Combat log in Co-op

[Ledg]

Am I doing this wrong? I create a coop mission which saves into my playable IL2 directory. (happens to be under Steamapps) I then copy those files over to the Dserver directory in order to create a coop server that my friend can join. Complete the mission then go back into PWCG to claim the victories, generate another mission and carry on. 

 

Unfortunately I get a 'log doesn't exist' error. I presume because the log is sitting in my Dserver directory rather than the Il2 playable where PWCG can read it.

 

What's the best way to get a co-op campaign that proceeds and evolves like it does in single mode?

 

Thanks.

it's not finding the mission log files.  Not sure where a DServer writes them but hopefully somebody here can chime in.  In the game startup.cfg file you can also specify a directory, but again, not sure if the server honors that.

I found what I believe is the mission log (mlg) file in the DServer directory DATA/Flightlogs which has the correct timestamp and copied it over to the same directory in my IL2 playable but I still get the same error.

mlg files are binary versions of the mission logs - you need the txt files (this needs the appropriate setting in the Dserver's startup.cfg)

I noticed that when I tried to open it with a text editor. Changed the mission_text_log = 1 setting in the DServer startup and flew a co-op but, if it produced a text file I don't know where to find it. The mlg file for the flight was produced in the DServer Flightlog directory. 

 

Interestingly, the startup config in the non-DServer version has an entry for text_log_folder = "" but the DServer startup does not.

 

Any idea where those mission text files are?

By default the text logs are in the data directory - the one containing the flightlogs directory.
