Spitfire on my tail-part2- SP Campaign for TF V3.0

[bolox]

A little something for SP players to enjoy the new high alt flight models :)

This version of the campaign is designed to work ONLY with the Team Fusion mod version.
If you use it with Steam version planes will not reach altitude and alot of timings will
be 'all over the place'.

That said it is a rewrite of the previous version to take advantage of the new high
altitude flight models missions now occur at historical heights- basically how I wanted
the campaign to be in the first place.

The campaign is set in late September- late October as the Luftwaffe attempts new tactics,
in particular the use of 109B fighter bomber attacks. As the de facto leader of 3/JG52 it
will often be your job to escort these attacks at high altitude across Kent to London.

Salute Bolox

Sounds great! :thumbsup:

We need more contributions like this so those who prefer the single player aspect of the game can enjoy our mod. :salute:

[skouras]

[heinkill]

It was already a kickbutt campaign. With this change it will be even kickbutterer.

Excellent Bolox. Thanks mate.:thumbsup:

[bolox]

Anything in particular you are having difficulty with?
Feel free to ask questions

[ATAG_Septic]

This is great!

The installation looks complex but it's really only a three stage job, even if done manually, and it worked for me first attempt.

Thanks very much. :salute:

Can this be easily converted into a co-op style campaign for multiplayer?

I have no knowledge/experience of multiplayer.
It should be possible to run missions, suitably edited , as missions from LW side.
Timings could be difficult- alot of formation joining, all missions are set to start on runway, engine on.
Scripting- is done for SP campaign most of it irrelevant, but there are spawn unit triggers (and a few suprises- not sure how some of these might go down in MP), some are rather integral to the 'storyline'

If you were trying to add in 'live' opposition, I think that might be difficult, I use some tricks to get timings right that would be impossible to arrange in MP. Most RAF would be airstarts

Hey Bolox
This looks like a really interesting campaign but I have never installed these single player missions before is there an instruction link on how to do so.If not can you post a full instruction and also if this is part 2 is there a part 1
Cheers

All my campaigns come with a fairly lengthy readme which includes (hopefully) comprehensive install instructions...


INSTALLATION
With modded version of the game the installation has a couple of differences relating to the new '-MOD' folder in mydocs and there is the distinct possibilty that you are running a copy of the Steam install somewhere on your hard drive (highly recommended imho)
I have always done things manually...
First extract the .rar to a convenient place
Then copy the folder " spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded " (without the quotation marks) to //.......YOUR INSTALL /il-2 sturmovic cliffs of dover/parts/bob/mission/campaign/
While you are in this folder you need to add these lines to the campaigns config file:-

spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded

[spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded]
folder spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded
title spitfire on my tail-part2-modded
image poster.bmp

the config file should look something like this:-

[Main]
campaign_gb
campaign_de
spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded


[campaign_gb]
folder campaign_gb
title Cliffs Of Dover
image Poster.bmp

[campaign_de]
folder campaign_de
title Adler Angriff
image Poster.bmp


[spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded]
folder spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded
title spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded
image poster.bmp

next you need to create an empty folder with the EXACT same name as the folder you just created in " Documents/1C SoftClub/il2 sturmovic cliffs of dover-MOD/mission/campaign (you could just repaste the folder you pasted in your install.... -and delete the contents.)
when you run the campaign a file called "state" is created which keeps track of where you are in the campaign. (and if you really need to jump to a specific mission in a campaign you can alter the number to the mission number you wish to play MINUS 1- ie at start of campaign=0, for 10th mission change to 9)


It's a little bit more complex than desireable but soon becomes second nature.

Yes there is a part 1

Thanks bolox
I will try to install tonight it a bit of a coincidence seeing your missions here. I have just finished reading the Ulrich Steinhilpers's trilogy starting with spitfire on my tail, the complete edition is called full circle an excellent insight to the German thoughts on the Battle of Britain, and subsequent failures of the Luftwaffe's commanders Galland being one of the culprits.
Thanks for the install info
All the best

[heinzknocke]

Can I say a very big thank you to you downloaded all working (with a little help from the misses) fantastic only just done the first mission so much like the book which i've only just finished. How do you plan to carry on the story with him in Canada and all his escape attempts ?

Bolox, i'm running TF4.3xx in Win7 Ultimate 64x and have installed this per instructions, also double checked to make sure. It doesn't come up in the menu at all. Is it compatible for TF 4.3xx ?

[LcSummers]

Hi Cruzz 88,


this campaign works well with TF 4.3.

I installed the first part too.

S!

Gidday ! I figured it out just now:

"[Main]
campaign_gb
campaign_de
spitfire-on-my-tail-part2-modded"

I forgot to add the last line under "Main", :doh:

[LcSummers]

Hi

glad to hear it!:thumbsup:

[Spooky999]

Thanks for creating this historical campaign. Just what I was looking for!
