OK - tried your method and it worked…sort of. I was able to get a simple 4.35 TE into 4.36, countries were messed up, 3 flights before my flight in the original version were completely missing, my flight had no home airport, the # of aircraft and the flight plan was not the one for my flight, but the ones for the first flight in the original 4.35 TE, so my flight showed 4 aircraft, with the wrong flightplan. Weather did not translate. Most airbase objective names were “Nowhere airport”, but this somehow fixed itself after opening 4.36 te_new.tac then re-opening my TE. I fixed a lot of the incorrect stuff in the TE using MC, (assigned my squadron to the correct airbase, changed countries, etc. in MC and redid the flightplan in 4.36, and did eventually get it to fly in 4.36.For the number of TEs I need to convert from 4.35 to 4.36, and if I have to do this amount of work to get that conversion done, that’s a bridge too far. Probably be easier just to recreate them all in 4.36 from scratch (using the info from the original 4.35 TEs for flight plans etc.
Or, just wait until conversion works properly from MC.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
TC2Would you share your 35 TE with me? I’d be curious to have a look.

EDIT: Ah Falcas by the way, this explanation of my experience might be of any help? or at least I hope so. Not sure where you are about it but interest appreciated as always =).
Well it pointed out that almost everything you are doing is simply wrong. Its really OMG bad to call this a tutorial or work around.
If people are going to use features like this, I think its better I remove it completely.

@Falcas I’ll do something to point the flock in the right direction

Then you certainly have a better way to do the same things. Some people will be really glad to be passed this knowledge on.
@jayb and @Tomcattwo In my Youtube “About” page, there’s a link to a Discord channel for campaigns and theaters. We can talk there without offending anyone’s mind or heart if you prefer. Anyone welcome.

It’s obviously very easy to put myself in the shoes of the user who is grumbling when he hasn’t done anything to move the thing forward, but the reason for all these attempts is that, at least for some of us, the current “convert mission” tab doesn’t work.
And this, even for a mission (TE) with 2 planes (same flight) and 1 sam, respecting to the letter the instructions of the tab.

This is the TE I have been trying to convert: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A3F_ba7gekM3r53eYA2CWYOX1zZyXb13/view?usp=sharing
Three airborne tankers, an AWACS, two flights, Korea KTO. (Extended from a mission originally created by hoover)

Nice, I hope it helps some who have the problems we describe (not changing anything for me, but just my experience).
@jayb Will be busy. Looking when I can.

Thanks for the update.
But, as for Lorik, no change in the success of the “convert mission” tab. -
@Falcas Same here. No improvement. Same software exception.
So excited to see the tutorial of what we are missing.
Just a thought. Are we supposed to do anything before going to the Convert tab? Because I don’t. -
Did you guys check the theater.lst file and checked if KTO is at the top of the list? And not TvT?
-
@Falcas my theater.lst file keeps changing every time I run BMS, it moves the TVT to the first in the list even though I am flying KTO, that is even after I move KTO to the top and make the file read only.
-
@zeek That is strange, but it does give you the answer why you see this happening

Checked
-
@zeek Alternate Launcher reorders the theatres list, are you using it?

Checked too.

@white_fang I got something figured out that tried to work. My theater list file keeps going haywire from the looks of it.
-
@Falcas I have checked both the 4.35 and 4.36 installations …TerrData\TheaterDefinition\theater.lst
Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Korea KTO.tdf is at the top of the file in both 4.35 and 4.36
I do NOT use Alternative Launcher - I use the original Falcon BMS- provided launcher for both 4.35 and 4.36.

Dear @Falcas : I haven’t tested it yet, but have great hopes that it solves my and others TE conversion problems.
One minor issue though: your title for MC on that site still shows “(25 Jan 2022)”. One then must look closely at the revision number to be sure one is downloading the desired new revision. If you could update that to “(1 May 2022)” it would fix some confusion…
