[ALL MODULES][SP/CO-OP] Liberation Dynamic Campaign

[LooseSeal]

Has anyone else ever got a "Mission script error" when loading up the next mission? Specifically, it says [string "..."]:15: '}' expected near 'lah' - you can play through the mission, but the results aren't detected and the state.json file isn't updated.

I've replaced the MissionScripting file, but it isn't working. Ran a DCS repair then replaced it again. Still nothing. Kinda run out of ideas.

Does unit culling work for anyone?  I started a Syria Allied Sword and set the unit culling in the campaign settings to 200km.  

When I get into the mission units 270 miles (~430km) away from my carrier are spawned.  Any suggestions?

EDIT: Disregard, I did not understand what the exclusion zones were and how they worked.

When can we expect the Apache to be a flyable module in Liberation?

Liberation 5.2.0 supports the new Apache.

I wonder if anyone has this error. I was playing with DLC yesterday without any issue but somehow today the program does not open any longer with this error. Anyone can give me some hints how to solve the problem?

Does anybody else experience freezes/lockups when the F-14 is part of the campaign?

Especially when returning from a mission so after 30+ minutes or so. 
 

Does Liberation do aynthing special that is causing this behaviour?

Haven't been able to check this out yet, but is there by now perhaps also a new scenario with better focus on helo ops? (relatively short distances etc.)

I've actually never been able to fully complete a campaign without some sort of scripting error that I have to work out.  I think my record so far is about 3/4 of the way through a campaign.

We're in the Persian Gulf - Scenic Route campaign. It got time to start transferring planes so we clicked on the 'Air Wing' button to pick a squad and we got this message, and it won't go away unless you hit OK or ESC about 20 times. Does anyone know a cure?? Thanks!!

Hi folks.  Are the "Community Campaigns" on the Liberation Github page compatible with 5.2?  Say, a campaign that is for 5.0?  Or earlier?  Thanks.

Campaigns from version 5 or 5.1 should still be compatible with 5.2. Campaigns from earlier versions are not.

Thanks!

This might be a stupid question and I´m sorry if it already has been answered or is totally obvious ...

But where do I find the radio frequency of my own flight ? All others (ATC, Awacs, JTAC...) are on the kneeboard, but I can´t find the own for my wingman.

Edit: Never mind, I found it. It´s on the kneeboard.

Can someone clarify this? If I want to play the same mission over and over without submitting results - how can I do it? I don't want to run Liberation app, but then I'm getting script errors.

[Gianky]

If I undrestand correctly what you're asking, if you don't like the outcome of a mission you just have to click on "abort" (IIRC) in Liberation interface after you finish the mission in DCS and the program (LIberation) will ignore what happened in the sim.

Also, if you save your mission in Liberation before pushing the "Take off" button, you just have to reload the save and you can keep playing the same mission over and over again.

Yeah, I got that. But what I want is not to have Liberation app running while playing a mission. When I  do that I'm getting a script error whenever the mission is trying to write its stats to the disk.

How can you control the altitude of AI flights.  Right now I'm trying to do a WW2 liberation and the B-17s want to fly at 8000 feet.

Sorry, I never tried to do that. Have you tried to just acknowledge the error message, pressing oK? Everything should work fine afterwards.

Yes, I did, but the script would fail every N minutes because the mission is trying to save stats. I'm kinda surprised that such a well thought and well developed app is missing a use-case when a mission could be run as stand alone.

Open the "liberation.nextturn.miz" in the ME, Save As [cool filename here], and close the ME. Run the mission you just saved over and over and over. Then, when you are ready to move on, run Liberation normally and save your results.

Actually no, it still requires Liberation app to run on a background. Well, I guess it is a limitation that I can live with, not a big deal.

[Gianky]

I'm afraid the only way is to get rid of the script by editing the mission in ME, but it could take you a while to find it, and there's no certainty that erasing it won't cause other errors.

A little more thinking on my part, because I know I have used my method before. Forgot a part.

One of the things that Lib does when you run it is it replaces the default MissionScripting.lua in your DCS\Scripts folder with one of its own. And then it switches them back when it closes. I had forgotten that part.

You can force the issue on your own, either manually or with a batch file.

• Make a copy of your [DCS]\Scripts\MissionScripting.lua. Save it is a different folder.
• Replace the original DCS file with the MissionScripting.lua file found in [Liberation]\resources\scripts
• Run DCS and run your mission. You should not see any more errors (from this issue anyway.
• You can leave it as-is afterwards or, once you are finished switch back the original file that you saved in the first step.

 

You could write a batch file to do this for you, or just handle it manually whenever you want to replay liberation missions.

I just tested this process this evening. I got no script errors after changing the lua.

Hi!

I'm trying to implement a mod, following the guides at https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/wiki/Modded-Aircraft-Support and https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/wiki/Developer's-Guide . The problem is that I can't run Liberation. I tried running it from source in PyCharm but I get this error:

Is there something I'm missing? Alternatively, is there a way to integrate a mod without using the dev branch?null

Great work with Liberation as it is, by the way!
