I haven't updated the generator in a while, but it's time...

I introduce version 2.1.0.0 allowing you to realize almost any mission possible in the game. COMPLETE instructions for creating campaigns. The data files are compatible with 4.14.1.

Quote from the DGenMOD 2.1.0.0 User Manual:

The modified dynamic campaign generator (DGenMOD) is a further development of the generator, developed by Vadim "Starshoy" Kolosov for 1C:Maddox Games. The new generator is based on the original code and algorithms of DGen version 4.0.4.1. DGenMOD is fully compatible with Il-2 Sturmovik version 4.11 m or above. The generator can be used both with the original version of the game and the MOD version (the mod does not matter).

WARNING! As of DGenMOD version 2.0.5.0, the files containing aicrafts definitions, available loadouts and maps related files are only fully compatible with: DGenPack (version 3.0) itself based on the Team Daidalos patch (4.14). The maintenance of separate configuration files (for HSFX, DBW, etc...) has been discontinued. Files for these modpacks are no longer provided with the generator."


But, you can edit the default DGenMOD dat-files so they work with other mods in Il-2 Sturmovik version 4.11 m or above.

Hi Asura!

I'm building the DAT files for my learning campaign....a WWI campaign as I'm also building the new WWi countries....

In this process , I noticed that in some DAT files the x y coordinates are listed as 19782.56;5614.33 while in others are listed without the decimals like 89745;58472....

I believe that the most precise info should be for AF and the less for TOWNS and ZONE....but considering that , when placed , a point reference object have always the decimals....I hope that is the same if I always use in the DAT files editing the decimals coordinates....

Am I right?

I plan to use decimals coordinates mainly because in my textual editing of the DAT files , this is a quicker option than deleting the deciamls....

Hi!

I'm not dead....still working on....

About my WIP:

DGen campaign: Done the entries for SOMME MAP (Towns , Bridges and Airfields) , reworked the map tga with an historical map and placed all the corresponding name in text section for the TOWN coordinates

New Nations: almost finished all ranks , awards , backgrounds and icons....slowly about names and portraits because I'm adding all historical aces....so I'm spending a lot of time in copy names and places of birth....

Is possible to use DGEN to generate single missions? For example, a strike mission for Stuka, with take off, flight to target and get back to base encountering enemy AAA and fighters, and maybe even get an escort. Or it just generate campaigns?

You can create a campaign with one combat mission. If the file osp*  provides several options for this one day, the generator will create a mission with different conditions at random.

Can you please explain me how to do that?

[Asura]

Can you please explain me how to do that?

You must create a campaign with all the necessary data, and specify only one date in the DB file in the [Schedule] section. In the ops file, also specify this date in all lines. And the generator at the start of this campaign will create one departure - generate the mis file. The main thing is that for all the system in the ops file, targets are available for the specified day.

You can take some ready-made campaign and shorten the Schedule list to one date, it is better to leave the very first.

The generator can be run from the command line: DGenMOD.exe us 6

Command line options are available in the user manual. The generated mis file can be opened in a full editor and run the mission. This is an alternative possible option for getting one mission and then playing it.

Need to check that, will report back, thanks Asura!

And where is the place to get WAW compatible Dgen campaigns?

And where is the place to get WAW compatible Dgen campaigns?

If you mean DGenMOD campaigns for BAT, I don't know of any.

But I'm going to make my GenMOD campaign "Polenfeldzug 1939 / Kampania Polska 1939" BAT compatible, hopefully in the beginning of next year.

Understood, and is there a campaign generator for BAT mods?
