DCE Campaigns

[Krag6]

Hey PB0_CEF, the name of the Viper might actually be 16CM_50

[D3fact0]

It seems that my folder "Falcon campaign" in Init folder causes that : delete it and it should work !

Sorry for that :(

 

It was that problem, thank You! But now when I exit the first mission get this error.

[PB0_CEF]

Did you install the mission_script mod (see readme file) ?

I think yes.

[Mith86Arg]

Sry if this was answered before, but is there any guide for using / creating / editing with this engine?

Same here :(

Can you see that the encoding of the DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\MissionScripting file is in utf-8

 

(as well as all LUA files that you have modified in DCE)

 

 

You can see it with notepad++

 

 

EDIT:

2nd possibility:

Disable your anti-virus to fly and generate your next mission with SkipMission.bat

Otherwise, while waiting to fix this end-of-mission problem, you can continue the campaign by using :

DEBUG_DebriefMission.lua

Yes it is but if you make a custom payload and look in x:\Users\Sessionname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor\UnitPayloads

the f-16 name is F-16C_50 !

Can you please look in you installation for the name of the new F-16C folder in which you will install the DCE campaign please ?

Yes, the LUA file is in UTF-8 format and I dont change any other files. Where I can find DEBUG_DebriefMission.lua? I found only DEBUG_DebriefMission.bat. I attached printscreen with window which popup after I clicked on FirstMission.bat and I think it doesn't look like it should.

[PB0_CEF]

Not a specialist but can you try to launch DCS in admin mod or move the game outside of program files folder may be ? (Just my 2 cents :music_whistling:)

It seems I found solution. I changed the format of MissionScripting.lua from UTF-8 to ANSI and it works. I tried generete few missions without any errors.

Thank You guys for your help. Now lets fly :)

[PB0_CEF]

Cool :thumbup:

Sorry for that :(

 

I am sorry I don't understand. I cannot see "Falcon campaign" folder inside Init folder. I am trying to start falcon campaign but it hangs on a loading screen.

 

I updated the path in the camp_init.lua to path = "Mods/aircraft/F-16C/Missions/EN/Campaigns/Falcon over PG/" as this is the correct path and screen hangs. Without it campaign is not visible at all.

I removed This folder from Init Folder :thumbup:

 

 

Please change the path in the "Falcon over PG.cmp" file too

[D3adCy11nd3r]

@Miguel21 & @PB0_CEF you two are amazing, now if only ED would implement this system into the actual game and give you both a fat check for your efforts.

 

 

and Miguel, thanks for the random failures being added in as well.

Mbot is the first one to be thanked :thumbup:

Well thank him too.

 

 

 

The random failures do not seem to be generated however. it should show the failures in the sortie gen right?

Thank you PB0_CEF but this still doesn't work. I updated all paths in the cmp file but it still hangs on loading.

 

I uploaded my files here so you can have a look. I am happy to help with any troubleshooting required.

It seems good ...

Did you generate a new mission ? It doesn't hang on any more for me but of course I can't test the campaign further because I don't own Falcon's module :music_whistling:

[itarrow]

I did what in the readme and then what Zortex did but I'm not even able to see the Campaign in game (within the campaign session of the F16 selection menu)...

 

It seems we'll better wait...

[Miguel21]

Hi;)

I "hid" the failure lines during mission generation, because we're not supposed to know our future failures^^

 

If you want the credits, remove the 2 characters "--" in front of line 83 of Scripts\ATO_FlightPlan.lua

 

You must also select in Init\conf_mod.lua: line 19

failure = true,

 

ATTENTION, these changes are made with notepad++ AND checking that the encoding of the .lua file(s) remains in UTF8 (or possibly in ANSI, but here I have a doubt)

Yes I have and it still hangs on a loading screen before you can see the list of modules and respective campaigns.

Try this in Falcon over PG.cmp file :

 

 

["necessaryUnits"] =

{

["F-16C"] = "F-16C",

}, -- end of ["necessaryUnits"]
