itchboy Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Freeplay challenge mode?You cannot fail endless mode.Something was probably changed in the freeplay_challenge.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Miller Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 i dont know what, ive looked through everything and i found nothing that says mission failed but if fires get to big it kicks you out of the game and says mission failed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Miller Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 correction it says end of mission you have lost control over your events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yep, thats challenge mode. Try setting ingame difficulty lower. Also, try playing in endless mode if you dont want to be pressured into having to control fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Miller Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 no it does that in endless mode and multiplayer mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Strange....multiplayer and endless should NOT give failing screens. Can anyone else shed some light on to this weird behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastyBill88 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Which mod are you playing on by the way when this happens? I have noticed it with a few different ones that the challenge mode XML is used for endless and MP which causes that message when a fire gets too big.

I didnt know that it was possible to switch the xml's on those. Its a good possibiliy that is what may have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it will play as either endless or challenge mode depending on which one you copied and pasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 So I guess there was a mix up when they packaged the mod. Someone should let the developers know. Unless of course this copy of the mod was modified in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an easy fix though, all you have to do it copy the freeplay_endless.xml from another mod which works without the mission failed message and apply to the Boston mod specs folder.

Justin Miller Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 they did this on purpose, i told them about it and they said thats how the mod is and they will not tell me how to change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Miller Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 *UPDATE* after changing the specs its still ending the game if the fire gets to big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
