Custom modded folder for Aegean Theater
-
Hello Manos1981
i tried only the folder Campain (some Mo) during last night it’s ok until after 9:00 am .
now on my other hard drive with win7 i’ll install the same folder and test soon.
The reason i only install campain folder is i installed in my all theaters the graphic improvement of Tom Catz
(initially for Korea,unfortunately one problem detected : i didn’t see the taxi at souda,but no bms crash or bug!)thanks for your work
Its not my work… the modded folder (Theater) is from Cobra. In the rar file that i posted its only the Save0.cam and Save.tri (Cloud 9 gave me the tri file) for the campaign. Its WIP i still working on it. Most thanks has to go to these guys (Cobra and Cloud) i just changed the OOB in the campaign to be more realistic as for Squadrons and airbases etc… Therefore the tri file is a good start to work on it and still i working on i will add some Naval units also and some more commands in the tri file, also some work on the ground units needed also cause they go very fast on defensive and leaving the borders. It still needs work! But thanks for your kind words!

I had a try on these campaign files with no luck…
Its a pitty that a such nice scenery lacks a proper campaign. In fact, IT 0.91 remains the only real proper scenery until now… -
No luck? What do you mean? what problems do u have?

Hi,Manos1981
After a new test here is my problems :
1. It seems none of 28 training missions work
2. After a campain mission saved and exit of program, BMS stop working properly (Windows message)
i must close manualy; but no problem during missions (except sam in my backside! :))
3.At Limnos none missions run: after the count down before take off, i see the photo of the f16
(probably at Florennes,take a look at the flag,i think i recognize the wood behind,but perhaps i’m wrong)
30 secondes waiting and it’s the debriefing appears with “mission still in progress”Finaly the frequencies are not the same of the docs navaids of Nikos but i read that i must overwrite with the
proper fieds from hotfix 1.2 (Frequencies+ils stations.dat) but question : in whitch folder? To make quickly
without too searchunfortunately the Aegean 2014 by Tom Catz crash the program on my computer like the excellent work of Nove
for Balkans idems with Balkans v3.0 sky became dark and after some minutes crash. very curiousReally i hope that this theater will interest again the brains of developpement

Well to tell you the truth i working on it with the stock Aegean (Just the hotfix installed) And i dont have any of theese problems. Did you changed as Cobra says the sliders? and turn off the “set by HQ” ? its in the 3d or 4th post of this thread. The CTD when exiting is a known problem… Anyway try (Wil also you if you want) to run it with the instructions provided by Cobra and repost the results. Even though it is strange cause i’m running it very smoothly and imagine i’m now in Day 6. As for the training missions that is a question to Cobra i’m afraid i cannot help you much. As for the ILS and Frequencies if i remember correct you have to copy them in the Campaign folder.

Ok!!!
Thanks! -
Wil also try what i say in #70 to RedTiger and post the results…
Hi Manos1981
You gived me an explanation for the known issue at program exit.
For the frequencies I made what Nikos prescripted and it’s ok now!
As Cobra00 said “Turn Set by HQ on”,I turned on,but at Limnos I’ve no missions start and a similar
problem at Nea Anchialos.I’m sure that it’s not the Objects folder from Tom Catz since I’ve no problems
like those at others base or others theaters (So I’m pratically sure …) I’m going to test in my second
installation of BMS where the Objects folders are originals (why this ? To have two differents cockpits
and canopy reflexions and differents objects in general).I report the result tomorrow -

I didnt do the whole “dance” that cobra says. Only in the first screen… Will test anyway and post soon

As you can see its ok! Therefore i would say again i havent installed th whole folder yet (modded) its the original Aegean (with 1.2 Hotfix) the only modification it haves is the JanHas 3d models! (Jan they rock!!! Bravo for your work) By the way i have 2 different installations of Aegean and 3 of Balkans! lol all for modifications i like to do and experiment with the objects and always in my external drive a Backup of the original data folder before the mods also if you see in my attachments the HQ option is on… and still produces missions

