VFA41_Lion Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Say i'm putting together a campaign, and I want the first mission to be randomly chosen among a group of missions. Is there any way to get that or do I have to make a "prologue" mission in which the success of the player in that will determine the campaign starting mission?
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 IIRC if you have, say 5 missions in the First Phase, any of those 5 can be the first mission, selected at random. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
VFA41_Lion Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 So I'm just unlucky in that the first mission I put into the stage is the one that keeps getting chosen as the starting mission.. :(
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 It seems I'm mistaken - I'm no expert - but looking at the Georgian Oil war campaign in Black Shark it seems that the same mission will always be selected first. Congrats you've found a bug, I think :) Are the missions in the First Phase all the same value ranges? Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
VFA41_Lion Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) EDIT: Oooh. I changed the value from the first mission in the pool to "0 .. 5" and on the third reroll it selected the second mission. :o ! Edited October 14, 2011 by NPOSuperhornet

VFA41_Lion Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Oh, wait, nevermind. On further (lots further) testing, it seems the starting mission with value ranges that has the highest will start first (I.E. "0 to 100" rather than "90 to 100" for some reason). No way to randomise it as far as I can see.
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 And if they all have the same ranges for Phase 1? It seems to me that the Black Shark GOW campaign is designed to have one starting mission, but also have missions in Phase 1 if you fail Phase 2. Maybe that is the only way to approach it?

VFA41_Lion Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 It won't let me have the same values. Says the interval for stage one is incomplete.
nomdeplume Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 How are you restarting the campaign? Are you sure it's actually selecting the first mission again, or just resuming the campaign? As for scores, my hunch is that when you start the campaign it'll select a mission valid for a score of 50, but I've never tested that. Perhaps the initial score is 100? For the interval you need to make sure you have a mission for every score 0-100. If you changed all the missions to e.g. 90-100 then it'd complain because you don't have any missions for a score < 90.
VFA41_Lion Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 There's a button in the main screen that says "RESTART CAMPAIGN." Been using that.
