Having trouble loading BfB in 4.33

[drtbkj]

I just downloaded BfB and BMS is not seeing the theater. The problem seems to be that my theaterdefinition file does not have a theater.lst file. In fact, a search of my pc only found it in the BfB Readme.
My theaterdefintion file has a Korea tdf file, a Korea tga Image, theater disk image file, Balkans.tdf, and Balkans TGA image.
My Add-On Balkans folder, btw, is in the Data folder listed with Add-on Strong DPRK, etc

AFAIK BfB is currently 4.32 specific so it should fail to work on 4.33

Sad but true the same.

Sad but true the same, BfB is still suited for 4.32.

And this is weird. You should have one instead, but you already know well this. Could you please tell which procedure have you followed to install BMS and BfB after?

Best regards,

And very soon BfB will be available for 4.33 with better and improved campaign

[Sarge55]

Sweet, looking forward to it Archer.

[Jackal]

This is really great news, Archer!

Just can’t await to fly again… at home :lol: And if you wish, I could test it gladly (just my two cents, of course, and not more).

Best regards,

Good news Archer. I have a mini comp to run in the 185th and I NEED that theatre. Bring it on my friend.

The last BFB installer isn’t 4.33 aware, so it will never install to a 4.33 instance unless you manually try to migrate (which won’t work either due to changes with 4.33).

If your stating the BFB installer applied files to your 4.33 instance then you are mistaken as it will only reference the install path via the 4.32 registry entry.

[Jackal]

Good to know this in advance anyway, i.e. until the 4.33 version is released.

Thanks a lot, Khronik. With best regards,

Thanks to all. Jackal, I downloaded 4.33 off the torrent from the link on this site.
I downloaded BfB from here-http://www.thunderbolts56thvfw.com/Downloads/433/Theaters/Balkans_433_community.zip
You’ll notice it does state it’s for 4.33

That doesn’t appear to be BFB your downloading…

True indeed, Khronik, agree of course.

drtbkj, that link seems to drive to the new version of Balkans, instead… please check it out.

I thought so ,too,Khronic, except it certainly seemed to,in fact it’s sitting extracted on my desktop as we speak.

I’m a bit confused with your reply…

The link " http://www.thunderbolts56thvfw.com/Downloads/433/Theaters/Balkans_433_community.zip " downloads Balkans 4.33, not Battle For Balkans (BFB) via Falcon Online.

Not to mention BFB will not install to 4.33 at the moment, but work is in progress.

I’m confused , too. It sounds like you are saying the Balkans 4…3 in the link is not the same as BFB. I am/was under the impression they were the same thing. I’m talking about the theater being offered in the sticky thread on top of this page. I will research that. Adding to the confusion is that there is now a Balkans Add-on folder in the same place as my old 4.32 setup. I’m not at home to doublecheck, but everything looked right except the aforementioned theater.lst issue. My question at the moment was if this imgburn “image” is the right folder/file in a form my pc can’t access. I want to bring the Balkan theater to my 4.33, BfB or not.
Update: I think I see the confusion. On FO I see no mention of it’s BfB for 4.33. This theater from the 56th almost sounds like they’re recreating the Balkans theater from F4AF??

[Badger]

You may be confusing yourself.

The theater being offered in the sticky thread on top of this page is clearly titled “Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33” not BfB.

AFAIK, it is currently the only flavor of Balkans that is compatible with 4.33.
When the Falcon Online version, usually titled “Battle for Balkans”, is ready that download link would be at their site.

If you search around you’d probably find several versions of a Balkans Theater with similar yet different names for different flavors of Falcon but, that will just add to the confusion.
So just follow the instructions in the sticky thread and you should end up with a workable Balkans for 4.33. Works just fine for me anyway.

Cheers,

Thanks, D. Thanks to you and Khronic I got that sorted out. The question remains if that theater “image” is the .lst file I need. If so, then I can try Notepad to open it, or download the imgburn software.
