[WIP][Server] Orbital Warfare Overhaul

Hi All, this MOD looks stunning, my hat off to all of you. I've been trying to run it and I'm getting the immediate disconnect as well. Looking forward to your fix.

As competent modders, perhaps you could answer what I hope is a simple question? What software would I need to change sound effects? I keep reading about FMOD, but I can't figure it out. Do you know of any how-to documents I could read through?

Thanks again for a spectacular MOD, looking forward to playing.

Thanks, glad you like what we've done. Yeah that issue has been dragging on over the last few days, but hopefully emraldis and stuart will be able to work it out fairly soon (I'm confident that they'll be able to work it out soon).

On the topic of SFX no one has really done an SFX mod so there isn't really much documentation pertaining to it at the moment. I believe it is possible to add SFX to PA, but there is no known way as of yet to make that sound play for example when a tank fires. (I may be wrong about this though, theres a thread where people are talking about this stuff over in the mod discussions section.)

Thanks for letting me know nicb1, much appreciated. So you must be using the existing sound banks from PA for your MOD?

Yeah currently all of our sounds are already in PA.

All right, another fix attempt. Try it now?

Sadly to say it did not work, here's the server log along with a screenshot of what it did when it didn't work.

Go home game, you're drunk.

Yep, now it's complaining how it doesn't know the layer "Orbital"... wtf.

Are you guys still playing with the icons mod on? Or any UI mods for that matter?

The jumpgate error it's throwing out is interesting. The server is dieing before it can upload a crash so the message before then is more likely to be the culprit I think.

All right, I'll try that out, though that one doesn't seem to ever have caused issues.

I see you've already pushed it to PAMM. Hopefully that fixed it.

Nope.

The messages vanished though so

And the server log is telling nothing more.

Trying some crazy hack to see if I can get something.

And as usual Galactic War is too weird to be useful.

Have a little hunch, trying out.

I might have to purposefully break some files in order to see exactly where it breaks. Seems like it's either in one of the Wraith files or in the Stingray. Removed most of the stingray files to see if that fixes it.

How did live_game.js resurrect itself?!

Just confirmed: It's something in the AI files that's breaking it. Further testing shall be done.

Feel free to temporarily remove them for now.

Isolated the broken file. Will probably take me 10 minutes to figure out what's breaking and get a fix out.

Dang typos. Fixed and sent Sorian a message so that this madness with broken files not showing up in the server logs doesn't happen again.

Nice! Hopefully that worked.

Congrats @stuart98 , I'm putting you on the team list as pro bugfixer if you're not already on there!
