Co-op help - disappearing through ground

[Dusty13]

Hi all, can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong here? i've been trying to make a coop mission for me and my father, every time spawn a plane on the ground (In Parking) when the mission launches i have instantly been killed and cant see the plane when i spawn in the mission, If i spawn (In Air) when i land the plane it disappears through the runway under the map? 

 

I'm really confused because i always make sure the 3 terrain settings are the same in the editor.

 

Thanks in advance guys

 

FYI the map is Lapino, GUI set to Lapino Winter and the season is Winter.

Per JimTM's manual, page 186, 

 

Player Enters Plane and Is Kicked Out or Plane Is Destroyed or Goes Underground
When a player enters a plane, they could be taken immediately to an external view or the
plane may blow up or end up underground. To solve this problem, try opening the .mission
file and checking if SeasonPrefix is set to blank. If SeasonPrefix is blank, set it to an
appropriate two-letter value as follows:
• wi– winter
• su–summer, autumn

 

Manually reset it in the .mission file...

Hi Schneemann  thank's very much for the reply, I'll check it out now.

Hi again, 

 

so this didn't work,  the .mission file was blank like previously mentioned in JimTM's manual but i've now changed it to "wi"; and saved the file but it's still doing the same thing.

Can you provide the mission files (zipped) I can have a quick look.

 

BTW what guide have you been using to make missions?
ie have you read JIms excellent guide? and or related info in the forum on making missions?

The reason is the game uses a binary file with ext .msnbin, (as does the editor) to play a mission (not the .mission source file)

So if you manually edit the source file you need to recreate the msnbin file. (or delete the msnbin file and the game will recreate it)

Ie the game needs msnbin files to load a mission and editing the mission file manually does not create them.

 

If you are not following the guides people have spend a lot of time making in the community you can avoid common problems like this.

Please follow the guides , people have made a lot of effort and they are excellent... have fun with it.

I'll add that "save the mission" step to my troubleshooting topic on this problem.

Yeah, I should have said that. Fix it in the file, then open in the editor again to make everything link/update/play nice together. Glad you got it to go!
