You won't believe it, but I seem to have found this mission-failed-despite-success bug

In the mission, on the left side on the list where you see what to do, the color of the primary targets (to protect the Malvolence and Marco Polo) turn blue which normally means accomplihed.

BUT

When you press F4 to see the mission details, you see this, even after the transports jumped out with the corvettes and the Marco Polo tells you to do the same.

The primary objectives, protecting the Malvolence and Marco Polo are still active and their status doesn't change. So the mission can't be accomplished successful, since I jump out "too early"

hi,
the missions are in a vp?
mhh strange, that version that i have is the missions seperate and the modificated root_fs2.vp
if that missions are in a vp, have you a link to this version?

yes is mission 50 and turalyon discripe the mission "Massnahmen", as this.

i have a question: any attemp to rebalancing any missions?
some missions are really really hard.

@turalyon: yes sometimes i have in the debriefings: mission failed, too.
but the missions was succesful and i had can play the next missions.

that's strange, i only have 37 RFC missions, the rest are retail FS2 missions.

[Turalyon]

I have 91 files from Revenge, 88 of them mission files, 3 of them are the chapter files.

If you want, I can send you these files.

PS.

Here is a part of the mission file, regarding the targets: the words after the // are my own, not in the file

#Goals      ;! 3 total

Would it help to finish that mission when I change the "primary" to "secondary" for the Protect Objectives and the "secondary" to "primary" for the Recover target?

[Cobra]

no, because then it would screw up the mission and make it no fun when it's fixed.

uh, karajorma? the VP you gave me has only the retail missions, i just bothered to look at the missions.

Turaylon, post the full campaign. post the entire download.

oh, and help us translate it.

[EDIT] I think i see the problem. the goal SEXPs shouldn't be not-destroyed, that always causes problems. PM me with the full storyline of Massnahmen.

I just had this mission. It's called "Massnahmen" in german (would be "Measures" in english). You disable both Corvettes, the transports jump in, dock with the corvettes, jump out a second later, mission says "successful", Marco Polo says "Jump out, mission accomplished", the mission debriefing says "Well done, we got them, thanks to you" but upon clicking done you have the choices between "Back to debriefing", "To Flightdeck" and "Repeat mission".

yeah, there's definitely a mis-used goal SEXP in the debriefing. once you post the vp for me i can take a look.

[karajorma]

that's strange, i only have 37 RFC missions, the rest are retail FS2 missions.

It's possible the version you got from me is different from the versions the others are using. I have no recollection of where I got my version from.

EDIT : I suspect it's the renamed, altered  root_fs2.vp that was packaged with the campaign. In that case the missions are probably lurking in the data folder on my HD. Catch me on IM and I'll send them over.

EDIT 2 : The problem is not the is-destroyed SEXP. It's the time elapsed. If the player leaves the mission before 20 minutes the game will say that he has failed the goals. You shouldn't ever use time-elapsed in this way. The goals should be linked to an event that comes true when the mission is complete.

I did wait 20 minutes. When the transports jumped out the mission was approx 6 minutes old. The Malovolence and Marco Polo had a 17 minute trip to a waypoint where they just stopped their engines and sat there.

The mission as still failed :-(

Revenge - German Version. All you english folk out there, beware the language  

What would I have to translate? Just the text? PM me

[Cobra]

well, you can translate what you want to. just pick a mission (or all 84, your choice ) and go to town.

[karajorma]

Here's a fixed version of mission 50. Someone posted an error a couple of years ago and I fixed it for them. I don't remember anything about it beyond that.

Thx. I start translating

Lets see how long it'll take to finish translating all missions ^^

[Turalyon]

Ok, I finished the first mission. Could you do me a favour and have a look at it? Just play it if possible so I can see if there's something missing

I'm heading to bed now. See ya tomorrow.

[Cobra]

excellent work, Turaylon. The only thing wrong was a few grammar errors that i just fixed.

i tried to test the goddamn thing and i got this:

Error: Cannot load mission -- wing Lambda -- ship  not present in #Objects section (or specified multiple times in wing.

File:\fs2_open\code\mission\missionparse.cpp

What the...

I only changed the text in the " " nothing else. Maybe I forgot a " anywere °_°

Edit: Just checked, didn't forget anything. And in the objects section, there are all 3 Lambdas present.

[Deepstar]

Oh, nice, a bugfinding Thread

Maybe i find here a few bugs, there i haven't noticed yet, good work

To the Translation... the Translation is still in Progress (additional i haven't Internet @home atm.), i have no problem, when you translate the missions.
I add a few SCP features to the Campaign (new Nebulas/Planets/Weapon Effects and different (SCP)SEXPs in the Missions to fix a few problems or simply to speed up the mission, but then i don't need to translate the rest


But i must say, i'm impressed of all these Revenge Threads

[Turalyon]

@Deepstar, check the other thread concerning the translation. I already finished quite a few missions ^^
