Fix for M-2000 campaign gone inactive


Recommended Posts

Posted

On Discord, one user found that the campaign progress in the official M-2000 campaign had gotten lost with the latest DCS 2.5.5 OpenBeta. This is likely to happen to the Stable branch as well (and may well have happened there already; I'm a few updates behind on my stable).

 

The reason was the release of the new Coup d'etat campaign, so the old one was moved to a new subdirectory, but the campaign progress wasn't updated. In turn, DCS "lost" all campaign progress.

 

If you have the same problem (the campaign was active, but now DCS shows it as inactive), there's an easy fix.

 

The logbook needs to be updated.

 

You can find your logbook progress in the following file:

 

DCS Stable

Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\logbook.lua

 

DCS OpenBeta

Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor\logbook.lua

 

Fire up your favorite file browser and head to that directory.

 

First task: create a backup of that file. :)

(Copy and Paste the file; that would give you "logbook - Copy.lua", which is quite sufficient).

 

Next, open it in your favorite text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime, vi, whatever ;))

 

Within the logbook.lua, look for your M-2000 campaign progress. There should be a line like this:

 

["campaign"] = "./Mods/aircraft/M-2000C/Missions/Campaigns/M-2000C Campaign.cmp",

 

The campaign was moved to the sub directory /Caucasus - South Ossetia/, so all you need to do is add this sub directory to the logbook like so:

 

[b]["campaign"] = "./Mods/aircraft/M-2000C/Missions/Campaigns/Caucasus - South Ossetia/M-2000C Campaign.cmp",[/b]

 

Save the logbook, fire up DCS, and your campaign progress should be restored. :thumbup:
