Full Mission Builder how to for Multiplayer

[4SCT_Vespa]

I start this topic mainly because I need some help to figure out how to use FMB in multiplayer, but I hope this could come in handy for other brave players that want to write mission for online playing.

 

I have downloaded the YoYo FMB guide ( other resources in that page seems no more available) and using the guide available at the following link ( thanks Sokol) : https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/65001-fmb-full-mission-builder-for-dummies/

 

So I started with a very basic mission, just to see if all works in remote server; so, selected Tobruk map, added few aircraft at a couple of airfield, uploaded the mission and briefing file into the server and started the server using the following guide: https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32968

 

Now, the issues:

- when a try to load the mission I get he following messages ( errore about no map).

I really don't know what's the issue, since the map has been selected into the FMB, any hint on this? Thanks

 

In any case, I tried to start the same the game...got the message: mission not loaded.

 

Now, even if I got these errors, the server is listed in the server list IL2 game.

If I select it I got the prompt message for password (( right now is password protected), wrote the password I get a message on screen saying "Waiting for fight"....with no furter actions....the game doesn't go forward...

Now, is this message due to missing mission or there could be other issues?

 

EDIT: attached files mission in zipped file.

I created a new folder into C:\Users\Federico\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Multi\Missions named it Addestramento. In that folder there are the missions file....very basic, as I wrote.

 

Thanks a lot for any help...these are just first steps....

Can you add the mission file to the post?

Sure DD_FT, attached file to first post. Thanks a lot for your patience and support...lots of things to learn ....and very few documentation around here

Thanks.

Your mission loads fine over here.

 

But now I do see I may have been giving you incorrect instructions to load the mission into the server. Oops. Sorry about that. I tried to simplify it all a bit, but may have gone too far there. But, looks like you found the proper info already.

 

The cause could be simple : I think the very first error generated (which is not shown due it scrolling off at the top) will be System.IO.IOException: File not found: and the reason is does that is that you need to add the relative file path to the missLoad command.

In your case:  "missions\Multi\Addestramento.mis" or maybe "missions\Multi\Missions\Addestramento.mis"

Ah! That was the trick!

Thanks a lot DD_FT, no need to say sorry...I just have to say a big thanks to you for invaluable help and feedback.

In the lack of documentation it's really important to share info, experiences and knowledge...it's the only way to go ahead
