Korean Campaign stops after Day 5

[riptide100]

After flying Day 5 of the Korean Campaign(s), the game stops letting me load a mission or fly at all (stops at exactly midnight end of Day 5).

Is there a way to change this so the campaign will last longer?

Check your logbook to be sure, but I think you just won the campaign. Sometimes, if you don’t have the correct codecs, the victory movie will not play to announce the completion of you campaign. To be sure, post a screenshot of your 2D when the campaign topped.

It has stopped at exactly the end of Day 5 on a number of campaigns so probably not winning, but I’ll get a screenshot next time - thanks for the info.

Also, please tell us which campaign it was (Ie Tiger Sprit, Iron Fortress, Rolling Fire) and which version of the Korean Theatre you are using like: KTO, Old Aircraft Korea 2012, Korea 1980s, or original Microprose Korea.

I had the same thing happen, I was running KTO Iron Fortress. Here is the thing - I was not around to see if the victory movie played or not, and the Non-Player admin that was sitting in 2D on the server earned the Korean Campaign Medal, so I’m assuming victory conditions were met, but it still ended at exactly day 5.

#IF_CAMPAIGN_DAY G 5
#PLAY_MOVIE 115
#DO_EVENT 16
#END_GAME 16
#ENDIF

The campaign is set to end at day 5 per the trigger file.

How can I fix this?

@Seabass:

How can I fix this?

If your playing in regular Korea, Iron Fortress, go into your X:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Campaign\SAVE folder. Open the save1.tri file with notepad, scroll down to Event 16 and change the line:

#IF_CAMPAIGN_DAY G 5

Change to however many days you want the campaign to last. If you want it to last 15 days, change it to:

#IF_CAMPAIGN_DAY G 15

You’re just changing the last number, which is the campaign day. The do a file Save.

I must say, having Iron Fortress time out in 5 days is a little restrictive, as Blue needs to capture Seoul to win, that would be quite the feat in 5 days.

Lets say I set the limit to 15, but I win in 10 days for example will it end?

If you capture the objectives that need to be captured before the Timeout limit, yes, it will end.

As you have beat the Timeout trigger of 15 days.

Can anyone tell me ,how can I get the campaign victory/defeat conditions when campain starts ?(to capture Seoul,something like that ).

[Cloud 9]

Are you asking how to make it last longer? Which Campaign are you talking about?

I think he want to know how to find a definition of the factory conditions.

@Shadow:

factory conditions.

Really?? Don’t see any factory discussion in his post. LOL

I know what’s he’s asking, I just didn’t want to assume and would rather have him clarify his post.

It was late & the bottle was empty.

That was a major factor to my non victory over the English condition.

And his post was clear enough.

Hi guys - I was flying KTO campaign in 4.33u2 version of falcon. After 3 days I occupied 2 from 3 NK cities and heading for 3rd (Hamhung). On the beginning of 6th day during the flight the game just paused and there is no way how to play new mission. I can play all of the previous, but when the clock reach 00:06:17 the game will stop. No video is playing (like victory/defeat). So I assumed according to previous posts that I haven´t right codecs? But when I push the button for video - it´s working… So I am confused - which codec I need? Is there some condition that if I don´t conquer all of the 3 cities in 5 day so the campaign just stop? In .tri file I didn´t find any of it… If I understand correctly to yours idea - somewhere in .tri file for KTO is line where I can change the day required for vicotry and the saved campaign will go again?
Thanks for suggestions.

In all the years of flying F4, I did not know there was time limit. Or maybe my memory is just failing me… Currently I’m in PM of Day 2, and I’ve pummelled NK’s AD, and I’ve slowly got tanks rolling North. Hopefully I’ll win within 5 days!

[Shadow]

There more then one version of KTO. And then there is three separate scenarios,

Which are you talking about ?

EDIT: I know its unlikely to be Iron Fortress.

Where is this information located? I was unaware of any default end-game triggers in the campaigns, I’d like to modify these events in my files as well if I can find out where and how. Looked through each of my save files in TacEdit, but I am unfamiliar with save file editing and was just looking specifically for what you wrote there “Event #16”. If you can tell me where to find that, I’d be very grateful.

Each .cam file, i.e., has a corresponding trigger file, or .tri file as follows:

Save0.cam = Save0.tri
Save1.cam = Save1.tri
Save2.cam = Save2.tri
