Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
-
Could use some help. I followed the install instructions and am seeing all the files in the places I think I should be seeing them. I then added the line in notepad as instructed and it’s in there. All seems fine, but I don’t have the theater in the list once I start the sim. I then reinstalled. Oddly, the line I added on the first install in notepad was still there in the theater.lst file.
Any ideas on what I can check or do to get the Balkans to show up in the theater list so I can select?

found the battalion’s name & location on the map but not sure how to drag steer point, I don’t see any
Double click battalion icon and move the white circle. As above, don’t forget to untick ‘set by HQ’ first.

Go to your X:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinitions\ folder
Open the theater.lst file in Notepad
Insert the following line at the end
Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Balkans.tdf
check if you copy and past in the main terrdata folder, not in the terrdata theater

Hi dema,
Just double checked and that’s exactly what I have. Here is what I have when I open that folder in notepad. This is strange. Looks like it should be good to go.

Add-On Israel\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Israel.tdf
Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Korea KTO.tdf
Add-On Korea TvT\Terrdata\theaterdefinition-v3.61\Korea_TvT_v3.61.tdf

Correct. The path for that folder is Falcon BMS 4.33/Data/Terrdata/theaterdefinition/theater.lst
Seems like everything that needs to be there is. However when I fire up the sim, there is no Balkans to choose from when I go to switch theaters.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall, added the string and everything it’s fine here, check if the right directory it’s this one
x:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Add-On Balkans
like all theaters you have

Interesting. When I look at that path it has a theaterdefinition folder at the end. However, its empty. I notice that the other Add-On theaters have files in the theaterdefinition folder. I’m hesitant to mess with that folder so I don’t completely pork something.
The instructions point me to a specific path:
To install:
• Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Balkans.tdf
• Run the Balkans_433.exe
• Set Path to X:\Falcon BMS 4.33 and extract
o X = drive your BMS install is on.
• Go to your X:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinitions\ folder
• Open the theater.lst file in Notepad
• Insert the following line at the endAlso, how are you uninstalling the Balkans? I don’t see an uninstall option.
Appreciate your help.

To uninstall just delete Add-On Balkans folder.
All theaters have a theaterdefinition folder with a tga and a tdf file.
The main theaterdefinition folder it’s in the main terrdata folder with the list of all theaters you have installed.Do you have the Balkans theaterdefinition folder empty?
If yes, delete Add On Balkans folder and reinstall the theater.Post report

This is strange. You are correct. I just deleted the Add-On Balkans folder. Before I did, I double checked, and the Balkans theaterdefinition folder was empty. Tried to reinstall, and now don’t see the Add-On Balkans folder at all.
When I went to reinstall, I got a notification stating “The destination has two files with the same name”. I was given three choices 1) Replace files in the destination 2) Skip these files 3) Let me decide for each file. I chose option 1.
It looked like it went through its process like it did originally, but I don’t have the Add-On Balkans folder at all. Something is weird. Hope there is an answer.

You are not going to believe it. I reinstalled one more time. It installed. The only thing I can think of is that there was a delay. I think my first attempt messed up. This time everything looked identical, except the theaterdefinition folder had the two files in it you were talking about. Problem fixed. Can’t thank you enough!!!

Cool !
Have fun, Baffler ! and enjoy Kukes airport

Is there an Add-On Balkans folder in your Data folder? Do you have an anti-virus that maybe corrupted the.exe file?

Double click battalion icon and move the white circle. As above, don’t forget to untick ‘set by HQ’ first.
double clicking doesn’t do anything really, and yes I did untick the “set by HQ” and the unticked box is saved. Which white circle do you mean the planes waypoint?

Make sure you’re viewing icons for battalions, not brigades or divisions. A white circle should appear on top of the icon.

yes it is, it is 471 AAA battalion and when I recon it I see it on the runway where it usually is in the game. Yet no white circle appear on it when double ticking. But you are right for other battalion the white circle did appear after double ticking, I wonder why it is not working with this particular one?
it appears that if the battalion is already on the map then the circle appears, but if I place it on the map by the find button then it doesn’t work -
Is this in Powderkeg at Gioia Del Colle?
-
If anyone is experiencing vehicles on the runway at Gioia Del Colle, after making sure the Balkans theater is the running theater, can you please open BMS Editor, go to objective data, find 34_16 Airbase 2 Rvr, double-click on it, Go to Point Data, click on AAAListType, zoom out enough that you can see the whole airbase, take a screenshot and send it to me?
I want to see where the AAA point data is for that Airbase that you have.
I only need a screenshot from those who are having the issue with vehicles on the runway.
Thanks

Is there a problem with the hosting of the file? I get absolutely horrendous dl speeds. Is it available from any other sources by chance?
Thanks in advance!
