DCON won't change to BL4X
I just tried to change track to BL4X on one of my servers and it kept loading BL3X instead:



Odd, I thought, so I logged in as admin and changed track (using the UI). As soon as it finished loading I was kicked with an OOS - MPSYS. Interestingly, the server screen says 'track loaded (BL3X)' whilst the LFS screen says BL4X:





Does anyone have any idea why BL4X won't load for me?

Doh! Wink Same deal there though, ask for 4x, get 3x, no other info.

edit: I thought I'd try '/track=BL4X' in the config and restarting, and it's loaded fine. Still interested in finding the cause as I'd like to be able to change to BL4X with insim, when it gets to track changing Wink
Check your BLACKWOOD_GHOST.wld file if it has 81KB size you got 0.6Q file not 0.6R (212KB)

Yep, 81k for both LFS and DCON. The LFS one was a newer date modified though, so I shut DCON down, *edit: copied all data files from LFS to DCON* and restarted. It still does this with "/track bl4x" (even if you're already on BL4X), but it will load it from the cfg file just fine. Weird, huh?
** Best answer **
Maybe beacuse that commend exist in exe. DCON should check version of file but it does not check it.
Simple solution: redownload DCON 6R and replace old files with new ones.

Sorry, I didn't mention I replaced all the DCON data files with the LFS versions with the restart, not just the wld you mentioned. Also, when I say I type "/track bl4x", I mean both directly into the DCON window and through LFS.

How did you replicate the problem for the screenshot? did you confirm it worked properly again after you undid the test?
Do not do that, do not copy LFS data to DCON, LFS do not use ghost wld files.

I just replaced original R file with file taken from DCON Q, maked test, take screenshot, then changed it back to R file.
That was it, I guess my directory structure is a bit messed up from messing around with running the dedis. Thanks! Odd that it would load from the cfg with the wrong file version.