Ok Manos1981,I’ve the sames screens than yours! But when i start effectively a mission from Limnos
i don’t drop into the cockpit and after +/- 30sec appear the debriefing sceen where all pilots are “Average”
and “Non ordonance” and up of the screen we can read: “Mission still in progress”
I tried 5 or 6 missions from Limnos with the same issue.Note: in my last post i said that the same thing occured at Nea Anchialos but i’m wrong (My memory is not so good
as the computer one!) it was the wrong radio frequency but corrected now.Finally, except the problem at Limnos, all run fine! You know i experienced the same thing before with another
theater (i don’t remember whitch one) but very very rarely. I though that perhaps it’s due to the motor of campain
when it manage the general planing of all missions at a time gived but i know nothing in the programmation of
campain .By the way I’ll take a look at Janhas 3D Models to see what it is.
Now too much words enough it’s time to fly! -
Finally i found the solution:
the 2 fields you given before Manos1981 when you said “nobody test it ?” are the origin of my problems!
I’ve introduced them into Campain\Aegean. (Replace of course)
Now i reinstalled only the folder Campain from Aegean Wars and into Campain\Aegean the field given by
Cloud9 : Save0.Tri. Always with the folder Objects from graphic improvement in Terrdata of Tom Catz
(though he made it for Korea!) and now all run fine even at Limnos. What I don’t understand is why Cloud9 said “It’s not perfect but it’s stop the CTD” -

What I don’t understand is why Cloud9 said “It’s not perfect but it’s stop the CTD”I don’t get it eather… I think that in the file i provided, the 2 files inside the rar is the .tri file from cloud… Strange… I will double check it and see what i can do… You have the save0.cam from my file right? As i said i just changed OOB the .tri file is the Cloud’s. In another person that i gave the files he told me that all runs smooth… Anyway still working on it and will post if i have a final campaign file. In my machine though from day one and after the file Provided by cloud its ok. Try now (back up the original files from the folder offcourse) ,If i didnt get it wrong, to put just my Save0.Cam in the campaign folder and please post the results! Thanks for your time and efforts on trying! I appreciate it very much

And i might be wrong…. Probably the files in my Campaign folder is from “aegean Wars”… So the whole save of the campaign is worked in “Aegean Wars”… might be my mistake on mention the opposite…
And…
<–-This is JanHas 3d Models -
The Save0.tri file MUST be used with the Save0.cam file that is from Aegean Wars.

@Cloud:
The Save0.tri file MUST be used with the Save0.cam file that is from Aegean Wars.

I know i edited the OOB in the Original Save0.cam nothing more nothing less….

Hello
To proceed by order:
It’s the Campain folder from Aegean Wars that I replaced (to be sure having the original one before further change)
After I only replaced the save0.tri by the Cloud9 one (given in page 5) but it’s true now I lost the Creta bases
(Souda,Iraklion,Kasteli,…not plaisant it’s very beautiful ! I visited when i went to NAMFI in 1984)
So, now I’m going to test in this situation YOUR save0.cam .If something goes wrong (crash during Aegean theater
utilisation OR AFTER a theater change and back in Aegean theater) perhaps your save0.cam must be improve.
In all case I also appreciate the work of others people because I know nothing about developpement
and the free time has a cost for everybody.
By the way wonderful the Janhas 3D models!! Where I can download that Wonder,please ? -
Well,well,well,
First I verify that if I try to jump into a mission in air base with status 0, I never arrive in cockpit but in the
screen of debriefing with “mission still in progress” and mention “average” for all pilots in mission !!
It so obvious… Probably an inattention from my part for this matter. Yes after +/- 10:00am day 1 Limnos is distroyed
for some hoursNow the result of my new test:
I fly a mission,then make 3 save of campain with 1 minute interval,exit campain,delete the first save,and when I try to delete the second ,“bardaf” BMS crash! Conclusion: PROBLEM WITH save0.cam it’s an evidence!
So,I replace the original save0.cam, open BMS in Aegean theater, click on a previous save (result of your save0.cam)
I see the map with the air bases in Creta,try to open and of course BMS crash. I delete all previous save
with your field ,initiate a new campain, and no problem yet. Second evidenceI hope this will help you Manos1981

So it works? i didn’t understeand quite good the last message of yours. Anyway it still needs work to be done… But i don’t have a lot of time free now… but will do… And as for JanHas : http://www.janhas.net/index.html <–- click here and then in “BMS” you will need editing though of the objects database with Lodeditor (i know its not the easiest way) and for that PArt you can ask Arty to give you a link with a tutorial…
Cheers!
Ps. Yes indeed until 10 Limnos is bombardied so no flights programmed in the first day and if you not interecept anemy boogies everytime the HQ say it is very easy to happen for example in N.Ancialos
