Met_MW10_Patrol is one of the infamous 'runner' missions.

One of the AI ships makes a beeline for the border before it comes back around and fights.

I think it needs to go.  No one wants to chase AI all over...

I wish that I had actually taken the screenshot of that one...

Hexx was on the server last night.  After one mission, Hexx was gone, and in the news was, in red:
"Lyran ambassador was killed in hex 23,4"

Could these 2 facts be coincidence? :)

Unsure about this one:  Engaged on this mission twice (in a nebula), drew it as a 2 on 2, both enemy vessels engaged my team appropriately, no border checking enemies on any/all tries...

You know, I just realized that ISC backwards is CSI... coincidence?

And I had nothing to do with the ambassador's unfortunate accident.
i wasn't even around 23,4..

Think about it... The news says something about the death of a Lyran ambassador.
Blabbermouth / Minister of Propiganda = Ambassador
Hexx is not seen on the server for the rest of the night.

Were you the mysterious ambassador killed in the random hex last night?  Enquiring minds want to know... ;)

Server back up on new files. New installer, scripts and shiplists zips posted.


NOTE: if you are not using the installer but manually swapping files then you MUST add this line:

AllowEngineDoubling=0

under [Network] in your sfc.ini file. If you do not, then you are cheating. (so will the AI...)

When finished playing on the server then remove this line.

The installer/uninstaller does this automatically for you.

Also note that this server is using Xenocorp.net's irc server. That is why logins are slower (it does a little extra on irc login), but we will not lose chat by gamespy booting the server for excess channel creation as usual. So: slower login but we get a stable chat server.

Shall I add it back in?

Which is the runner mission anyway?

Sorry dude, I assumed Bear knew what he was talking about... I know I hate that mission too... I just assumed you'd want it out too, sorry if we got it wrong.

I just reset the server to remove all the NW patrols for testing at Dizzy's request.

Normally I can edit the mission list without a reset but I must have buggered it up this time, it kept crashing after I did so (must have missed a byte somewhere... tried to do it too fast, so I just reset it).

Strangely, before we changed to the new donation scheme the server started generating runtime errors but does not crash, it still runs until the runtime dialog(s) is acknowledged then crashes. I have never seen this behaviour before. (we may have something to learn form this Tracey). Earlier this week the server generated no errors and was stable for days at a time. Either something we have done to the shiplist or settings has caused the kit to start generating these errors. Its not the new donation scheme because it started before that. I'm confuzzed.

I started from The Forge settings, it does not show this behaviour and is quite stable.

We may have to backtrack to determine the cause. Lemme stew on this, I'm getting fatigued after messing with SFC2.Net for the last few days on top of this.

Umm... guys, wasn't there more than one NW mission with the 'runner'?

Could be, I'll have to try out NW10Patrol to see.
