Middle East Theater 128 for 4.37
-
good evening is there a map with airfeild locations only? and not of the any other unit clutter?
Mideast128map.png is great but with airfields, a bit like the KTO map? thanks Heacase. -
@headcase
You can open any Mideast128 TE or Campaign using Mission Commander. The very first tab you see is a Map tab, and to the right of the map are check boxes you can use to display any objective in the theater. I believe it defaults to showing all airbases (including airstrips) so you can see them all on the map without any other clutter.

I just came back to BMS after a few years DCS. I downloaded Falcon 4.0 from steam and upgraded to BMS 4.37.2 Works great! Wanted to add Middle East Theater 128 for 4.37 U2 but after putting Addon into Data folder and updating the text file per the instructions (last line Addon…), when I try to launch MET 128, I get the following message: “Tileset 'POLAK” is not available, file not found. C:\Falcon BMS 4.37\Terrdata\Mideast\texture\texture_POLAK.bin. Also, the fallback tileset (unnamed) is not available. BMS cannot continue. Exiting…
Am I missing something to make this work?

Hi, is this theater planned to be updated for U3 ?
Cheers,

Of course, but later, after updating the model format.

@SpbGoro Here is a link to the updated models folder…these are the models from Update 2. You will still need to get the updated models in the update 3 from KTO if you choose to use them.

Thank you!.
It seems to have worked after reducing the number of parents to 4500. -
@SpbGoro Could you provide the steps you took to make the new models work.
Thank you in advance for your help! -
@fred321 I have a special editor that I am using to make them work. I don’t want to give it out since it is an internal developer version but if you tell me what you want converged I will try to do it.

Thank you in advance for your help!Puma 56, using his tools, converted the database with 3D models of the Middle Eastern theater (containing 8567 parents, many of them just empty stubs) from LOD to BML and shared here.
Next, I installed this folder with BML models in my version of the theater with the previously made updates from U3.
At first it didn’t work, when I tried to launch the BMS editor, it opened and immediately closed. The reason for this was not clear.Then I deleted the models folder, and in its place I copied the folder with BML models from the original KTO U3 (containing 3839 parents). The editor started to launch without problems.
Next, I again replaced the database with 3D models of the Middle Eastern theater (containing 8567 parents) and began deleting approximately 1000 parents, checking whether the editor was working or closing.
Approximately when the number of parents was about 4700, the editor began to open approximately every other time. With the number of parents being 4520, the editor was already opening reliably. This allowed us to edit the database with reference to new parent numbers, as well as restore some models that were probably lost during conversion.
I also noticed that on some converted models (example Mirage-2000c or A-4 from my previous version of the Middle Eastern theater) the decals disappeared. But copying the parents of these models of these aircraft from the original KTO solved the problem.
Now the theater is working without problems, I am testing updated triggers with the shift initiative value removed. And I’m trying to figure out other little things.
This is roughly what my “strange path” turned out to be

@SpbGoro
WELCOME!!!To the club
btw… So , magic number is ~4500 ? (reliable-ish) … hmmm, multiplayer??? hmmm
I know how to reduce number of parents effectively.
Remove standalone taxiway/runway signs and make them same parent with different decals (skin). - you get 100-200 parents.
Similar what has been done with plane tail numbers and ship numbers in units.
Of course … needs to be done by coders -

Well, in my case, it worked quite reliably.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how it will be at other theaters. -
An update has been released. “Middle East Theater 128 for 4.37 for Update 3.”
Download links in the first forum post.P.S.
To remove snow, it is recommended to set the weather settings to the season “summer”

@AlejandroFAV-0 3.1 did not have any data associated with it. Just the alternate launcher and the editor
