Ooooooo, I found the issue.

Missions that override "def/tdm_weapon_blackjack.def" have the issue, because they are missing the "anim ready" and "anim unready" lines.

@Wellingtoncrab @kingsal @Goldwell

That is good to know!

 

Ill delete the blackjack def file in my upcoming missions. And when I update my existing ones, I’ll remove it for them too. 
 

Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

No missions are (or shouldn't be) broken in 2.11 because of the Blackjack changes. @Obsttorte was diligent and implemented a fallback. Until someone proves otherwise, all those missions are fine.

It's not that the missions are broken. They are as good as they were with 2.10 or even better. It's that the new blackjack raise animation doesn't show. It breaks that feature; "tdm_blackjack_indicate 1" doesn't work. Players who are used to that behavior won't have it and may wonder why.

Whether or not this is a big deal will depend on the player, and it's up to the mission author to decide whether or not to fix it for them.

I just wanted to make it clear to @Goldwell.

I myself raised the point a few months back in a different topic for a different subject. It's a tricky situation that well deserves its own topic 😉

Mission authors should check what core files they override (I think the console might show?) and then check if this is needed or even a good idea. Might also save some download space.

Nice to have a mappers file checker script that checks if files are both present in fm and core and (if text based) what are the differences.

There's nothing to make clear. I didn't mention once in my original post that I thought the missions were broken because of the blackjack changes.

 

I'm only updating them because I want them to take advantage of the new blackjacking changes.

So just out of curiosity, what did you change with the blackjack in your missions? I played them all, but can't remember any differences.

Will update my blackjacks when I get a chance- might not be for a while though. I used custom blackjacks for a while but have since removed them from my pk4s.

I wonder if we should have override-with-inheritance for def files, as well as a proper way to delete a spawnarg after inheritance?

Splitting functionality up into more files might be easier to do. In both cases, mappers wouldn't need to override the entire thing just to change tiny aspects of it (probably mostly looks and parameters).

      Sometimes when I try to post comment in bugtracker page that I opened days ago, bugtracker says my session is expired and my comment is lost.

      I have discovered plausible workaround. When I see expiration message, I open browser's dev tools, go to network tab and refresh page. Then I select POST request and copy my text from its content.

      I don't think The Last of Us part I is a good game; it is something else in terms of pure audio-visual experience though. The attention to detail is insane, especially in sound and animation.
