EZBoards - Generate kneeboards (flights, comms, stpts, weather) from briefings
-
@jc1 bout that , since your AntiVirus is acting… ou may want to add Ezboards folder to the exclusion zone in whatever antivirus you’re using or else it will happen again.
My Kaspersky says xbrief.dll is totally legit , so no problem with infection or something.
Only problem was windows firewall and “onehttpd-0.8” - even I put it on allow-incoming list … strange?.. but I killed “the bastard - win fw” and now I can access files in whole folder , not just briefing.html … that way I can open whole directory in browser on tablet and quick check any document in that folder … ils - list , pdf , …any document for quick reference , neat ha ?
I even disabled EzEwatch and created symilink to the BMS/user/config/Briefings folder inside Ezboards folder , so now I can save a html briefing and is still accessible in tablet browser…
Just need to target port only , not the file “:8080/briefing.htmtl”
Cheers

Trying to use this I get a “System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key “Package Elements:” x = Primary Flight, was not present in this dictionary”.
Any ideas ?

@MnMailman Hi. Are you using the latest version (v9) ?
I think there was a bug around this with 4.36 but it should be fixed.
If not, please send me the briefing.txt file. -
@Logic Hi Logic. Yes, just downloaded it from the original post link. I did edit the involved flight with Mission Commander.
Let me try another flight and see if that matters. -
@MnMailman reading the thread just before your posts, it looks like it might be anti-virus kicking in, take a look, there are a couple of solutions mentioned.

Ok thanks. I thought I successfully bypassed any such but I’ll double check.

Anti-virus doesn’t appear to be the problem; I have both xbrief files in the EZ Boards install location.
However, doing some testing. EZ Boards works with BMS 4.36 for me, but not 4.35, i.e., if that helps. -
@MnMailman Yes, that’s it! You must use >=v8 for 4.36 and <v8 for 4.35.
I’m sorry but this is because they changed some whitespace on that line and I’m only doing a strict lazy comparison. -

@Logic Thanks ! Above and beyond help.

I was going to post that I did a comparison with MnMailman’s post and my latest Briefing.txt to say that I could see an extra space in MnMailman’s (before the

)Gamble1 2227 ( x ) DEAD 4 F-16CM-50 Destroy enemy air defense assets
vs
Gamble1 2227 (x ) DEAD 4 F-16CM-50 Destroy enemy air defense assets
but then thought, “Nah, can’t be that”

Updated to 4.36 and got the 4.36 version of balkans and was having an issue with getting EZBoards to give me my briefing on my kneepad. Every time I ran the .bat I saw it going into the Korea terrdata Koreaobj folder.
Took a look at the .Bat file between what I used in 4.35 and 4.36 and saw a difference:
4.36 v9 version:
IF “%THEATER%”==“Korea KTO” (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
) ELSE (
IF EXIST %BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On %THEATER%\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj\ (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On %THEATER%\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
ELSE (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
)
)
4.35 v7 Version:
IF “%THEATER%”==“Korea KTO” (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
) ELSE (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On %THEATER%\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
)Reverting that line to the V7 fixed the issue for me…but I only fly the Balkan and Korea Campaign so I’m not sure how it’s work for the others.

Thanks

Good morning.
Thx for this amazing tool.
I have an error running EZBoards 4.36 version with Baltic theater
Can you help me?
Thank you
-
@Skorp Baltic works for me.
There is something fishy on the line where it says “ELSE” no se reconoce …
Did you modify the batch file?
Maybe download latest version again? -
@Logic downloaded two times, but tomorrow I’m going to try again with a fresh installation then.
Thx
-
@Skorp Does it work with Korea KTO?
-
@Logic i’ ve had three tests…with the 9 versión.
Korea ok
Balkans, I see else error message too, but the programa copy the dds file in Korea fólder.
Báltico, the same error I’ ve told here above. -
@Skorp Hey, here:

I put another version of the BAT file for test.
Please download, rename so that you cut off the extension after .BAT and then replace the one in your Ezboards folder.
See if it helps, check in all the theaters.
