"COLD WINTER" scripted SP campaign

[Elem]

Indeed, and moreover, Pe shoots flares while waiting. Though, there was a tricky moment at the very begining of the mission after player's take off, I do remember.

Should take a look at it)

 

Foxbat, Samson. Thanks I got it done.

[56RAF_Roblex]

Oh dear.  I love the mig and was about to download this when I saw I need both BoM & BoS and I dont have Stalingrad :-(    If I had realised earlier I would have bought BoS in the sale just so I could fly this.

 

If I download it anyway will I still get it to play half of it or does it use Stalingrad maps & aircraft from the beginning?

[samson]

You need only BoM to play this campaign.
My initial opinion one should have BoS to play Cold Winter appeared to be wrong.

[AVX0]

Thanks for this excellent campaign, samson. After finishing the TAMAN BRIDGEHEAD, I downloaded and challenged this COLD WINTER, Again, amazing experience. I did enjoy this campaign with VR. (And there is no turbulence causing motion sickness in this campaign. Really nice to VR player.)  

 

BTW, in mission 10. HUNTING JAGERS, the mission briefing says "The German hunters should appear at sector apx. at 7:10 - 7:15.". However, when the mission starts, the time is 8:41 already.

Oh! Thanx for this good worgs)
Yeah... I know about this "time issue". It's all about the difference between time in old IL-2 Sturmovik and BoX and my lazyness) Sоrry for that. Btw, did you catch those "jaegers"?

[AVX0]

Yes. I did catch the jaegers on my way home (while I almost gave up). Very interesting and exciting mission design. Thank you!

@samson

 

Salute. I try to resave your campaign in the ME to make it compatible with the actual patch, but my result is a bit....psychodelic can you have a look please?

[samson]

Оh! I see.

Surely I gonna put my hand on it, but while I'm aside from Mission Editor right now I could suggest not just resave mission, but also while in ME  RE-SET THE WEATHER. As I do remember it should get things right.

[Swing]

in the ME you've got to re-adjust the weather conditions before resave it

This is beyond my knowlege about the ME.  I will wait and leave this to those who are more professional to mission building.

[samson]

Campaign Zip file under the link in first post has been updated to version 3.001

[Swing]

Many thanks Samson

[Skipper-]

Is there any chance that this will be updated again for 3.005 as I cannot get past mission 3 - hunt the artillery spotter. It also might just be me as I am not sure what I should be looking for, a plane or a ground unit!

[samson]

Sure. I'm working hard on Allmost update and second part. And already cleaning a bit old bugs in COLD WINTER's missions.

[Donik]

Any update on this? Tried to start it last night, but cannot get the first mission going.

[samson]

Yeah, I see. Actually it doesn't take much time just to resave. Though I dreamed of refreshing and cleaning missions from old bugs and  "bottlenecks". It will take some time just after I upload updated "Allmost" campaign for Bf-109F-2 (very-very close to the end now). 
So, pretty soon. 

[samson]

Cold Winter has been updated to version 3.005
Link at 1st post should work.

[ACS777]

That's great tried it out works well now. Thank you

[Atomic_Spaniel]

Hi Samson, thanks for this.

 

Unfortunately, the third mission crashes the game for me - between waypoints 1 and 2. 

 

[samson]

Thank you for report!
Surely I have checked this mission before campaign's last update, but gonna recheck it again. 
I will leave a note here.

Hi, jussitska!
Cold Winter was my one of the first jobs, so there a lot of shit in it. At that time I wadsn't sure how it works.
For example, usually, the "mission complete" translator triggers by Player's report about successful landing. It's not the same as the landing Event itself. May be devil is in it?  I canot recall for now.
But nevermind. What shall I do. I gonna make these mission counts automatically, seconds after mission start. So the player will decide by himself should he replay this mission or not. 
Will report here when done.

Thank you for playing and enjoing my campaigns!
(While enjoying you give me energy - you even don't notice - so I can accumulate it to conquer world domination)

have a good day!

[samson]

Ok. 
Must confess I srew into the mission expecting some silly mistake to discover.
But nope! Everything was fine. You should hear a song and got detailed like... forgot the word... like summary at your screen after landing. This for sure means you've completed the mission. At all miissions at that campaign.
But I made what I promised. Here is the mission with "instant success"

[jussitska]

Ok...thanks..I try later and will tell how it works

 

kindly Jussi

[jussitska]

Yes... now it works...Thank You very Much

[Emil109]

Many Thanks, all right ?

Thanks for making this campaign samson

[Pegas44]

Hi Samson,
I'd really like to play this campaign, but it doesn't start with 3.201 update. (when i click start mission button it returns to the same mission list screen ?).
Any help is appreciated.

Same on my side.  Would be sweet to have a fix in the near future.

[jollyjack]

ditto ...

[samson]

I see...
Well, there is an Taman Bridgehead's update coming. And immediately after that I put my hands on this campaign.

By the way, I got a completed campaign for the soviet pilot (I-16, MiG-3, Yak-1, P-40, P-39; 50+ missions) titled "KURSANT". Briefings are only in Russian. Is it interesting enough to bother with translation?

[Donik]

Thanks for taking the time to fix Cold Winter!

I would be interested in KURSANT campaign, hopefully there are others as well!

Yeah, thanks in advance for your efforts fixing this campaign.

"KURSANT" campaign also sounds very interesting,

is it ready to play with Russian only briefings? If so could you share a link.

Thanx mate! Like always, well written and excellent skins.

 

I did a translation via google. It´s a bit rough in some parts but better than nothing. With your permission I share the link for those who are interested.

 

Link via PM only.

Well, zest of KURSANT campaign are the briefings. I'm not the author) ...Some rude professional "argo".

[jussitska]

Hello

 

 

I downloaded this campaign, but it doesn't open ... not even with the editor. Can anyone advise where the fault is?

kindly Jussi of Finland

[Columbar]

I have problem with second mission of KURSANT campaign. Mission is loaded but instead of map/briefing/setup plane page there is only black screen.

 

To jussitska: Just unzip and copy to: C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Moscow\data\Campaigns or to other location where you have the game.

@samson needs some time to fix the campaign before it'll work again.  from what i've experienced in the past, it usually breaks after a game update.
