Title: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: CT27 on September 30, 2017, 09:06:58 pm
Unfortunately, I ran into another technical issue:

In your 'branch' campaign, on the ISF path, on "Irkalla Passes"...after the Shivan forces leave, most of the ISF force goes through the node but then the ISF Mentu cruiser just goes in the node and sits there (like the corvettes did on that GTVA path issue I had earlier).  So I can't seem to complete the mission on this path either right now.


I got this message:

I've never had that happen, and I can't see what in the mission could have caused it.  It's possible the navigation subsystem was destroyed, but there are sexps that should guard against that.  Make another attempt (might as well download the update first, see below) and see if it happens again.

I've fixed that and uploaded a new scroll-root, but that's benign and shouldn't affect anything.

Thanks.  That confirms you received the fixed mission, so the loadout error was probably caused by FSO not updating the cache.

I'm sorry to report I tried it again after doing the update and the problem is still there.  The GVC Khitteb moves to the node and when it gets in there it just sits there and never jumps out (I checked its NAV subsystem to see if that had got to 0% but it was healthy.  The GTC Pallas jumped out before it but the ISF AWACS ship jumps out after the Khitteb (in fact the AWACS ran into the Khitteb and pushed it forward a little before the AWACS jumped out).

Since the Khitteb doesn't jump out, the Himoltep and Halifax end up not moving toward the node either.  I tried jumping out myself to see what would happen, and I got the usual debriefing text and "We have no recommendations for you" but it said I couldn't advance since I failed the mission.


I tried to do a debug build again to get a log but got this now:

However, this time I was also able to get the mission itself.  A log is attached.
I don't know if it will help but I've also attached the mission "Irkalla Passes".  Maybe something went wrong with my copy.  Better to give you a little too much rather than you say I didn't give you enough info (better safe than sorry) right?

I still can't reproduce this.  But I made another update that separates the waypoints for the individual ISF ships.  This should prevent any possibility of them interfering with one another.

As I said before, this is expected.  It is an unavoidable consequence of the fact that this is the mission where two separate branches of the campaign merge together.

Yup.  But try the new update and see if it helps at all.
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: CT27 on October 02, 2017, 09:00:01 pm
Well, I tried your new update.  The ISF ships don't bump into each other anymore but the Mentu class Khitteb still  gets in the node and just stops (its "Time to" clock gets to zero and then its speed goes to zero).  Like before since it doesn't go the Hilmotep and Halifax don't move either after the Irkalla leaves.

I do appreciate all the help you've given on this (and I'll try and get you another debug log tomorrow).



At least I got to see the ending with the GTVA branch (so I know what the final mission is like...and I kind of prefer the GTVA one anyway).
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: Goober5000 on October 02, 2017, 09:38:26 pm
Hmm.  Tell you what, play the mission again, wait till the Khitteb gets to the node and stops, then ~K the Khitteb.  Then the mission should complete normally, allowing you to proceed.  After you've gone on to the next mission, tell me whether the Khitteb shows up or not.  This will determine whether the problem is due to the event not firing (Khitteb won't show up in m2_02), or the event firing but the Khitteb not being able to depart for whatever reason (Khitteb will show up in m2_02).

Also, after you've completed the mission, look in AppData/HLP/scroll/data/scripts and upload the m2_01_to_m2_02 checkpoint file.

By the way, if you haven't replayed m2_02 in a while, you're in for a treat.  I decided m2_02 was too underwhelming with all of the escort warships destroyed, so I turned off the persistent events and gave them all new names.

EDIT:

At least I got to see the ending with the GTVA branch (so I know what the final mission is like...and I kind of prefer the GTVA one anyway).

Why do you prefer the GVTA one?  The final mission, The Tablet of Destinies, is the same in both cases, unless you are comparing one playthrough before I removed the persistent ships to another one after.  Or are you referring to the conversations in Irkalla Passes that only happen if you come from the GVTA branch?

EDIT2: When you say the Khitteb's navigation is "healthy", is it above 30%?
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: CT27 on October 02, 2017, 09:56:23 pm
I'll try your technical advice later but to answer your questions:

-When I said I liked the GTVA's branch overall more, I mean the whole GTVA path after the branch point selection.  I wasn't just referring to the final two missions both sides get.  The ISF path (aside from the technical difficulties I'm having) was excellently designed, I just liked the GTVA path missions better.  Admittedly I could have worded that better, I meant to say I enjoyed the GTVA path a bit more (not the GTVA "ending"...since both paths have the same ending).  Does that kind of clear it up?


-As for the Khitteb's nav system, it was at 71% or 81% (I don't remember the exact number now but it was a high number)

Just now I tried the mission again to try your suggestion, and it's probably me not understanding your suggestion right...but nothing happened.


After the Khitteb got to the node and stopped, I tried your button combination suggestion but nothing happened.
I tried pressing "~" and then "K" but nothing happened (and the same occurred when I pressed both buttons at the same time).  FYI I had the Khitteb targeted while I tried both combinations.

Am I doing something wrong?
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: CT27 on October 03, 2017, 12:39:38 am
Never mind, I figured it out.


I completed the campaign.  In "Irkalla Passes", I did your suggestion on the Khitteb and then the Halifax and Hilmotep jumped out and I was able to complete the mission.


In the final mission of the campaign ("Tablet Of Destinies"), the Khitteb did show up and came in at 63% (I can't remember if that's the exact health of the ship when I did `K on it in the previous mission though).


Unfortunately I couldn't do your final suggestion.  When I looked in AppData/HLP, I had no "Scroll" folder there.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help in that particular area.

