    Get the Self Inflicted Dynamic Campaign while it' s hot

    Hi all,

    I've been building something and testing it on my own. Recently, I realized that it' s too much fun to keep around the house. Also, more guys test software better than a single guy. What I built can grow a dynamic campaign out of a .mis file built in the Full Mission Builder . No GUI yet, I've yet to learn how to program that. All You lot get are console applications, but they'll get the job done. More details, as well as the download link:

    Thanks for your efforts Leo.

    Would be interested in hearing what people think of the program.

    Whew! I visited your website via the link you provided - lots of detail and lots of good reading!

    It was in the wee hours this morning, my head was spinning (pretty much my virtual flying style, as well...), so I will have to come back to it later to give your site the time it richly deserves.

    Thank you for the huge amount of effort you’ve put into this. Looks fantastic!

    Leo72 you made a really astonishing work! Impressive indeed! Well done Flieger!


    Regarding the RAF74_Buzzsaw statement/request in his reply my 2 cents, also if i can't be surely defined an offline campaign player lover, are these:


    - Extremely good if this program could have also some multiplayer application ( For example if it could give the chance of adding to the game online dynamic campaigns, it could be an absolutely great addition indeed )

    Speaking of its current state instead ( or rather single/offline player dedicated ) ok for its possible inclusion in the game/future patches but taking these two things in mind:

    - It should have no impact/s on game performances

    - It should not require too much work by TFS to include it in the game ( due to their already " limited human resources/high load of work " ).
    Said in brief if it's something that can be added without too much work/difficulties by TFS ok, if, instead it's something that could possibly drain " resources " from the already high load of work they have do for the patch 5.0, probably better including it in a second time, when the main things/works about the patch 5.0 will be already released/completed

    TF cannot include the program in the game unless Leo joins us as a member.... 1C will not publish material from outside non-copyright secure sources.

    This looks like a zip file but it is a gzip archive which is different and windows 10 doesn't want to unzip it. It can be opened with another software, I used 7-Zip a free and open-source file archiver, and the dynamic mission generator actually works properly and its fun, so keep trying its worth it!

    Re: Get the Self Inflicted Dynamic Campaign while it' s hot

    I tried it with a couple of simple missions I made in the FMB, but I kept getting the same error message that indicated I did not have a player-pilot assigned, even though I did. I’m goofing up somewhere, but not sure where. I’m away from my PC today, but I will do a screen capture of the error message when I’m back home again.

    7-zip opens the archive...

    After the file is downloaded, right click and select 7zip/open archive, then double-click on the white file, it turns to yellow folder, drag it to where it has to go... good luck!

    Code:
    Please enter the name of the .mis file You built
    in the Full Mission Builder:
    
    SIDCtest2
    
    
    The .mis file You specified doesn' t contain
    a line specifying a pilot. Please go back to the
    Full Mission Builder, load your .mis file, select
    one of the air groups and tick a "player" checkbox
    for one of the planes. Then restart this application.
    
    
    Press 'c' and then ENTER to continue!
    If you mean an error that looks like this above, it is simple to do correctly: you must write the full mission file name including the extension ".mis" and then you can go further.

    Hi

    The Campaign Creation Tool.exe needs a line defining a player in the .mis file You wish to create a campaign from. It looks like this:

    player squadronid.planenumber

    Basically, Your mission file needs a line beginning with the word "player". Most frequently, the FMB will create such a line for You if You bothered to check a player checkbox for the plane You wish to fly in the FMB. To do this, open up Your .mis file in the FMB and activate "Mission objects" and "Object browser" panels in the dropdown menus. Place them so that they don' t overlap. Select the airgroup in the "Mission objects" panel and then the desired plane in the "Object browser" panel. Check the "player" tickmark for the desired plane, Save Your mission, and You should be good to go.

