BUG: Production Costs Tool returns broken page
IN: MP4-v4.285 with Linux-based MySQL databases
OK, Hitcher wins the gold elephant stamp award for reporting the first bug.
The new "Production Costs" tool fails for Linux-based MySQL database connections where case sensitivity of SQL queries is important. The error does not occur for Windows-based MySQL databases or for MSAccess databases.
The error is inside Scripts/MP-ProductionCosts.php. There is a single occurrence of the string "object_Specifications" inside the definition of $SQLOC around line 45. This offending string should be replaced by "Object_Specifications" (note the capital "O" at the start). Correction of this error increments the MP version to v4.286, which can be done simply by editing Scripts/MP-ApplicationMetadata.php and changing the value of the $Meta1 variable.

BUG: Factory Tooltips show raw FB unit production types
IN: MP4-v4.285 with Linux-based MySQL databases
I get the elephant stamp this time. This is a minor bug, but can be important where campaign admins edit the Verbose Names fields in Object_Specifications to rename unit types. E.g. Warg sometimes requires that B5N2 Kate bombers be renamed as "Fairey Battle" bombers for European early-war scenarios.
In the above case, a factory tooltip might show the factory producing the raw name "B5N2" instead the verbose name "Fairey Battle". The bug is purely in the rendering of the tooltip performed by Scripts/MP-Head.js; nevertheless the "Logistics : Industrial" tool will show the correct verbose name of all produced types.
Corrected in MP4-v4.287.

Get this error from DCS V2beta(K3) when starting.
DCS "flush database" was performed and restarted. Error still occurs.
Edit: Note DCS version above? I wasn't using DCS V3.00(A) and got errors. Downloaded the correct version and all was well. Problem solved!!

Top-ups not working
Posted: Sun 14 Jan 2007 10:42 pm
by JAGD_RC
I'm using the Kursk map under an Access DB and noticed that the aircraft top-ups function isn't working. (it used to) anyway, when you top-up a flight, there is no confirmation page in the MP and the flight doesn't show up in the mission.
Good stuff in this last release! Production Works WooHoo!!!
Extra Resupply point in Kursk
Posted: Sun 14 Jan 2007 10:44 pm
by JAGD_RC
There is a resupply point in Kursk that shows up for both axis and allied.
It is 3191 and it should be just Russian by the looks of it. I deleted the "g" version of 3191 Road Supply and that fixed it right up.
Thanks!

S! shades
i had aproblem loading the full version of the mysql database.
SEDB30a-MySQL_Unix.sql
It queried to 262 and then stopped.
After a total of about 25 seconds, i got a message saying
[Err]2006 - MySQL server has gone away.
[Msg]Finished - Unsuccessfully
The way i avoided the problem was to load the split database and then just load the normandy files. That worked fine.
Thought you might like to know.

Yes, that is exactly why Katana developed the SPLIT databases. These days, the full SEDB file is so big that it is best used as a reference dataset, rather than an operational MySQL database.
Also, everyone please note that the current SEDB30a SPLIT SQL file for Singapore contains a formatting error. The corrected version is
here.
