With the latest release of CUP providing a new platform for making campaigns, I'm releasing the first version of a campaign validator that I've been working on. This will scan the mission files in a campaign, as well as files in the IL2 installation of choice, and make sure that the aircraft, skins, weapon loadouts, objects, vehicles, ships, etc are all present and that nothing is missing.

A version with an executable and maybe a user interface is coming, but I'm releasing the script version early for any campaign maker who wants a head start in adapting their old campaigns up to the new standard. Download the script below, edit the first three lines to point to the campaign, STD, and skin folders. You also need to have Python 3.4.3 installed until I release a compiled version. Run it through the command line, "python main.py". You can use it for any modded installtion (CUP, HSFX, DBW, more) as long as you point it to the right STD folder.

WARNING: In CUP WAW, and possible other installs, the air.ini has some bad characters that cause the script to crash on some PC's. To be safe, open up your air.ini, go down to the Japanese A6M section, and delete the "@" character in the middle of the whitespace next to some of the entries, as well as some of the whitespace around it.

Here's a sample output of Poltava's Abbeville Boys campaign for 4.12, with CUP #WAW:

Great idea - THANKS! As an avid FMB-er this will of course speed up things enormously!

[marcost]

Fantastic, thanks! Been racking my brains trying to create this myself!

I'm glad. Go and pester the CUP makers to add anything that's missing. I'm sure the community will have to figure out something to do about the CUP changes, pretty much every modded campaign I've tried has had some issues with missing or renamed aircraft or objects.

[marcost]

thanks, it works great except I had to disable the skin checking part. I get this error:

    files = os.listdir(path)
NotADirectoryError: [WinError 267] The directory name is invalid: 'G:\\IL2_HSFX_6.17_Copy\\PaintSchemes\\Skins\\Thumbs.db'

Here is my path entry:

##Path to Il2 paintschemes/skins folder
skinPath = "G:\\IL2_HSFX_6.17_Copy\\PaintSchemes\\Skins"

There is no 'Thumbs.db' folder or file in my Skins directory

If I change the path to

skinPath = "G:\\IL2_HSFX_6.17_Copy\\PaintSchemes"

then the script runs but of course it reports all skins as not found

Any idea?

Regards,

Martin

Oops, I just need to make a separate folder check. I'll post a fixed version this evening.

Updated version available at the link up top, try that instead. Should fix the skin issue.

[SAS~Monty27]

Thanks andqui, this is a very useful tool for retro-checking. 

[marcost]

Thanks Andqui, it works fine now!

One suggestion - could it be made to report on multiple campaign files i.e. search in subfolders for campaign.ini and run the script on each campaign file. I'm thinking of one large report which could be run on the whole il2/missions/campaign folder. It could put the campaign name at the head of each set of mission analyses.

I've also edited your code to provide an 'exception only' report i.e. only show the missing stuff as I have a lot of campaigns to check!

Thanks again for this very promising development

Regards,

Martin

[jeanba]

That's a very good idea

Thank you

[Moezilla]

Thanks for sharing your script andqui.

Very handy.

[asheshouse]

Great utility. Thanks.
