@luke777

I don’t see any relation between STP delta and Objectives.

Could it be that magnetic declination is in effect or not between versions, that could give minor deviations even for identical maps. It is an option set in the .tdf

My apologies if you’ve addressed these already:

1. I just updated to Mission Commander 0.5.21 (and a fresh re-install of BMS 4.36 and U1) and got the following when first loading a mission.

2. I get this every time I Open a squadron:

3. Feature request:

a) Maybe I’m not seeing it’s already in MC, but is it possible to implement a bulk squadron move to a specific airbase, in addition to closest base?

@Crassus

About 1 and 2, as these could occur due to the same reason.
Check if MC is pointing to the correct database for the correct theater.
Yes normally MC loads the theater database in case you load a mission from a different theater. You get a question about this. Answering for the wrong theater will load the incorrect database and obviously these things might occur.

About 3
You have the option to move a Squadron to any airbase you like.
For this, open the Squadron and you will find a button for it.
However, only one at the time.

@Falcas

For 1 and 2, I’m loading a mission in the default KTO.

Are these the correctly-loaded parameters(?):

For # 3, I am making a feature request.

I am sure I read in some thread that it is not wise to install BMS falcon 4.36 in the same folder of Microprose Falcon 4.0.
This is probably the reason for these problems.

[Crassus]

@UglyGrendel
I don’t have 4.36 in the vanilla Falcon 4.0 directory, though both are in a Games folder. That wouldn’t be an issue, would it?

[Falcas]

@Crassus

No normally this is not a problem.
However if this directory is in a place which Windows protects a lot like “Progam Files” this might cause some read/write issues. Its a windows thing

For MC and WDP just make sure NOT to have those in your BMS install. Just any other location will be fine.

Both mentioned above are very unlikely the cause of your issue btw

Added a couple of FAQs to the first post of this thread.
So if anybody ask… just point them to these

FAQs

Getting a error " Unable to load DLL ‘LzssNative.dll’"
This DLL file should be in the same directory as MC. For some this files has a hard time to load. Reinstalling BMS , Windows or buying a new PC will NOT help. Just grab the file from WDP or any other previous version that did work for you.

Is MC Compatible with 4.36U2, U3 or whatever.
Yes, MC is always compatible with these versions as its being build for the latest code in the Dev team.

@Falcas Hi, just a quickie
Is there an explanation , why most of the times MC’s LZSS dll(s) works oob , and somewhere eg, requires copying from wdp … ? why ?

I mean, if antivir… , for me is working from day0 , even without touching anything , eg. white-listing exe , exception dir … , and I really mean from day0, from winXP till today win10 … (I won’t go win11 never) .

Just strange …

Cheers and Thanks for all the fish

[Falcas]

@white_fang

No don’t have any explanation. The DLLs are exactly the same. For some its the other way around.
