Cooperative mission generator

[-DED-Zlodey]

Comrades!

We offer a simple free service that automates the creation of cooperative missions for the game"Il-2 attack."
The service works on the basis of generator campaign games, and missions are created "in the image and likeness" of the campaign, so that the main features of the mission should be at least partially familiar to you (special thanks to the developers of "IL2" - for access to the "body" of the game).

 

Скрытый текст

As can be seen from the illustrations, the mission "one - sided", that is, assume the actions of players against AI, not against other players, because in the second case requires a very serious alteration of the original campaign, and this project-just a "small step in a big direction", in the sense of expanding the possibilities of cooperative game mode.

How does it work?

Visit the site il2expert.ru/en and register on it.

2. Choose the tab " services -- > cooperative mission generator":

3. Following the instructions, select:
a) the party for which you want to play
b) theater of operations, that is, the map (now available on the maps mission "Moscow-autumn" and "Stalingrad-winter", so choosing a map, you choose the season)
C) type of mission (available: "intercept the bombers", "attack airfield" and "the bombing of the warehouse")
g) the starting airfield (available at the ten airfields for each side at all theater of operations)
e) aircraft model (planes in missions are armed " by default "if it is necessary" to take a bomb more", do it on the server before departure)

Mission " intercept "is designed for six players (the main link - "Main")," attack "and" bombing "- ten (the main link" Main "and four fighter escort - "Cover").

Choosing an airplane in the "intercept" mission will determine the model aircraft for your entire link.
In the mission "ground attack" and "bombing" the main level also is determined by your choice of plane, and the flight of escort fighters will get a random allied fighters available for the selected theater.
4. send a mission to generate the appropriate button and after a few seconds, refresh the page in the browser (F5) - at the bottom of the list there is a description of the mission, the archive from which you can download by clicking on the description anywhere:

Only a single job to generate can be in the queue, you cannot create the next mission until you processed the current request.
Up to three missions generated by you are stored on the server. Download them and use the "delete files" button if you want to get more missions at your disposal.

5. The resulting archive should be unpacked in"...data\Multiplayer\Cooperative", then you can invite friends, start game, server, and can fly.
The names of the missions will be different sequence number generation:

 

 

 

UPD.  When choosing an aircraft, you can now also select the start time of the mission and the type of clouds:

If you leave the hours / minutes/seconds fields blank - there is generated a random time in the entire daily range (valid for each field separately, that is, you can set only hours, minutes / seconds will get to them themselves).

 

PS. All files created prior to the innovations, those need removed.

This looks really great Zlodey

 

I have tried registering on your site to use this but it does not like my answer to the security question. 

 

I thought the 'most massive' plane of WW2 was the Messerschmitt 323 but if thats wrong, please tell us the answer!!

[DD_Arthur]

Ahhh...yes!!

[-DED-Zlodey]

Please excuse me, I missed the fact that there is no English localization on the site in the registration and authorization section. Temporarily, will so, as there is now. Soon, I will try to fix the problem. In the rest of the sections, everything is translated into English. While I propose to use the screenshot for the Association of the form fields.

Brilliant!!!!!

[KG200_Volker]

Thank you a lot for this.

[-DED-Zlodey]

Yes, there may be unforeseen situations. Let's deal. Thanks for the feedback.

Try other missions.

[-DED-Zlodey]

We will be glad to suggestions, wishes, constructive criticism.

In which direction to develop the service? Which missions would be more in demand? Feel free to state your versions, perhaps this version will find the greatest response from users and developers of the service.

 

So far, we are thinking about the introduction of dueling mission types 1x1, 2x2, 4x4. With the ability to upload logs to the server, create statistics and ratings. A League in which the participants themselves will choose the time to fly and not to bother about the expense of judging, server modules, etc, have agreed with someone, flew, sent the logs, the server was considered, given points, a rating managers, couples, or the pilot has increased/dropped.

How do you like this approach?

[-DED-Zlodey]

Fixed inability to connect friends to the server due to "file reading error".

Fixed a problem with the completion of the mission after the destruction of the leader of the bombers.

