Help the MFCTI Leach
« on: 20 Sep 2006, 09:39:16 »
I installed mfcti 1.15 awhile back. I had it on for a while until I began to notice that missions I made were automaticlly throwing a missing mfcti addon error whenever I hosted games. So I got to looking inside my mission.sqm file and noticed the mfcti lines were being included in the mfcti addon section. However none of the mfcti addons were being used in the file, hence the reason for the error message. So I removed mfcti from my computer completely. Afterword I went into the effected missions and removed the mfcti lines from all of them, i.e., I did this by hand. But when ever I edit the mission in the mission editor it still adds the mfcti addon lines back into the mission.sqm file. Can someone tell me how to stop this from happening?

Thanks,
Jeff

Seems a little odd Jeff, are you 100% sure that theres no leftover MFCTIs addons laying inside a Mod directory ?
If you look through the rest of the SQM file, is there any other reference made to MFCTIxxxxxxx ?

yes it is 100% removed. However I did figure out a few things. When I had the mfcti installed before, for some odd reason, it adds the code to some of my missions even when they don't use the mod at all. I scoured the file and there are no mfcti specific objects in it. There is only the line with the the addons bracket that calls to mfcti.  So that is one problem. The next problem: After I removed the mfcti addon, I edit a mission that was created at the time that I had the mfcti addon and in the process I got the error that I was missing it. So I edited the mission.sqm file and removed the call to the addon. Then I edit within the ofp editor again and save it. It adds the line in again. So I exit ofp and then remove the line from the mission.sqm, open the ofp and then edit the mission and it saves fine without adding the line and runs without the mfcti. So I added mfcti in again to my addons and it adds the line to my file the next time I edit it. I don't know if it matters but I am not putting the mfcti inside my res/addons or my /addons folder. I am putting it in a seperate folder, i.e., @myaddons.

In anycase I like mfcti enough that I can live with this problem. I will just have to edit my mission file each time before I publish and remove it.

If anyone has any help, that will be better :)

Thanks for taking the time to reply,
Jeff

MFCTI sometimes does this. All I can suggest is removing the MFCTI addon while editing. Frustrating, but only possible way.
