Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
-
That is odd. I would try to reinstall.
No change after a new install. Just to check I tried replacing the sounds with the default sounds. There is no change. I also do not hear any chatter in the 2d campaign map view. Of course, that option is checked “on” in the sound setup menu.
-
And try to contact any other developer in order to make them “active” only at night or with bad weather.
Maybe demer, Eghi or any other can help you here… Any one that knows and want, please post that. Thank you.Here is lost switch_0. It’s easy to fix in LodEditor or the best way is… do it in 3dsMax source file. It also requires a small correction in the Parent record.
This is 2 minutes work. Let me know if you need help.
Cheers

I can confirm about missing sounds in 2D , on tactical map, even with 1B version, but I didn’t care that much .
Now, in 3D everything sounds about right, … that is, for me -clean install. Carrier ops included. (other then Balkans ATC names, which don’t exist in our tlk , but they do in LP’s:evil: )
Well, sometimes when pronouncing callsigns numbers, like Sting9-1, are declared like (Sting-Key Mike) - missing sound naming(tlk), but not in all situations,… that could be something with indexing problem, because in other situations, like ATC comms, they are pronounced just fine.edit: Confirmed, 2D sounds not playing in tac (TE), but, working in cam (campaign) mode

Hello there my friend.
Well please DO NOT trust Google, Wikipedia and in general the Internet for a such important matters like are anything that concerns the airports and their stuff!
My suggestions to my friend “cougar56th” that we are in a very close cooperation are from REAL data (AIS - AIP - AD - AD 1.3)!
So yes, now Ljubljana airport (LJLJ) has the name “Brnik” and the airport at Bari (LIBD) has now the name “Palese”. **That is clear and official as per today, no room here for arguments ;).
Also keep in mind that I already started the creation of the new NavAids and their list for Balkans theater and with them, ALL the airports names will be corrected/updated.
In the next version of Balkans you will enjoy them.
Nikos.No problem at all friend.
If You wanna recreate situation from '99. Then I agree 100% , that is why I’ve asked , ‘Is it by design?’
It was kinda strange that one time was named one thing , and then another, so I’ve thought it was mistake, rather then update.
So far LJubljana was original name even from 4.0spX and AF. But Brnik is just fine with meYou’ve got some errors in all 3 saveX.cam files primary on AD units, airdefencing, reserving objectives 200nm far , probably , when objectives were renumbered camp-id , so now those units are
trying to move over water even from Italy to Serbia.
But, maybe, havent tried yet, when starting campaign and unit realizes that path is invalid , will revert to stay in place… just FYI.And … , Ancona Port has magically moved to southWEST Sicily (damn teleport from Spaceballs ), and Ancona AD unit now wants there too… so much about defending town
None of this quirks are biggie, so, again, THANKS for hard work to everybody, including that unknown 9th Italian artist which work turned this playground into eyecandy.
Cheers

Figured out what’s with movies…
(I do have KMEGA codec pack installed, but using only LAV/64 codecs, ffdshow is disabled… so…)
Aparently my (only?) machine or even BMS, doesn’t like XVID codec anymore, KTO’s (BMS) movies are H264 and play just fine… was something gone wrong with new exe or else, I can’t say…
When I’ve copied KTO’s movie to Balkans moviedir , and renamed to BP.avi , it played OK.Complete fix would be easy , just reencode movies to H264 with ffmpeg or whatever … maybe it’s time to quit xvid …
edit: this has worked for me
ffmpeg -i usorg.avi -c:a copy -c:v libx264 us.avi

Whitefang, you seem to know a lot about audio media. Could my problem be related to a codec? Is there something I should try to see if the radio calls will play correctly in the 3d world?
-
Cannot open the .zip file to install. Says windows says the file is invalid. Tried downloading on my Mac also, and it won’t show the compressed files.
-
I had to re upload it….you might have been downloading it while I was uploading it. Try to download it again and see if it works. It is finished uploading again.

It is hard to say at glance, could be that you use some weird codec/directshow combination, but let’s not complicate things in advance.
Now what I want you to try is go into Balkans sound directory , usually \Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Sounds\ , and try to play some sound from there , if they work just on doubleclick that’s ok, one thing solved.Next, try to obtain some vorbis/.ogg sound file from wherever (internet) , save to your computer, and do same try doubleclick, it should play with your player.
It is important that you try exactly that extension (.ogg) , because that type of codec is used for falcon comms,…edit: actually , does music plays in main screen ? , can you try to open \Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Music\ … ui1.ogg - ui6.ogg from win explorer , they are in .ogg (vorbis)
If that passed … then we’ll see.
You can pm me with results so we move this from general balkans report thread.Regards

**Note: You only need this Update if you downloaded the main install named Balkans_4.33.1c.zip. If you have the main install named Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip…
I´m a little confused, but where can i get the Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip ? .
The link in the first Post refers still to the Balkans_4.33.1c.zip -
How to I select the Balkan Theater. I installed the 4.33 Balkan Campaign and the updater. I go into the Falcon BMS Config page, then into Campaigns and I don’t see any campaigns - not even the Korean one. Am I suppose to look somewhere else?
Thanks!

Did you install the correct Balkans_4.33.1c plus the appropriate Updater? If so, did you select The Balkans in your THEATER list (one of the main UI page menu items)?

You need to go to Theaters and switch to the Balkans
-
there is no Balkans theatre in the ui list

there is no Balkans theatre in the ui list
Did you run the installer? It should be been automatically pointed to your bms folder. You didn’t install the update and not the main did you?

maybe I will check
