How to update user created missions/campaigns for new software updates?

[FeuerFliegen]

I know this has been discussed here before, but I wasn't able to find the topic, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out here.

 

Just as the title says- I have lots of user created missions and campaigns that no longer work after the game has been updated, and most of them have not been updated on their original threads that I downloaded them on.  How do I update these?

 

I was under the impression that you would just open them up in the mission editor, and then re-save the file, but when I tried to open them just now, I would get a message stating "Error reading mission file!"

Super_Truite posted this recently, and it works too. Benefit is you can set it to work in the back ground without opening the Editor.

(access to the resaver.exe without starting the ME). Create a bat file.

For the .bat, I would personally use powershell instead. You can make a batch_resaver.ps1 script with the following content:
 

$pathresaver = "E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\resaver\MissionResaver.exe"
$pathdata = "E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data"
$pathmissions = "E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Missions\FME Manual - MP Missions"
Get-ChildItem $pathmissions -Filter *.mission | 
Foreach-Object {
    echo $_.FullName
    & $pathresaver -d $pathdata -f $_.FullName
}

You need to change the 3 first lines to match your installation paths.
To run it you need to right click and then 'run with powershell".


(if not activated on your system you might need to allow scripts: window key -> type powershell -> run as admin -> type the following command :
 

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

then hit enter and confirm)
