Blitzen Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Is there an easy way to convert the various Winter SP missions we now have to Fall or Summer maps ,rename them & add to our mission menus? How about changing the aircraft in the new missions so tht we can fly say the P-40 or 109E?
andyw248 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 If you have created a mission on the Stalingrad or Lapino map it should be as easy as changing the season in the mission properties in ME. I believe there are currently no summer and autumn maps for VL. You can change aircraft types as well, one aircraft at the time. Keep in mind that you will need to change their properties, such as skins, weapons loadouts, etc as well as those are different for different aircraft. Also, if you change sides for the aircraft (e.g. replace a 109 with a P-40) you will also need to sift through all the other objects in your mission and see whether they have affiliations to either side (otherwise AAA at you home field might shoot at you). You want to make sure all objects are assigned to the proper side.
Blitzen Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 Velikie Luki Of course , because they on't have Summer & fall Maps yet. BTW When changing what wording for the new map will I be required to use-simply Summer or Fall in the required space?

Keep in mind that you will need to change their properties, such as skins, weapons loadouts, etc ... If you're feeling brave, in theory it should be possible to use a text editor such as the fandabidozzi Notepad++ to do a find/replace editing job on the .Mission file. Should be fine for default loadouts. For custom stuff, it should - in theory - be easy enough to change one instance in the ME, name it something distinctive in the mission, save it, then open it in Notepad++, find it and do a copy/paste job...! (Having said that, the file seems to run to 70-80 thousand lines... In my missions, the bits I've added that aren't villages and bridges seem to occur from about line 65000 onwards...!

andyw248 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 When changing what wording for the new map will I be required to use-simply Summer or Fall in the required space I don't have ME in front of me right now but I believe it displays a listbox with options like "Stalingrad - Winter", "Stalingrad - Summer", etc.
Blitzen Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 I was really talking about the missions already downloaded from others.I would have thought you could change seasons on the Mission editor supplied in the sim, but so far I haven't had any luck on a couple of tries...

HippyDruid Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Waterfront views man! The Palm islands of Dubai have nothing on this!
Sokol1 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) The "Blue Neon World" is because in old missions clouds (in Atmosphere conditions) is: CloudConfig= "03 Heavy 09\sky.ini' And in the new: CloudConfig= "autumn\03_Heavy_09\sky.ini" or summer, etc. Edited November 3, 2015 by Sokol1
