Thank you

Asura

Did you miss my last message?

I'm stuck with that subcampaign. You gave up?

Thx

I am sorry that immediately didn't answer. I while am engaged in the generator from time to time. I will look at your campaign on Monday (on July 23) and at once I will tell what not so.

[Lagarto]

Asura, are you planning any 'quick-fix' upgrade of the DGen before the big 'association of branches'?

Only if critical mistakes are found, or the special version for founders of campaigns is required. All further development isn't meaningful without uniform structure of the program.

[Lagarto]

We only need that two [EnemyNation] fix for our MTO campaigns

Ideally, there would be no limit of 'enemy nations', to allow England, Australia, France, and (in the future, hopefully) South Africa in the same campaign on the 'red' side.

Don´t want to stress this aspect anymore, but it´s also vital for all ETO campaigns, as there are at least USAAF and RAF as opponents for Luftwaffe campaigns, in early war scenarios other nations like France, Belgium and Netherlans also.

In my Solomons campaigns I have both US and RNZAF aircraft in the same missions when flying as Japanese. If there really is a problem it is obviously just an issue of the European part of DGen.

[greybeard]

It looks there are three level of this issue:

1).Those that haven't it at all (Juri)
2).Those that have it with two nations (Lagarto)
3). Those who have it already with only one nation (me).

Odd.

In the meantime, I found this example of settings*.dat file:

Code: [Select]

I was unable to find meaning of many of its sections (AF_OFF, Distance, AirStart) and, of course, of their own items (e.g.: AFRange, ClustersRange, etc.). Could I have a complete explanation of this kind of file?

Thanks,
GB

Looks like the problem with settings.dat file is not only limited to 'enemy nation'. I've played a string of missions in a German campaign and I haven't seen a single Italian plane, even though the DB and planes.dat files are full of them. Perhaps there should be another parameter, something like [FriendlyNation]?

[Asura]

I will tell honest - in the current version of the generator I solved the question "EnemyNation" on the simple. That as that worked. But yesterday the decision which will allow to solve this problem literally dreamed me  - possibility in the DB file in section [Planes] will set the necessary nation. For example:

[Planes]
20 C_47 Allies USA
2 C_47 Axis Japan
18 B_17G Allies USA
8 B_17G Allies England

I think it will solve all problems and will allow to receive in missions planes of all necessary nations without restrictions. In the course of association of branches I will change at once algorithm of selection of planes in mission.

I will try to make the instruction on the settings.dat file this week.

[greybeard]

I think should be firstly understood how it works current bond between map and planes. Already current setting of [EnemyNation] seems ignored by game and it keeps taking aircrafts according to map that are missing from DB file and not belonging to specified [EnemyNation]. I mean that if this hardcoded bond isn't mastered, also your proposal to "single" by plane [EnemyNation] could fail.
