"3.6.10 Final V"? What was that? There were Release Candidates 1-3, one build based off of RC3 that had some multiplayer fixes that came out a few days before the final build was released, and the Final build itself. You said you were using 3.6.11r, was that just a typo?

Having a separate locked release thread is handy because we can keep it neat and not 42 pages long. Unfortunately this thread was the original release thread, so all existing posts link here first. It's only one extra click though! It also does point out to people where the discussion thread is.

HEY!

Anyone reporting a bug in "A Lion at the Door", you have forgotten that there are 2 training missions between "The Romans Blunder" and "A Lion at the Door".

The Argo is in Training 4.

Yes I was using a 3.6.11r build back when I played it the first time, now I'm using 3.6.10 final.

Checked with Antripodes2, checked with r5541, checked with 3.6.10 final again.

Deleted the patch, reinstaled, I keep getting the same.

I checked the mission itself, the one that comes with the patch and it seems to be ok... still the messages from my wingman do not play, no VA, no lines, just command replaying to a non-existent wingman.

I'm clueless here.. don't know if it's a build or a mvp issue please someone else unpack the mission and test?
mission: sm1-04 "a lion at the door"

[Rodo]

well damn me... if I replace the <any wingman> flag from the dialogue lines and replace them with Alpha 2 the messages play just fine.... then this must be a build issue I guess.

sorry for the double post.

[The E]

Yep, confirmed. Still, strange that. And no, it's not a build issue, as the same mission on retail data with the same build plays all messages just fine.

[Aardwolf]

I've got the same bug.

[The E]

It's really, really strange. The retail mission, with mediavps data, works just fine. So I loaded the retail mission in FRED, imported the backgrounds from the mediavps mission, and here we are. Another fixed bug. Although I have no bloody clue as to what caused the error.
So, download the attached mission, put it in mediavps\data\missions, and test if it works for you. If it doesn't, create a new pilot, try again. If that doesn't work, scream at me.

It's really, really strange.

Could be something regarding the patch (not the hole patch just the mission) not overriding the original released file?
As far as I see the mission is fine, so there's no problem there, I'm not so sure about how the game knows which vp to load each time but might be the cause.

[The E]

The load order should be correct (if you aren't sure, run a debug build and post the log), provided you haven't renamed it. If it loads before the other mediavps vps, it should override all the others.
HOWEVER, it seems the version in the patch suffers from the same issue. Can you test if the mission I uploaded works?

[Rodo]

Can you test if the mission I uploaded works?

will do and report back in a couple of hours.

[Rodo]

you are missing the the skybox, the carthage's nameplate, and the shivan bombers are firing ciclops.

that's all I could find so far.

[The E]

Well....Ok. Those were things i missed, granted. But did the Sound play?

[Rodo]

Well....Ok. Those were things i missed, granted. But did the Sound play?

yes, that worked just fine.

I was playing "A Flaming Sword," where the Knossos is destroyed by meson bombs, and the two wings of Maras you're supposed to lure back to the Renenant have been changed to Astaroths. It wouldn't really matter, except that the dialogue still refers to them as Maras. Also, around 8:30 when Lambda 2 and 3 are delivering their bombs, Pisces wing shows up asleep at the wheel, flying slowly in straight lines, only evading if I attack them, and never attacking anything.

[Qent]

They were, in fact, Astaroths in Retail FS2. I don't know about Pisces though.

[Thaeris]

Maras being called Astaroths? Sounds like Allied forces in WWII calling any Japanese fighter a "Zero."

[Droid803]

More like Astaroths being called Maras.

More like Astaroths being called Maras.

's good.

has made such mistakes elsewhere, too.  For example, in the second mission Alpha 2 warns everyone to "stay focused on those Lokis" even though none have arrived yet.
