Batch Mission Updater

[doveman]

It seems every update breaks missions and it's very annoying to play a mission only to find, sometimes after wasting considerable time, that it doesn't work properly. The solution appears to be to load the mission in the ME and re-save it but that's obviously rather tedious if the player has a lot of missions and he can't really be expected to do this for every mission after each update (adding a tag to each mission when saving, to keep track of which have been updated).

 

So my wish is for a batch mission updater, that users can run either from a Start Menu link or an option in the GUI, that will automatically re-save every mission/campaign with the current version, so that the user can just do this once after each update and after that, choose and play any mission without having to worry that it might not work.

+1 for the idea but I don't think it will be 100% fool-proof.

 

Sometimes the engine is changed such that even saving in the current ME won't fix the mission (especially if they change the way a trigger works or a default setting). Some mission editing may be required to meet the initial intent. Still a good idea and I support it.

 

I'll add to your request and ask the DEVs please no NUCs (Non-Upward Compatible changes).
