Played 2 already and their great. Am going for the third in about a few seconds 3 2 1

Thx and bye

very nice missions snacko thanks a lot, i love them but they had a bunch of validation errors. they didn't seem to have any problems running though.

i had to do a lot of work moving waypoints and repositioning ships just enough to get rid of all the errors. they all validate fine now with no more errors but i had to end up deleting a few small docked ships that were just there to provide eye candy anyway. i just couldn't find enough room to fit them all without being too close together and that resulted in the mission still having validation errors.


i'm not sure if you intended to leave the mission full of errors but it can sometimes be unstable and cause ctd if there are mission errors.


thank you for all your hard work

i got something weird, when i start 1 of the three missions my pc crashes to desktop. but when i load another mission it runs fine.
its only with these three missions.

Sorry, I'm leaving on vacation for a few weeks, and can't look at this.

I never had this cdt probem and have not had any other reports of it. I have not played them with the 1.3 patch either.... They were developed using 1.2.

Webster posted that the mission editor gave him validation errors. That confused me because afaik you can't even save the mission with validation errors other than errors with the players sub. But he had errors with other things I think, so I don't now. I don't remember having those errors, or them even causing anybody any problems....

Well, I'm off for vacation....

yep i am using 1.3.
but have a nice holiday!

yes you can save with errors as long as you have the basic elements to complete the mission already validated. anything you add after that can have errors and still be saved, to be stable always finish up any changes to a mission by checking for any validation errors to avoid ctd.

the missions still ran ok for me but i went through them and cleaned up all the errors, it wasnt hard and only took about ten minutes per mission. i did however have to leave out a few small ships, gunboats, tugboats n such because of overcrowding in small areas, but i could have found another place for them if i wanted to, deleting them was easier and you never notice there missing.

EDIT: 90 percent of all the errors were ships too close together or waypoints that were missing or too close to next waypoint. i did come accross a few ships that needed to be told to "head to waypoint" but just one here and there that you would never notice.

those missions are for surface ships too?

[Snacko]

Surface ships too?? Of course!

I would very much like to try your missions... but the link is dead. Please re load them.

Thanks

I just fixed the link in the first post.

Give them another try and enjoy!

Cheers,
