Title: Keeping the Balance
Post by: Kolgena on May 29, 2009, 12:53:03 am: I'm not sure what's wrong here. I start the mission, rip off all the cap beams from the Ravana and the Demon, and let my capships shoot them full of holes with beams. They die, yay.

At this point, 3 more shivan destroyers jump in, and my mission ends in a fail debriefing that says "no debriefing".

What's going on/how do I fix this?

Post by: General Battuta on May 29, 2009, 01:05:31 am: Wait, what?

Are you using the 3.6.10 version of Blue Planet...?
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: Kolgena on May 29, 2009, 01:18:42 am: Yeah.

I must have let a cap ship die somehow. I managed to beat that mission on very easy and cheating with super lasers on the second try (you can't kill both destroyers at the beginning too quickly or it breaks the mission) out of frustration.

Now I have a bigger problem. Mission 14:

Error: Invalid type "GTF Ulysses" found in loadout of mission file...skipping
File: parselo.cpp
Line: 2752

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Nm. Went into the mission file and deleted Ulysses, Artemis BH, and Medusa from the load-out. It now works. >.>

Edit2: I'm wondering whether it's something else that's breaking my game's usage of the Ulysses, Artemis, and Medusa. I needed to edit mission files for 14, and 17 through 20.

Post by: Kolgena on May 29, 2009, 08:14:22 pm: Yes.

Everything is playable as long as you delete the Uly, Artemis DH, and Medusa from the loadout of any mission that has them.

Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: General Battuta on May 29, 2009, 09:12:48 pm: Are they in their own folder, and not in your main FS2 directory? Because, while the Ulysses (and Medusa, I think) may not be part of BP, the Artemis is...
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: colecampbell666 on May 29, 2009, 09:21:26 pm: That's what I'm thinking. Select the 3.6.10RC2 debug build in the launcher, run it until the main hall, and then post /data/fs2_open.log.
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: Kolgena on May 29, 2009, 09:24:48 pm: The BP files are in their own folder.

And the Artemis works. It's the Artemis DH that doesn't work.

Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: General Battuta on May 29, 2009, 09:32:25 pm: Well, um, that's very peculiar, because the Artemis DH, Ulysses, and Medusa aren't in Blue Planet. They've been removed from the tables. Why would the game be looking for them in the loadout for these missions?

Might be why they don't work!

It looks like you're using a 3.6.11 build (or does that pop up on recent 3.6.10 debugs?) Could that have something to do with it...?

I've never seen this problem before.
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: Darius on May 29, 2009, 11:14:26 pm: I know what's happening.

Mission 14 is a scramble mission, which means I probably didn't tinker with the player loadout the first time I made the mission. At that stage those ships were in the tables and so the mission would have been loading them by default. The ships got deleted from the table, but the mission didn't get changed to reflect this. I'll put an updated version of the mission in.

Sounds like you're using a debug 3.6.10 build, since the retail one wouldn't come up with an error message for that.
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: General Battuta on May 29, 2009, 11:24:03 pm: Ah, yes - don't forget to select a normal build instead of a debug build in the launcher.

Darius, I can't get on IRC. It is irksome.
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: Kolgena on May 29, 2009, 11:52:27 pm: I thought I needed to use my debug build to get a spew, am I not correct?

I usually play on my regular build, which gave me the first error of "Invalid entry GTF Ulysses, dump call stack w/e"

Oh, and Darius, make sure you also fix missions 17->20 as well. They also don't work, but will if you delete the invalid ships from loadout.
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: General Battuta on May 29, 2009, 11:55:37 pm: You're correct, debug is good for spew generation.

This problem is, if I am not mistaken, a consequence of the move to a shared set of tables between Blue Planet and War in Heaven - a lot of unused ships were pulled from the old AoA tables in order to make room for the new stuff.

Post by: colecampbell666 on May 30, 2009, 11:31:49 am: You've got LightSpeedFS2 in /mediavps, which includes FS2 missions, and aren't needed with the MVPs 3.6.10. Delete that file. It may help.

Once again, they indeed are not needed with the 3.6.10 MediaVPs, but since that .vp contains only mission files that override the retail FS2 campaign missions, there is absolutely no way that it would affect Blue Planet.

Post by: colecampbell666 on May 30, 2009, 11:39:24 am: Yeah, but might as well remove it.
Title: Re: Keeping the Balance
Post by: Kolgena on May 30, 2009, 12:20:07 pm: Why? My game plays fine.

Again, the only thing that caused trouble for me was the invalid ships in load out. Otherwise, I was perfectly able to marathon the game in a few hours.

Indeed it shouldn't cause problems, but the harsh truth is that if the 3.6.10 MediaVPs are used, LightSpeedFS2.vp doesn't actually do anything.
