Sometimes addons/mods don't work when I start a game.

Description

I use two addons a lot. FAStance http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19017
and
ShackTac Fireteam HUD http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18949

Sometimes they don't work when I load a mission in multiplayer LAN, where I play singleplayer missions. After I am killed in the mission and respawn they will usually start working.

BTW, I think FA Stance should be a feature of the game that BIS supplies. It is very difficult to keep track of what stance you are in without it. In real life this is never the case.

This sounds like an issue with the addons themselves, I suggest you contact their authors.

To elaborate, dialogs and resources are not written into a game save. Neither are variables that contain references to UI elements and scripts that contain the <i>disableSerialization</i> keyword. Addons that introduce UI elements have to cater for this behavior.

Thanks for your reply, you would know better than me. I will contact the authors of the addons about this. However, one thing I should have mentioned in my report is that when the addons don't work, all of them don't work. It's not that some work and some don't, all the addons stop working at the same time. When I respawn and they work again, all of them are working again.

This makes me wonder if it has something to do with BIS code, but I'm not a programmer so I don't really know. Like I said, I will contact the authors of the addons I use. Thanks again.

Broken mod must be fixed by author. If there is something wrong on our side, author of mod can report bug with detailed info and we will look at it. Thanks. Closing.
