liteluvr Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 (edited) I just finished scripting a new mission that works great in single player mode, and multi player mode when I create the session on my pc. My question is this: I sent the file to a clan-mate to host, and it wouldn't work. What do I need to do to make a mission MP capable? I tried to export the script, and got an error about multiple script-dependent objects, and that it wouldn't be playable... Help!!! ME: I'll even email the mission if anyone wants to have a look.

NYR_32 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 What do you mean it didn't work? Did it even show up in the listing of Missions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el nino foxhound Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Does your friend has the same mods activated as you? Also keep in mind that if you used anything of another mod your friend needs that mod also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack57 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 If it's a regular mission with mission dependant objects (almost anything that you place on the map in Igor) then you won't be able to successfully export it as a gtf's. Gtf's are intended for use on ANY map - so logically you can't have placed objects. If you have any custom files in your mod then it won't be serversided - ie; your friends will need the mod installed as well. If your mission doesn't have any customised files then put it in the the mission directory of it's parent mod (GR, DS or IT) and others should be able to join.

liteluvr Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 I've gone through it, and can't readily see what the problem is.... Would it be possible for you to take a look at it if I emailed you the script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XmanL Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hey... Send it to me and i'll check it out... Send it to: stig@wolla.dk or xmanl@mib-eu.dk - XmanL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt03 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Is this supposed to be a GTF or a mission. Let me just role through possible solutions not knowing what the thing is. Seeing as you got the errors when you tried exporting it says to me that it is a mission. Maybe you used an actor or kit or something that the other person doesn't have. Know that if you use an atr or a kit that is not stock GR then the user must have that file in order to play. An easy why to fix that would be to setup a new mod and ship it to him. That would be about all I can think of for right now seeing as it works fine on your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt03 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I would also advise you try to prevent a CTD from the shadow bug. What you need to do is make all actors that aren't visible at the start of the game invincible. That way there is less of a possibility of a hidden actor being killed. Just remember to make the vulnerable when you show them. This bug only effects MP so this is another thing you should do for MP missions.

el nino foxhound Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 (edited) Hi there, I took a quick look and yes it crashes at startup for me too, even in SP. I looked in the IKE log and it says something about textures. Did you change anything of that? Also the sound klaxon.wav is a sound from frostbite mod, so people need to have frostbite. I hope some guys can tell you exactly whats wrong with it when they look at the IKE log. Ghost Recon (RELEASE) version = 1.4.0.0(0) RSDisplayMgr::CreateGameWindow: Creating a 1024x768 window at 0,0 on monitor Plug en Play-monitor attached to RADEON 9500 PRO / 9700 RSDisplayMgr::CreateGameWindow: Game running on primary display Plug en Play-monitor attached to RADEON 9500 PRO / 9700 HAL (hw vp): RADEON 9500 PRO / 9700 R5G6B5 RSFILEDATA: FindFile could not find file ike_fx_fire_type2.tga this one RSFILEDATA: FindFile could not find file ike_fx_fire_type2.rsb this one Unable to find ike_fx_fire_type2.tga anywhere.

If you like I could check that also. Greets, Edited April 14, 2004 by el nino foxhound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt03 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Those textures are missiong for everyone I think. A sound wouldn't cause a CTD. I would still think it is an atr or a kit. Maybe a vehicle if you used anything from frostbite. But I assume if those were missing it would have shown up in the ike.log. Just check the actors and kits. Maybe you used a custom env. and that could be the problem. If you used anything not stock then the person who wants to play it will need those files.

el nino foxhound Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 @ liteluvr. REMOVE the m2 bradley. You changed its name to nogunbradley.vcl and that is what is crashing the mission. Replace it with just the standard M2 Bradley and the mission will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liteluvr Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Sorry for not replying.... Got busy with work stuff.... I'll take a look at these comments and see if they make a difference. Thanks for the help/input guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liteluvr Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Okay... this is odd.... when I did a search of my GR folders, I didn't find the ike_fx_fire_type2.tga, ike_fx_fire_type2.rsb, or lighthalo_effect3.rsb files. Odd... And I double checked the M2 Bradley VCL file, and it's actually in the MP1 Actors folder... so I wouldn't think that would cause a problem, should it? Assuming you're running DS/IT? I can't use the standard M2, because it's supposed to be a captured vehicle, and the standard M2 kills all the enemies in the camp.... LOL... Unless there's a way to make it 'behave'.... And the texture called 'none'... I don't get that one at all.... I didn't modify this map / textureset at all. Matt, I'll tweak that bit about the invincibility setting. Good point. As for the mods, I made sure when I started that the only mods active were DS/IT/Frostbite/HX5. Those are standard mods for our clan. Halfway through, I backed off HX5 as well. I just deactivated Frostbite and loaded IGOR and the mission with no problems... so I'm going to go through the map elements and see what might be in there effect wise, etc. that's referencing Frostbite.

Matt03 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 If the other players don't have that vehicle file it will cause a crash. Just send the file out with the mission and it should work. Those effects won't be found because I don't think they exsist. That wouldn't be a problem anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liteluvr Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 But shouldn't the vehicle file already be on everyones machine, since it was in the MP1 folder tree? I mean, assuming they have DS (or is it IT) loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
