Mission Commander beta release
-
@ Falcas , Would it be possible to include the Taiwan Theater in Mission Commander ?
Theaters are made with the help of MC. There is no list of theaters.
-
Thanks but I just find 5.17 ver. only.
-
-
- Possible fix for reading Objective strings.
Confirm working even on 3rd party theaters. (export/import also works)
Thanks

What is the proper way to edit faction experience levels in a campaign?
We noticed that if we edit it in MC, save it, load it up in BMS 2D, save it there….
And the experience level will be reset to default.

I am trying to add a squadron to a campaign, using BMS U2 / misson commander 0.5.18.615
I have copied data/campaign/save1.cam -> tsave1.cam and save1.tri -> tsave1.tri
-loaded tsave1.cam into mission commander- Under the Campaign tab I have changed the Scenario and
Saved Name to “tsave1”
I added a squadron (5642) from the Units tab / Add Squadron and unchecked Control Set by HQ.
I ran the “Check Units” from Units / Advanced Options, got “no problems found”.
When I click on Campaign / Saved, under “Choose Squadron”
I only get “25th Squadron, 36th, 5th”My “5642” is not showing up.
And when I look at the 5th, 25th,36 squadrons in the Mission Commander / Units
all of their “Control Set by HQ” are *CHECKED" / onIs the “Control Set by HQ” the “controlling factor” to making my squadron
available in the UI ? - Under the Campaign tab I have changed the Scenario and

Well I got the idea of the “control hq” from this video :
Which is the only “documentation” I’ve found so far while searching for “bms falcon campaign creation”
If it’s not the hq “box”, then what do I need to do ?
Do the “*.cam” files need to be named saveX.cam (with X being … what ?)
I was trying to add an objective, but the left side of mission commander / objectives says “available” for only
saveX or te_new.So I copied my tsave1.cam, and tsave1.tri to save9.cam, save9.tri, but it still wouldn’t allow an objective to be added.
Is there some other “control file” governing what the *.cam files need to be named ?

,
I see that I need to click on the map to select the base where I put my squadron.OR (I discovered)
that in Mission Commander / Campaign / Misc /
the Player Squad drop down will set the default squadron / base - Under the Campaign tab I have changed the Scenario and

Hi,
I find very useful viewing skin and 3D models from the Units/Squadron window.But, unless I am doing something wrong, MC looks only at KoreaObj folder. Is it possible to point at KoreaObj_HiRes?

The HiRes are the same textures, but than in a higher res.
If you have a theater where the skins are not the same… well wrong use of the concept.Gr Falcas

Understood,
sometimes the HiRes folder has no corresponding files and for this I simply add my skin there instead of overwrite.I will substitute in the base folder then.
Thanks

@Falcas, @Oakdesign,
Since installation of 4.35U3 today, Mission Commander no longer displays 3D Models when the “View 3D Model” button is clicked in any Unit’s Detail Screen. It now defaults to the main Falcon BMS Editor screen, where you then have to select the vehicle in Falcon Editor, double-click it to get to the Vehicle Details Page, and then click on “View 3D”, then the Model Viewer window opens and displays the model properly.I tried changing values of where the model viewer shows up on the screen in the Falcon BMS Editor.cfg, (ModelViewer.Position.Height, ModelViewer.Position.Width, ModelViewer.Position.X, and ModelViewer.Position.Y) and the same behavior occurred.
I also tried deleting the Falcon BMS Editor.cfg (where Falcon BM<S Editor will then build a new default .cfg file when it is next started), and then restarting MC and tried to call up a model, and the same behavior occurred.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior or have any suggestions on how to get this very useful MC function working again? Thanks in advance,
Regards,

The Editor should not open, only the Model Viewer should open directly.
At least that is how it works here. -
@falcas said in Mission Commander beta release:

At least that is how it works here.@Falcas thanks for the reply. Before I installed 4.35 Update 3, what you said is what used to happen. Since installing Update 3 today, Model Viewer no longer opens directly; instead, Editor opens. I am letting you know in case something in U3 has caused this behavior in Mission Commander.

Hi Falcas, long time no hear, hope everything is ok as much as can be in these times.
So, I can confirm strange behavior of model viewer, opening falcon editor instead… probably changed switch in editor for U3… but that’s internal.
But more sophisticated problem found in brigade window, cannot change type , it always defaults to armored (brigade type) whatever you select as if defaults to first type on the list (pull down).
Maybe you could take a look as time allows.Thanks.
Cheers -
@tomcattwo
I have the same behavior as what you observed. I tried a fresh installation of BMS U3 but it did solve the problem. I can’ t tell you from which update version the issue raised up. -
Hi again.
Don’t know if v105-106 naming scheme options are in experimental phase, i guess so, but they don’t work - and that’s very probably as my file is v103 …
Anyway, I’ve tried those options to fix some my save2 nowhere names but yeah… nogo. Nothing happens as far i could see.Another story (hmmm, problem) is "automatic naming " of nowhere’s with name from parent objective, when import objective csv.
I’ve rather kept my exported csv “nowheres” as they are but!,- when importing the csv , most of NoWhere objectives , like bridges , get the parent name, - so alot nowhere bridges now have the name of the parent objective
!Most of… NOT all. … still trying to figure why there are few exceptions, they stay nowhere even after import.
So far it seems the parent level (parent- sub parent - … ) but still unsure.So, can be automatic naming from parent can be disabled? , or it is a bug///
Cheers

Now the Flight will automatically move there takeoff and landing STPT to the new AB.
