rebuilding the .res file but it did not work.

 Suggestions? I'm stumped.    Thanks.

So here are the steps:

1.  Get a clean build of your mission in the editor first.  Until it builds without errors, you can't proceed. After your build, don't change anything before you upload it.  Verification info and some kind of checksum prove to the uploader that it has been verified and has not altered since has been recorded. 

2.  In the uploader, you upload the mis file.  It checks that it had previously been verified and not altered since.  It uploads the source and I believe compiles it itself on the server.  (Probably for hacking protection.) 

3.  Once the mission has been built on the server, it can be loaded from a Custom Arena like: https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,397942.0.html


So, on step 1, are you getting a build error?  What is it?

Hi Cpt.  Just finished making a brand new staged mission. Clicked on build res file. No error there. so I closed it and tried to upload it and got the same error. Both a .mis and .res file are now in ah folder. Will try messing with it again later, frustrated now.  Thank for the info. I will post again later . Thanks.

If you wanted to attach the mis file here, I can give it a try.

Oh, and as I said here: https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,397985.0.html 
working with staged missions is an exercise in pain tolerance.  :D

But it's a content tool, not necessarily intended for the average player.

Thanks again Cpt.

Not unfamiliar with using/modifying software. Used to program with COBAL in the 70's. Long time ago but I'm not a total dunce. Just an old one.

Trying to attach the  new .mis file now for your perusal.

Had no problem building or uploading that.

It is up there now.

Something must be wrong with your upload parameters.

Assuming you are using the latest version, double check you Login ID (not your in-game name, but the account id.  Mine is showing my email.) and login password.

Bixby,

Were you able to get this sorted?

CptTrips.
   
    Thanks for the help. Followed your instructions and it worked just as designed.

    I made that mission rather hastily and was rusty on the process. Will make a couple more with a few of my personal favorite aircraft.
Thanks again for the help.

I created and uploaded a new mission today on the ndisles terrain, "ukvus". Worked flawlessly and was a blast.

Spit 9 a Spit 16 and a Hurricane II against P-51B, P47-11, P38-J and an FM2.

I hope some people try it and let me know what you think.   Thanks...Bixby.

Awesome!  Enjoyed it.

A couple of other hints.  After your first build, you will see a folder named the same as your mission file. 
In that you can place a 1024x1024 png to show as the mission icon in the mission listing.
You can also drop in a AWA file to give your mission clouds.  Until you get up to speed with the cloud editor, you can start with some of Brooke's excellent examples. 
http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/ahScenarioGuild/cloudDesignsAH3.htm

Drop those in that folder and do another build/upload to update with that new data.


I'm hoping that with the upcoming improvements to the Offline mission system, it will make them more accessible to players to enjoy and maybe rekindle a mission makers community that has seems to have died out here.  It will never replace the best of human vs human game-play, but can offer variety  and yet another way to enjoy this sim when you want something a little different than the some ole same ole Melee grind in between Scenarios and Events.
