Campaign progress script

[1lokos]

One of (many) complains of SP players is the lack of visible progress through campaigns.

For "oficial" and third part campaigns at end of mission is show the default "Statistics" with player air kills (only) and squadron loses, and after a pre-made debriefing screen for success or failure, with the button for fly next mission or restart...

Statistics.jpg

Desastersoft campaigns improve this a bit, though use of custom DLL, showing more details of the mission, over a custom created interface:

http://yoyosims.pl/sites/default/fil...tersoft_15.jpg

REDUX campaign's use an script in a way I don't like, time from time a "score board" is show on screen... like in a football match.

The "Geniok" template from 09/2011 used in "Cliffs of Dover" campaign and other 3rd part has a "parser" for supposed track player kills and show this in next mission briefing, but I an not able to make this work, probable some changes in patches affect that old code.

Digging in "oldSukhoi leftovers of war" I find an old (06/2011) Russian made campaign that include a script that partially "band-aid" this lack.

The script track:

Enemy losses
Side looses
Squadron looses
Player victories

Through:

   int r  =  0;
	bool cmpl = false;
	int cEnemy = 0;
    int cFriendly = 0;
    int cPlayer = 0;
    int MySquad = 0;
   	string b, tx1;
	string[] br = new string[100]; 
	int cEnemyS, 	cFriendlyS, cPlayerS, MySquadS;

- Question; is possible add track for ground kills, for use in bombers campaigns?

So at end of mission, after "Statistics" page you have:

Mission results.jpg

But... an "It's CloD!" (script author point this issue*), notice at top/left of the screen: "Battle Failure", no mater if you/your side won the battle this is showed.

*

The result of the last mission will be displayed in the post-flight briefing; do not pay attention to the inscription on the top left "Battle Failure".

Above text is my interpretation of Google translation from Russian (editable part).

I notice this script has no reference for "Campaign.dll" at top, but have for "//-$debug"
so I add, with the path in the format of 5.00x (third part campaigns in Documents\1C... \custom folder):
//$reference parts/core/Campaign.dll (thanks Varrattu for show the new path).

But this don't change the "Battle Failure" screen...

The script - UPDATE - Fixed the Battle Failure/Success screen

Briefing contains (text is my interpretation of Google translation from Russian):

[2] Is show at end of mission, in the "Mission Failure" (why?) screen

Intro
<Description>
May, 23rd. Early morning.
Yesterday our squadron was transferred from the main airfield Hornchurch to Ramsgate, closer to the main events in which we will soon become participants. And events are clearly not unfolding in our favor. In Europe, the British expeditionary forces were recently cut off from the main forces of the Allies in France, and the continued rapid offensive of the Germans could lead to their complete surrender. Of course, unless a miracle happens.

Beautiful sunrise. The morning spring sun distracts from gloomy thoughts about the war, thoughts go into pleasant memories of girls, pubs and other joys of a young gentleman.

But the pre-flight briefing instantly reminds us of the reality. Our squadron starts fighting. 

Objective: fly to the area south of Dunkirk, patrol over the coastal strip from Dunkirk harbor to the front line south of Dunkirk itself. 
If you spot an enemy aircraft, shoot him down. 
Considering that you will be patrolling over the front line, there is a high probability of encountering German bombers, whose activity in this area has been very high in recent days.

PLAYER: Mission start in the air on the way to the first patrol checkpoint. The patrol tasks will be considered completed when all checkpoints have been passed and several German aircraft have been shot down, or after 15 minutes of patrolling.

Update after play the second mission of campaign, all work as expected, but are a line in Cyrilics that I don't figure where is, and this pre made comments need be very neutral, because in the last mission Squad lost 2 planes, but the text say that have no losses.

Statistics-3.jpg

The script has a second part - that I remove; what check, through "passThru" triggers if player reach each mission checkpoint (waypoint) and show that... "football score board".

But this part of script can be used for more useful things, for example, tell player the HDG for next waypoint. Latter I post this part (forum message has 20.000 characters limit).

[1lokos]

I think the use of "Battle Failure" screen is because the script, made in CloD "stone-age" (06/2011), don't use:

  if (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place() == aircraft)
        {
            Campaign.battleSuccess = true;

            isComplete = true;

How add this - without broken the rest?

...this pre made comments need be very neutral, because in the last mission Squad lost 2 planes, but the text say that have no losses.

I think this misleading comments happens because the script use an "football match score" logic for trigger this comment:

j = (cEnemy - cFriendly);
if (j==0)
 {
 if (cEnemy > 0) 			
 else

In the last mission squadron 'j' ends equals to '0' (2-2), a draw, which in football can be a good result.

BTW - This script is way more interesting and smaller than "Geniok" script, what just given 100 points for each successful mission, and show in next mission briefing "Your score: 100" (part that don't work).

					StreamWriter f = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\campaign\custom\campaign_Spitfires_over_Dunkik\m2.briefing");

For the next, always add mission number (m#) in the 3 last paths.
e.g.

"C:\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\campaign\custom\campaign_Spitfires_o ver_Dunkik\m2.briefing"

The first path always refer to previous mission:

"C:\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\campaign\custom\campaign_Spitfires_o ver_Dunkik\m1.txt"

Note sure if this "C:\Documents" is needed. Will cause issues if player have Documents folder outside of C:\ (mine is in D:\)

Saw this once in a post

Hi 1lokos,

Thanks for for posting (and correcting!) this script.

There is one part I don't understand - there are four triggers in the script. Are these part of the script for campaign progress tracking, or do they belong to the specific mission that this script is used with?

Reason: I am interested in updating some other campaigns to use this script, but if these triggers are required for the campaign progress script then will I also need to edit each mission in FMB as well as adding the script as a missionname.cs file (and of course adding the three txt files m#)?

Thank you

M

The trigger in the script give me a big headache.

Since I have no clue about C# need do "trial and error" (many).

Seems the triggers are not need for count the kills, but for check if player did the "mission tasks" - fly through missions waypoint's, when this happens you a #2, #3... in screen.

Some waypoint's trigger a action (e.g. spawn an enemy group), and these instead show #2.. show a message, e.g. "Waypoint reached".
E.g. waypoint number 3 trigger have "if (++r == 4)" so the condition for show the message is matched. Others have, e.g. "(r < 4) ".

Seems that if player do some number of "tasks" (pass through a number of waypoint's) the results is saved, and a message "Mission tasks accomplished" is added in "score" page.

Thing is that I don't figure the logic of this "r"...

I see that waypoint 1 trigger #2...

A attempts in modify use this trigger for other use, eg. show different messages result in errors "out of matrix" and broken the whole script.

So as "band-aid" solution I remove the messages from triggers and leave the triggers doing their thing, just set a waypoint for the trigger that have the
"if (++r == 4)" for results to be saved.

And add others trigger with number after the last for other uses.

Another question, seems that for remove the triggers is need change the count kills script, I think this "private void SaveRezult (bool CComplite) is related with the triggers, as some triggers have this part:

SaveRezult (true) ;
cmpl = true;

Hope that you understand my confusion.

BTW - IMHO, this "campaign progress" resume at end of missions add much for the campaign, giving a sense of purpose.

Hello mission builders,

in many SC files one can find

< //-$debug >

May someone explain what the command is for?

Can you post an example file or link.

Sorry, it should be 'CS' file

It looks like a debug directive that the developer used when making the mission. But what you posted would not compile. You need to post a sample file or link so I can see exactly what you are talking about.
