Regarding pwgc coop career mode

[Put_in_228]

Basically to be short I watched a tutorial on how to start coop through pwgc and also read stuff from some post about it, got the pwgc installed in game root folder which is D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad... The problem is that whenever I start a mission the mission itself does not appear on server host mission screen. I believe it doesn't get the mission files pasted into folder because I found nothing there.... Additionally I tried doing all this while app was launched in administrator mode but no luck. Would appreciate any help because I want to play career mode with my mates here and this generator feels promising!

Hoping a coop player wills step in as I have never set up a server.  PWCG writes missions to the in game mission directory.  Guessing a server reads from a different directory?

That's actually the problem, for some reason it doesn't write the mission in game mission directory. I launched the mission few times and while leaving pwcg open went to data/Multiplayer/Cooperative and found only example for cooperative mission which fortunately shows up on mission choosing screen... I believe for some reason I either managed to install it incorrectly or it doesn't write mission because of some error to the folder. As I said before I even tried launching it with admin privileges thinking that maybe app doesn't have rights to create files in folders but it didn't help. Same goes for singleplayer btw, or I don't know how to launch singleplayer mission through game which was made with pwcg

Are you talking about listen or dedicated coop server?

I use listen coop as host to play with friends very often and it is working fine, missions are located there:

Disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Multiplayer\Cooperative

About solo missions:

Disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Missions

 

Rarely i get a "corrupted" mission and can't load it/do not show on the missions list, i just scrub/delete it and proceed to another one.

If your folders are empty then PWCG is wrongly installed or something block you the right to write i guess.

Is the mission actually in the folder? 

 

If it is but the mission is not displayed: The game may choose not to show a mission if it believes that you do not own the human controlled planes.  I know that is true in SP but I'm not sure how or even if that is applied to coop.

I'm actually very sorry, I'm pretty sure I just was sleepy and didn't realize I didn't got to the point when mission is accepted by me and the files are written. Right now trying to get the mission written down on my Test campaign. Basically what I did is just click on create mission and was hoping to see the mission already in my files ? I will update in few minutes if everything works!

Everything works perfectly, took me longer than expected because had to get alteast one of my mates to join to see if everything works perfectly ingame. Thanks for wonderful generator and sorry for wasting your time, next time gonna pay more attention to tutorials . Thanks again for replies and generator, have a great day!
