Hi,

 

Sorry guys by the delay but I moved for work and have limited access to internet until my provider decide to show up and install everything needed (house doesnt even have a phone land line). Also now when get to be connected I have limited Mbs, actually Im sending this using my smartphone as a modem so I can use my PC....

 

I couldnt even download latest version of the sim, I will send a PM to ask some guys if they can help me out. Hopefully you can download the mission soon.

I'll prepare the missions and post ASAP.

 

Update: Delay while I work out DropBox bandwidth concerns.

For those who cannot wait until the files are posted, you can convert them on your own to a compatible version:

1. Open the mission editor.  It's in the BOS installation folder:  IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\editor\STEditor.exe
2. Open one of the missions in the folder where you have Albert's life missions. File -> Open
3. Once its loaded, go to the Tools menu, and Click on the Resave all missions in folder.

It will take a while so be patient. The editor is also prone to crash, so retry if it happens.

Hi guys,

 

Finally I got internet here, poor one but still. Will upload everything this week.

Hello,

 

I have a problem in the beginning of mission 4 : the leader commit suicide when the squad is on the runway : he ask to takeoff and then go to the right with full throttle til his plane explodes on a hangar.

Then I have the message "time to land" and "You have achieved the main objective"  .

I will take a look at mission 4 as soon as I get home tomorrow afternoon. About the time to land and Main objective, well the first is triggered by time so probably the IA spent to much time before taking off. The second is the main objective in all missions, survive and land back home.

I looked at that in the ME, but couldn't find the cause. The other AI take off fine! (I thought it might be because the leader seems to jettison his bombs before throttling up. Strange!)

 

Anyway, Haashashin, the missions are brilliant - really atmospheric and full of little features. They really show off what the sim can do. Many thanks.

Thanks Swallow, now I will see how hard is to adapt it to the new scripted campaing system or if I leave it like this untill new project is done.

 

 

Missions dont work now.

Updating them to new format as I type this. Mind you I have a very slow internet now so dont know how long it will take to place them online.

[Dakpilot]

Thanks very much for the effort

 

not trying to sound bossy, but don't forget to update M4T also 

 

Cheers Dakpilot

[SYN_Haashashin]

don't forget to update M4T also 

Last time I tried my uploading speed aint enought to upload it to M4T so I think the only option I have is to leave a link in the description to here.

Link on the first post is broken, it says File not found. Could you fix it, please ? Really want to give a try on your campaign! 

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

404 error!

[SYN_Haashashin]

Uploading it to Dropbox as I type, expect it later today. See edit

I re-check it couple of times and leader (at least now) do take off no problems seen by me.

Edit/Update: I only need some (well lots) pics and I will release it as a scripted campaing, so I think its better for you to wait and play it that way. Also Dropbox and my uploading speed is giving me trouble.

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi all,

 

I finally got to upload the files and now Albert´s Life is a scripted campaign using latest tools released by the devs.

 

First post updated with it.

Thank you!!!

[Lusekofte]

I killed Albert........ 

 A little mishap in placement in formation, me and #2 was not agreeing on the right spot.

 

 

But I restarted the campaign so now he is alive again   And what a pleasure to fly wingman in a single player again . Good sceneries for ferry flights in the I 16 . Just done two missions this evening. Feel like old IL 2 campaign witch I missed greatly.

Many thanks for this, it means a lot for me feeling I am flying for real, very atmospheric. I buy VVS campaigns, so please bring more if you find the time

Dear Hasshahin,

 

I wanted to say thank you so much for this scripted campaign. The middle missions have meant that I've fallen in love with the Mig 3! It's taken a week to learn how to taxi and take off in it, with bombs and with out! ( I still make the odd school boy errors and my landings leave much to be desired). There's tons of help out there for learning how to fly it and Han's videos in particular helped a lot. The effort was utterly worth it and the sense of achievement of finally cracking mission 3 beyond words! A moment in computer gaming / sims I will never forget!