[-DED-Zlodey]

Added the ability to set the time of day for the mission, as well as the choice of clouds.

Information added in with start-up post.

EDIT:

if I use the russian side it seems to work fine, but my english generated mission seems to block the process:

Yes, certainly. All AI aircraft are equipped to carry out the task.

[-DED-Zlodey]

Added dueling missions on the Kuban map.

Available mode:

• 1x1
• 2x2
• 4x4

 

With the ability to fly against live pilots. If there are no living opponents they will be replaced by bots.

 

Dueling sectors:

Successful flights.

[-DED-Zlodey]

Learn more about dueling missions.

As already noted above, the duels take place on the map of Kuban in modes 1x1, 2x2 and 4x4, and the starting point can be chosen from 30 possible or rely on the case.

Scheme of arrangement of dueling aircraft and groups:

 

The starting course of each mission is different and is determined by the arbitrary rotation of the aircraft around the geometric center of the group, which they make, in increments of 15°. That is-24 possible starting positions in each of the starting points:

 

Time of year — spring, dates range from 15 March to 29 may 43; missions always calm and there is no turbulence; the start time of the mission and the type of clouds — by choice; start at 1000 metres altitude (the height also can be selected optionally)

 

All fighters are available, missions are automatically completed in 30 seconds after one side loses all planes.

1. Ya, I didn't have those, probably the issue.  Edit: retried and it took.  Now awaiting email.

2.  LOL, I had Spruce Goose.  EDIT I originally thought of the B-29 as it cost more than the Manhattan Project.

Sir Zlodey, if you have the mood,time, and energy I would like to ask you some questions about your generator and check if it’s possible to make it work for the coop wars I mentioned elsewhere. We dont care about credits all we want is to make it happen. You can pm or post or whatever in case you want to talk about it.

 

Thank you.

I've generated a couple coops.  I download the file, unzip it into the Coop folder but it doesn't show when creating a coop.  I believe this is due to the MISSION file missing.

yep..  When creating the coop I was looking for a name starting with a number not "Cooperative".  Oh well...  That's OK, sometimes I can't find my flight stick and then it appears right in front of me.

Hello Zlodey, thanks for creating this feature for us it is much needed and appreciated.  In the future will the attack/intercept mission setups be available for Kuban as well?

 

Thanks

Hey, Hund.

Now you can play in the mission "Bomb strike" on either side and on any type of aircraft, except attack aircraft. You can generate the mission and implement it as an interceptor as friends against AI, or with friends against real virtual pilots.

At the next stage, we planned to make the mission exactly the same as the" Bomb strike " only as strike aircraft attack aircraft will be available (Il-2, BF110, etc.), and as targets will be railway stations, bridges, various static units and columns of troops.

P. S. All this is that, on the map Stalingrad. Will continue to watch in which direction to move.

[GSP_Hund]

 

That is great news sir, as my mates and I love the Kuban map and would like to fly the strike missions and have AI as the opponents.  If I understand correctly for the Kuban map we can only fly duels and we would like to fly bomb strike and intercept missions on the Kuban map, similar to Moscow and Stalingrad maps.  Looking forward to future developments, keep up the good work my friend!

Just tried it Zlodey.  Works great!

 

This is a big break through!  We can now generate missions which can have human opponents instead of just the A.I.   If this could be extended to all mission types on all the maps that would be fantastic  

 

Thankyou very much to you and the DED team forall their hardwork creating this generator

[=A-LAGET=GeneralSnus]

Fantastic work with the coop generator Zlodey! 

 

I was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some help when it comes to running these missions with the dedicated server software (DServer)? I've managed to host these generated using the built-in "host coop server" inside of IL-2. However my issues comes when I host it using the DServer and load up the mission there. When I connect with my client I get kicked out to the main menu with the error message "Could not save file to disk".

Other people can connect no problem to the server, it's only when I try to connect that the issue arises.

 

Some more info: I am running the server on the same machine that I am running the game (necessary for my port-forwarding to work, can't get the damned built-in hosting to work sadly). The mission is placed inside the Multiplayer/Cooperative folder. Any help is much appreciated!

 

Yet again, many thanks to you and the DED team for this generator!
