Huh? Why shouldn't we be allowed to name a wing Zeta? |
|

Naming a wing Zeta in multiplayer coop causes FS2 to crash at loading. Has always been the case. I found this back in the old PXO days. Even had it stickied on the VBB. I think V wrote something so that Zeta was special and could only be used for TvT. I don't have an example of my own but will attach a mission written by ShivanSPS that has the problem. It results in a parsing error with this file contains illegal data. Opening the file in notepad and doing a mass replace of Zeta with Ztest fixes problem. |

That's bizarre. Does this still happen with 3.6.9? |
|
|
Yes that is with 3.6.9 fred2 and 3.6.9 FS2. |
|
|
Can you paste the exact error message? |
|
|
Exact text of message window: There was an error parsing the mission file. This file contains illegal data. |
|
|
O RLY? I couldn't find that error message in FSO, FRED, or FS2 retail. Are you sure it's a FS2 bug? |
|
|
Yes it pops up in a message window while the mission is loading. I think it's right after the second block of the loading status bar. Closing the window completes mission loading but exits back to server list. Error occurred in retail as well as 3.6.9 final. I tired to do a screen shot but apparently it doesn't work at that stage of mission loading. Just tried it in debug mode. Same error. Top left hand corner of the screen shows ** starting game_level_init() ** when the message window pops up. |

Forgot about just using a regular screen capture. Print screen uploaded. That pic is the one from 3.6.9 final. |
