MP GUI mission selection

[159th_Falcon]

Ok, does anyone know if you can modify the dropdown box in the multiplayer GUI?

The one you can use to select folders to navigate to your missions?

 

Hoping it is cause it would make swapping between squad, public and training missions a lot easier for the 159th server admins.

 

Any ideas?

Hi, you should be able too.

 

I don't fly online but you could take a look in the DCS World\Scripts\net folder and it's sub-folders

 

You can open and edit .dlg files with notepad or the like.

[ajax]

Here you go, Falcon:

 

Edit {DCS}\Scripts\UserFiles.lua to include the lines in red. Modify according to your system.

 

local lfs = require('lfs')

sysTracksPath = lfs.currentdir() .. 'Missions\\Tracks\\'
userMissionPath = lfs.writedir()..'Missions\\'
userTrackPath = lfs.writedir()..'Tracks\\'
sysCampaignPath = lfs.currentdir() .. 'Missions\\Campaigns\\'
userCampaignPath = lfs.writedir() .. 'Missions\\Campaigns\\'
userMoviePath = lfs.writedir() .. 'Movies\\'
[color=Red]userSquadMissionPath = lfs.writedir()..'Missions\\Squad\\'
userPublicMissionPath = lfs.writedir()..'Missions\\Public\\'
userServmanMissionPath = lfs.currentdir()..'Missions\\Multiplayer\\'
[/color]
function initLocations()
   function _(str) return str end
   lfs.add_location(_('My Missions'), userMissionPath)
[color=Red]    lfs.add_location(_('Squad Missions'), userSquadMissionPath)
   lfs.add_location(_('Public Missions'), userPublicMissionPath)
   lfs.add_location(_('Servman Missions'), userServmanMissionPath)
[/color]end
initLocations()

Awesome, so why haven't you done this on the Squad server yet Ajax?:D

btw, can we also use full directory paths instead of the ones above starting from the main game directory?

ie, c:/users/username/missions/squad

Well, Falcon, I figured it out just this morning and TBH never thought about it before you asked the question.:)

 

I presume full file paths are acceptable, but I haven't tested it.

 

Edit: Full pathnames work fine.
