Hello,
First of all, wonderfull work !

My first main question (or feature request) : is there a way to save/load progress in the dedicated server (using TADST) ?

I encountered some bugs, I was waiting to get more details on it but here it goes :
* Sometimes, it looks like nothing can be buy anymore (equipment or units) after a death and respawn (for example at the start base, blue side, on Stratis). It does not occur on the first death, it seems to be random. Tried to redie after it but it didn't solved the problem.
* Same as the first bug, maybe related, radio calls are not listed after some deaths (and with a radio equiped).
* It seems traits can't be mixed. For example, taking the medical tent add the "place medical tent" but after adding the sandbags traits, the "place medical tent" disappear (not sure about the name/denominations. I hope you get the idea).
* Still on traits, engineer trait doesn't seem to be adding the possibility to repairs vehicles (or I didn't get how to do it).
* Sometimes, after dying, units from team can be removed.

Anyway, that's a really great job. My only real disappointment was to not have find a way to save progress ><

@Drahull thx for your reply!

The game should save automatically your progress and next time you start the mission you need to select the "Load previous game from save" from mission parameters in the lobby
Hope that works for you, it was bit buggy before so if you have problems please let me know

Did you play in dedicated server or on your own PC?

Which mod are you playing with?

When you can't buy anything are you in base?

About the traits, did you scroll the mouse wheel maybe the options are there?

I will try to fix these problems but just need a bit more info

thx!

I am able to do it in local server (non-dedicated) but not when I am hosting with TADST.
I host on the same computer I play because I get better performances (like a lot: 10 fps -> 30 fps stable)

*AHAH forget all of this, I just retried and it seems to be working now.
No clue at what happened, either something changed (just got a error of mismatch between client <-> server, I'm fixing my server version now), either I was completly tired and brainless.*

None except FoW

yeah, even being near the poll

Yeah nothing in the scrolling list. It even disappears sometimes (after a death it seems) even if I don't pick another trait.

Thanks and no worries, I was waiting to have more details ( I know how it is ;-) ) but I didn't play these last weeks... I just reported it now because I saw your message in fact XD

@Drahull thx again, will try reproduce and fix those bugs :)

Some news about the issue where I'm not being able to buy.
It appears that when it happens (after respawn), I'm able to buy if I wait some random minutes.
1 time I had to wait around 5 minutes.
It seems the start base in Stratis is the one with the biggest problem. The North-East base only require to wait some seconds each time I tried (~10 times so not statistically reliable).

@Drahull Ok thanks for the new info, so it's lag that is causing it. will see what I can do :)

For the record this should be fixed now

When using RHS or CUP, I am unable to buy Infantry (the list is empty when I click on Infantry), but everything else can be bought.
GenCoder8  [developer] Mar 19, 2022 @ 12:48pm 
Try selecting the category NATO -> something else
hope that helps

I am unable to buy infantry even when near the starting HQ (nothing shows up in the list, and there are no other categories available besides the last selected category in ex; soft vehicles).
I am also unable to utilize the gear shop at all. All the boxes are blank except for the save/load/delete loadouts and other misc buttons; and it lists money as 0 even at the start or after earning more in the gear shop UI. It correctly shows money at the top for other menus or when running around.
Both of the above was tested in apex and RHS with the same problems and symptoms.

Thanks for the info. I don't yet know what is causing these problems as it works fine in my PC when testing
Which map are you playing on?

also could you post your .rpt file? you can paste the text to https://pastebin.com/

thx again, I'm really trying to figure this out

I was not expecting such a fast response :P

Since you are not experiencing this bug, I tried unloading mods that add in new weapons that are not natively supported that are in my .rpt modlist such as: Ace3 Arsenal Extended, Drongos, Tier One Weapons, Etc. Same issues as above.

Thanks to pastebin, the simple act of booting the game into a LAN FOW session on altis (I tested FOW on a dedicated server, just using lan for the .rpt). Using RHS generated a 900kb report, where pastebin only supports 512kb files. I've done my best to trim the rpt to relevant info while including any and all FOW info to get it to fit within the 512kb limit:
https://pastebin.com/WPANSQ30

These three links should show what I see in the GUI, unit buying, and gear shop. I'm curious if a custom FoV would break the image background as it shows in the third link?

thx for the reply!

Having .rpt of apex game would be better because it might be that I have outdated RHS and maybe you have newer so that's why it might not work

If you could try disabling all mods (except Field of war, of course) that might also solve the problem.

thx for the help on solving this! :)
Rain Twister Jun 15, 2022 @ 10:05am 
Apex had the same issues as RHS.
I disabled all mods except FOW and buying infantry worked for about 2 minutes then the options went blank, and I could not make it show up regardless of how many times I selected nato/nato pacific. The gear shop works however it is extremely laggy, which may be due to lan gameplay however I noticed extreme lag (20-30 seconds to click something) trying to select vehicle categories with my previous modlist on a dedicated server which ran the mission quite well imo.

Hmm that is very peculiar situation that you have. Mind if I ask what CPU you have?
The scripts run by this mission can be quite heavy though I don't get lags like that. but I have good CPU

Well if buying and gear started working then one problem must be incompatible mods?
