Mission Commander beta release

@Red:
Question gents,
Is there a way in MC to set a bridge to destroyed before a TE?
If I find the bridge in MC, opening the TE, can I destroy that bridge preventing ground forces to cross the river?Thanks
It could be done with TacEdit quite easy, but I’ve never worked out of it can be done with MC unfortunately.

Yes. Double-click bridge, view features, right-click the line, set destroyed, apply, save.

Yes. Double-click bridge, view features, right-click the line, set destroyed, apply, save.
Nice, thanks.
Someone should write a user manual for this program one day…
-
thanks, the right click the line was the stuff I was missing
Not so obvious after all
Thanks Lorikand agreed on the manual , most of us use this only to 25% capabilities because of the lack of manual…

Well… so I’d try to do ‘the talk’ straight, then.
Dear Falcas, to you who are well known and appreciated in this Community in years for your special kindness:
would you kindly evaluate to spare a little of your valuable time and start writing some lines about ‘how to’ learn and use your useful utilities both?
Even more than someone here, far better skilled than I sure am, could contribute as well about, as you can see.With best compliments for all and my best regards.

Anserwing the question myself,
After diging around with TerrainEditor and some try and error to closest (±1ft) is the use
Constant feet_per_kilometer = 3279.98
(X+0.5)*feet_per_kilometer, (Y+05)*feet_per_kilometer for center of tile and thean apply offsets from Feature Database to that pointHello Falcas,
I’m currently creating Static object xml files for Tacview to show things like Runways,ILS cones. In order to get the coordinates I use MC currently in a manual way, but would like to automate and have one missing link in order to achive this.
My current worklow is i take the x/y coordinates from 1 apply the OffsetX and OffseatY from the Feature and convert those the tacview coordinates with
double latitude = south + (y * (north - south) / (height * 819.995)); //N-S north/south boundaries of the BMS theater in DMS double longitude = west + (x * (east - west) / (width * 819.995)); //E-W east/west boundaries of the theater in DMS ```As shown in the 2nd image the calculation match for the use in the Tacview static object xml My missing link is how to calculate the red arrow to from the X/Y to the BMS X/Y like they are used in ini files and or shared memory any help would be appreciated [https://up.picr.de/38733425js.png](https://up.picr.de/38733425js.png)

How do I add new weapons to a squadron in a campaign?To many times have I found only JSOW-As in inventory, but no JSOW-Cs.
-
By using the Editor in the launcher. This is MP critical and not safe if you don’t know what you’re doing.
-
Ah ok. Everything’s got a downside…

Hey Jackal,
Kind words are noted
But writing a manual is really not something I am going to do. Which has been mentioned many times already.
Development of all the tools and BMS itself is taking a lot (yeah a lot) of time. So people wonder if I have a RL job… yes I do
Asking specific questions can be done here on the forum and if anybody wants to write something… its a free world
Lorik has already posted a first part. (sorry didn’t even have time to take a look at that).Most of the questions have been covered many times on the forum already. Usually in this thread.
But TBH… just start using the tool and don’t be afraid to click on something. Keep a backup of your files is also just a basic and a must!
The above mentioned clicking on the features to set them damaged/destroyed really wonders me. This is really the basics of using any tool.
All other parts of MC work exactly the same.Gr Falcas
-
Good evening, Falcas.
I see your point of view, and your kind advises are appreciated, so I will follow them.
Thanks for your (usual) great attention and reply.
With best regards.

Hello Everyone ! I’m looking for some help.
I am trying to get Mission Commander and WDP to work.
I always get the error about the LzssNative.dll (specified module could not be found).Here is what I have tried so far :
- Install .net 4.0 like specified in the initial post
- Install vcc like specified in the initial post
- Install the latest .net (4.8 )
- Start the software in admin mode
No matter what I do, I get that error, and I cannot load missions in either WDP or MC.
The system :
- i9 9980HK
- 2GB ram (it’s a VM)
- Windows 7 64bit
- Windows 7 SP1
Here are the details of the error :

If anybody has an idea, I’m listening
The error :
What is installed right now :
-
Nobody ?
I tried copying the concerned DLL from other sources with no success -
Hi Flow32
I had the same problem with WDP some time ago, but never with MC. I tried to copy the LzssNative.dll from MC to WDP and that worked for me. But since you have issues with both programs, that would not be the solution I guess.
Hope you find a fix to the problem

Yes I remembered the same from the installation on my sim computer, and it does work on that one perfectly.
But on my laptop, no luck with that technique
I’m really unsure on why though…
I’ll update here if I ever find the solution. If anybody has a clue, I would love to hear it -
I have tried everything
Multiple .net versions etc… to no avail
None of the MC / WDP / WC work on my computer.Edit : of course first try was with .net 4.0 as specified in the initial post.

Is there a way to change AI skills (Recruit/Ace) with MC or any other tools?

Hi guys, I’m trying to run mission commander in wine 5.0.x (development release) so I can do my TE design & editing on Linux. It used to work fine before, but with the latest release downloaded fresh off Falcas’ excellent website I keep getting these error popups when trying to run MC:
Any idea what could be causing this? Might it be an easy fix within MC or within WINE? I’m emulating win7 I think, BMS 4.34 runs fine (at least the 2d part, don’t get your hopes up :))
When trying to load a TE in EMF, I’m getting a different error (the one above is from stock KTO):

Serves you right!!! - when cross-breedin’ two opposite OS :smash: :mrgreen:
Sorry, cant help with the error , … seems some string format is not in expected (working) format ( float to integer) … Falcas could help you more … anyway, in windows it is working fine, so maybe linux/wine/visualbasic (but also, cough, psst, Falcas )
If still in then need , maybe workaround… you can try some real VM guest os , vmware, virtualbox ??? at least see if it is working there.
Cheers
