Title: Big time lan multiplayer mission problem
Post by: Rysumm on 27 Jun 2004, 19:28:34
Hmmmm...... where to start.  Alright I need troubleshooters here. I created a mission and I have about six friends that I  get together with and lan. What I do is copy all my files from my Operation Flashpoint folder so that all the cpu's have the same addons etc..... Now that we all have the same downloads same version of ofp and everything else. I try to host the game.

As soon as every one has joined and is ready to go, I select ok. Then my ofp just crashes. Now this only happens with my mission. Not the BAS missions etc.... The only thing I have done different to my mission, that could have caused this, was change the terrain detail and visibility with a benchmark trigger.

Now the other screwed up thing here, is that I can get this mission to lan with a single cpu but not multiple. But like I said other missions are fine.   Everyone has the exact same version and addons etc....
 
Thanks in advance to anyone may be able to figure this out.

do you really need to make two topics?

most likely thing to cause a crash immediately on launch of the game is:

incorrect listings of addons in the mission.sqm
or a mission.sqm error
(the description.ext has already run at that point)

If the mission crashes after say half a second or so, then you are probably best looking for the problem in the init.sqs

hope that helps

best way to debug is place a 10 second wait at the very start of the init.sqs


eg


~10
hint "Init.sqs running"

that should identify which script  the bug is in

If you never see the hint, then its the mission.sqm thats at fault