    Unfortunately, sometimes when changing the planes for the same .mis file, the appropriate line isn't saved to the .mis file. To correct this, alt- tab to the OS and open up the .mis file in notepad. Check if there' s a line with the word "player". If not, You'll have to add it yourself. It should be added above the first GlobalWind section, usually denoted by:

    [GlobalWind_0]

    When You place Your cursor, hit enter to create a blank line, hit space twice, type "player", hit space, copy a squadron id from the [Airgroups] section below, type a '.' after the squadron id and finally type a three digit number denoting the squadron number, flight number and plane number respectively. The line should look like this:

    player BOB_RAF_F_74Sqn_Early.001

    , BOB_RAF_F_74Sqn_Early being the squadron id, and 001 the plane id.

    Cassius, this mission you posted above is working in the mission creator, so you may be making this error: not entering the full mission file name with extension.

    Re: Get the Self Inflicted Dynamic Campaign while it' s hot

    After an air group is placed onto an airfield, one needs to set the first waypoint of that air group to “Take off”

    your mission has four airgroups with a single NORMFLY waypoint, this may not work for you, it has to be take off in the instructions on the sidc webpage.

    Based on a briefing in the next mission, we will be relocated to another airfield and will attack the Radar station.
    In general, a great tool!
    Of course it need cosmetic changes to the names of airfields, ports, etc.
    But the first impression is very positive! And this is the main thing!
    Big Thanks Leo!
    I will definitely try to find time for translation and publication about this tool in our Russian-language sub-forum. If no one done it before. )
    I'm glad it worked out for You. I'm no Russian speaker, but You can try copying the text of the web page into Google translate. I'll look into Your .mis file nevertheless.

After the translate will be done I’m going to modify .dat file by entering names of Airfilds, Factory, Ports...ext
    By the, way did you use OnBuildingKilled() function in the Script file? It works well in the single mission for owner.
    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...ad.php?t=31359

    #
    I see
    You are using OnStationaryKilled()
    Hi

    I downloaded the mission You posted and for me it worked off the bat. The only reason for the error message to be displayed that springs to mind is selecting the wrong nation when the Campaign Creation Tool prompts the user to.

    Thank You for the link, I'll look into it as soon as I find the time. I did use solely the OnStationaryKiled() because the destruction of facilities is detected by detecting the destruction of inconspicuous stationary objects which are placed near the facilities in the Full Mission Builder. I decided to do this because some factory buildings were popping a link error when I tried to place them on the map in the FMB.

    At any rate,.enjoy flying .

I mean missions for multiplayer. And this method may not be entirely correct. Waiting when TFS try to solved problem with OnBuildingKilled().



    What does it mean? A single factory can produce up to 10 different types of products or the maximum number of products of one type can be 10?
    It means that You can have ten different products produced by a single factory: artillery, tank, Spitfire, bicycle,... ,product10. Typically, You' ll want a Spitfire I and a Spitfire II produced in a Spitfire factory.

    I have been preparing another release with a few tweaks and fixes. Last week Microsoft Security Essentials, for some reason, quit working after I updated the antivirus databases and rebooted the system. Since the support for this antivirus is going to end next month anyway, I decided to find a lasting solution and, after rolling back the system and making the necessary adjustments to the firewall, I installed AVAST Fre Antivirus. AVAST performs better and, although it was switched off on two occasions when I booted the system up with the router on, it never failed to start after a reboot with the router off. OK, so block another IP range and go back to Cliffs of Dover. Unfortunately, AVAST quarantined it as it was starting and now I' ve nothing to test what I write on. Does anyone know of a version which AVAST will aprove of? Will 4.312 work?

    Re: Get the Self Inflicted Dynamic Campaign while it' s hot

    Hey, I really like this concept i was try to find a good dynamic campaign for this game thanks for that !

    Unfortunately i run into a problem.
    I used your Proto mission to create the dynamic file (in ceiling altitude i put 8000m for all the craft cus i don't know what to put same for range between 200/400 km) however all my fights are free hunt i don't have any objectives my flight leader turn around the airfield same for all the other planes on both side.
