Looking at the campaign mission folders I have no trouble finding Borduria (BD) but I cannot for the life of me find Syldavia. It seems very odd that there is one and not the other. Can anyone throw any light on this? If it is right in front of me and I have missed it then I apologize and plead elderly and confused

Make a folder named SL

[Airbourne]

Thanks VP. I think even I can manage that. I am very glad the answer wasn't sitting there right in front of me in the first place.

P.S. Are there any medals? The Bordurians have a very nice set?

[Gaston]

A freind of mine made a set of "medals" when I released the Tintin campaign for Forgotten Battles 2.04, many years ago... i wil have a look this weekend to see if I can find this...

[Gaston]

OK, Airbourne.

Even more simple... this old campaign is available at M4T, here : https://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&get=4495.

I have checked, and it has everything you asked for Syldavia. Only one thing : it is placed in the NN folder. So, if you want to have a proper syldavian folder, just rename the folder as vampire-Pilot told you (SL). The campaign can be played, but you will also to modify the campaign.ini file, replacing NN by SL in the text in order to see the videos.

I hope it can help you ! Tell me if it works, as it interests me for my own proper use.

Right, so I downloaded the file and I have got it to work after a titanic struggle with a crashing map and exploding aircraft but I cannot get the videos to work whatever I do. I made all the changes in the campaign.ini but no luck. Perhaps I missed something somewhere. Personally I'm not too bothered as I am not a great video fan.

I realize that you have the medals for Syldavia and the ones in the game under Borduria are the same set, wrongly placed, so it is Bordurian medals that are missing. That is not such a problem to me. If need be I might use Bulgarian medals instead, if I ever make a Bordurian campaign.

Your skins are really great.

Hope this helps. I expect you will know what to do with the videos - after all, you made them!

[Gaston]

For the video... did you manually edit the campaign.ini file ???

Lines of the videos are :

EpilogueTrack Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/outro
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/intro
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/test
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/test2
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/alarme
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/crash
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/assassinat
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/amaih6
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/coupdetat
* Missions/Campaign/NN/Tintin/video/recco

They must be modified and become :

EpilogueTrack Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/outro
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/intro
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/test
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/test2
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/alarme
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/crash
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/assassinat
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/amaih6
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/coupdetat
* Missions/Campaign/SL/Tintin/video/recco

so, the corrected text become (in full) :

You can copy-paste it in the campaign.ini file, after deleting the previous text.

I have made a quick test. All videos play, all missions load without problems, no crashing map, no exploding aircraft on mission start (but there is one in which you may have to try several times to find the right way to start : the flight on the Amaïh-6, when you steal it on a Bordurian base, and have to take-off launched from a V-1 ramp...).

So... if works for me, should work for you ! And remember... these missions have been designed in 2004, modified in 2014 (before BAT existed). So, there can still be some little bugs...

Now, final note : I did not create the skins (have absolutely no ability for that kind of things...). The ones who have been created especially for this campaign have been made by UF_Zargos and Obélix, and I also found some others on www.il2skins.com (which do no longer exist). Medals, pilots skins and icon have been made by Tony. I only designed the missions, assembled them and created the videos.

[Airbourne]

I tried your copy-and-paste idea and the videos now work fine. I must have been doing something wrong but that is history now. The crashing map was also my fault and nothing to do with your campaign as such. The exploding planes disappeared when I opened a mission in FMB and made a small change. I think that is the kind of tiny bug you mentioned, which is quite common given that this campaign was not specifically designed for BAT; anyway all is well and working fine now. Great campaign I look forward to playing it.

[Gaston]

So... I hope you understand French, as briefings are in French, and video-texts too. By the way... yesterday, when checking, I had quite some pleasure watching these videos again, since very long time ! When I realize that it is a 2.04 campaign (with some modifications made in 2014), I think it remains quite not too bad !

[Airbourne]

French is fine. I just read it a lot slower than English and have a rather limited vocabulary. The campaign looks great to me - something refreshingly different.

[Gaston]

Thanks ! Unfortunately, I never had the time for a decent translation... and still do not have !
