| Summary | 0002811: $Default Campaign File Name: in game_settings.tbl not working | ||||
| Description | Pretty much what the title says. Table is parsed but the default campaign is set to the first one in alphabetical order on the list. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create a simple game_settings.tbl with #CAMPAIGN SETTINGS $Default Campaign File Name: <something> #end Replace <something> with something that isn't freespace2.fc2 or the first campaign (name not .fc2 file) you have in alphabetical order. I suggest doing the wrong thing and actually putting the .fc2 extension so you hit the mprintf and get a log entry. Create a new pilot, go to the campaign room, not the currently selected campaign is not the one you specified. | ||||

Could not reproduce this in this way. BtA currently has 2 campaigns. 'Mefistofele' and 'Slaves of Chaos'. SoC is the $Default Campaign, but is second alphabetically. However, upon creating a new pilot SoC is selected as the default campaign. To note, we have the Freespace2 campaign ignored in BtA, but I get no errors or messages saying that it couldn't be found or hinting that FSO was trying to find it. |
|
|
I can't reproduce either using the following game_settings.tbl with ST:R. #CAMPAIGN SETTINGS $Default Campaign File Name: SilentThreat.fc2 (or str.fc2) #Ignored Campaign File Names $Campaign File Name: freespace2.fc2 #end Can you provide any more information on how to reproduce this issue? |
|
|
Retested, this time removing the #Ignored Campaigns section. That does it. Apparently having Freespace2.fc2 as the default campaign is overriding any $Default Campaign table setting. |
|
|
Well since TBP has no freespace2.fc2 file that should not be the issue here. I am getting a different default campaign in another test directory so alphabetical does seem to be ruled out. |
|
|
We need more information then, bud. My tests with 'Freespace 2', 'Mefistofele', and 'Slaves of Chaos' campaigns - (freespace2.fc2, bta_1.fc2, and bta_1d.fc2 respectively.) 1) $Default is SoC, none ignored. FS2 was the default. 2) $Default is SoC, FS2 ignored. SoC was the default. 3) $Default is Mef, FS2 ignored. Mef was the default. 4) 'Slaves of Chaos' renamed to 'ASlaves of Chaos' and 'Mefistofele' renamed to 'AMefistofele'. $Default is ASoC, none ignored. FS2 was the default. 5) 'Slaves of Chaos' renamed to 'ASlaves of Chaos' and 'Mefistofele' renamed to 'AMefistofele'. $Default is ASoC, FS2 ignored. ASoC was the default. |

I'll set up a TBP folder and try this myself tomorrow. |
|
|
You were both right actually. Any new pilot was set to have Freespace2 as the default. If that didn't exist, you'd get the first alphabetical campaign. But campaign names are sorted, not campaign file names and anything with The in the name is advanced to the next word. |

Fix committed to trunk@9602. |
