Beebop Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 From the new update.... "Please take in attention: adding Haze option to the mission format makes previously saved .msnbin mission files obsolete. Delete them and save the new version using .Mission files." So now I have to re-save every mission I made? WTF? Why wasn't this done automatically with the update? Do they realize that mission builders build a lot of missions and how long this can take? Imagine the campaign maker with a couple of 30 mission campaigns and all the Multipalyer/dogfight missions that have been made by community members! Even using the "Resave All Missions in Folder" from Tools take a long time. besides the wait for the ME to re-save the missions, which each new folder you have to navigate through the tree to get to the folder. Look, this haze might be a great new feature but what you have to do to use it was shortsighted IMO. The ME itself can be frustrating enough and now this. ?

You can pick a high-level folder and the resave feature will resave missions in all the lower folders. 1
Beebop Posted September 17, 2020 Author Posted September 17, 2020 So I can click "Multiplayer" and all the missions in the sub-folders will be re-saved? That helps. Thank God for COVID-19 as I have the time to take most of my day to re-save all the missions I have made and downloaded.

Hi gents I've never done this before. What does 'save the new version using .Mission files' mean? Where can I find the .exe please? Cheerzen

Navigate to your game location > data > Missions or Multiplayer and highlight one of those folders. 4. Click OK 5. Have dinner, watch a movie, play a game of chess. I'm resaving my Multiplayer folder now. I have over a hundred missions, templates etc. including stuff I've downloaded. So far it's been 40 minutes but it is resaving.
Beebop Posted September 17, 2020 Author Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Hmmm, I picked 'Multiplayer' folder and after an hour I got an error message but am not clear on the error. I have not yet found how far the re-save got but early letter folders seem OK. Will advise when the mission/folder causing the error is found (this could just be my error, not a system error) Edited September 17, 2020 by Beebop
Gambit21 Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Usually works for me, but picked a mission from the folder after the process was finished and it failed to open. I had to delete the .msbin and resave the mission I was working on manually. FFS I'd better not have to do this with every mission.
