That would be great, DN308! :)

Let's do that

[Kosman72]

Hello.
I went to see the news on this forum and saw activity in this thread.
I am now re-running this campaign in the new version of the game (4.005d).
I found a way to exclude the waypoint for the player’s flight (which was added in the previous version of the campaign) after completing the main task.
Now the mission will switch to the next one without this waypoint.
Also, but so far only in the working version, added the ability to land a damaged plane in Tormosin.
If this is acceptable, then the campaign can be released in this version.
It will be possible to include your translation in the new version of the campaign after a while.

With @Veteran66's permission I recompiled his excellent "Chir Front"-missions into a scripted campaign, which has been completely reworked by @Kosman72 into version 2.01. I hope you enjoy his missions as much as I did. Thanks to @Veteran66 and the many others that contributed!

Installation:

Extract the Folder data into your IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad main directory. If you are overwriting files from a previous version, make sure to delete the ctreecache-file in the Data-folder of the game before launching.

 

Other notes:

• The campaign is in German, English and Russian. Should somebody want to do translations for Polish, French or Spanish, I will gladly include them.
• The Veteran Missions work without any waypoints. The player will fly CAP with his Raven flight, receiving information about enemy movements via comms. Since this comms reference the old mapgrid and its new correspondents are indicated in the subtitles, the HUD should stay on.
• Missions 1 und 5 start with the aircraft parked. Taxi to the right side of the runway, a little past the windsock and wait for the KI.
• You can find @FoxbatRU 's 4k replacement skins here.

v2.03 (3.004)

• Added tasks (flying to the front) to fix the problems with mission switching

• Minor changes to the ground warfare
• 4k replacement skins for the German fighter courtesy of @FoxbatRU
• Default Soviet fighter skins
• Changes to AI: The skill of German fighter pilots is a little higher than that of the Russian ones. Ace-skill removed.
• Completion of mission after landing at the departure aerodrome
• ... and many more little improvements
• The storyline of the campaign remains unchanged, statistics system of downed opponents and losses preserved

v1.03 (2.010)

• Russian translation added, thx to @Kosman72

v1.02 (2.008)

Yes, the link crashed.
There is only a working version for 4.005d as I wrote here.

German and English translations are present.

Campaign version 2.03 was replaced with 2.04 without saving the old one.
If you wish, I can give a link to the working version 2.04 on a personal page here on the forum.

The campaign works, I’m going through this version myself now.

Or wait a bit and by this time French translation will appear.

[JG4_dingsda]

Thanks for chiming in here, @Kosman72. I was a bit fast, thinking of the JG51 over Velikie Luki Campaign.

 

Maybe you can coordinate with @DN308 to include the French translation and then publish a working version here again?

 

Regards, dingsda.

yes, of course, we will.

 

@DN308 , please tell me when the translation is ready.

[DN308]

@Kosman72 So, that’s a go for the translation ?

But I need the English version of the text.

As I can't download it, I would need you to send me the files to translate

Hi all, here's the old Veteran66 'Chir Front' campaign working for game version 4.501.

 

It was a combined effort, thanks to Spuks, Kosman72, and Veteran66 himself sending me the old files he still had stored on an old PC

Latter gave me permission to publish it. Credits go especially to those involved, especially Veteran66 who made it in the first place.

 

Worthwhile watching: he made a great intro for the first mission at least; I was quite impressed what one can do with the ME.

I left the campaign files as much as they were except a few found errors, probably due recent map updates.

 

I have only tested the first mission through, and it might be that some effects like landing fires are not 'set to ground' yet, and are about 2m in the air.

So who ever feels like correcting it ... please do.

 

Unzip the files into your data/Campaigns in a folder called Chir Front, and the media files should work.

If i find time i might check latter campaign missions.

 

Have Fun: http://www.mediafire.com/file/s2yk3kbw9sn5mrh/Chir_Front_Working_as_Campaign_4.501.zip/file

@jollyjack Great work, thanks.

 

[Zeev]

Thanks for the effort resurrecting this campaign jollyjack ?

[LF_Asger]

Hello, I am trying to fly this campaing but when I select the first mission I get this message

 

We found that this 041.txt is the file where all the smoke effects refer to but the file cannot be found. Replacing all smoke effects one by one is not an option (more than 500 effects per mission x 8 missions). 

 

Does someone have a smart solution for this?

 

Would be very much appreciated

[LF_Asger]

The good news is that one of my squadron’s friend found the way to solve it without spending half of your life. However, the question is what kind of smoke should we replace all those effects with? I mean, “city_firesmall_loop”, etc.

 

Maybe someone reading this has got any clue of what the author wanted with the 041.txt. 
 

