For some reason i cant get the mission description to populate. I put it in the description box on the mission properties when I'm making the mission. I have read about the localization in the manual but it always says "There is no mission description" on the box in the game for mission briefing. Cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. anyone else seen this?

 

Also looks like none of the subtitle translator's work either.

Making missions using an ME.exe in a different drive then your Game.exe,  or building missions from a drive outside your game directory while the game is running at the same time can cause this.  Simple solution if this is the case is run ME from the same drive your run your game, open the mission in question and just save it.

Ahh, so my ME is at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\editor\STEditor.exe" on my Dev/Game computer.

On my dserver computer the game is at "C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game"

 

The dev/game computer is a steam install. The dserver was an installer downloaded from website. How can i resolve this issue or should i reinstall the dserver with the steam version?

JIMTm i tried your mission on my deserver and i had the same problem with yours. I believe it worked on your server, so i guess it has something to do with my server. Hope we can pinpoint this and figure it out.

I think that somehow you are missing the original contents of the .eng file in your DServer PC. Did you copy all the mission files (except for .mission) over to your DServer (.eng, .fra, .list, .msnbin, etc.)? Leave out the .mission file because it's not needed to run the mission and it takes long to download for each coop player.

 

Do the following:

1. On your Steam game editor, save the mission in your game directory under \data\Multiplayer\Cooperative or a subdirectory of that (e.g., \data\Multiplayer\Cooperative\MyCoopMission).

2. If you created a subdirectory in step 1 for your mission, create the same one on your DServer PC.

2. Copy all of the mission files, except for the .mission file, to your DServer directory under \data\Multiplayer\Cooperative or a subdirectory of that.

Ok, i was not copying the .eng and other files, only the .misbin file. I was working on some bad information that the .misbin was a compiled file and had everything in it. But now i have included the other files and im getting a 10016 error when trying to connect to the server. I took a look at the .list file for the mission and its blank. I think this file is supposed to point to the language files, but none of mine are populated. Any idea why this is?

JIMTm thanks for your help. you got me pushed in the right direction. Here is the lessons that i have learned with this problem in case anyone else has it.

  • Make sure the path you develop the mission matches the path on the server where the file lives.
  • build your mission files in the game folder "data\multiplayer\cooperative" not outside or your .list file may be blank.
  • be sure to copy all files to the server except the .Mission file.
  • Don't forget to set your localization when creating the mission.

After doing all these things everything is working as expected.

For what it's worth, I have a working setup where I develop and edit on a Steam version of the game, but the server has a non-Steam distribution. I use the "mission resaver" command-line executable to "resave" the mission on the server computer. This seems to fix path issues like the one you encountered:

 

MissionResaver.exe -t -d "C:\PATH\TO\IL2\data" -f "C:\PATH\TO\IL2\data\Multiplayer\Dogfight\MY-MISSION.Mission"
