Mission generator - how?

[von_Tom]

All,

 

I've downloaded/extracted the files to my installation folder but when I run the MissionGen.exe it flickers and that's about it.  I was hoping for some kind of GUI to put parameters in such as map, mission type, player aircraft, weather and so on etc.

 

The readme file doesn't help me so has anyone got a straightforward guide how to use it?

Mission Gen?

You need to run the editor exe

BoS/bin/editor 

 

Edit...Ahh...I see what you're talking about now in the release notes.

Not even looked yet to be honest. Have you checked the contents of your Missions folder after using it to see if it has generated random missions into there?

That is a bit helpful but I cannot even get the generator to run.

ps  To others, I am not talking about the normal editor but the new mission generator released with 3.006.

Have you tried running from a command prompt to see if it prints a help message of any form?

There is a Lapino batch file and it has all kinds of bad paths in it. If you fix the paths and run the batch file it will generate a mission in the mission folder. You can then open that mission with the STEditor.  If you run the mission generator from the command line, it opens up a help section that  there should be some parameters to missiongen,...
