Siggi 10 Posted March 29, 2009 I did a pilot transfer, following other chaps' procedures, but I've busted something, so any help from a dev would be appreciated (but if ignored understandable). I stupidly forgot to back-up the original file before modifying it. I deleted all the old chaps in my flight and pasted in the new ones from the new Jasta. I now get this error message when firing up the campaign (can still fly, still get wingmen, but in the briefing there is nada for me or them): DutyRosterErrors: GNumAcesOnDuty 3 OnDutyCheck:4 C=3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon the error message points at a historic incompatibility. Course, that could be bollocks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon the error message points at a historic incompatibility. Course, that could be bollocks! I already tried reducing the number of pilots, but my pilot then failed to load at all. None of the aces are listed in the Dossier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 29, 2009 Have you checked all the pilot data? There might be some elsewere (forgot the name - pilot.xml or uisel something). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siggi 10 Posted March 29, 2009 Have you checked all the pilot data? There might be some elsewere (forgot the name - pilot.xml or uisel something). I'm trying to work out what each line in the Dossier represents, and it's a bit like trying to de-code something typed on an Enigma. I'm using a test-file to make changes and see what changes in-game. Some make no change to the in-game log at all, which leads me to think that some of the values are cross-referenced with other files. I've been unable so far (for example) to find the line that dictates hours flown (thinking I might make a completely new pilot and modify his file to reflect the old one). There's a default pilot file, which looks like it has all the values for a stock CFS3 pilot, but they're jumbled up in a different order to the OFF file. The hours flown are shown as seperate lines for hours and minutes, but I can find no correlation in the OFF file. I'm able to make the error message change in terms of it's numbers, but not in any way that makes sense. It's starting to look like Rutger is about to go down with a terminal case of shell-shock induced lunacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 103 Posted March 29, 2009 Siggi, have you tried throwing down some chicken bones and chanting, "Dou Boo Aw Sow Voodoo Oh"? Or if Catholic, perhaps an exorcism is in order. Just a thought. Cheers! Lou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siggi 10 Posted March 29, 2009 Siggi, have you tried throwing down some chicken bones and chanting, "Dou Boo Aw Sow Voodoo Oh"? Or if Catholic, perhaps an exorcism is in order. Just a thought. Cheers! Lou Funny you should mention that. I have over nine real-time hours on this pilot, which is why I'm loathe to lose him in such a way. So I'm thinking of deploying some of your voodoo magic and resurrecting an old zero-kill pilot who has the hours. But it won't feel the same. Why the hell I didn't back-up the file before messing with it I don't know. Too many hours working on other peoples' PCs and servers I think, it's scrambled my common sense.

Olham 164 Posted March 29, 2009 No, we all mess around sometimes. I even regularly, when trying to win the war single handed, and save every flight member personally. You have compared the pilot file with other intact files? Or you could make a new transfer with another pilot, (after saving his data), and see, what it needs?

I've compared multiple dossiers to try and make sense of the entries, tried transfering Rutger back to the original Jasta, to see if that would fix everything by over-writing a file somewhere, all no joy.

Siggi 10 Posted March 29, 2009 Sod it, had enough of that, deleted the lot. I'm going RFC again, think I'll start a 1917 chap, had enough of shonky planes too. So, Camel or Se5...? Home defence Sq I think, so I can build up some realistic hours without kills... :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 29, 2009 Take the S.E.5a then - a solid, reliable plane; even when you fly her tired or half drunk. Have fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siggi 10 Posted March 29, 2009 RFC-56 April 1917 starts at England. Join the RFC-56 fans (or fanatics? ) Siggi :yes:. I did exactly that. Just got done with a two-hour+ flight, taking in the sights. I did London, then down to the south coast and took in Beachy Head (where's the bloody chalk?), Eastbourne (where's the bloody pier?), Bexhill, Hastings (another robbed pier. Oi!) and the white cliffs of Dover (did they steal the chalk from Beachy Head?). Luvvly jubbly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 29, 2009 I only know the pier of Brighton (I think it was). My neighbour has made a flight through Germany, and even found the Berliner Tor (Berlin gate?) with the 4 horses on it. Wonder, how he got refueled? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I crossed the channel from St-Pol-Sur-Mer with an N17 2 days ago after configuring my freetrack. Wanted to enjoy the 6 degrees of freedom by sightseeing. I got near the cliffs of Dover, but it seems that I crashed onto them, while making a fly by at 300 yard distance.... Edited March 29, 2009 by Gous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Rawlings 150 Posted March 29, 2009 Jeez, if you damn Europeans didn't get up so early! For future reference, you may want to try creating a new pilot in the squad you transferred into on the same day your messed up pilot is on. Then copy squad data from the good to the bad and see if that works. I always keep the same squad members; I guess we all transfer together :p That does seem to avoid most of the weirdness!
