• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

GUID reuse

aka the elusive logical OR in criteria rewards.

So, when I did the seawings reward file (it's on AvSim and maybe flightsim- I never got a confirmation from them and the site had problems due to a fire recently) doing the regional rewards was easy enough, and the 'master wings' for landing at every seaport on the list. I wanted to also have a 'senior seawings' reward for landing at 100 seaports... but I could not figure out how to do it.

I've noticed that if I put both my original test .rwd, and the seawings.rwd in my rewards folder, even though both have a copy of the exact same reward, calling the exact same GUID only one copy of the reward occur in my pilot records. Is that guarenteed behaviour?

If so, then if I wanted to give a reward for landing at KABC or KXYZ I could set the reward up as normal, but use the same GUID, no? For my landings at 100 of 563 seaports, that would be 100n563 copies of the same GUID in GrantedRewards.bin- is that potentially a bad thing?

Thanks,
-T
 
Hi Folks

Tony -
You cannot reuse GUIDs for different rewards.

If you've achieved two differnt rewards,
and both have the same GUID,
only one will display.



GrantedRewards.bin will only register 1 GUID
duplicates will be ignored.

Otherwise reflying a mission
would display a second copy of the reward.

Potentially it is indeed bad :p - but it may still work.
Yes, I think duplicate GUIDs might be possible, but I'd strongly suggest not to use them, because you never know what they might do to FSX.
For example it was no problem to call 1 mission file from within 2 different FLT files until SP2 - and then FSX showed an ugly error message in that case. :eek:

Right, that was my intended effect. :)

duplicates will be ignored.

If that's the case, then there ought to be no problem for FSX except checking all the potential triggers for that GUID each time the .rwd's get checked.

And... since aparently there are 9.6 * 10^270 combinations :eek: of 100 airports in a list of 563... I shan't be following up on this anyways. Thanks though,

Hi Folks

Duplicate reward GUIDs do not work.

AFAIK,
only the last reward granted
from a series of duplicates
will be displayed in the pilots records.



EDIT -
Hadn't realised you'd posted whilst I was replying.

If 'last in' is your intent
You'd need to play to confirm it works.

Bit of a waste of rewards though
to only ever display 1 of 563.



EDIT 2 -
'senior seawings' reward for landing at 100 seaports

Understand now.
No don't think it's practicable,
or can be fitered to meet those criteria.



For example
it was no problem to call 1 mission file from within 2 different FLT files
until SP2 -
and then FSX showed an ugly error message in that case.

Yep, a PITA.
Never did get a reason why.