Thanks 

[LF_Asger]

For everybody, I got it right now. This is what happens:

1) You first download the campaign posted in October 2020 by Jollyjack above. Link for donwload here again:

 http://www.mediafire.com/file/s2yk3kbw9sn5mrh/Chir_Front_Working_as_Campaign_4.501.zip/file

 

2) But the link above does not include the luascript files the campaign needs. These LuaScripts are included in the previous version posted by Kosman72 un June 2020 above. I am including this files here. You need to unzip this in the Luascripts folder in IL2.

 

No integrity check errors appear now.

LuaScripts.zip

[vonGraf]

Just flew the first mission; really good atmosphere, custom radio calls and fights with Il-2s attacking the German troops on the ground. I've got shot down after two kills because they had the version that has a rear gunner and I wasn't really aware of that.

When I tried to re-fly  the sortie immediately, my Bf-109 G2 had no canopy anymore right from the start. Didn't get it first, needed two attempts to verify that. Thought first I forgot to close it and it did break away during the starting process but no. Will try later again.

And is there a way to skip the intro's? They're very well made but I don't want to watch them every time again I failed on the mission. Or a bug occurs.

[ZM12CR8]

sorry, i can´t download the campaign. I use the link on the first side (ver.2.04 for 4.006). There appears a russian side, i can´t read in cause of the kyrillic letters, but i do recognize a download symbol. Each time i try to klick it, nothing happens...

What i´m doin wrong

Thanks

Same problem for me. Is the La-5 needed?

[Spikos]

So i just tested to delete the mission info about what Plane is needed in the campaign folder. It worked as far as i could load the first mission and i could see the ingame missioninfos in yellow typing while hovering over the airfield. But then the mission just doesn't goes on and the camera stays above the airfield.

I was able to start the campaign with the intro but an error window appeared and it crashed.

Missing: graphics/effects/hit_shell_he_200_1000g_ground.epl

 

iam trying now to use the Luascripts from LF_Asger 

Ok it wasn´t those Luascripts it still accures.

Something weird is happening, it starts OK on my PC, but i cannot get into F1 cockpit mode after the intro video. Game keeps running, no error.

The above epl i tried to find in the GTP files called graphics 1,2,3, not there, also not on the older game version i used to make the repairs.

Must be in some other GTP file. Funny though, Chir Front ran fine on 4,501.

 

PS i have the lot as separate missions, as i used for fixes, but it's not my plan to publish those;

it's Olaf's work and i asked him if i could fix the campaign, which he okayed.

 

I'll see if i can fix it and let you know ... later

CORRECTION: It works for game 4.601 !!

 

For those who had problems: my bad, the Media folder was not installed right, as i changed the folder name.

Only the intro skip function does not work on my game setup. (In a read me it says use mouse for skip; NADA)

 

Copy the Chir Front folder as a whole into your data/Campaigns folder, remove the old versions first, and don't rename the Chir Front name.

 

Download: Chir Front WORKING

 

For those who have downloaded the https://www.mediafire.com/file/ckg2r9bwg9b0kiw/Chir_Front_-_4.601.zip/file

 

version, i have embedded the updated version it with the actual Chir Front folder inside it for your Campaigns folder.

 

ADDED: SPIKOS: Your error message regarding graphics/effects/hit_shell_he_200_1000g_ground.epl i don't have, and i cannot find any source for it.

Not in any GTP game file as well. Can it be that you have or had some MOD active that installed this?

 

Edited May 1, 2021 by jollyjack

[Spikos]

THX for checking and update!

 

I found my solution. Everything works now. I was able to finish the first mission

By using the Files from LF Asgar and change it like Madcop did in another Thread( see below).

 

This error (graphics/effects/hit_shell_he_200_1000g_ground.epl) accures also at other campaigns for some players.

Solution from Madcop (Thx to him):

for graphics\effects\arm\hit_shell_he_200-1000g-ground.epl Error

 

In the files veteran_ari1.txt, 037.txt, 041.txt put // before the lines concerned as below:

( veteran_ari1.txt only if you fly differnt campaigns i gues it´s  not needed for Chir Front)

 

//////    PhysicsBody properties
//VisualImage=0,"graphics\effects\arm\hit_shell_he_200-1000g_ground.epl",false
//visualradius=500

//duration=10
//range=0,1
//loop=false

 

//destroy_pause=0.1

 

I attached my Files, so that others dont need to do this by hand themselfs. The Files need to be in:

...IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\LuaScripts\WorldObjects\mapemitters

 

This can also fix other campaigns like JG51 over Velikie Lukie and "Almost"
