How do I change what stage im on in the campaign

[Alkaline]

Hi,

 

Since the patch, my campaign has been reset. Is there possible to modify a file or something so I can set where I was before?

 

Regards, Alkaline

Campaign progress and all your log data is stored in a file called logbook.lua, and this is the default path to it:

 

C:\Users\{Your Windows Username}\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\logbook.lua

 

It's a Lua file that can be edited with, for example, Notepad++

 

If the campaign progress hasn't been wiped from the file, you should be able to adjust it. If it has, you could ask here if someone can post a logbook file with campaign progress intact so that you can copy & paste and then adjust it.

Yes we are aware of the change and updating all the installers.

 

To preserve the campaign progress you can do the following:

 

You can manually set the campaign stage in your logbook file. If you don't have it, download and install Notepad++. This editor allows for proper editing of lua files. Make a backup copy before you do any manual editing just in case.

 

To change the campaign stage look for a file called: <Drive>:\Users\<your userid>\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\logbook.lua

 

You can change the stage here:

 

["games"] =

{

[1] =

{

["created"] = "05/06/2013 4:28:32 PM",

["player"] = "Me",

["campaign"] = "./mods/aircrafts/Su-25T/Missions/en/Campaigns/Georgian Oil War - Grand Campaign.cmp",

["status"] = "Active",

["history"] =

{

[1] = <---- Select the section with the largest number - that is your latest entry.

{

["datetime"] = "05/06/2013 4:31:09 PM",

["agKills"] = 0,

["aaKills"] = 0,

["stage"] = 3, <----- Set this number to a different stage in the campaign.

["deathsCount"] = 0,

["result"] = 0,

["mission"] = "ATO-A-P3.4.miz", <--- Set this to the mission name.

}, -- end of [1]

}, -- end of ["history"]

}, -- end of [1]

}, -- end of ["games"]