 

It's been utterly gripping. Thank you for your hard work!

Beautiful video! 

[Hartigan]

Thank you for this campaign ! It´s a masterpiece but i`ve got problems with mission 8 Retaliation. My two wingmen stop taxiing and disappear from command menu. "Time to land" message appears and wingmen wont follow me anymore.

 

Edit: i reinstalled campaign and issue still occured in that mission, i ignore them and continue flying to target zone. However they came back to live and took off after 5 min :D Let see how they behave in next missions. 

Edited February 9, 2017 by Hartigan

[SYN_Haashashin]

Thank you Hartigan,

 

You were right, I did a quick test and the wingmen actually take off no problem but there is a problem in that mission due to the IA taking too long to be in place to take off. I did a quick fix and found a permanent solution for next campaign.

 

Find the mission attached. Unzip at Alberts Life folder.

08 - Retaliation.zip

[Hartigan]

Thank you for quick fix!

I also tested it third time and noticed that i really have to give them time to start engines and taxi. I cannot rush to the runway without them, or they will get lost and stop taking commands. I need to wait taxi clearence etc. Thats good, thanks!

[Alex911]

Hello,

First of all, I would like to offer you a big THANK YOU for your great work! I had already played all your missions before you made it a scripted campaign...

I especially liked to start with the I-16 as a young cadet, and then evolve to the MIG-3, and finally command the patrol.

 

When you transformed the missions into a campaign, I deleted the files in my "Missions" folder, and then downloaded the new files into my "Campaign" folder.

A couple days ago, I decided to replay the whole campaign.

When doing so, I noticed I could not see the nice diary pictures anymore, but just text on a grey background. Same with other nice screens I used to see at the end of the missions.

 

I finally discovered that in the campaign xxx.mission files, some command lines still refer to the "Missions" folder, when they should now refer to the "Campaign" folder.

As an example:

 

 MCU_TR_Media
  {
    Index = 61;
    Name = "Diary";
    Desc = "";
    Targets = [];
    Objects = [];
    XPos = 106928.556;
    YPos = 120.479;
    ZPos = 229736.393;
    XOri = 0.00;
    YOri = 174.89;
    ZOri = 0.00;
    Enabled = 1;
    Config = "missions\alberts life\media\diary version 1.jpg"; (should read "campaigns\alberts life\media\diary version 1.jpg";)
    TotalTime = 35;
    ExpandTime = 1;
    FadeTime = 1;
    Opacity = 100;
    RColor = 77;
    GColor = 67;
    BColor = 75;
    MediaType = 0;
  }

 

I copied again all the "media" folder to my "Missions" folder, and now it works alright.

I suppose the proper way to do it would be to change all references to "missions\..." into "campaigns\..." in the xxx.mission files.

 

I wanted to highlight this issue, as people having downloaded and installed the campaign directly without having played the old missions first might not even know those nice pictures and diary existed...

 

Anyway, thanks again for your nice work, I love it!

Hi Alex,

 

Thank you very much!!! The problem is that the route set in the ME for the pics,diary, music etc... is to the missions folder not the campaign one. Rookie mistake there and that happens when you simply convert it without any testing, sorry.

 

You can manually fix it or wait until later tonight or tomorrow at latest (cant hold back my other work right now) for me to fix it and uploaded.

[Alex911]

Thanks Haash,

 

I manually fixed them in the meantime.

It works properly now!  

Edited February 21, 2017 by Alex911

[SYN_Haashashin]

I already fixed it on ME. Will upload it later today.

 

Thanks again Alex

[SYN_Haashashin]

Hi all,

 

Sorry for the delay, here you can find the new version: http://www.mediafire.com/file/flum03knqxaemcq/Alberts_Life.rar

 

Unzip at campaign folder and it should be save/progress friendly. My apologies to those that downloaded this and did not have the unscripted set of mission for the huge "bug"/mistake made by me. Hope you will give the mission a second go.
