[Solved]Can't seem to get the intro working online.

[Knutselmaaster]

On dedi, no intro neither.
So my MT work might be ok after all.
But there is something blocking it.
Is it a bug or a setting?

You're right about this line:

Code: Select all

UIManager.UIAll.UISequence = CUIConfig::EUISequence::Intro;

It plays the Intro, but without this line:

Code: Select all

wait(UIManager.UIAll.UISequenceIsCompleted);

The Intro is just skipped without having the time to play. I'll edit the the Battle script to correct that. I'll review the other game modes too to see if the intros work.
Thanks for the report.

So if i just add

Code: Select all

wait(UIManager.UIAll.UISequenceIsCompleted);

in the line after

Code: Select all

UIManager.UIAll.UISequence = CUIConfig::EUISequence::Intro;

it will work?
I'll try that right away when i come home this afternoon.
Thanks, i really needed the intro, as it gives instructions on my maps.



Edit: IT WORKS!
(sorry)
Thanks!

Edit2:
But only for a few seconds, (i think only during syncronisation)

Mmmh, how long is your intro? I suppose you didn't press any key or something like that during the intro?
I know there's some kind of mechanism to prevent an intro to be played indefinitely, maybe that's what cut yours before the end.

They're about 2 minutes in full color
Can i give a time value to the wait command?
I don't remember having that problem on TM before, limited intro time on servers...

The rationale for the 30s limit is that as everybody has to be ready for the game to start (which is not the case in TA..),
it would make everyone wait on the start line for a too long time while waiting for the last player to see the intro.

I could increase the maximum timeout or remove it and use all the map intro duration. But then 2mn seems a bit long the second time you play the map, and forever when it's the third time
I'll think about it to see if I come up with a satisfactory solution.

I understand now, thanks for your explanation.
Indeed it would be very annoying to be forced to wait.
But, now that i know that it is done deliberately, and cannot be bypassed, i don't really mind.
Once you know the boundaries, you can work with them
I simply make a short intro, with some basic info, explaining that when you wait at spawn (TM GPS style) you can get detailed information.
Normally i can simply save the intro sequence, and load it into the ingame MT so it won't take long.
