@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:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vDPOI7jy5VqqLGV5DsB0nV2hp0bC7svo/view?usp=sharing
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. -
@Logic Good morning.
With the new bat there is no ESLE error, but only in Korea the dds is copied; in Balcans and Baltic the file is copied in Korea too.
I´ve edited the bat file and rem/set the lines you put:
REM /// Path to theater dds files. This might not work for every theater.
REM /// When in doubt, ask the theater author or the community.
REM THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
REM /// Might try this alternative for theaters that come with their own dds files:
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On %THEATER%\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObjBalcans is Ok, but in Baltic I have the error :
TARGET=“S:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\Add-On Baltic\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj\7982.dds”
Target file doesn’t exist. Check theater. -
Well, I´ve made two BAT´s, one for Korea and the other for Balkans and Israel.
Any way to make other fo Baltic and Georgia? There is no KoreaObj directory for these theaters.
Regards

Some test with these curious results:
Case 1.- Start Korea KTO, print brief with the bat you´ve uploaded without edit. Perfect
Start Balkans, print brief with the bat you´ve uploaded (with other theaters edit). Brief bad printed in Korea folder
Start Baltic (or Georgia), print brief with Korea bat or Balkans modified bat (the same result), and I have this errorCase 2.- Start Balkans, print brief with Balkans bat and the result is perfect.
Start Baltic (or Georgia), print brief with Balkans or Korea bat ( same result), and I have this error -
@Skorp For theaters that don’t come with a KoreaObj folder, I would assume that it has to be put in the original Korea KoreaObj folder. But just guessing. You’ll have to sort it out with the theater developers I fear.
-
@Logic Ok, Logic.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello, I’ve tried installing this and evertime I attempt to receive the data to the kneeboards I get an error that says “the system cannot find the path specified” ###error###, brieingtxt seems to be correct, and the .ini seems to be correctly positioned and the target seems to be right. Any idea what the issue could be? I have the config set to correctly. Thanks.

@anthonc9647 Sorry, Sir, I snipped a picture of the message :
-
@anthonc9647 Hi. Is the briefing.txt file at the exact path as written?
-
@Logic Yes, sir.

@anthonc9647 said in EZBoards - Instant single-click briefing to kneeboards conversion:
@Logic Yes, sir.
you have
Falcon BMS 4.36
insideFalcon BMS 4.36
insidefalcon
?!please tell me
falcon
isn’t theFalcon 4.0
install - if so it will lead to much anguish, and why the two nested BMS folders? -
For selecting the correct object folder to save to, I think this works
REM /// Path to theater dds files. This might not work for every theater. REM /// When in doubt, ask the theater author or the community. REM /// SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj REM /// Might try this alternative for theaters that come with their own dds files: REM SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On %THEATER%\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj IF EXIST "%BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On %THEATER%\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj\%TARGETFILE%" ( SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On %THEATER%\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj ) ELSE ( SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj )
I’ve included the REM block to show I have REMed one line.
-
@CriticalMass So, I have a falcon folder which holds 4.36, inside 4.36 holds all folder concerning 4.36 and then the subfolder which actually holds the game. Falcon/Falcon 4.36 has the setup file and falcon 4.36 main folder (the game). This is so I can keep my setup folder and game folder together.
-
@CriticalMass So no, original Falcon 4.0 is not in the 4.36 folder.

As you can see from my previous post, I changed the script for EZBOARDS to make certain theatres work,
-
@CriticalMass yep, i followed your script.
I edited my file like yours.
Except i edited the target line too. Fiqured if i messed up,just delete it and open a fresh download of the script.
Im sure i shouldnt have to do this but until logic fixes the problem,it works for me.
Let me check something today.
Im hesitant to tell others this works when im sure its not right .
Im assuming every theater would have to be edited in the script that you want to play.
Hopefully logic will chime in with the correct procedure. -
@CriticalMass ok,all i did was edit the target line.
Im not saying its right but it works for me. -
@oldtommyboy This will only work for the Panama theatre though, you’ll need to change the Target path every time you change the theatre, but if it works…
Also, I believe the IF block is redundant in this case.
tl;dr
Some theatres have their ownTerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
folders, this is where the Kneeboards DDS files will be stored. I’m testing to see if this is true then if so I’m making sure the DDS are created there, if not they are created in the standard (KTO) folder.
