OK- I was hoping someone could tell me where the squad names that are in missions are referenced for online play. I have missions where Italian and Russian squads show up fine offline and the pilot wavs work great...but when you go online, the squad names in the missions show up as German and American default names instead...although the pilot wavs still are in Italian and Russian. Any help will help the release along- we hope to have it fixed and out by Friday....thanks!

This is important, guys. If this bug can't get squashed by friday, then because of schedules it may have to be delayed another TWO WEEKS, so if you know anything that could help, please speak up.

Jeeves see my email to the onelist. I think I may have isolated the problem.

spin-

I edited the squadron ppf's as per your directions, but in the lobby there were still no Italian or Soviet squadron names from the list that you pick from in the lobby- only the default German and American. Where does the game reference where these names come from in an online game? Offline- the correct squad names show up, but as soon as we go online- they aren't there (EXCEPT for Japan which does have the correct squad names...like the Akagi Air Group. I am getting very frustrated with this- the file adds so much to the experience of flying- but all comes to a stop because of this one little flub...even flying online, the real Italian and Soviet voices are there- but you just don't show as flying in a Italian or Soviet squadron...grr...

Seems like some serious glitch. Are sure you have deleted all other Nations related files from your media folder and only use the files which are in the Nations beta? I can't think of anything else right now.

Poodle- the only thing I kept from my original files is the stringtable because it has France and Australia on it. But this isn't it because Tailslide and Zoy noticed the problem as well and they don't have these original files like I do. I have exhausted every avenue here... since Japan does work- I've been looking for discrepancies between Japan and the Italy and SU files- but am at a loss to find any. I think MH or Mighty might be the only ones who can help here...

Jeeves,

I tested this last night in the Network section and I saw the squadrons in question. They also appeared in the game as expected. I did not see British or German Squadrons, I saw Russian and Japanese.

They worked fine for me.

I would suggest you create a new mission with the new squadron files in question and test it. When I fixed the squads, the first time I ran the original mission I made, it didn't work, then I saved the same mission with the new squad names (they came up by themselves as the new names) it still didn't work (this is probably because the squad # didn't change so the mission editor didn't rewrite or change that part of the file). So I created a new mission form scratch and it worked. I can send you one later today that worked fine.

If this doesn't work perhaps putting the stringtable.ppf file that you included with the demo version in the media folder will work.

Spin-

Well I mus admit- when I did the changes- all I did was take the original mission and change the squad names and saved...when I get home, I will create a new one and see if it works...if it does I'll let Werner know what to do and he'll have it up by Friday before he leaves (hopefully!)--I hope this squashes it...eager to get home and try

heya Spin... one question! In the Italy squads, there are no dashes or commas and such in the names- so what did you change there to mmake them show up? Thanks...

Jeeves - email received. I will try to have a release packaged and online by tomorrow night. Once it's online I'll shout from every rooftop and ring every bell - BCATP mailing list, forum announcements, etc. I also received an email from Poodle tonight, and saw it was addressed to you, me and zoy. I keep getting mail sent from me to zoy bounced, so would you mind passing that FYI I sent to you on to Zoy? You'll understand when you check your mail.

Great, Great, Great. Looking forward to it.

I think Zoycite is still having trouble with his server. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Good work guys.
