| Summary | 0000261: I am unable to change weapons for the wing the player is in. | ||||
| Description | It all said what the exact problem is. I use the newest Taylor's FRED build. The problem did not occur initially, I don't know what changed the mind of FRED. Anyone knows about this bug? | ||||
| Additional Information | I use the -fredhtl flag, I don't know if that counts. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

change weapons as in the briefing or in FRED? if you're using modded tables, try checking to see if the tables are correct. |
|
|
In FRED, I change the weapons for Alpha wing, and FRED remembers the changes I did until I run the mission. Then, the primary and secondary weapons for Alpha wing are set back to default. I used no modded tables. |
|
|
try setting the weapons individually as well. if this is part of a campaign, make sure the weapons have been allowed via the campaign editor or the allow-weapon sexps. |
|
|
The problem occured before I made the campaign file. How do you mean 'try setting the weapons individually?' |
|
|
I think per ship and not for the whole wing at once. |
|
|
I also tried it. No success so far. This attempt was made with an older FRED_O version. but I am sure it will not work with newer builds. [EDIT] I was mistaken in the second or first comment, I needn't run the mission, FRED forgets the primary and secondary weapon AFTER saving. Don't have a clue why. I remembered incorrectly when I said I had to run the mission. But what I wrote in this comment is confirmed to be exact. [EDIT2]More info: I tried this in a new mission. The problem disappeared, but with older missions, the bug persists. i guess the problem is with the format. The older and newer formats probably disturb each other. I am trying to use the Save As. [EDIT3]I was mistaken, Saving As did not work. [EDIT4]It seems this bug only applies for Alpha wing. edited on: 11-11-04 15:30 |

That I was able to fix(avoid) the problem doesn't mean you can just ignore it. |
|
|
Reminder sent to TopAce Is this still an issue, TopAce? |
|
|
Hey TopAce, was Alpha Wing a group of Lokis? I've found that trying to change the weapons on any Loki fighter resets back to standard loadout when you try to save. I figure I might as well report it here as looks like its related to this. |
|
|
I am having a simaler problem. I set the missile banks on Alpha and Beta wings to Tempest instead of Harpoons in FRED then when I run the mission they are set back to Harpoons. Alpha wing is a group of Lokis. Beta wing is a group of Ulysses. |
|
|
Ah, I see the problem here. "while (j-- && j>0)" should be "while (j-- && j>=0)" in MissionSave.cpp. It wasn't checking the first bank and skipping single banks completely. This affected primaries, secondaries and ballistic secondary ammo counts. |
|
|
Fixered. Tested fine for me but if it's still a problem please reopen this bug. |
