Mission started - but people get kicked (crash) - Page 4

rsslcs · 05-29-09, 01:36 PM

OK, so I made a mission with an objective to sink a liner (Titanic): When I go to the mission menu, it is there, and it loads, but before the mission actually launches, the game CTDs. There is one objective (sink the ship) and an event which is basically a message that says 'you win!' (with a trigger ofc What am I doing wrong? Is it because of GWX? (that might be a very vague question so sorry for that but I know next to nothing about the editor.

)

First, I'd try using a different ship instead of the Titanic. It may be that the Titanic has a problem and is causing the CTD.

Check around to make sure you have the latest version of Titanic. I know VonDos re-released several of his ships due to a bug he discovered after cloning original units as the base for creating new ships.

It's also possible that Titanic is not compatible with GWX 3.0, possibly due to diffences in the 'zon' or 'dat' files.

If that still does not fix the trouble, check for these common mistakes, most of which can be found by Validating the mission:

Units are placed too close together
No waypoints set for one or more units. Everything must have at least one waypoint!
One or more waypoints do not have the minimum distance of 1,000 meters (1 km). Waypoints should not be set to less than this.
A waypoint is too close to a unit.
Make sure all player subs have an entry date and time set no later than the start of the mission.
Be certain you have not accidentally checked "Human Controlled" for a unit other than the players' subs.
Likewise, be sure all player subs do not have "Delete on Last Waypoint" checked. Having a player sub disappearing during the game could cause more problems than simply upsetting the player.

You can get the "fixed" version of the SH3 Mission Editor with a Readme.txt on how to install, along with the greatly expanded manual and a Mission Editor Tips document to help you learn most of the Mission Editor's features, here... SH3 Mission Editor v2.zip

I hope this helps you out, rsslcs. Looking forward to many great missions from you in the near future!

Thankyou for the help!

You are very welcome, good sir!

Now I'm curious to know the results. Did you get that broken mission fixed?

Errr, the link to SH3 Mission Editor v2.zip seems dead....

It seems that FileFront has yet again done another reshuffling of its site. A rather distressing habit the new owners have indulged themsleves in to the point of becoming quite annoying.

I'll try to get that updated Mission Editor uploaded to my Beyond The Shaows account within the next day or two so you can get it, matthewlue.

Thank you.

Hello everybody,

I don't understand why my multiplayer mission for GWM is not working for my friends. We have the same parameters and mods... Could someone have a look at my mission please ? (PM me)

F.

Fahnenbohn · 11-14-15, 04:38 AM

OK. Blackswan helped me (in fact, he corrected himself the errors, what a kind man !), and the mission is working now.

Thank you so much !

Yes, I am going to host myself. This is my first MP mission : an attack against a large american convoy.

PS : I am using a mod that changes the torpedoes and depth charges settings (more realistic), files located in the Library folder. I don't know if you have to download the mod too.
