a mission-and a bug!(BlackSix please have a look)

[David198502]

hey guys!
today i have made a mission, with a race track on one of the smaller dogfights map.its challenging funny and really satisfying once you have mastered the whole track...

anyway, i wanted to record my flight, and after i have completed the course successfully, i watched the track i made with the ingame video tool.

to my big disappointment i saw, that many objects were suddenly placed wrong in the record, and half of them were just gone.

then later, some of my squadmates and me, wanted to fly that mission online.
i was hosting the mission in the lobby, and we started to fly...suddenly i saw one of my squadmates flying through one of the objects without crashing into it(a hangar). i asked him if he recognized that he just flew through it, and he answered:" what hangar?"
he didnt see the hangar at all, and for everyone except me as the host, half of the objects on the map were invisible.some lost its collision model(the hangars) and some kept it(lightinghouses)...they were invisible for my mates, but they could crash into them!!

i then sent the mission to my buddies, and they told me, that offline all the objects were visible for them...
then we tried that someone else is the host, and then for me half of the objects were gone on the map..
and the surprising thing, it were the exact same objects missing, which were missing in my recorded video as well.


so please devs, have a look at this, because even if the mission is really funny alone offline, i want to fly it together with my mates.

here is the mission:
for you devs to increase your workload, and for all the others to have some fun with it...at least offline

ok with fraps, the vid shows at least all the objects and therefore the complete track...

What about their settings? Did you compare settings?

Also did you run it as a dedi or lobby? It would be interesting to see if there is any effect there. (yes I am aware there are no true dedi server files yet)

[David198502]

yes we did compare settings...all had for example buildings amount on max...
i run it in the lobby...and for them, the exact same buildings/objects were missing, which were missing in the track i made with the ingame video tool...

[5./JG27.Farber]

Interesting. What if it could be effected by another setting? Did you compare the other settings?

I wonder if only certain statics are effected?

I wonder if only certain statics are effected? Wait, isnt the light house a named lighthouse? Beachey head light house or something? Maybe some objects will only support one, ment fro the actuall map and not FMB? Maybe others are more generic and ment for the fmb?

Try it with a different object like english radar 2

That's exactly some of the online.MP bugs I've been reporting for ages. See http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=32979 Hope dev's adress the MP issues soon.

i know salmo,...ive posted in your thread with a link to this thread

its a serious and annoying bug, especially if you build a mission for hours, only to hear that other people cant see the objects

Thanks David, I'll give those settings a try, I read another post of yours that mentioned the fighterstick awhile ago, thanks again, Jay
