That depends on how you want the missions in the different episodes.

If you want different missions and historic missions on a certain date you need separate ops-files.

I don't plan on making my campaign too crazy, I just want to ensure I can play through its entirety without having that debilitating error preventing me from doing so.

[Venator77]

After changing the date range in the ops file, I saw some progress, but I get the error again after playing the 2nd mission. Game freezes when I try to move from the 2nd mission debrief to the 3rd mission.

Here are the logs and screengrab of the error window

The issue is with your ops file. the last entry in the DGenMOD.log tells me this. Looking at the avaliable operations there is just way too many for the generator to choose and one or more are not compatable
with your campaign. Unfortunatley the logs wont tell you which one it was trying to select. So start with a simple ops file based on the cluster list that is in your DGenMOD.log

 eg. cBattery Axis you would use oRedAttackBattery and oRedBombBattery
      cTroops Axis                        oRedAttackTroops  and oRedBombTroops

Dont use transfers, freehunt, verify, rescue, etc.  (Keep it simple) If all goes well you can add other operations that may suit the campaign your designing and see what happens.

The smallest of errors can break DGen in many ways so keep backups of your campaign progression

[Venator77]

So I would have to write the ops file from scratch rather than repurposing an existing ops file? Blast, I guess this is what happens when you try to rush things on the first attempt. I'll try your suggestion and see how it goes.

[Venator77]

So I put only one mission type (FreeHunt) and it works, though the game takes a bit to process.

BTW, how do I ensure no squadron friendly aircraft stay German? I had a few planes like the Ju-52 and Fw-189 appear in Spanish colors and I want to prevent that.

In the [Planes] section, explicitly indicate the nation for these aircraft

Axis Germany 10 FW_189A2

What is your GroundIntensity setting in DGenMOD.ini?

To save loading time when testing the campaign I suggest you use GroundIntensity=Medium instead of High.

[Venator77]

I do medium. I'll probably reduce to low since I don't really go after extra targets these days.

Just so it will not work to add them. I have planned a further increase in countries, but so far there is no time.

Hi Asura!

I'm back with my new nations project!

I have ready the squadrons for:
Luftstreitkrafte
Kaiserliche Marine-Fliegerabteilung (because in Imperial Germany the 2 services are indipendent like in Japan for IJN and IJA)
Austro-Hungarian Empire
Ottoman Empire

about GERMANY the files:

1 list of pilot names, Oldgermans.dat (IN DEVELOPMENT)
2 list of cities - LKK.dat (IN DEVELOPMENT)
3 photos of pilots -\DGen\DI (IN DEVELOPMENT)
4 list of awards with images -\Missions\Campaign\DI\award.properties (DONE)
5 list of military ranks -\Missions\Campaign\DI\rank.properties (DONE)
6 background image - background.tga (DONE)
7 squadrons list -\ PaintSchemes\Regiments (DONE)
8 data-filled file for each squadron -\ PaintSchemes\Regiments (DONE)

Moreover I have also ready the needed related files for Germany: AWARDS and RANKS

In development the pilots portraits and the names....

What I need to understand is how to build the .dat section....

1) In the germans.dat file the names are listed with a number before it....how does this number mean and how many names I have to list?
2) How many cities I have to add in the related .dat file?

MOREOVER....about nations code....(if the new coded DGen is WIP) is still possible to:

1) change:

av Австро-Венгрия (WWI) - Austria-Hungary (WWI) into: ah Австро-Венгрия (WWI) - Austria-Hungary (WWI)

2) add:

dm Авиационная часть Императорского флота (WWI) - Kaiserliche Marine-Fliegerabteilung (WWI)
oe Османская империя (WWI) - Ottoman Empire (WWI)

Hi!

What I need to understand is how to build the .dat section....

1) In the germans.dat file the names are listed with a number before it....how does this number mean and how many names I have to list?

This number is associated with the place of birth (city). Used to match the name to the place of birth.

2) How many cities I have to add in the related .dat file?

How much is needed for a variety of options. This parameter has no defined rules.

MOREOVER....about nations code....(if the new coded DGen is WIP) is still possible to:

1) change:

av Австро-Венгрия (WWI) - Austria-Hungary (WWI) into: ah Австро-Венгрия (WWI) - Austria-Hungary (WWI)

This can be done when I add new nations - I will correct.

2) add:

dm Авиационная часть Императорского флота (WWI) - Kaiserliche Marine-Fliegerabteilung (WWI)
oe Османская империя (WWI) - Ottoman Empire (WWI)

Expansion of the list is also possible, given that I will have all the necessary data files it is not difficult to do.

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Thanks Asura for your precious help!

I start to build the pilots data....

I plan to finish the Luftstreitkrafte files in the next few days....

I think that the first beta will be with the 2 german air services....simply because them are almost the same....

Hi all!

Hi Asura!

Work still on!

I have done the pilots names update!

For Germany (corrected all files to use code DI for Army and DM for Navy in game): I have added at the stock germans all the WWI aces (more than 300 names) and actually the file list about 1000 names....I have to work on the length of each 1 to 9 section names to have in each the same number of names....do you think that is possible to point the game engine to use them also for navy?

For Austro-Hungarian (corrected all files to use AV in game): I'll add at the stock gemans the names of all WWI aces (more than 50 names) plus a similar number of the most commons Hungarian names and surnames to give the correct variability....

A question about pilots images: how many I can add? I'm asking because atm I have the images for 185 WWI german aces and I'm wondering how many can be used from the game....I need to know: no less than X no more than Y.....

As I'll complete the 2 germans files I'll start to edit the Austro-Hungarian and Turkish (their units code is TO that stand for T(urkey) O(ttoman)) files....where I hope to find sufficient images for build the pilots images....
