[Release] Tyrant's Virtual Mission Tools (VMT)
-
nothing else going on on my DSL line (usually maxing out at around 16Mbit/sec for downloads), I was just wondering (contacted Tyrant via PM, not meaning to clog the thread or anything).
It could also be some s3 syncing going on within the various AWS regions.
All the best, Uwe

Seems that I found a bug, but it could also be one in the Ostsee-Theater:

Hey Tyrant,
as I opened various TEs, I got this errormessage:
No matter which theater I chose, in the message was always shown the balkan-path (Balkan currently not installed)
Interesting. It should be figuring out which theater to use based on the path to the TE or CAM file you’re opening selecting. Can you post the full path of one of the mission files you’ve tried? I would assume that it’s under “C:\Falcon BMS U1\Data\Add-On Balkans”, but given that you said “no matter which theater I chose” perhaps that’s not true.
Sorry you’re having trouble!

Interesting. I haven’t tried the Ostee theater yet. I will see if I can reproduce this.
I assume that from your perspective, the bug that Team #0 shows up, not that the Russian flag is sideways. Is that correct?
-
No,
the Problem for me is that Rossia appears under the NATO flag and the NATO under the Danish one. -
No,

Will fix. Thanks for the report!

Hello, Tyrant.
I suppose that you already know this issue, but please let me point the same that also in KTO ROK’s and DPRK’s flags don’t show as they should be supposed to - something like to what happens in other theaters anyway, as far I can see from previous posts, take this mine as a ‘post-it’:
@Tyrant:And another matter: did you sure have in mind to let open a tactical view of the targets, cities, infrastructures and so on, just as is possible from the recon view in BMS? Or perhaps am I asking too much and this is not technically possible?
Thanks for your attention and patience.
With best regards,

Yep, looks like the same bug. That one is going to get fixed very soon.
And another matter: did you sure have in mind to let open a tactical view of the targets, cities, infrastructures and so on, just as is possible from the recon view in BMS? Or perhaps am I asking too much and this is not technically possible?
Yeah, I’d like to see that happen, too. I’m not sure what form it would actually take; 3D adds considerably complexity, but a 2D overhead view should be doable. Maybe even something where if you zoom the map in enough you start to see individual elements of a unit or objective rather than just its symbol.
Anyway, that one is not immanent, but as it clearly has value for mission planning it’s something I’d like to include. Thanks for the suggestion!

Here are three paths:
*C:\Falcon BMS U1\Data\Campaign\Save, C:\Falcon BMS U1\Data\Add-On Ostsee\Campaign, C:\Falcon BMS U1\Data\Add-On Istrael\Campaign*
Add-On Balkan currently not installed.
I’ve switched from Ostsee to Korea. At both theaters came the errormessage.Regards

Do you have the Balkans theater listed in your C:\Falcon BMS U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\theater.lst file? I’m guessing what happened is it’s listed there even though it’s not installed and VMT is failing when the corresponding theater definition can’t be found.
You’re looking for a line in that file like this:
Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Balkans.tdf
If it’s there, and you don’t have that theater installed, you should probably remove it. But VMT should also be more tolerant of problems like this one.
Let me know what you find: if that’s not it we’ll keep digging.

Figured out the flag bug: I was using the team number rather than the team flag number. Worked great in missions where team 1 happened to have flag 1, but obviously that’s not always the case.
Testing the fix now - should be able to ship it soonish.

New Release
Version: v047
64-bit download
32-bit downloadThis release fixes the issue with showing the wrong flags, and the errors that some people were seeing with an error message like “No item 3739 in vector of length 1666”.
Thanks to those who reported these bugs! I imagine we’ll find a few more, since it’s getting a lot more usage now, but that’s typical for the early days of a public release.
* Change Log ** v047 [2017-08-25 Fri] - Use correct flags for teams. - Fix errors loading related to objective names. - Error when reading the last string in the strings file. - Error when reading the objective name of a carrier objective. ** v045 - Initial public release

Feature request here!!!
Great tool bro!!
when maximizing the window to full screen, could you make more map area instead of 50% map window and 50% options?
the biggest option is the flight box, and there are some unused area on the right when 1920*1080 resolutionthanks

So, I thought about that: it’s the way it is intentionally, although I’m open to discussion. Basically, it gets as big as it can get without having any portion of the map off the screen. Since the map area is square (BMS maps are square), I can’t make it any wider without having some of the map area outside the visible part of the screen. Having any of the map off-screen would mean that we’d need a mechanism to scroll in addition to a mechanism to pan the map view. Not impossible to do, of course, but I thought it would lead to a more confusing user interface.
Hopefully that made any sort of sense.
I suppose I could set it up so that the map just gets rectangular instead of having an off-screen area, and require people to pan, or allow the map not to fill the entire viewing area when zoomed out all the way. I’m not sure whether I like that more or not, but again, I’d be interested in hearing opinions.
Thanks for the feedback!

I made a ten-minute intro video:
-
No sir. No Balkan in the List. But…I started your Tool on my older PC and…
it works… I don’t know why… I think my flight-pc is a little bit weird:blowpar: -
Maybe it’s mentioned here before but couldn’t really find it when browsing through the replies, but I tried loading several Balkans 3.5 TE’s and they all stop at “loading objectives”. I get a red cross instead of the green checkmark and it stops there. Any clue what I’m doing wrong?

Can you click the text that says “Show Error”, scroll down so you can see the error text, and paste it here? Hopefully we can figure out what’s up. Also, be sure you are running the latest version (v047) as I fixed some bugs in the version that I initially launched with.
