Hi, I think the problem is solved now. Please try this new version and report back how it works. http://www.filefactory.com/file/af1d5b1/n/RaMGen102c_zip The program was using nation's name to search available skins in meinit.xml, so it didn't work for Russian version. Now it uses nation's code instead.

Thanks for the info. I will investigate it further.

Your pilot's live status should be 'alive' at mission start to log the mission result. If your pilot was killed in the last mission and you refly the mission without 'revive' him, the result won't be recorded in the log book anymore. This is one of the annoying LockOn's limitations. So when your pilot is 'dead', exit LockOn, run RaMGen and 'revive' him in the 'Pilot' screen, and run LockOn again and refly. If your flight is in the log book, RaMGen can take data from it in the 'Debriefing' screen and the stats will recieve correct data.

Hi JEFX, please try this version and report back how it works on your environment. I think the problem was solved. RaMGen: Random Mission Generator v1.02b for LOFC http://www.filefactory.com/file/afgdccg/n/RaMGen102b_zip ATTENTION: This is a trial version. Please do not use this version unless you have problems on version 1.02. This version is not verified well yet. As mentiond by ataribaby, the difference of the decimal separator between the countries was the problem. Most countries use 'period' as the decimal separator, but some countries use 'comma'. This caused the error when the program tried to read data from external files. I think 1.02b fixed this issue. If it works as planned, I will release it as 1.03.

I have received same error report at lockonfiles.com and I am investigating the issue right now. I think I can sort it out without taking much time. And please move to the newer RaMGen thread to prevent confusions. Thank you. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=36455

Version 1.02 is now available. You can download zip package from here http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=188&lid=1280&ttitle=RaMGen:_Random_Mission_Generator_v1.02_for_LOFC#dldetails or here http://www.filefactory.com/file/a02e70b/n/RaMGen102_zip You can overwrite the older version and your options and campaign progress will be kept. Version 1.02 - Convoy group which is stuck at start point is fixed. - Enemy interceptor group which sometimes fly from friendly airbase is fixed. - Mission evaluation improved. - Campaign progress evaluation tweaked. - Aircraft carrier heading corrected.

Thanks for the comments, people. Of course I want to add more features. - More mission tasks, especially naval operations (fleet vs. fleet) for Su-33. - AI helicopter groups. - More ground battle locations. - More mission target types such as bridges and ships. - Briefing map and more... I think I can add the coalition editing at some point. I wanted to add the ramp start option, but it's very difficult because of the timing problem. There are no trigger event options in Lock On to make good coordination of other AI groups possible. I'm not sure about Homebase selectability and CAW compatibility yet. But I will think about all suggestions anyway.

Thanks, I did.:)

It's very difficult at this point. Thanks for the feedback. Looks like my code has some bugs. Do you have this issue always or sometimes?

I fixed a small bug and released version 1.01. See the first post. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: Version 1.03 is released. You can download zip package from here http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=188&lid=1367&title=RaMGen:%20Random%20Mission%20Generator%201.03%20for%20LOFC#dldetails or here http://www.filefactory.com/file/af3f8df/n/RaMGen103_zip Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is necessary to run this program. The component is available from Microsoft Update: http://update.microsoft.com/ RaMGen Features - Mission generator which can produce highly randomized mission every time. - Campaign system in which front line moves based on player's achievement. - Various types of mission tasks. - Numerous options of difficulty, weather, pilots, skins and weapons you can customize as you like. - Mod support on skin and weapon selections. - Map aspect ratio correction for wide screen monitor. Version 1.03 - A decimal separator problem on certain Windows localizations solved. - Russian version of Flaming Cliffs supported. - "Name" button to switch weapon names between the original and the modified ones.

OK, I will add the option to the next version which will be released soon with campaign mode.

Beta3 is available now. See the first post. Beta3 Limitations - No campaign mode Added Elements in Beta3 - Airbase air defense - 3 new mission tasks (Fighter Sweep, Attack Escort, Runway Attack) - 12 new ground battle locations

It should run without LOMAC installed. Maybe I messed up the code somewhere... There will be campaign mode. The whole project is designed to make it possible. But please do not expect too much. The system will be very simple. And there are no plans for DCS at this moment. Actually I don't have DCS yet. You can just unzip and run RaMGen.exe. Please check your .NET Framework is up-to-date. I will check the code, too.

Beta2 is available now. See the first post. Bata2 Changes - 3 new mission tasks (Intercept, Building Attack, SEAD) - 2 new battle locations - Enabled "Extra Traffic" option

Thank you for the comment, Jace. OK, I think I can make Migs operate only from the airbases closer to the target area. LockOn has an annoying bug that AI planes can not use external fuel. So some aircrafts like MiG-29 can not fly long range. Sorry, I forgot to tell .NET Framework is needed to run this. You can get it free from Microsoft. And, Beta2 is coming soon...

EDIT: Beta3 is available now. http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=188&lid=1280&title=RaMGen:%20Random%20Mission%20Generator%20Beta3%20for%20LOFC#dldetails or http://www.filefactory.com/file/a007304/n/RaMGenBeta3_zip Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is necessary to run this program.
