Can't buy Osiris or APC on user maps :/

[Salvatoris]

I dropped in to a new map to test and noticed i couldn't buy an osiris.   I confirmed it on the other user maps.  I assume we need to replace the mechbay pre-fab.  I'll try that and report back.

edit... that did not correct it.  I am not sure what else could be affecting it other than the mechbay. 

Still not sure what this is, but it is limited to the Osiris and APC.

it seems as if you buy a osiris for your first mech on frostbite or any map it shows up half built.  not sure what is up with it.

[Salvatoris]

I reinstalled the mod, again deleting the original MWLL folder first.  Same results.  I tested it on all three machines here, and still no Osiris on Desolation, Palisades or Paradise.  Another thing I noticed is that the APC does not show up on the buy list in these custom maps at all.

I have seen a few people confirm the inability to purchase and Osiris on custom maps.  Is ANYONE actually able to spawn them?  So far this seems not to be limited to certain users.  Please test this and post your results here.  I was up working on this until about 5 AM and made zero progress. I am missing something, but I just don't know what.

I put a quick map together this morning and got the same results.  I was hoping that by starting a new map it would ensure i was running the most recent hangar prefab, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.  I did notice that if I extract the actual factory entity from the hangar prefab, and then in it's properties, if try to look at the text edit field for what to spawn, as soon as I mouse over it I get an "invalid argument encountered" error from the editor.   I can see that it says IS_Raven, but it wont even let me interact with the field to see if all mechs or the APC are listed.  Something is amiss there. :/

edit... I know it's a long-shot, but if i could just get my hands on the .cry files for one official map, I think i could find the issue, or at least the area of difference.

good luck figuring that one out.
sad that it's a new mech and not the long tom.
if it were the long tom, your maps would simply be artillery free.
Well, mostly, aside from LRM and Arrow IV Missles anyway ^^

I heard about this and checked one of my levels through my dedi server and I can buy an Osiris.



*scratches head as to why this is not working for some folks*

I think I heard old maps have to be re-exported from the editor with the new version of MWLL to get the new mechs

Do you mean use the SB2 command Export to Engine?

Yet up above in this thread, Salvatoris has created a new level and it seems to not be working for him.

Sal did you ever get this problem sovled after joining hte team? Cause it would put a hamper to my own efforts at a city map that has a fair amount of BA only areas :/

[Teafour]

Has anyone figured out what this is? Dev, Salv, Anyone?

[HH_Burner]

It Seems Salvatoris has stopped responding to common folk now that he is part of the Dev team.  Or maybe he is just too busy.

[ThunderHawk819]

Nope. I'm hoping that Sal comes up with new Maps for each one. Which will fix the problem for us. Cause I want to grab my Osiris.

[Salvatoris]

Unfortunately it is the client, and not the map.  Hopefully it will be fixed in the next update, there isn't anything I can do to the map itself to correct it between now and then.

[Teafour]

Thanks for sharing Salv. I suspected as such and was why I asked noting maybe a Dev could answer, which you now qualify as.     I'll stop sweating it on my map making as well then and continue onward.

[Salvatoris]

I believe I actually just found a fix for this.  I have to delete and replace all my hangars again, this time from newer code, and it seems to correct the problem.  I'll try to get updates ready for both my maps this weekend.
