Here, tell me if it works.

Miguel, you've done it! Works like a charm! Thank you so much.

Hello. After updating the ScriptsMod I cannot generate any Intercept tasks. I've checked different campaigns and same problem appears. When testing my campaign, I receive the following error:

Can anyone reproduce this bug?

EDIT:

I've reverted to the previous version of ScripsMod and the intercept mission generated nicely.

Hi guys,

Question. I am running a Harrier PG campaign. I am tasked to bomb an airfield. Hangers to be precise. I hit it with a 1000 pound bomb but hanger remains. How many bombs does it take to get destructrion?

interesting message ^^
I've been working on the problem and I've discovered two things:
we have to wait 1 second after the impact to launch the script of detection of the level of life of the buildings, DCE did not do it.

- we reported a bug to ED on the announced value of the initial life of the buildings
example:
healt0: 1000
After Hit: 1500
After His 1s: 1233

We'll see if ED fixes this quickly, if not we'll set up a life level memory system, like on the Boats.

If not, the future scriptsMod will be able to improve this by detecting 1s after

in fact, the calculation after one second and the simplification of the "declaration" of destroyed building has already been added in the last update of DCE 30.63.302.

Even if the building was not visually destroyed, did DCE count it as destroyed during the debriefing ? (if it is indeed an item listed in the targetList of this campaign)

No I didin't. The airfield in question is Bandar-e-Jask. I bombed the two fuel tanks (these were not the target so no report), The big hanger to the north and the 'hanger' to the east of it (a building part of the scenery). Both buildings are named as targets in the mission brief (airfield attack, 6 hangars from memory).

The weird thing is, it only seems to apply to player flights. Pure AI flights make short work of those same targets.

That was 20.61.286. I just updated to 20.63.302. I will  report if I see this issue again.

Separate question- is it possible to "win" a DCE campaign (short of reducing all the enemy's units to zero)?

yes
although this is a part we don't test often ^^
What campaign are you playing with now?

[Gorn557]

IRIAF Tanker War. And I'm having a great time with it, I was just wondering if the usual end state was someone deciding "I've flown enough of this campaign" once they get to 50 missions or something. Sounds like it is 

BTW I got a very similar error to Barthek the last time I tried to generate a mission but I didn't get a picture of it- I will if it happens again.

Ah, yes, I can see a condition of defeat, but not of victory.
That said, this is a campaign created by @Polia

He probably wanted to make a historical campaign, and that there is no end to it....

[Miguel21]

oops, wait, I said something wrong.
I don't have the right version

The campaign is over when you pass the
20/08/1988

Can I close this by myself? After the new ScriptMod version is loaded the window doesnt close itself. When I close it by myself its still the old version showing as installed.

While pushing Reset there comes this message.
nullIts really sad that such a great product has so many problems

[Barthek]

Rename the old "ScriptsMod.NG" in Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\DCE\ to "ScriptsMod.NG_old" and run the updater again. See if it helps.

Hi

The DCE WW2 is no longer monitored by its designer, so it will be difficult to help you.

I can guide you on some tips, but I don't guarantee that it will work.

1/ open the Init/base_mission.miz with the DCS mission editor, move a ground unit a few meters, and save the mission (this puts that mission in the latest DCS standart)

2/ your error message appears because mod MissionScripting is not installed or used properly, see the FAQ in my signature to fix this.

3/Use DCE_Manager to install the campaigns "correctly" and download the latest version of ScriptMod

4/ Generate a new firstMission so that all path information is correctly registered in the mission.

Hope this helps.

For some reason, after reinstalling my campaigns, I can't get them to progress to the next mission, or stay active, they all just say inactive in-game. How do I fix this? It *may* have been answered already, but I didn't go through 146 pages of posts to find an answer, my apologies for that. I have quite a few of these campaigns installed, but I'm really only currently playing Crisis in PG - Warthog and Crisis in PG - Viper. 

 

Also, is there a way to play concurrently in SP and in MP? I'm trying to play the Warthog campaign with a friend while also playing it on my own, is that at all possible? Or can I only play it once basically?

/1/
At the end of a mission, does the DOS window open automatically to propose you to accept or not the result of the mission?
If you do not have this window, it is because the script_mod (sanitize) is not installed, it must be reinstalled after each update of DCS.

/2/
Do you (also) accept the mission in DCS?

/3/
Yes, you can continue a campaign in SP or MP on the same PC.
However, if you use a dedicated server, it is more complicated, but feasible. You have to edit the path in the camp_status of the .miz file.

A basic question, do i always have to quit DCS after each mission and start it again to be able to load the new mission generated? or is there a smart way to refreash the mission list in the campaign?
