Barkhorn1x 9 Posted December 6, 2007 Testing campaign mods for Jasta 13 - Starting out w/ the Fokker DrI - have added the following code: Upgrade=FIXED Upgrade[01].Date=07/14/1918 Upgrade[01].Type=FokkerD7 Upgrade[01].Texture=Jasta13 KnownAce[01].LastName=Buchner KnownAce[01].FirstName=Franz KnownAce[01].RankID=2 KnownAce[01].NumMissions=10 KnownAce[01].AirKills=2 KnownAce[01].AircraftNumber=999 KnownAce[01].Texture=Jasta13_Buchner - Half the time I get no upgrade - I guess they are not guaranteed, huh? - The other half I get the Pfalz D3 - which isn't even listed - What am I missing here? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barkhorn1x 9 Posted December 6, 2007 OK - bumped - and did more testing. My code format appears to be right - yes??? And what really pi$$es me off is that a quarter of the time I get an "upgrade" to an Alb DIII! Yea, some upgrade. Me now thinks that it has somethint to do w/ all of those Supply code lines for each side at the begining of the campaign_DATA files. I need help on this one !!!! Anybody? Beuller? Thanks.

Barkhorn1x 9 Posted December 7, 2007 Did a search and found a message posted by Firecage that indicated you may get a downgrade if the supply lines were not opened up. And I found another message that listed out definitions for the code pertaining to Supply in the Campaign_DATA file. So...I adjusted all of those Supply lines to MAX out the supply in hopes of generating a (somewhat) realistic upgrade result. No dice. Still got an Alb DIII (or a DV) and I never got my DVII. OK - I am done here w/ this Upgrade code - it is BROKEN!! My plan now is to go back to the two Expansion Campaigns and kill the upgrade codes I added and revise any Ace texture coding to match the starting a/c (which is a shame as now we cannot take advantage of many of the custome skins produced by the community. Then I will tackle the two original Campaigns by correcting starting a/c and addig Aces. At that point I will release here on Combat Ace for anyone who is interested.

Firecage 1 Posted December 10, 2007 Hey there, sorry I haven't answered but RL's been eating alot fo time lately. 1st off the codes not broken. I just did another test and it works fine. I think something isn't working together from one INI to another perhaps. open the **_data.ini and the regular camp**.ini file and check this out and make sure its right. in the data ini it should start something like this // German Unit 8 <-- note this number [AirUnit027] AircraftType=PfalzD3 UnitName=Jasta 11 ForceID=2 Nation=GERMANY DefaultTexture=Jasta11 BaseArea=Awoingt Aerodrome RandomChance=100 BaseMoveChance=10 Not in the camp**.ini you will see this [GERMANYUnit001] UnitName=Jasta 11 ForceID=2 UnitID=8 <-- make sure it is the same number here StartDate=09/12/1916 AircraftType=PfalzD3 DescFile=wwiFCCamp1Start.txt StartText=wwiFCCamp1Start.txt StartScreen=Jasta11.bmp CampaignBaseScreen=Jasta11.bmp If the squad your wanting to fly isn't the same on those two number it will find the one that matches and use its code. What it gets down to is the game isn't pointing at the squad your expecting. SO maybe the squad its actually ping at has the Pfalz D3 or Alb D3 as its next available upgrade... AS for the code here is what I have on the one I did the test for code working earlier UpgradeType=FIXED Upgrade[01].Date=1/1/1917 Upgrade[01].Type=AlbatrosD5 Upgrade[01].Texture= Upgrade[02].Date=4/1/1917 Upgrade[02].Type=AlbatrosD5a Upgrade[02].Texture= Upgrade[03].Date=6/1/1917 Upgrade[03].Type=FokkerDr1 Upgrade[03].Texture= Upgrade[04].Date=11/1/1917 Upgrade[04].Type=SchuckertD3 Upgrade[04].Texture= Upgrade[05].Date=1/1/1918 Upgrade[05].Type=FokkerD7 Upgrade[05].Texture= Upgrade[06].Date=6/1/1918 Upgrade[06].Type=FokkerD7F Upgrade[06].Texture= KnownAce[01].LastName=Richthofen KnownAce[01].FirstName=Manfred KnownAce[01].RankID=5 KnownAce[01].NumMissions=89 KnownAce[01].AirKills=44 KnownAce[01].AircraftNumber=1 KnownAce[01].Texture=RichthofenM Let me know if it doesn't work and I can help you look at the ini files to see whats stopping your upgrades.

Barkhorn1x 9 Posted December 10, 2007 Firecage: Thankws for the response. I checked the code this morning and all looks to be coded correctly. I would love a second opinion tho' as I DO want this stuff to work. Can I send you the files? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firecage 1 Posted December 14, 2007 Ok I got the files you sent and I see whats wrong. I will send you an email with the explaination of what to change and the corrected code. Campaigns can be nasty to find problems in at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
