Latest Update (4.501)

[JG4_Deciman]

Hi there

 

Some changes to mission editing...

 

As I wasn't able to open some (!) of my missions (.mission) after installing the update

and my dServer refused to load only (!) the same missions as .bin, too

I used the resaver for one of my missions not running.

It took a while but I was able to open it afterwards and check the differences.

 

Only 1 line was completely new:

 

...

  CloudConfig = "summer\01_Light_01\sky.ini";
  SeaState = 0;
  Turbulence = 0;
  TempPressLevel = 0;
  Temperature = 25;
  Pressure = 760;
  Haze = 0;
  WindLayers
  {

...

 

And it only seems to affect missions containing clouds

 

Maybe that helps to easily 'repair' missions, campaigns or whatever

PS: You should resave your missions even if they still load after the update

Thanks for posting, indeed, pre 4.501 missions won't load.

 

Now i wonder if pre 4.501 Groups and Campaigns still work.

None of my missions will load and the mission editor won't recognize any of my mission files. Don't know what to do.

I am now in the process of re-saving all my missions from within the editor, under drop-down menu tools.

It's a lot of work, and very, very time consuming, and the process also occasionally crashes the ME ...

There should be a standalone tool for that published by IL2 for those who don't know the how's  IMO.

Wonder if the Cloud MODs that where going around still work. For safety i did not install them now.

I just tried one mission which worked now I'm doing all the missions in the mission folder, so we'll see how that goes. Now at least even if I have to do one at a time it will still work. So thanks again!!
