VeteranenCampaign -- Chir Front

[JG4_dingsda]

reuploaded v102

[Kosman72]

Good day, JG4 dingsda.

I tried the new version of the campaign (1.02).

The problem is still the same.
Do not switch from the first to the second mission.
What do I need to do to switch?
Tried it three times. It does not work...

 

P.S. In the Russian forum wrote that you need to run the campaign in the "no authorization" mode

Hi Kosman,

 

I am no friend of the ominous 'works for me' (that is v1.02), but you can see how that is problem for me. I can think of four solutions for your problem:

 

1) You start and immediately land again.

2) You clean the campaign cache and reinstall again. This _might_ solve your problem, but I am not sure. See around in this forum on how to clear campaign cache.

3) Regarding the 'no authorization mode'. I have not heard of this before, but maybe you are able to bypass victory conditions altogether in a campaign. This would solve your problem as well, but I don't know how you would do that, sorry.

4) I'll just send you the loose missions.

 

Regards,

Thanks for the comments.

I will try to do as you said.

When after the mission I decided to see the "flight route",

it broke off at the point  "Our position is about 20km to the homebase"

 

4) I'll just send you the loose missions.- it would be nice.

I would like to finish the translation into Russian

Had the same problem last night... I achieved 2xIL2 kills during the first mission, my wing men also achieved kills.

I pulled out from the area when the other flight had left, plus a shed load of enemy fighters showed up.

 

I was low on ammo so withdrew. The other flight reported they were in the holding area.

Flew to home base and ordered my flight to land.

As I touched down, the mission report came up with our losses and kills.

Switched off whilst still on the runway, my results showed the two IL2 kills, but would not allow me to progress to the next mission. (frustrating)

 

Flew the mission again this morning by simply following the advice given... took off, and landed straight away.

This time I was allowed to proceed to mission two... but hey ho! my previous 2 kills now wiped off the stats... (even more frustrating)

 

Anyone else still having this problem?

[pilotpierre]

Yep been there, done that trooper. In fact I was getting all sorts of weird happening after the last update. Deleting the update folder and restarting appears to have fixed it.

[Trooper117]

I'll give that a go... cheers!

[Trooper117]

No joy... flew the second mission, got a Yak kill, the rest of the enemy flight were brought down as well, no more targets.

The Stuka's completed their mission and made it home.

Again, made it back home, the mission stats were displayed and my kill acknowledged... once again I was not allowed to continue to the next mission  

 

The missions are great fun, highly enjoyable... but something is broken after this last update and I'm not sure I can be bothered to keep re-flying and messing about with it.

Here I am talking about the same.

The campaign is excellent.

But something there does not work as it seems to me.

Neither at 2.008 nor at 2.009 nor now does not want to switch from mission to mission.

Very sorry...

[Kosman72]

To JG4_dingsda.

I sent you a private message with a link to the Russian translation of the campaign

[JG4_dingsda]

Russian translation added, thx to Kosman 72.

@ JG4_dingsda

 

Will you ever rework this campaign? Many users would like to play it but its impossible due to the mission switch bug.

Hi Semor,

 

I reset and revisited the campaign and yes, you are right, there was no mission switching. I honestly thought it would work now. So yes, I will rework this and I hope, I can solve it.

 

Sei gesund,

Ok, I have found a solution. I replaced Veteran's sophisticated Mission debriefing with a simple alternative: 'Mission accomplished', 'Mission failed'.

I did shy away from this radical step so far, because after all, these are not my missions ... On the other hand: there has been a debriefing screen added since back then when they came out.

It'll probably take me a little while to do this for all missions.

 

I'll upload a new version then.

Prima! Good news. Will wait for it.

 

S!

[Little update on rework]

Things turned out to be a bit more complicated than I thought, but after about 20 hours of debugging, I made it to the core of the problem. Reworking the missions according to this is a little tedious, but the missions I have done so far, seem to do fine now.

[Veteran66]

a big thx for you!!!

Saluté. Any news about your work?

Saluté. Any news about your work?

The HS 129 over kuban and the restarted TAW campaign absorbed quite some of my IL2-time recently. Unfortunately I ran into the same issues again, that I thought I had resolved. I'll try to describe them here this weekend and hope for the best possible outcome: That the problems are due to my incompetence.

