want 2 make sure i dont put missions in wrong era's etc... / WHATS THE RIGHT ORDER : help :isadizzy:
Dasgoot2002, here goes:
Rule # 1 = Always start ETO to Era 1 and then exit before installing
anything, especially self-installers.
1. Era 1 = missions (folder name reads as 1936_missions while in any other Era).
2. Era 2 = bob_missions (folder name reads as missions while in Era 2, and reads as bob_missions while in any other Era).
3. Era 3 = 1943_missions (folder name reads as missions while in Era 3, and reads as 1943_missions while in any other Era).
4. Era 4 = 1944_missions (folder name reads as missions while in Era 4, and reads as 1944_missions while in any other Era).
5. Era 5 = 1945_missions (folder name reads as missions while in Era 5, and reads as 1945_missions while in any other Era).
Note: Each of these five folders contains a blank_mission.xml, a frontend.xml, and three folders: historical, training, and whatif.
The builder of an ETO mission will call for a specific Era for the mission in question. It is an absolute fact that the mission in question must be placed in the required Era, or problems may well occur, ranging from the mission not loading to a CTD. However, it not absolutely required to be absolutely correct with regards to historical, training, and whatif.
Historical refers to actual events, training refers to missions created for player training purposes, and whatif is events that never happened, but are of interest.
Note: Missions created for ETO probably will not work in Stock CFS3 with out crashing the sim.
Note: Missions created for Stock CFS3 may or may not work in ETO. Some can actually be edited to fit, but care must be taken.
I hope this helps. PM me if you have further questions or need other assistance.:d
. The new ones take advantage of aircrfat model updates, new skins, new scenery, etc. Thanks to all of the one´s who share their work with us!!
