Older Mission Help

M

MTG196

aka: Warthog
I recently installed an older mission pack that i enjoyed flying prior to ETO. This mission pack, called "Tiffie", contains twenty missions set in '43 where you fly a British typhoon (the AvH version) against various German targets in occupied France.

When I installed this pack into ETO most of the missions work fine, but with at least four of them i get the 'mission file failed to load' error.

Is there a way to edit these missions to work with ETO? :icon_lol:


The mission pack can be found here:

That should be no real problem to do..i've reset many of my older CFS3 missions to work in ETO, infact several i have uploaded are from CFS3 redone for ETO..I have about 300 or so missions I am working to use in ETO as we speak..It isn't to difficult to do..Just make sure the facilities, and aircraft are there, and the othe various needed files weapons, Guns and the like are loaded into ETO also..
If I can help in any of this just let me know..:applause:

also check the airbases called for in the missions, the ones in ETO don't always have the same names as CFS3, that may be the problem with those that are not working now..

Check the airbase names, the names in ETO are not always the same as those in CFS3, that may be your problem with those that are not working now..I have found in several of my redone CFS3 missions, the airbases were a problem..
 
...and the V rockets arnt there either and possibly object too.....i dont think the airbases has anything to do with it...

...allways check a mission in MB MISSING STUFF TURNs UP THERE...
those tiffie mission s are great....
my 2 cents

I tried loading the mission pack with a fresh ETOv1.2 install, I followed the instructions exactly and installed all of the needed extras(spawns, facilities, trains, etc...) and i still get the 'mission file failed to load error'.

As far as the mission builder goes, I have no idea what to look for.:isadizzy:
 
Whenever a mission fails to load, the problem is usually something that is written into the mission...and you don't have 'that something' in your CFS3 install.

Most of the time, mission builders will supply many of the parts and pieces, but your either missing something, or perhaps there's a typo.

Spawn files, weather files, etc., and 'anything' that might be written into THOSE files, could be the problem. All of the file system works together, and can get a little complex.

I'd suggest picking a mission that won't load, and dig through it, checking on your install everything it's calling for. A good chance when you find the problem, and fix it, you'll have the fix for the other missions in that pack that won't load.

Good luck!
 
Hello,
This pack needs the "Ground Crew Rail Traffic - For added variation with the spawn files" Please help me to find these.
Thanks in advance
 
Ground crew Rail traffic

Emile.

Go to Reg's hanger. Select Ground Crew and CFS3 stuff. You will find the Ground Crew Rail traffic in there. There are 3 seperate downloads.

Check if this is what you need.

I installed a vanilla stock CFS3 and a vanilla ETO v1.2.
I put all of the required files for the mission pack into each install.
They all work in stock CFS3.
I still have the same problem with ETO.:banghead:
 
Which Missions donot Load?

In your original post you said 4 of the 20 Missions didnot load. Which ones did not load?

On your reload did the same 4 Missions not load?
 
Missions 01, 08 and 13 will still not load. Mission 03 would not load prior to a complete re-install of ETO.
 
Since those missions use quite a handful of spawn files, you might consider looking through them first.
There's a chance the ones used in the missions that won't load, could call for a/c that you might not have, or are named different. If those missions use the same spawn files...there's a good chance.

:wavey:What I did was to copy all Fac, Pylons, Guns, Weapons, Spawns from Cfs3 to ETO, DON'T OVER RIGHT ANYTHING.

I had the same problem. Everything in ETO working now.

Hope this helps.
 
To: MTG196, crossman and Old Tiger. I loaded "Mission 1" BUT!

I edited the Mission 1. I removed the facility "gris633." The Mission loaded in my ETO. I flew to the target site and found the Airbase but no Radar site.

The Mission makes reference that my wingman and I are to destroy the Radar.

I re-opened the Mission and found no facility as in "military_rader_2" in it?

Need help

"Sorry crossram." I had crossram written down and I still messed it up

LOL! No prob on the handle. Hell, most folks don't even know what a 'crossram' is! (It's a part of a life-size project I hope to get together one of these days.)

"military_rader_2"??

There's one prob right there. Should be military_radar_2, which is included with the mission pack. So it's simply a typo in the mission itself?

One other note...for anybody to think about...using military_radar_2 as an example. In CFS3, military_radar_2 is a stock facility, or I think it is. I've made so many blasted changes on my files, can't keep track.
Point is, is there any difference between the 'stock', and the facility file included with the missions?
If so, it should be up to you, which you use. Those particular facility files are also used by the global_layer. LOL, and the point that in either file, do you have all the parts and pieces that are written into those files?

Hehe...we gettin' messy now!
