Importing Templates from 1.01c to 1.02?

[AKA_Clutter]

All,

 

I installed the patch over my 1.01 install. Took a couple of tries, but seems to work fine. I did note that it replace my templates with a blank set. I found the templates.bs file in the DCS\BlackShark\Blackshark directory in my 1.01 backup and placed in the same folder in my 1.02 install.

 

When I go to try and chose a template, it shows all the names, but then the game locks and Alt-Tab shows several "error" screens.

 

Does anyone know how I might get my tempatles back into 1.02 without reinstalling.

 

Thanks,

Clutter :pilotfly:

I can give you a default template file - I assume the 1.0.2 file format may have changed since 1.0.1c

Remember, always make backups before you replace any files ;)

 

As for importing - you may need to check the content and manually moving over content in a proper LUA-format, using Notepad++ or Notepad2 I guess.

templates.rar

Format has changed. A way to "import" them is to have a 1.01 mission with all template groups placed in it and then re-save the templates in 1.0.2 editor.

Hi,

 

I tried this, but poped up same errros screens :-(...

 

I'm afraid that it is a complex problem with a complex solution...

After carefully reading the new 'templates.bs', I have realized that there are new parameters that were not in the version 1.0.1 (speed, task, actions).

Yes:

 

In BS 1.0.1:

 

[1] =

{

["long"] = 0,

["heading"] = 3.1415926535898,

["name"] = "SR 9S80 Ovod-M-SV",

["lat"] = 0,

["skill"] = "Excellent",

}, -- end of [1]

 

En DCS 1.0.2 and FC2:

 

[1] =

{

["alt"] = 33,

["heading"] = 0,

["lat"] = 0,

["skill"] = "Average",

["long"] = 0,

["name"] = "ZU-23 Emplacement Closed",

["speed"] = 5.5555555555556,

["task"] = "Nothing",

["actions"] =

{

["type"] = "Turning Point",

["name"] = "Off road",

["action"] = "Off Road",

}, -- end of ["actions"]

}, -- end of [1]

Exactly,

 

And After I added them ...Works!!

Well of course if you manually add all the parameters it will work. It's just a pain in the ass if you have lots of templates. Best solution is having a mission with all the groups done in a previous version, then open it in the new version of the editor and just re-save the groups again.

I have one mission that is giving me problems. I keep getting the "error " screen while in the ME>

 

I created it in BS 1.01, made some modes in BS ME 1.02, flew in FC-2, then made a change in FC-2 ME, saved. After that when I open in BS ME, I get the errors.

 

Does anyone know if this could be the source of my errors, or something else?

Totally agree with you at this point ... But I could not solve with the method you mention, as I commented it before. There are probably other aspects that have changed.

 

And thanks for you interest in...
