"Grey Zones" Campaign for Ikaros Theatre
-
Hello
I am happy to share with you this Open Campaign for the Ikaros Theatre. This Campaign is built with different Units and Forces are Balanced.
There is 3 Teams :- Blue
- Yellow
- Green
Starting Time : DAY 1 02:00 Night Time
The Situation is as follows : The Tensions between Blue & Yellow Forces is rising rapidly, while both sides are trying to Capture & Defend Key Locations. The Naval and Air Units are mobilising their assets to try to support Land Forces and Defend against Threats.
Here is a general Picture(download it from the link since its in high-res) about the Status of the Scenario with an estimate intel about significant EWR/GCI, C3 and IADS for both sides. Reminder : Those Circles are an Estimate and are not representing the entire Integrated Air Defense System, there is more Point Air Defense Systems and Area Air Defense Systems Active as well ! Red Triangles are representing Airbases with F-16s of Different Types, Tasks & Squadrons , and also M2k/M2k-5 on Blue Side. I tried to match Real Units Numbers, Names and Types as much as possible so sorry if something isnt right, and also some Airbases which are not in the Map were replaced by the closest AB available to them .
The Situation is not 100% known intentionaly to make Pilots try to do Reconnaissance Sorties, The Variety of Threats and Missions is also a part of this Scenario.
Finally Thanks for the Devs for this wonderful Theater !Link for Picture :

Copy Grey Zones Files into your Addon Ikaros/Campaign/Save Folder , in case of a Problem try to Back up your default save2 files and copy save2.cam and save2.tri to the Campaign Folder in BMS. When in BMS Launch the Campaign from “Saved” not from “New”.
PS : Make Sure that You have Exercise Poseidon Database Selected in the Ikaros Settings .Enjoy ! and Feel Free to Edit the Campaign for your own Entertainement .

Downloaded. It takes some time to frag missions. Another thing is that in Araxos wingman when TO stays in the holding point. Thats probably a theater issue other than that seems ok! If i add some of my phantoms will be even greater as it has USAF phantoms as well good work!

Yes on DAY 2 the HQ doesnt Frag Missions Automaticaly , but it should do it on DAY 3 and so on , but i do recommend to Frag the Packages manually it adds to the experience and the quality of the packages assigned objectives, and feel free to tweak it and improve it.
Enjoy !

Allready did some tweaks on the Campaign as well testing it now

Nice ! would be cool if more users who have more experience in campaign dev do something good with it because this theatre is very well done specialy the textures, locations and scenarios which can be simulated in it.

I noticed (still day 1 around 06:00) while getting a SEAD mission i came across 2 pairs of TuAF f-16’s one with A/A probably mission and one with A/G, they did nothing even when i did soft lock on them they just pass by. Strange behaviour…. If any of Ikaros devs can see this, is it allready a known issue and i didnt see the thread?

Can you be more specific? In country relations (through Mission Commander) Greece vs Turkey are at war

I don’t fiddle with theater/campaigns that are built shabby! If you don’t know how to build them correctly you really shouldn’t be releasing them to the public.
I’m just letting you know that the symptoms described are related to team/country relationship/ownership. Other than that, I really don’t care.

Well iam not a dev or some one who has experience in building Campaigns for BMS , but i did post this to share what i did with people who would like to improve it and make it better , anyways thanks for your feedback, and hopefully someone with much more skills with this can take it and do somethign good with it, as i said its open for anyone who wants to tweak it and do whateever they want with it, since its just a campaign file so Mission Commander, TacEdit etc… are available to simply open the file and edit it. for anyone else who might not be happy because its not good enough interms of Task Orders etc… you can simply leave it, its up for someone else to improve it if he wants, Thanks !

Well said, It needs a good .tri file for a start and also what C9 said Reletions are a bit confusing. Why there’s more than 1 Greece team?? i dont know much either but im tweaking stuff here and there will see how it goes but unfortunatelly without a tri file its a bit fustrating whatever someone will do
-
I agree. It’s good to see our members having a go at this campaign stuff and it should be encouraged. Well done Aerouadie7 for giving it a go, in my humble opinion
We need to encourage this sort of stuff and help these guys.

Try this Guys
Take a backup of the original save(x).cam and save(x).tri files.
Amend the save(x).cam and save(x).tri to suit your needs.
Start the amended campaign (save(x).cam) and take a Save-Day snapshot in the usual way.
Exit BMS and copy/rename the save(x).cam and save(x).tri files to the next available slot number, save3.cam and save3.tri in this example.
Restore the original save(x) files.
Open the Save-Day x xx xx.cam file you created and use Mission Commander to change the save(x) reference in the campaign tab Scenario box to read save3.
You now have an independent campaign which can be shared by the community. You just need to send them the new save3.cam, save3.tri and the Save-Day x xx xx files. Obviously the Save-Day x xx xx.cam file won’t appear on the main campaign screen as there are only 3 slots available (0-2) but you can access it from the saved campaign option.
This worked in Israel and Ikaros so I’m sure it’ll work elsewhere.
Cheers
Job done

There is already an independent campaign file. The original Save2.cam is not being used, only a different .tri file. The Grey Zone is it’s own campaign file already.
Have absolutely no idea why anyone is saying back up the original file, which in this case was the Save2.cam, that was used to create the Grey Zone.cam!! The game doesn’t even access it!!
It still won’t alleviate the issues with the Grey Zone.cam as their are 5 Greece teams and one Turkey team and the file is porked from the get go in the Theater/Scenario/Saved Name entries on the Campaign page!!

Not true mate.
If you use one of the original campaign slots (let’s say Poseidon at save1.cam and save1.tri, I think) then you can apply the above procedure to amend it.
I agree that Aerouadie7 didn’t get it right first time but at least he’s trying. If he uses my approach he’ll get a workable campaign (if he brushes up his .tri file skills a little). My method works, we did it to create the Kritiki Elpida campaign and it works. We’ve been flying it for weeks now and get a logbook win/lose/stalemate result every time.

I’m just asking the guys to try it C9. If they do they’ll get a workable campaign and won’t mess up their Ikaros campaign files. Try it out for yourself and you’ll se that it works.
-
Mate, I was just saying that the guys could create a campaign by doing some tweaks to some existing files, which they can. You come across in a lot of threads as pretty poisonous tbh and I’m getting the same impression.

Sorry for the late reply!
Well, first off, you’re mind changes as quickly as the winds does, Eh!!
Second off, when the conversation begin this evening I had to leave suddenly, not of my doing so I couldn’t respond in a timely matter.
I digress!! I read part of the post incorrectly about renaming the file, which led to me making a mistake in my response originally.
At least I have the cojones to admit I made a mistake, which is not the case for most here on the fora.
Regardless of that situation, there is still the issue of the campaign file not having the correct information on the Campaign page/tab that I pointed out in post #10, and the issue of the teams, which as I stated above having 5 Greece team entries.
That will cause the problems that Manos pointed out in post #6.
Originally I was not refuting anything you stated about redoing the file in MC to get it to work in your post #14, I was merely pointing out those issues again that I stated above.
In the end though, that gives you no reason to send me a PM, which frankly, if I reported it, is against the forum rules and would get anyone here banned for your language!! But I have thicker skin than that!!
