Not that Arena should at all be a priority but it seems that for some reason the large icons don't work there. (Icons show fine everywhere else)

How are they displaying correctly? It looks like the custom color's borders were skinned off.

I knew that was worded wrongly.

Essentially, what they're displaying is what's in the system. I need to upload better quality pictures to fix it.

No need. I fixed it. It was something wrong with the way GIF images were handled when resized. I wrote a script that generated all new thumbnails, but it wasn't quite right. After I made some improvements to the script, all seems to look good again.

By the way, I ended up back at GIF images instead of PNG images because it was too difficult to figure out how to color the plain white PNG images with PHP GD library, but we were already doing it with GIF images, so I reverted it back to how it was and made a few improvements to the script along the way.

Fair enough

Mission logs are still borked

I fixed the alt mode icons that weren't displaying in the missions. Send me some examples if there are more logs that need to be corrected. Thanks.

Well, that's one less thing to do on this non-weekend!

Arena is out of commission (for me, at least).

It shows I should be able to fight, but when I attempt to do so I get this message:

[ZeroWolf]

That's an interesting error

It shows I should be able to fight, but when I attempt to do so I get this message:

This should be fixed. I did a mass find-and-replace when I updated some columns related to missions that were inconsistently named in a singular or plural fashion, but didn't realize those fields were also being used in code and database tables related to arena. I just updated the database columns to be plural that was causing the problem, which should fix the error.

Can you provide a link to that character or arena so that I can verify that the error is gone? Thanks!

I'm a little confused by your message. Does "..….fixed" mean it is working properly for you now?

[Bun-Bun]

There seems to be something going on with the Missions
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/missions.php
I thought I caught a screen cap of it but apparently it didn't save.
The gist is that in some of the missions the level requirements are backwards. For example where it would normally be levels 4-5 it says 5-4 and thus it won't let level 4's or 5's enter the mission (Because 5's are above the Max & 4's are below the Min )

It also seemed like I needed to refresh 2 or 3 times before a new mission generated.

Got it! I had the min and max insert statement mixed up after trying to clean up that query and restructured it. Should be all set with new missions from this post on. Any previous missions generated in past hour will be incorrect.

FYI ... the last mission for my Transformers that I ran in my local environment ended in a "The Unknowns have won the mission" error. If you see this on the live site, please let me know. Otherwise I'm going to assume that the error that I addressed in my previous post did indeed fix it what caused the Unknowns to win. If not and you guys see the error on the live site, I'll start hunting for the problem here in a little bit.

LOL (and DOH)! I figured out why the Unknowns won. That happens when the automated script doesn't run and actually process the battle, but the time is met. Surely there's a better way to handle that. I'll have to ponder better ways. In this particular case, it turned out I just needed to run the automated script which I have to do manually in my local environment. On the live server, it runs automatically once per minute so it seems fairly seamless to all of you, but if the script doesn't run due to some error, the "Unknowns" are shown as the winner.

The mission bug still exist. I have a 2-1 ambush the deception patrol id 79289 having the requirements flipped. I don't know how to screen shot on my tablet. Protect the protoform is same way being 2-1 instead of 1-2. The current mission id 79313.

Probably old missions that had already generated before he did the fix.

I just deployed and everything looked good again.

I manually put steve2275's two examples back into the process queue. Hopefully the changes I made earlier fixed this, but those particular missions were processed prior to uploading the fixes/changes. If it processes correctly, than I will work to get previously "unknown" missions to be fixed as well. There are currently 1,244 missions that do not have a winner (i.e. Unknowns have won) out of 79,362 total missions.

steve2275, those missions will process at 3:57 PM Central.

Missions won't generate for me.

There are currently no missions which you can accept.
You have 5 active Transformers, 4 of which are currently doing something. You may need to activate Transformers in your registry first in order to join new missions.

Heavy Metal War Error https://www.seibertron.com/errors/heavymetalwar.php
HMW is temporarily down or a file was not found. Please check back later or try again. If the problem continues, please report it in this topic on our forums. Thank you!


seems that level 10 and 11 wont generate missions the arena looks fine
any same level mission

[Burn]

I think I know what the problem is. Missions are only generating when they want, rather than when they want AND forced when there's no other missions available.
