toutenglisse Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, my ingame profile is OK but all my campaigns are inactives and progression zero. Is there a way to get back my progression ?
Mfezi Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I have the same problem. Went from 1.5.8 release to 1.5.8 OB to 2.5. My profiles and logbooks are fine, but all my partially completed campaigns say inactive and I lost my progress. I would really like to fix it rather than to re-start these campaigns.
bolek Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I had the same problem and it turned out to be hard coded paths in the logbook. Shutdown DCS and open Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/MissionEditor/logbook.lua in the editor. Search for ["campaign"] entries. The ones for the official campaigns shipped with the product (paid or free) have path names relative to install directories and should be fine. But the ones that you downloaded yourself may have wrong paths. I had a bunch pointing to Saved Games directory for the DCS 1.5. I changed Saved Games/DCS/ to Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/ and all was well. Of course I also had to copy the campaign files from DCS to DCS.openbeta
toutenglisse Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Thanks for answer. But, with only official campaigns, that is written in logbook.lua : ["campaign"] = "./Mods/aircraft/Flaming Cliffs/Missions/EN/Campaigns/A-10A - The Valley.cmp", ["status"] = "Actife", for exemple, but the campaign is inactive ingame. The same for all, included campaigns or paid.

The same for all, included campaigns or paid. Check the paths anyway, for example on my DCS 2.5 the path for that Campaign is actually: "./Mods/aircraft/Flaming Cliffs/Missions/Campaigns/A-10A - The Valley.cmp", For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
MadDog-IC Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Check the paths anyway, for example on my DCS 2.5 the path for that Campaign is actually: "./Mods/aircraft/Flaming Cliffs/Missions/Campaigns/A-10A - The Valley.cmp", Just to let most of you know, as ED converts missions from single language to multi-language, the missions will be moved from the (ie: EN directory) to the prior directory (ie: Campaigns). This has already happened on a multitude of mission and campaigns, so a side effect as reported here, is that campaign progressing is lost, because the log is pointing to the incorrect paths.

Rudel_chw Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Thanks Ian for pointing it out ... now I know the why of this situation :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
toutenglisse Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 thanks for the answers. I think I messed up - I changed the path in the logbook for 2 campaigns to point to the actual path in DCS openbeta folder, to see if the campaigns would be back active, saved the logbook, ....and ingame that resulted in resetting my profile, resetting the whole logbook.... I don't advise to do the same mess I just did lol.
Mfezi Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I fixed it. It seems there was actually a change in the directory structure, but it wasn't obvious. For example, in my logbook file there was this entry: ["campaign"] = "./Mods/campaigns/Su-27 - The Ultimate Argument/en/en_UltimArgSu-27.cmp", Looking through the actual directory structure, it seems they changed it and the line should be changed to: ["campaign"] = "./Mods/campaigns/Su-27 - The Ultimate Argument/UltimArgSu-27.cmp", Note the "en/en_" that had to be removed. Another example: ["campaign"] = "./Mods/aircraft/Flaming Cliffs/Missions/en/Campaigns/Su-27-Fortress Mozdok.cmp", Had to be changed to: ["campaign"] = "./Mods/aircraft/Flaming Cliffs/Missions/Campaigns/Su-27-Fortress Mozdok.cmp", Note again the "/en" that had to be removed. I'm surprised so few people had this issue. Maybe most people just re-started campaigns anyway?
