Help! My campaign won't show!

[Spidey002]

I just finished flying a mission for my USAF Mustang Pilot in "Spidey's Campaign." But when I returned to PWCG to do the combat report, my campaign was missing! It didn't show on the opening screen!

The folder "Spideys Campaign" was still in the "Campaigns" folder in "User."

I was also able to create a new campaign, but still can't access my old campaign (and I'd hate to have to start over!)

 

I checked the PWCGErrorLog and saw this entry:

Any ideas what I should do?

zip up the PWCG campaign directory (PWCGBoS\User\<Campaign>) and post it.  The error is stating that one of the personnel files contains invalid JSON.   Did you try to hand edit a file?  if not it's kind of odd since the file is written and read via GSON.  It would be pretty odd for GSON to create a file that it is unable to read back in.

[Spidey002]

Thanks for taking a look, Patrick! 

 

I haven't edited any files. The first time I even dug into the folders was when my campaign stopped showing up. 

 

Attaching my "Campaigns" directory. Has "Spideys Campaign" (the missing one), and "Beau RAF" (the new one I created to see if it would work).

I cannot even begin to tell you what happened.   66th squadron file was mangled.  Fortunately, not the squadron that you are flying with.  I repaired it an can get into your campaign again.  Data was lost so it is possible that some 66 Squadron pilots are gone.

 

Repaired campaign attached.

Weird! Able to access campaign again, but it won't let me report my most recent combat mission. 

 

Maybe because of the missing squadron?

 

Error log tells me to post this file to the forum.

If that mission is a loss, I'm ok with that, as long as I can keep playing.

[PatrickAWlson]

Given what happened to that file,  I would not be shocked that there are issues with anything that happened in the past.  I would take a day's leave and continue on.  The leave process will hopefully reset things.

[Spidey002]

I took leave, started a new mission, flew the mission, and got the part where I submit my report of victories claimed, and get the same error.

 

I checked the error log, and got this:

The alert also told me to submit the attached zip.

 

Am I totally screwed?

Worst case scenario, I’ll begin a new campaign on the most recent date with a different squadron. 
 

For RP purposes, I’ll say that I was transferred out and given a promotion to 2nd Lieutenant (it was about due, I think). 

I’ll lose my medals, but there are plenty more to be earned over the course of the war. 

[PatrickAWlson]

Let me take a look.  I think I can do something to fix it.  

[Spidey002]

Thanks for checking!

Any luck?

[PatrickAWlson]

The latest error was also due to issues with 66 squadron corruption.  The last time I tried to repair 66 squadron.  This time I just grabbed the personnelfilefrom another campaign and dropped it into yours.  I took a days leave without a problem.

You are a prince among men. 

[Spidey002]

It worked! Able to fly mission and claim my kills. Thanks again!
