oh yesssssssssssssssssssssss !

thanks a loooot for your work!

 

[Hoss]

Hash, are these coop missions compatible with version 3.0 update style coops?............ and if so will they work as is or do they need to be updated?

 

Cheers

 

Hoss

You can easily  convert them to the 3.001.

 

Delete the msnbin file (be sure have a . mission file), then open the mission in the editor and Select save. That's all.

 

Keep in mind that it's a dogfight mission. But you can adapt easily to a coop version. I did it as i used 2 of these missions for the beta test. If Haashashin is ok, i can provide these 2 missions.

Hi Habu,

 

Please do share them. I didnt have enough time to build something good enough and Vander is also busy.

Hi Haashshin,

 

Here are the mission 5 and 6 adapted to the coop mod. Keep in mind, that 99% of the work is from syndicate. I only add the planes (i want) for players.

Ps : Haashashin, i send you a PM.

Hi

I've tried to do this with a few of the missions but it doesn't seem to work. I delete the  msnbin file, open in the editor, change the type to Cooperative then save. But it doesn't appear Cooperative mission list.

[Habu]

You did half the job.

1- You resave the mission to the new version.

2-You set the kind of mission.

3- You forget to put plane.

 

In dogfight mode, plane are set with the airfield, but in cooperative mod, you have to put one plane by player on the map, as you can do in a single mission.

 

As it's a little bit off topic, you can, find more information i gave in that post, and ask some question if you need.

 

[Retrofly]

Thanks Habu.

 

I did notice the Airfield object which seemed like a really neat way of assigning planes, shame it doesn't work in CooP.

[Habu]

I'm sorry to continue in the off topic.

 

The  assignment of a plane to a player change if you host in dogfight mod or coop mod.

 

In dogfight : Plane spawn and are set by the button Plane on the Airfield object.

In cooperative : Plane has to be place on the map by the mission builder, and use settings in the advanced properties of the plane.

 

You can compare the original mission where you have plane set in the airfield object, and the mission i change. But notice that i didn't clear the plane in the Airfield object, but as you can see, i add many plane on the airfield. It's theses planes that can be used by player.

 

But if it's not clear, please ask in the topic i gave the link before.

Hi everyone. I have sorted out the bugs of our first Kuban coop mission (I hope!). It's semi-fictional because we really wanted to try the P-39 and A-20 in an interesting location :).

 

-10 vs 10 players

-Both fighters and bombers on each side: Hs-129/FW-190A5/Bf-109G6 vs A-20B/P-39L/Spitfire MkV

-Mission objectives for each side are similar/mirrored

-Based on scenery/front line situation from Career mission (thanks devs, well researched career mode!)

-Tip: You can also play alone on your own PC

 

More to come!

@Vander, what a brilliant coop!

Isn't the idea of the co-op supposed to have ai fill in any open roles on either side? All of the SYN "co-op" missions I've downloaded for use with my few friends that have this sim just leave all of the unoccupied aircraft just sit around doing nothing

 

[[7e]Forza42]

thanks for the missions!

Kuban_01 is working well

But, i have the same issue like CY6Nyt3Stalk3r

missions 5 and 6 has AI pilot on each planes, but no one start their plane :S

 

[Habu]

The adpatation of the mission 5 and 6 i mad, is only for human player. I didn't give any order to the AI.

[SYN_Vander]

The previous “coop” missions were actually normal dogfight missions with AI. I think these have been converted to coop type, so any logic for players will be missing. The only real coop mission so far is Kuban_01, but more will follow soon!

[SYN_Vander]

We have finished (and tested) three missions now. Note that the first one has been updated.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much Vander!

[Tuesday]

Have only tried Kuban #2 out of those so far, Vander, but it was very well built and quite fun.  Looking forward to trying the other two.

 

Thank you guys for sharing these!

[SYN_Vander]

Updated (all) missions. Now 5 in total, so already a mini campaign . Please overwrite older versions.

There is a problem with all the missions Vanders. You forget to give us some file which is list in the .list file, and which give a file error transfer error. The problem is here :

filename="multiplayer\cooperative\synmedia\notepaper.jpg","dfca89b7"

[DD_Arthur]

@Habu; for what it's worth - I've downloaded these new files and installed them with no problems.

First mission runs fine for me.......

 

[DD_fruitbat]

5th one runs fine for me too...

 

Only one I've checked so far mind.

I use a dedicated server which upload the mission to players. And as a file is list in the file need for the mission, there is a transfer error.

[SYN_Haashashin]

Come join us now...about to launch number 4 and 5 after it 

[DD_fruitbat]

My bad, my earlier post is incorrect.

 

I only tested briefly by putting it up on my own, however just went to run them with some squadmates and they can't connect to any of them with the file transfer error.

[SYN_Haashashin]

We got that problem at the start today, I am sure that when Vander has the time he will post and say what was up with that.

Argh too late now. 

 

Can you give the hour when you begin the mission.

Haashashin, as i said it's in the .list file, all the file need to upload for the player are listed. If one is listed and is missing, there is an error by the dedicated server because he must upload a file it doesn't have.  Deleting the line in the list file can solve the problem if the file is not important in the mission.

 

Here is the list file from the Mission 01

Quote

filename="multiplayer/cooperative/syn - coop kuban 01.eng","976f31b4"
filename="multiplayer/cooperative/syn - coop kuban 01.fra","5f14560a"
filename="multiplayer/cooperative/syn - coop kuban 01.ger","a2f611d7"
filename="multiplayer/cooperative/syn - coop kuban 01.pol","2f755942"
filename="multiplayer/cooperative/syn - coop kuban 01.rus","c1ea081a"
filename="multiplayer/cooperative/syn - coop kuban 01.spa","5dd2d624"
filename="multiplayer\cooperative\synmedia\notepaper.jpg","dfca89b7"

 

 

In bold, the dedicated search to load the file notepaper.jpg in the directory synmedia.

 

So, even if we have the file, we must have the same directory on our server to avoid the error of transfer.

[SYN_Vander]

Yes, that was the problem (actually 2).

1) Media file was missing

2) Perhaps a " localization"  issue, but when I add a media file from the " browse" button in the ME than it uses the wrong slash character in the file path. It already was this way for RoF though, so I could have known...  I will update the files.

Hi Habu,

 

We usually start around 20:00h UCT. We had some bad behaviour last night from some people so I think it will be passworded from now on. If you still want to join some time, just PM me and I will provide the password same Sunday.

[Habu]

Ok, thx. It's a bit late for me. But if i can i would come.

 

Did you recover your dedicated server, or is it someone who host ?

[WWGeezer]

Thanks Vander....I downloaded all five and had the same File Transfer errors.  If you update them please be clear anything special we have to do to load them correctly. 

 

(Always enjoy your missions, they are so well built , makes it easy for tweeking later)

[SYN_Vander]

Here is the new version. This should work. Just overwrite older file versions.

It's a separate system, sitting next to my game PC. I have 150 Mbit fiber connection and this works quite well. It's just that I don't want the hassle of operating a 24/7 server anymore (plus additional energy costs) so it's only booted up ' on demand'   ie for events, training nights and such.

Ok, i can understand. Keep in mind, that if you need a dedicated for a special event, you can contact me.

I tried hosting these tonight with a couple of squad buddies but they were still getting the File Transfer error message and could not connect.

 

I then deleted the contents of my coop folder and reloaded these afresh but still no go Vander. 

[BlitzPig_EL]

I tried hosting them tonight as well, file transfer error every time for those that tried to join.