[Trooper117]

Don't stress yourself mate... we appreciate your efforts

[Hoss]

The "Update Log" or "Update Previous"?...................

 

I'm tired of playing the same mission over and over again too..................

 

Cheers

Ok, here we go.

 

Yet again it took me a while to get back to this campaign, but I really would like for it to work out. I have to admit that this getting a little frustating for me -- probably still less frustrating than trying to fly this and not being able to advance.

 

But maybe we can get to the core of the problem together.

 

If things go wrong it usually looks like so:

Result is N/A and flight time zero.

 

What actually happened can be seen, if you run the log file through Lupanders Mission parser:

Pretty much the result, I'd expect

 

And even though I ended this flight sound and save at my homeairfield, in the ingame flight-log this mission ends as soon as OnPlaneDestroyed is triggered for the first time. [That is why you can trigger mission success by just starting and landing again immediately.]

In Veteran's missions OnPlaneDestroyed is connected to a lot of things, not only media, but to a system to give some feedback after the flight as well (in a time when there was no ingame-flightlog). I thought deleting this would solve the problem, but, alas, it did not.

 

So, back to debugging I went and found out, that there is a fourth neutral country involved in the missions besides the default countries (Neutral, Russia, Germany). Deleting the scoring logic and restoring the default set of countries resulted in the only mission I was not able to break ... yet.

Chir Front Mission 2.zip

 

But this is still not the end: I started reworking the following missions in the same manner -- they did not work. Back in the mission editor I learned, that restoring the default countries seems to delete the properties of some objects (which ones -- I don't know, but I could clearly see it by missing subtitles). Now I am not sure, whether I avoided a bug that is present in the mission editor while rebuilding the above mission or just because I was not able to break the mission while testing it yet...

 

How you can help:

Try this mission out; try to break it. You should still have the campaign installed, because the mission references the media data in the campaign folder, which I did not want to include here because it is too big. This one goes into the mission folder, not the campaign folder. If you are able to break it, let me know (and maybe include flightlog screenshots like I did them myself above).

 

I hope we can solve this,

 

dingsda

 

postscriptum 1:

There might be two bugs involved here as well: a) The ingame flightlog not being able to handle other than the default set of countries. b) The mission-editor not being able to restore the default set of countries.

 

postscriptum 2:

@Veteran: Should you see this and still know what you used that fourth country for, it would be nice if you'd let me know. Maybe I can weasel around what seems like a bug.

Same here. Completed successfully twice but will not move on.

[FoxbatRU]

How you can help:

For myself, I found a temporary solution to the problem. When I flew the first mission and did everything on assignment, after returning and exiting, I did not get the answer "mission accomplished" or "mission failed". And the transition to the next mission did not open.

Then the next time I took off, I made a circle over the airfield and landed. And I got the result "Mission accomplished".   I checked on missions 1-3. Now I can play all the missions in turn. Let and without offsetting statistics.

Yes, unfortunately, mission statistics are lost. But there is an opportunity to play these wonderful missions!

[FoxbatRU]

I made for myself 4k skin-pack for this company. If anyone is interested, you can take it here.

I'll move these to 3.001 eventually. But -- having new info with the renewed statistics system -- I hope to gain new insights in what troubles these missions.

I started working on it already. I just don't want to just resave it for 3.001, but again try to debug it.

 

(Btw. I am happy that the much nicer "happy-smiley" of old is back again)

[oho]

The first Mission doesn't start. I can chose it but then it just doesn't start.

@Kosman72 has completely reworked the campaign, which therefore is now released in version 2.01. Thanks to you, @Kosman72, and your helper. See OP for changelog and downloadlink. If you overwrite files from a previous version, make sure to delete the ctreecache-file in the Data-folder of the game before launching.

Yes, it seems, this is still a thing. Kosman told me, that in the russian forum he got feedback, that the flightlog claims, the player had never started sometimes.

@Kosman72 has added tasks (flying to the frontline) to fix the problems with the mission progress.

The new download is a Disk-0 set up (in Russian) and nothing like the original campaign.

[photog95661]

One item of note.  At this point in time, the campaign needs to be updated to compatibility with the latest sim version.  To get the campaign functional, open the mission editor and re-save all the missions.  Looks to be captivating.
