Well, I can send my troops into missions now, but sort of blind because I get an error message when I try to view a mission, past or present.

Other than that, the mechanics seem to be working fine again!

Please provide a link to the url where you are encountering the error so that I can take a look at the file with the problem. Thanks.

Thanks, I "fixed" the error, sort of, more or less with a band-aid. Not happy at all with how that code is written. Several functions are declared more than once, which shouldn't be how this works at all. Usually if a function is re-declared, it should cause an error, but it's not for some reason that I haven't figured out yet.

Can someone point me in the direction of how to access all of your mission and arena logs? Does it always have to be accessed from a character's page instead of it being a master list of logs?

Let me know if you guys find more errors. Thanks.

Personally my first port of call is the HMW Front Page.
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/index.php
It shows the last six missions/arena battles I've participated in.
Then there's the individual character pages which shows the last six missions/arena battles the character has fought in.

Other than that I don't think there's any way for us to go back any further.

I ran across something similar when I tried the minicon page. I was curious about what worked even if minicons haven't been used in years.

On my cell\mobile - I can't activate Transformers in my Registry. I can click the squares, click the "Activate Transformers" button and it'll reload the page without any of them active.

It works in my browser on the PC, which is pointing at my cell being the issue, but I'm not sure why....

UMN & Invidia are currently in the CR. I get the same error message whether i have character in the CR or not.

I dont think it stops it from functioning, just letting ya'll know there was an error message displaying

Since there is no real difference between level 10 and 11 why not make all the missions that go up to 10 extend to 11. Or at least 1 of them to give more than just 2 mission types.

Because, and as has been said on multiple occasions, that's not currently possible!

sorry I didn't realize these were old missions that suddenly came back, thought they were new ones. and possible versus unlikely or not time feasible is a bit different. . I realize it isn't possible for you to change them.

The mission "Ambush the Decepticon patrol" shows that its a Lvl 1-2, but I see a Lvl 4 Decepticon was able to join it. Not sure if its a one-off or its the same with all the "Ambush the Decepticon patrol" missions.

Attaching screens.

[Burn]

Level 1-2 for Autobots, most likely level 4 for Decepticons.

If you look, the Autobots can have six on their side while the 'Cons can only have 2.

This is an old (formerly inactive) mission from years ago that tried to compensate for the imbalance in sides.

[Stray]

Oh I wasn't aware of that. My bad.

[Burn]

All good! None of us were expecting the return of these missions. Hopefully once the mission control panel is fixed up we can get a few more of these types going where the lower levels can gang up on a higher level and earn some sweet sweet XP.

Just made a slew of HMW game-wide code changes. Nothing that impacts anything you guys are seeing, just cleaning up code to be like I originally wrote it in order to follow my style of writing code and to just make it cleaner. For example, just made a game-wide change that the field "mission_scenario" is now called "mission_scenario_id" (since it is an integer ID field), plus added a table for those scenarios for Burn to be able to see what it is he's tinkering around with finally.

I also removed about a dozen old files that one of the previous programmers had copied/duplicated into various folders for some reason or another. Minor things like this will hopefully make it easier for me to track down where I need to make changes going forward and to simply clean up the directory structure (which is kind of a mess after 3 or 4 different programmers worked on this game before I decided to get into this thing finally).

If the game wasn't loading for you momentarily a little while ago, it's because I deleted all of the HMW code on the server in order to make sure that the files I removed would also be removed from the server. The HMW directories and files are all reuploading right now. I'm on a gigabit per second connection so it shouldn't take too long for everything to be back up and running.

Hopefully I didn't screw anything up by removing files and making game-wide changes to the code and database. If something isn't right, please let me know. I backed up all of the files (and have much older backups from the past 14 years that I can also refer back to if needed).

Twas' running smooth as ever in early afternoon, but now my registry is just an error message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sort_roster() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/seibertron.com/httpdocs/heavymetalwar/registry.php:142) in /var/www/vhosts/seibertron.com/httpdocs/heavymetalwar/includes/game_shared.php on line 3585

...sooooo, maybe one o' them files you deleted wasn't just dead weight? Or maybe it just tossed my cookies?

Still, appreciate all the work you've put into the game this week!

Keep getting this every time I click Registry

Cleared cache, tried again, problem persists

[Bun-Bun]

and now missions i was in when this went down are returning errors

Missions don't seem to be spawning

Missions don't seem to be spawning

Pushed some more files live and added a database change that I forgot I had made in my local environment but forgot to make to the live environment. Let me know if it's working for you.

Also, easier to track down errors if you guys just provide URLs where the error is and copy and paste the error or show a screen shot of the error. Full URLs is much more helpful so I can replicate the error as fast as possible.

[Burn]

I blame ScottyP.
(Will check it myself)
-edit-
There were about 20 missions waiting for me to join.

Thanks though I figured with the mission thing you'd just use the sidebar link and there was no error message then just no missions.
Currently on mobile, posting here is tedious enough with a phone, trying to be excessively fancy is hell

view-mission.php has variables passed to it. I couldn't see what variables were being passed to it in the screenshot you provided (such as the unique mission id), which is why it'd be easier to just have the URL copy and pasted.

The alternative is that I have to look up your user id, open up a session to the live database, search the missions table for your user id, sort by descending order, copy the last mission id for your user id, then add it manually to the URL and hope that I was able to replicate the error that was reported. Whew!
