However, I am having new issues when trying to generate a new mission on "Hornet over PG.NG" I have used DCE Manager to do a fresh install (ticked overwrite existing ScriptsMod), then updated the ScriptsMod.NG to 20.53.188. No other applications are open. Then I have set the two new sliders to "3" in the configuration file. Here are a couple of screenshots of the errors. Cheers!

Miguel21 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Thank you in fact, this system reveals an old bug on the trigger_init concerning the victory conditions. I join you a file that fixes it automatically. On the other hand, you will have another bug on the loadout and the F16, we will see how to do. Concerning your error window of DCE_Manager, you must have a file (addcommandF10) opened/locked/planted by another program. I suggest you to try again the download just after the reboot of your pc DC_CampaignSettings.lua Edited December 30, 2021 by Miguel21 FAQ DCE (Cef & Miguel'version) In case of problem with a mission generated by CEF's DCEs, please post as many elements as possible: - the mission + the tacview + a screenshot of the bug window + Give the name of the campaign + version of the scriptsMod DCE_Manager News : Crisis in Persian Gulf, one campaign, 13 modules (29/12/2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch75 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hi Miguel,Thanks for your reply. I have tried to reinstall the dce campaign in safe mode which seemed to work ok, but unable to update due to access to internet being prohibited in safe mode. So I then rebooted to normal and tried to update ScriptsMod, still getting that "file in use" error. I have no idea what other app could be using it . I copied in the file you provided.I did notice, though, that DCE-manager was accessing a different (older) conf_mod.lua file (from the UI Configuration button) as it did not have the new slider lines included. Yet, I opened the conf_mod.lua manually with notepad++, and the two new lines were there.Overall, when I tried to start a new mission, the F-16 errors came up, as you said, and the process stopped without the Mission being generated.Cheers!ScotchSent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk W10 Home 64Bit, Intel Skylake I5 6600K 3.50GHz, ASUS ROG Stryx Z270F MoBo, 32GB G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4 3200 RAM, Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD (OS), Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD, 2TB Seagate SDHD, 2TB WD Green HDD, GALAX GTX GeForce 1070 EXOC Sniper White 8GB VRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adriansito123 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi Miguel, this is the first time I play one of your dynamic campaigns. When starting the first mission a message appears on the up-right corner of the screen saying the following: WARNING: sanitizeModule('os') in MissionScripting.lua has not been disabled. Mission results will not be accounted nd campaign will not progress. I have tried editing said file but with no results, the warning keeps popping up every time. Any advice?

PhoenixRising Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have enjoyed DCE campaigns. Does anyone have a good way to create a kneeboard page from the waypoints and waypoint arrival times?

norman99 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I've a small question. I have a small script which adds a fuel check radio call to the F10 menu, to which any aircraft in the players group respond with their fuel state (currently via text output only). It's great to keep an eye on the AI, and send them to the tanker or RTB early enough that they don't just bingo and eject. I usually add this to any mission I play. If I add my script to the base .miz file in a campaigns inuit folder, will this then be included in all the subsequently generated missions? If this won't work, I assume I can add a line to one of the scripts to add it to generated missions, I'm just not sure which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not yours, could you tell me where you can download it? So I can see if it's "allowed" to implement this script in third party campaigns, and at least quote its creator?
