    Old Campaigns question

    Can I transfer older campaigns to the new Mission/Campaign folder along with campaign ini & campaign.bak file so they sit alongside of the new DWT campaigns & have them work? I do seem to have a "Custom" folder there now and wonder what its purpose is?

    Re: Old Campaigns question

    "Custom" folder is for you install any 3rd part made campaign.

    Keeping old campaign's installed inside "parts/bob" you are risking that an Steam file validation game update broke/erase then.

    Do i need to only do old fully loadedcampaigns in the 1C Softclub"Custom" folder? No longer do I need to keep them over in Steamapps/Common /Clod folder? I don't need to put 'empty" folders in 1c Softclub install? I think I might have to do a full re-install of all my old favorite campaigns because of the way they do & don't install in the in-game Campaign screen.

    You need only the "custom" folder in Documents\1C... as explained by Artist in this other topic.

    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...ad.php?t=34002

    I move all my campaigns for custom, and work OK.

    Do you include the old" campaign ini" with them?In other words do I still need it& need it to match all those old campaigns?

    Copy the old "Campaign.ini" ( in SteamAppsz\il-2...._ for the root of the "custom" folder in Documents.


    - All I need for 3rd party campaigns are inside the folder "custom" - minus custom skins.

    But delete from this copy of Campaign.ini the references for Campaign_gb and Campaign_de (the game 'default' campaign).

    And in the "Campaign.ini that remain in "SeamApps\il-2... delete all references for other campaigns, leave only the two, _gb and _de.

    Re: Old Campaigns question

    OK i'M SURE i'M ALMOST THERE, BUT SOMETHING ISN'T CLICKING IN. i'VE GOT MOST OF MY OLDER CAMPAIGNS IN PLACE INTHE "cUSTOM FOLDER AND i THINK I'VE GOT MY CAMPAIGN.INI INLINE WITH THEM, BUT IN-GAME THE ONLY ONES SHOWING UP FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE REDUX CAMPAIGNS, NONE OF THE REST.(Forgive me I had all caps on my mistake...) Now these are the only "old" campaigns in the two CloD Blitz folders, so in my way of thinking they should work just fine, but they do not.any advice?

    Probable you have "Redux" listed in the campaign.ini in the custom folder and in campaign.ini in SteamApps\il-2...

    Yes I understand that & its not a problem really .My real problem is that none of the other old campaigns listed in Custom Folder are showong up in-game.I believe they are all correctly listed in the campaign .ini file. As of now they are only in the 1c Softclub Mission/Campaign/Custom folder & nowhere else, but still no joy and I can't figure out why or how to solve same.?

    For those campaigns in "Custom" folder you need a "Campaign.ini" in the root of "Custom" folder, like in my picture above.

    And look inside of all campaing's in custom folder if have a file: Campaign.mis (a map reference), if this file is lacking, campaigns don't appear in game menu.

    I have two campaign's without this campaing.mis file, so copy from others and went OK,the file seems just a default reference for Channel map, and standard weather settings.

    Re: Old Campaigns question

    Your "campaign.ini" for "custom" folder looks OK, list 15 campaign's and their respective folders, but in this picture

    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...0&d=1599780856

    are 17 campaigns folders.

    "BoB1940v2" and "Spitfire_on_my_ tail_part2" are no listed in your campaign.ini

    BTW - Just a curiosity, did you end any of these campaigns?

    Quite correct those didn't match so I removed them.I also cleaned out all the campaign folders in Steam Game folder.I left them there but empty.I then did a "verify Integrity of Local Files" thru Steam. This put three new things in parts/bob/mission/campaign: "campaign_de , campaign-gb, AND a campaign.ini that included these two and obviously nothing more. So now I had a correct CUSTOM folder ( I hope) and a cleaned Steam campaign folder(s) as well. I started the sime & the results were exactly the same in Campaign : I did have the gb & de versions of the REDUX campaign but all else remained as before.None of the other 13 or so campaigns showed up. I can't think of what else to do,except start all over entering each camapign one at a time in the Custom folder, but gee that's a lot of work! Anyother bright ideas to try?
    Thanks for your patience

    This part is correct too, leave the "precious" "_gb" and "_de" campaigns and their "Campaign.ini" in parts/bob/mission/campaign - and never touch then again.

    I can't think of what else to do,except start all over entering each camapign one at a time in the Custom folder,...
    Copy files again and again will not change the situation, the issue is not there, but in ".ini file, game know about your campaing's by reading the "Campaign.ini" - not looking for folders.

    Looking better I find some errors in your ".ini" some campaign tittles have '_' in title and this prevent the game list then in campaign menu (I test there).

    Example:
    title campaign_KG.53.Legion_Kondor
    Should by:
    title campaign KG.53.Legion Kondor

    Other detail, "Cliffs of Dover REDUX" are named just "Cliffs of Dover", name already used by default campaign, why you have the same name two times in the above picture.

    Copy this for you "campaign.ini" - in "custom" folder and test.

    Code:
    [Main]
    campaign_Battle_of_Britain
    campaign_Battle_of_France
    campaign_Dunkirk
    campaign_Bristol_Blenheim
    campaign_gbREDUX
    campaign_deREDUX
    campaign_II.StG.1
    campaign_III.JG2
    campaign_III.JG26
    campaign_Erpr.Gr.210
    campaign_I.KG.54

    [campaign_III.JG26]
    folder campaign_III.JG26
    title Jagdgeschwader 26 (JG 26) Schlageter
    image Poster.bmp

    Notice that I use more "pompous" names for some Luftwaffe campaign, e.g. Zerstörergeschwader 26 (ZG 26) "Horst Wessel" , for show that campaign title don't need match campaign folder name.

    Other detail, game only ready this ".ini" list during start, so if Alt+Tab and change something in files, need re-start the game for see this changes.

    Re: Old Campaigns question

    Last word ( I promise!)
    After fiddling around all morning , trying out all the various ways of making campaigns work in game , this is what worked.First I edited to old campaigns to a few I might like to try again ( after all we now have all those Desert Wing Tobuk SM's & campaigns to do don't we?) With this edited list & corresponding edited campaign.ini I was ready to go.First i placed this in the 1cSoftclub Mission/Campaign/Custom folderand started sim. No luck. I took the same folders & campaign .ini and against your advice placed them in steamapps/Common/CloD/parts/bob/campaign folder along with the existing folders of campaign_de & campaign_gb and combined the new campaign ini with the default one found there( see included screenshot.0 Started sim and Viola -this worked! There were all the campaign "officially' in game! I'm quitting while ahead, but first i'll make a copy of the afore mentioned Campaign folders just in case they get changed or eliminated from some future update...
    Many thanks for for suggestions they did help with this minor but irritating problem!Maybe this string of posts may help someone else ..I hope so

    LOL. You end in the same place you start.

    But I bet that the correct campaign.ini I post above solve the problem with the correct solution.
