[Release] Tyrant's Virtual Mission Tools (VMT)
-
Sorry if this has been asked but I haven’t read all 33 pages. Is this good for 4.35 U1?

I think so. I’m not actively flying so I’m a bit disconnected, but my understanding is that there are no database changes in U1, which is what would break VMT. So it should work with either 4.35 release .

Weird I just saw this. I try to monitor for messages in case people are having problems so apologies for not responding sooner.
I’m actually glad you wrote because I have continued to try to troubleshoot the earlier problem without luck. Are you seeing the same error message? Any additional details would be helpful.
Glad you find the tool useful. Let’s see if we can’t get it working again.

This is the only error message I get after loading the ‘.cam’ file. It’s a Campaign save from Kuwait 64 4.35.1.

There’s a good chance that’s a database error in the Kuwait theater. The BMS database is a complicated beast and I have seen tons of errors in nonstandard theaters. Even Balkans was a bit messy for a while.
I might be able to compensate for this one. I’ll have to try it out once I get Kuwait installed. Might have some time to spend on it in the next few days.

4.35.1 saw some minor DB-changes compared to 4.35.

Hi, dear Tyrant.
Any news, maybe?
With best regards.

Argh, no. I have had “look into VMT problems” on my to-do list for weeks now, and every time I see it I feel guilty. I just haven’t put the time into it yet - I’ve got a million projects going, and I just need to make the time for this one. I know I’ve said this before, but I will try to do so soon. Apologies.
-
Well, I see your point here, dear Tyrant.
Thanks for your quick and frank (most of all) reply. But please don’t forget to find some time to fix it out…
I too am awaiting to use your useful tool again, you see. And thanks for understanding!
With best regards.

Thanks for the bug report. I will take a look at it soon. And yes, I realize I’ve been saying “soon” to the above for a long time. Sorry! Life, you know? I really do plan to spend some time on this and the other reports in the near future.
BTW the attachment doesn’t seem to work - I get an error when I click on the link.

The attachment seems to be broken for me too. Heres a new one.

OK, thanks. I can see that one. Lazy question: which theater?

So not only a lazy question but a dumb one on my part! I see you were clear about that from the beginning. I was assuming polar vortex was a campaign name in one of the existing theaters. Never even heard of the theater. I’ll have to install it and check it out.
I will say that many of the less-used theaters contain garbage data that throws VMT off. Even Balkans was a problem for a while. But I’ll take a look and see what I can figure out.

I thought polar vortex was pretty well known, there was even a TvT on it.

I’m sure it is. It’s a measure of how sadly disconnected I have become these last few years. Just haven’t been able to fit flying in at this stage of life/family/etc.
Anyway, thanks for the report! I will look into it and get back to y’all.

Nothing to report yet, other than that I actually did spend time on this this weekend. Upgraded BMS and installed a few theaters before I ran out of time. Will work on this again soon - I’m putting my other side projects on hold until I can address these issues.

Good news! I believe I have Kuwait and Polar Vortex working. Apparently the XML files that make up part of the database can have gaps in them, where two consecutive items don’t have consecutive indicies. I’ve accounted for this now. Also, VMT was attempting to load images it doesn’t have a path to. There’s still a bug where it’s not computing the path correctly but at least now it will load the campaign. This bug is visible in the Polar Vortex campaign in that the flag for Germany (and I think Sweden) don’t show up properly. But I think I will put this out as it is on the dev channel for y’all to test out and try to figure out what’s up with those flags later.
Unfortunately I’m still completely stumped on your issue, Jackal. It’s possible that something I did in this release fixed it, but it would be by accident. Still, give it a try and see what it does. There are still a few things we can try if it’s not working for you.
