Custom modded folder for Aegean Theater
-
@Cloud:
I replaced everything, except the campaign folder and I still get the exit crash. Did you change anything in the Campaign folder? I have done a significant amount of work in it and really wanted to get it to you in a bit, though I didn’t know you were on the verge of releasing an update.
Not a biggie, I’ll continue on.
Tks,
C9
Hello Cloud9,
all I do is install vanilla Aegean theater and then overwrite “Add-On Aegean” folder with “Aegean Wars” pack. I do not change anything else.
The pack contains all the latest updates from Neystratiou, so no need to install aditional files.
I’ve never had any crashing issues on exit with Aegean Theater before except when using Tomcatz 2014 tiles and with Manos1981 “Save0.cam”.
About the update - no worries mate I can update the archive again anytime you are ready, so take your time - really looking forward for your edit of the campaign!

I think its a bug within the theater or something indeed the campaign i made it is crashing on exit, not every time but 80%. Cobra if you like i would stop to continue editing the campaign. I know it will take me some time to do something that will be good enough. But i would love to continue and if Cloud 9 wants i’m here if he haves something else to share with us. As i said in older posts i tried to give a more realistic OOB but still tried to keep some assets like E-3 squadron and some older aircrafts like f-5’s to give an late 80’s early 90’s feeling. Its your call if you want me to drop it or continue.

cloud we need a bigger ( ) .tri file only 6 events??? lol it rocks though, but to many sead strikes ar the start (ok i was still ediiting the OOB i even got some D’s in the battle they take care of most of the TASMO and Strike missions) but (again this “but”) I will sugest some ground action (my efforts had failed) like Turkish forces gaining perts of greece or greece gaining parts of turkey. i can send you a .tri file but needs work to be compatible with “stock” Aegean let me know…. Cobra you also NOW have this .tri file… unfortunatelly it doesnt work with 1.1…

Hi ,
That’s true we must follow the install procedure given in updated post 1 from Cobra00 !
I just change the clouds with those in “Grafikverbesserungen” from TomCatz and now : I’ve the 28 training
missions operationals and no crash on “exit” .I don’t understand why but I had a crash in flight in my second
installation of BMS4.32 but I must say I 've replaced the Add-on Aegean\ …\Terrdata\Objects by the folder
given in “Grafikverbesserungen”. As you could say : it’s just graphic,so,why a crash.
Now I’ll try again your Aegean.rar in page 7 (Save0.cam) to see… -

Now I’ll try again your Aegean.rar in page 7 (Save0.cam) to see…I dont think that RAR is still available… I will have a new one soon im testing it right now… be patient…
EDIT : Here it is… needs again some work though in skins cause of different database but the general idea is this who ever want to try it feel free… it opens the third Campaign, i’ve added some D’s thats why in some greek squadrons you will find double entries for example in larisa there is 2 337 (one is C52+ the other D52+) most of the ground units and naval units are as in Cobra00’s save with a litlle more on the greek side. SAM battalions corectly have “airdefense” as a task. The idx files are the same as Cobra’s but there in for another reason.
https://www.sendspace.com/file/qzjdz5Edit 2 : i might have a “fix” for the crash… we will see… hang on…
Edit 3: I dont know but might be the “fix” i still got some CTD’s when exiting sim even with the lates update from Cobra not to mention my campaign. Well i use Windows 8 and i found in c:…/FalconBMS 4.32/Bin/x86/Falcon BMS.exe and gave it administrator rights… no more ctd’s… anyone wish to check and share the results? Not the Hub.exe but the Falcon BMS.exe -
Hi,Manos1981
I tried your file but from first mission at Nea anchialos +/- 3:42 (I think) the plane exploded immediately
when rolling on taxi and i must say I didn’t saw the taxi , the color of the ground is like the one of the grass.
We are waiting with patience,and hope you’ll find any solution for those bugs and another crashs!! -

EDIT: https://www.sendspace.com/file/xud2b3 Try this is the one i using to see if it is winable without any problems yet

where water should be, there is no texture as i see in first screen shots. no waves or anything so when dodging or fighting low it is extremely difficult to determine how low you are… am i missing something? or…

Where is that? And what do you mean?
-
I guess your graphics settings are low and that’s why you don’t see any water detail.
But yes there’s no coastal waves which makes the land looks like it’s floating over the water a little bit.
There’s a some works on that done by member Earlybite (check the Korea section) that imroves things a lot, but it’s only for Korea. I have consider doing the same work to Tom’s Aegean tiles, probably later this year during winter times, when I have more free time.
-
yes my graphics settings have to be low but it shouldnt matter because i have water textures in every other theater. now i did just dl and use the aegean wars theatre. dont know if this texture just hasn’t been added yet due to it being wip but at low level its like a black hole…i cant tell how low i actually am. and in response to earlier question, its everywhere in theater. not worried about coastal waves so much as just a texture of main water to be able to visually determine elevation from crashing at low level…
-
Well, this is what I see when flying low on max settings:
With Tom’s tiles the water looks darker than any other theater. Maybe his tiles are not set to be used on low graphics settings. One way you can try is to dellete the tiles from the Aegean Wars archive (located in “Add-On Aegean\Terrdata\texture\texture”) and use default Aegean Theater tiles. Please tell if that worked for you.

i can try but i didnt back up original agean and would i just replace the whole tex folder or specific files. also im gonna try to increase my gfx in sim. hopefully it wouldnt have anything to do with config in launcher but i have basic shaders on already…
-
okay so i raised object density and detail to max and i still see this…
i dont have water maping on in config but that hasn’t mattered with any other theater i have so…. also how do you post your screenshots as larg images instead of small like mine keep showing as?
-
Water shaders effect is not present in the Falcon setup menu. You should open Falcon BMS Config from the start up screen. You can adjust that effect from there.
About the large screenshots - you have to upload your screenshot to a image sharing site or similar like “postimage.org”. Then you have to copy the direct link to the image, paste it in the forum and put tags to be shown.

thats what i was saying in previous post was that i dont have that on in startup config but on every other theater i still have textures for water…
and thanks for the advice on screnshots -

and thanks for the advice on screnshotsJust had the same problem today… I exited the sim and with configuration i unselected the shaders hit apply and again re-selected them and again apply, re-enter the sim and everything was fine! strange isnt? At first i thought it might be sweetfx but no it wasnt…
-
I love so much this Aegean Wars Campaign.

why is everything on mediafire? is it to make people pay money or is there another advantage to using a site that people have to join? I thought the whole concept of falcon was for every person to have fun. don’t get me wrong but I have a hard time paying for downloads that don’t ever seen to just work. so if I have to work to get it to run I think I should get it free.
