Mission Commander beta release

Arty, thank you, that worked great, but I am confused because the previous version of winrar was working just fine on all .zip, .rar files just not the MC or WC so it never dawned on me to change that.
-
They are all zipped with 7Zip, not so they are not a rar

Hey,
For at least 80% of the users of MC, you really donāt need a manual. The buttons and functions do what is written on it.
With most of the advanced features come a little explanation if the form of a question before you continue.Only when you are building a theater from scratch, it would be handy to have a good background knowledge.
But that means explaining how the BMS database is build up, all the pointers and links in the code.
That manual will be much thicker than the manual which comes with BMSMake a backup of the files you are working on (just in case) and than donāt be afraid to try and play with the features.
So the short version of a manualā¦
- Start the MC and open the mission you want to edit (File, Open)
- Enjoy editing what you want.
- Save the mission.

Hello,
i have on two computers the following error with the Mission Commander 0.5.0
ValidAC.act has more Entries than lised on the top!
Nr on top: 213, Items: 214Does anyone know what i can do to fix this problem?
Regards,

change the number at top of Valid AC list to what it says try 214
the newest update changed a little I think it counts the top number as a AC.your valid ac file is in your campaign folder
this started happening to me also after latest upgrade witch is awesome btw

Nope, it does not count the first line as an AC.
The difference is that MC does this check now and reports if there is something wrong.
It reports what is wrong in the message.You can ignore this message completely as it does have effect for a normal user.
Its a feature for theater builders.Or you can solve this by letting MC create a new list.
To do this, check the list on the left and make sure all AC are selected that need to be flyable.
Than create new Validacand save.Gr Falcas

hey Arty - thanks for that really useful reply.

that is great because ive been copying Balkans Valid AC and adding it to my own then changing the number at the top just to get the f14 aggressor to work.
its a default bms jet but only works in Balkans. Now I Know the correct an easier way. Your Mission Commander is Great. I like the station ILS list upgrades to. seeing the runway you are editing makes it a breeze. -

The one where I asked if there was a MC guide and you said write your own - hey why didnāt I think of that ??? ho yes I remember know its because I donāt know how it works, which is why I asked the question in the first place.
Silly me !!!
-
I didnāt told you that m8. I said we (including me) should help and start writing a manual for this wonderful tool.
And Falcas those 20% left might need it most to produce what 80% will use.Sent from TapaTalk

my misunderstanding - happy to do the āidiot testingā on any documentation that comes out - if I can understand it anyone can - I make an excellent āidiotā as I have just demonstrated ;0)

I am indeed the proud owner of an āOldFartsā badge - I just cant remember where I put it :oops:

Ironman,
Mission commander was basically just a tool to change load outs in missions a while back but it seems like I blinked and then it was a genetically enhanced Tacedit on steroids!
This is a very useful tool thanks to Falcas but a manual would be a mountain of paperwork. Much of it is doing the same thing Tacedit did but more user friendly. Try messing around with it and make a list of the aspects you dont understand and maybe we can start Users User manual from there. -
Please take this as a positive reply and I do read you post as very positive.
So first thanks!Mission commander was basically just a tool to change load outs in missions a while back but it seems like I blinked and then it was a genetically enhanced Tacedit on steroids!
Howeverā¦ what you write here is really not true. Except for the steroids part
MC has been a TacEdit replacement from the first public release and TacEdit has not been used in the dev team for years.If someone is using old tools and just now starting to discover that new tools are availible (and better) what can I sayā¦
Anyway, I see you post as a complement, so thanks again.

sorry to misrepresent MC. That blink I was talking about was me being out of the loop offline for several years. I only remembered that load outs was all I did with MC way, way back then so I just inadvertently belittled your effort from that time. Yes I am just discovering how nice MC is over the last year or so and am very pleased.
