[Release] Tyrant's Virtual Mission Tools (VMT)
-
Version 62 - got it. Sorry I missed that in your original message.
Super weird about the theaters. I’ll have a look. It’ll probably be the weekend before I can get to it. I’ll let you know what I find.
-
Please don’t worry for anything, dear Tyrant.
I was only answering to your fair questions, that’s all.
I have one for you, BTW: that “Virtula” thing is due to a my bad mistyping when naming the VMT installation directoryon my PC/system.
Take care and stay safe, most of all.
With best regards.

The format probably changed. I will take a look, hopefully this weekend, as I am currently away from home. If you could post the PPT you’re trying to load, I might be able to use it to take a look a bit earlier.
As far as I can tell, it’s all PPTs I try to add to the map. The label and ring displays, but no diamond.
I’m not loading them from a file (although being able to load a DTC file would be amazing), just trying to manually add them to the map.

Ah, okay, thanks, that’s helpful. You can see how seldom I work on it when I can’t even remember the features.
This past weekend totally blew up on me. Will try to get to this soon.

OK, found it. I’m uploading a new build now. Should be available shortly.

Thnaks for your quick reply, dear Tyrant.
As I said before, I’m currently using the last Win64 version available, so it is v. 0.62.
And all the theaters listed are actually installed and working, then you supposed it correctly that is VMT thinking they’re not.
I’m wondering why, by the way, because I’d like to use VMT with those also.
About the rest, I was loading a Balkans .cam file, and not a previous VMT briefing file.
Here you go: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uen709zzdtxcrfc/Balnakns_SAVE0.zip/fileThanks in advance for your attention.
With best regards.
Haven’t forgotten about this one. Just going to take a bit longer to investigate.
-
And no one here dares to think the contrary, dear Tyrant, rest assured on that.
Take all the time you need to.
With best regards.

Argh spoke too soon. Stupid Javascript build tools break if you look at them funny. I had to completely re-do the build/packaging process when I upgraded for 4.35 and now they’re not working again.
I have a working version but I can’t post it until I can get this sorted.

OK, v063 posted with the fix for the PPT icon. I had to discontinue support for 32-bit versions to get the build to work. Probably about time anyway.
Still chasing down the problem with theaters. Hopefully can find it and post a fix this weekend.

Thanks for all your hard work and efforts, dear Tyrant.
And good luck!
With best regards.

✗Loading mission
✓Loading mission file into memory from C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\Data\Add-On Balkans\Campaign\SAVE5.CAM
✓Reading mission database versionOK, finally got some time to start to dig into this. It looks from the above lines that when you click “Load mission” you are selecting Save5.cam in the Balkans theater folder. But that file is not really a campaign file. It’s a template that the campaigns are based on. You should be loading a campaign file that you saved from within BMS after starting one of the campaigns.
That said, I’m able to load that file without the errors you’re seeing. Are you able to load other, normal campaign files? They might have names like “Save-Day 1 05 00 11.cam”.
I’m not sure what the source of the error message about theater definitions is. Can you share the contents of your C:/Program Files/Falcon BMS 4.35/Data/TerrData/TheaterDefinition/theater.lst file?
-
Sure thing, I’ll do that ASAP.
Only, in case please don’t be scared… there are just a few

hi, can this tool be used to monitor a MP campaign on a server somewhere? Or is it only for missions/campaigns that you host yourself ?

You need either the mission file or for the mission creator to share a “briefing file” with you. And there’s no live update.
I have some tutorial material on youtube that might be illuminating.
Happy to answer more questions, too.

Sorry for taking so long to get to this. Busy life. But I finally got my BMS updated to U1 and took a look at this. Honestly, I still can’t figure out what’s going on. It’s only complaining about some of the theaters you have installed, so something must be different.
Can you tell me, does the file C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\Data\Add-On LoriKTO\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\LoriKTO-.tdf exist? It would have to have exactly that path. It shouldn’t matter on Windows, but just in case can you tell me if the casing is any different? By that I mean, are any of the characters in the actual file path upper or lower case in a way that differs from what’s in the theater.lst file?
Also, something is a bit weird in the error message- there’s a space in “Data\Add-On BalkansLorik\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\BalkansLor ik-.tdf”. But maybe that’s just an artifact of copy and pasting into the forum?

This space is commented and detailed in the very post the link is available from.

Sorry, I’m sure I’m missing something, but I just re-read the thread and I don’t follow. Can you elaborate? Again, I’m sure I’m missing something - I’m a bit slow at times. Thanks.

Original post Lorik’s Balkans, explanation about spaces right after the lines.

Here I come to help you with my answers, dear Tyrant.
I too owe my apologies, my real life became ‘too much’ for my tastes even more than sometimes.So, let’s go:
Here is my current theater.lst file’s content as follows, and, most of all, pasted carefully in this post as just as showed in there:LIST OF ALL KNOWN THEATERS
Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Korea KTO.tdf
Add-On Korea TvT\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Korea_TvT.tdf
Add-On emf\Theaterdefinition\emf.tdf

So, as you can see now, you guessed it right.
A severe mistake has been made there with the character I’m used to choose when formatting my posts.
My deepest apologies to you and Lorik too. And that Lorik’s Balkans doesn’t exists in this list any longer, but all theaters’ reference files are correctly written.But this premitted and apologies given as due, that error is still and remains ‘just as it is’, unfortunately, as I checked a moment ago.
Hope sincerely this helped you in some way, but please feel always free to ask anything more or else you needed to.
Thanks again for all and with best regards.
