(Out of curiosity, does the mission victory/defeat page use the same image or can it have a different image?)

Hopefully, future rounds shouldn't break the game in the same way, but I'll try and warn you if I think it will.

We can have different images for victory and defeats from what the initial brief is, if needed.

Perfect! Thanks again.

Talk to burn and psychout. You guys figure out what you want and let me know.

While you're about and mucking with missions...

For us poor common peons without the fancy mission result tools that the mods have and actually have to trawl through logs individually to record results could you maybe add "next" and "back" links to the top of each mission log to facilitate going through them?

Currently I have to constantly be editing the address bar with the next mission number as I slog through them all looking for Tourney results.

(the same would be nice for the Arena too but there are far fewer results to deal with there so it's not as big a hassle)

It really isn't that fancy...

Did armor costs get reduced but the tooltip info not updated? Went to install some armor and "now having 8 tons of Iron armor installed at a cost of €8,000." But yet the info bar says it's €2,200 total per ton installed? It's basically having me pay for the armor and not the install.

Think of it as a bonus.

Alt Mode rotation is messed up. Been watching it hawkishly and there are only a fraction of combinations popping up.

Decepticons as well. I only see about 7 of my teams alts popping up with any regularity. I've been noticing it for about 2 months now.

So the whole thing is broken then.

That should make it easier to fix next time Ryan looks at HMW.

Missions are borked

The rabbit isn't wrong.

Missions are coming up as "No Record Available" from the index, and the missions have everyone survive at 100% health, with 0 rewards.

Can you guys let me know if the fix that I made resolved the problem for HMW? Thanks.

by **Bun-Bun** » Sun Oct 20, 2019 1:32 pm

Nope. Problem persists.

One of these days, I'll figure out how to process battles that didn't get processed. I'm not a fan of how the arena and missions are processed so it's a much bigger operation that I want to deal with at the moment. There should be a flag for each mission or arena that says whether or not it's completed. If there's an error, I should be able to just clear the "is_completed" flag, but it's not setup that way. The code uses this overly complicated method of checking start and end timestamps, which is fine in some cases, but in others it'd be best to loop through ones that have not been completed only. Something for me to tackle at a later date.

Not sure if you guys have noticed or not, but Seibertron.com is flying lightning fast. I overcame a huge hurdle late last week with the server that has plagued it for years. Now that I figured out that problem, I can resume working on other things on the site.
