champaign not creating new missions

Post by matmaun » 2009-10-22 10:08:38

Hi all

been modding and doodling around in falcon for years. i got a champaign with all new units working fine in agean theater for of4.5+ but when i change the ownership of the objects and run the auto-flag function in taced, falcon creats one round of missions but once the ac have returned, it creats no more.

anyone got any good leads on where to start looking? is it a tri file thing, something in the settings of the objectives?

any leads would be greatly appreciated.

check if there are still planes, and if the Airbase is not destroyed.

The trigger file is setup for the original teams to go hostile against each other to achieve certain objectives identified in the trigger file (TRI file). Since you changed the ownership this may have affected how the trigger file is interacting with what objectives are now controlled by the "owning" team.

ok i doodled around with the tri file as best i could from my skimming through the tutorials etc, it started working - joy! then after a pc reboot it stopped working -nojoy.

BUT i noticed if i let the champaign run all of a sudden i could a see little planes on the map emerging from my squadron and carrying out missions even though my mission screen was still stuck in "planning...." mode with no selectable missions! has this happened to anyone else?

I now have a bare bones tri thats reads:

#TOTAL_EVENTS 1
#SET_TEMPO 150
#ENDINIT

#IF_CAMPAIGN_DAY G 30
#PLAY_MOVIE 115
#DO_EVENT 1
#END_GAME 1
#ENDIF

#ENDSCRIPT

I look forward to any wisdom anyone can impart

EDIT:
turns out the default champaigns were doing the same thing. reinstalled the theater, problem's gone :?
