yeah thats what I feared...the stock dgen we have to use is limited beyond repair and the only way would be to go with Asura´s dgen, but thats also a no go; i dont know how well DCG copes with modded planes, but I am too stupid for setting that up properly either;
thank god theres a lot of good stock campaigns nowadays...

[Barkhorn1x]

Yup.

To bad we can't make Asura's work part of BAT?
Assume that's not possible. But is that true?
How "far along" is Asura's DGen at this point?

[Griffon_301]

Judging from his 3.0 pack he does the same but completely different...I got the USN Training missions pack from Motörhead, based in Asuras 3.0 Pack and had to rework all of those missions to fit them into BAT...
Problem is be has the same stuff but the classes are named differently and there is some new stuff thrown in, for example carrier lighting on request...
From what I gather, his DGen pack is like a mod pack, but based on new versions of the game...

[Barkhorn1x]

Interesting.  Do you have a link?

[Griffon_301]

for the training missions? I am in the process of rewriting them to BAT standard and might ask Motörhead if I may release them for WAW when I am finished...
just for example, here is a random excerpt of a mission involving F4U-1s ....

and this is one of the easier missions as it has less stationary stuff in it...
but I guess you see what I mean....

oh, if you love to download about 50gigs of idunnowhat then that 3.0 pack might be for you

[sturmbock]

About this Dgen that we are using in BAT, 04/19/2008, you can add the planes you want, but not using europlanes.dat or Pacificplanes.dat.

You must create a new .dat file for each sub campaign, if not already created. The new file will be called the same as the sub campaign adding the word "planes" without the quotes at the end, for example: for Orel43S.DB it will be Orel43Splanes.dat.

In this new file you will have to include all the planes of the sub campaign, even if they are in Pacificplanes.dat or EuroPlanes.dat.

There are many examples of this in Dgen, open some, surely they are more explanatory than this paragraph, especially in Boelcke campaigns, he added several planes to the campaigns.

Apparently the only thing I can't add are new maps, at least I don't know how to do it.

Never thought of that/tried that.
Oh boy!  Fingers crossed.
Need a few days to test.

Stay tuned and thanks.

Forget my previous coments. I have tried to add  F4U-4 and F8F without success.

Typhoons, Whirbelwinds, every new 190, 109 or Spitfire, B-26, A-26, Halifax, Lancaster, etc. are ok, but these two machines have something special.

There is no way, it doesn't matter to use pacificplanes.dat or subcampaignplanes.dat. in this case.

It doesn't matter if the plane is considered on board or not, Fighter or CFighter.

Neither option UseParkedPlanes works.

The result of DGenError is this :
- Without the mission distance set in config.ini:  "can't pickup starting base for new campaign" or
- With the mission distance set in config.ini:  "can't find suitable mission location."

[Vampire_pilot]

the classes and type declarations look identical to F6F. Nothing special about them.
The only thing on these two is that they year starts in 1945. Make sure you run in 1945.

[sturmbock]

Thank you Vampire.

I checked it in subcampaign Japan1.DB with schedule starting in 50601 and same DgenERROR.

I have not clue.

Greybeard or Boelcke probably have the key, they were doing a lot of research.
