Hi,

I know this is a well known "problem", but I still wanted to ask, if there may be a way to make it possible to "read" the campaigns.ini file and edit it? Here are so many talented people doing awesome stuff by modding the hell out of IL-2, so why isn't it possible to make this weird file able to edit? There must be a system in this file, or not?

Best regards

Hello,

You can edit the campaign.ini with a simple text editor (notepad for example)

Code: [Select]

but I think you want in fact to modify the .mis file : same method with notepad
(shortened due to site limitations)

Hope it helps

.ini, .mis and .properties are simply just text files with weird endings (the latter two particular to IL2)

notepad is your friend as stated above.

[vonofterdingen]

I think he means the campaigns.ini file in the Users directories, the one that stores your user/character's current campaign status. It's a binary file but I suppose it can be deconstructed...but why? What use value would that have?

[kingle92]

Yes I mean the campaigns.ini in the users directory. I had the problem, that I had a corrupted mission file, that I replaced with the original one. But when I selected the mission the file still seemed to be corrupted. I think, even if you delete a started campaign in the campaign startup window, it still exists in the campaigns.ini what may cause some problems. So I wanted to check this file but its unreadable. Thats why I would like to be able to read this file.

[Vampire_pilot]

to my knowledge nobody ever has made this particular file accessible or break its code, and I am around for some time.

[Flying H]

If as you say you think that file corrupts a fresh campaign with the same settings, try to make a new pilot and start the campaign from there and see if you get stuck the same way.
A coorupt mission file should be checked via the FMB to find out where the problem is, or via the other .mis, .ini, .properties or .log- files. Never heard of anyone opening the campaigns.ini inside a \users\pilotname folder! (Been around for 16+years now!)

[vonofterdingen]

Even if you had an editor for the file, the editor would not be able to open the corrupt file anyway. One thing you can do is back up that file. That's a good practice.

[kingle92]

I changed that mission in fmb (there was a flight path missing) and after saving it, I played that mission (it worked). But when I finished the mission and the game was switching to the next one, the screen just started flickering...so I replaced the whole campaign with the original files, started from the first mission again, but at the same point, the screen flickered again. So my thoughts where, that it can't be a problem of the campaign, as it worked before I changed this mission...so maybe the problem is in this campaigns.ini...but I don't know. Somehow I managed it to move to the next mission....but I was just asking, why this file can't be read.

[Gatrasz]

I have to say that, to me, it looks like a typo in a mission's name, or in the campaign.ini file of the related campaign, not the one from 'users' directory. Last time I had this flickering-screen bug, I think a mission named '214_VMF.mis' was called '214 VMF.mis' or something, and with a space in the name or a wrong name, it did not work and created the same problem. I may be wrong but it looks very similar...