When I looked in AppData/HLP, I had no "Scroll" folder there.
To be clear, you're looking in %APPDATA%\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\ and the folder exists and contains things (including fs2_open.ini), just not a \scroll\ folder?
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: Goober5000 on October 03, 2017, 10:25:11 am
I omitted some steps that I thought could be inferred from the context.  A prerequisite to ~K is enabling cheat codes.  And as AdmiralRalwood noted, there are more folders in the AppData path.  The full path you should look in is:

%APPDATA%\Roaming\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\scroll\data\scripts

Your experience tells me that the departure conditions fired successfully, but the Khitteb for whatever reason refused to jump.  Normally this can only happen if it is disabled, has 0% nav, or has the no-subspace-drive flag.  But none of these circumstances apply, so I'm rather perplexed.  I'll be interested to see what the checkpoint file might contain.

%APPDATA%\Roaming\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\scroll\data\scripts
%APPDATA% includes the \Roaming\ part.

You're right, I just tried it.  I stand corrected.
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: CT27 on October 03, 2017, 02:55:33 pm
I looked just now and there was no "scroll" folder.  The "Roaming" folder is usually 'hidden' so I had to type in "%appdata%" in the search programs section of the start menu.

I looked in "AppData/Roaming/HardLightProductions/FreespaceOpen"  and there was no folder called "scroll" there.


EDIT:  I just thought of something.  I'm playing on 3.8.0 (64bit) and in "Advanced Settings" under "Launcher" I have "Store config in portable location" checked.  Could that be why "Scroll" isn't in the location you guys have mentioned?  I was told a while ago to check that if I wanted my pilot files to be kept in the usual location (Games/Freespace2/data/players).
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: Goober5000 on October 04, 2017, 11:53:56 am
Oh, in that case, yes.  Look in Games/Freespace2/scroll/data/scripts.

I found the file you were asking about (m2_01_to_m2_02) in the correct location. 

I clicked "Attachments and other options" and added it but when I clicked 'post' it wouldn't let me post it.  It said this type of file extension wasn't supported.

When I was in Games/Freespace2/scroll/data/scripts, it said the type of this file was literally "file".  So unfortunately, I'm not sure how to get this to you now since this site won't let me add it as an attachment.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, I'm stumped.  The subsystem strengths were fine, according to the checkpoint save file.  The departure cue fired, as evidenced by the fact that the Khitteb actually has an entry in the file.  The ship should have departed.

One thing I can do is explicitly make the ship warp out using an ai-warp-out goal.  This change will be in the next update.

Good news and bad news.

Good-I tried this path of the campaign again and the Khitteb jumps out.

Bad-Now the Pallas is the one that just sits there.

Are you using the latest version?  Are you using the version from the FSO Installer or from Knossos?

Also try using this version of the mission:

I used the version on the Installer.  It said 1.4. 

Also FYI, this was playing on the secondary campaign file provided (that starts at the path split point) on the ISF path.

Post by: CT27 on September 12, 2019, 10:04:59 pm
Also, I went in the tech room and used Ctrl-Shift-S to see all missions to try and test what you gave me out.  However, there's only the GTVA path mission of "Irkalla Passes" available.


FYI, I remember when I first beat this campaign a couple years ago, the GTVA path of "Irkalla Passes" worked fine...it's only the ISF path version that has this trouble for me.  Honestly, I like the GTVA path a little better so if you can't get the ISF path fixed it's not a huge problem.  I do appreciate the effort you're putting into this though.  Thanks.

I guess it only lists the missions in the first fork.  But that shouldn't matter because "Irkalla Passes" is a single mission that is used, with only minor changes, for both branches.  Just plop it into scroll/data/missions, restart the game, and then resume the campaign in the Ready Room.

You're welcome.  I must say, though, it's a mystery why those ships don't all jump out.  The mission is almost entirely the same regardless of which path you come from.  It works for me and I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem.
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: CT27 on September 13, 2019, 08:52:06 pm
It worked!

I played through the ISF branch (using the decision point campaign file) and the GTVA branch (on my main pilot for this campaign) and in both all ships jumped out okay. 


Whatever you did, thanks! :)
Title: Re: debugging Irkalla Passes for CT27
Post by: Goober5000 on September 13, 2019, 09:26:16 pm
You're welcome. :)

I did two things, actually.  I removed the departure cues from those ships, and I cleared their goals just before they were supposed to depart.

Would you mind doing some additional testing for me?  I attached two more versions of that mission, each with a just one of the two modifications.  Could you test both of these and tell me which version fixes the problem?

Note: Remember to rename the files to sa_m2_01.fs2 when you do your tests so that the game properly loads it as part of the campaign!

"Clear Goals" works and all ships were able to jump out.

(I will test the other one later but I just wanted to post this while it's still fresh in my mind)


EDIT:  I just tested "Removed Cues".  It's not perfect but it works.  What I mean is all ships except the Halifax jumped out.  However, since you get the 'save Halifax' secondary objective before it jumps out Command told me I saved it in the debriefing.  So this version of the mission isn't technically perfect but it still works kind of and I was able to progress.

EDIT2:  Just to be sure, I tried the mission file that had both fixes in it again (the download link you gave a few posts ago before this recent one with two files), and it still worked fine with all ships jumping out.  I think I'll keep that one in place for now if that's okay.

That's ... strange.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this.  And none of the changes I made affected the Halifax in any way.

However, I'll include these changes in the next version of Scroll, so that anyone who may have had your problem but didn't post will still be able to play.
