DBW Mission Pro Combo Discussion & Bugs
dpeters95:
Anyone,
Maybe this has been discused eleswhere but I didn't see it.
When I create a mission in DBW using MissionPro Combo it saves the properties file as : "filename_ru.properties". This creates a little problem... Here is some testing results:
UP 3.0 (No MissionPro Combo)
filename_ru. properties = No description shown in the mission screen or in FMB
filename.properties = Yes description is shown in the mission screen and in FMB
DBW 1.71 (No MissionPro Combo)
filename_ru. properties = Yes, description shown in the mission screen and in FMB
filename.properties = Yes, description shown in the mission screen and in FMB
DBW 1.71 (MissionPro Combo Loaded)
filename_ru. properties = Yes, description shown in the mission screen
filename.properties = Yes, description shown in the mission screen
filename_ru. properties = Yes, description shown in the FMB screen
filename.properties = No, description not shown in the FMB screen
This all makes it a little hard to develop missions to ensure the player will see your description files. You can make them all as "filename.properties " so the player will always see the description in the mission, but you run the risk of loading it into FMB to make a change and then it saves it as "filename_ru. properties", you delete the old file, and now you have blank description files.
Maybe there is a configuration change for this??? Comments please...

Ok, well I just found as of the UP 3.0 RC4 Patch-HotFix:
"- For the first time the locale= parameter in conf.ini works as intended. If you set locale=US you'll have the campaigns and everything in English. That means that you have to make a mission brieffing file without the "_ru" prefix for the US locale also. Other locales are fr, pl, etc.. But of course they need to translate some menus to function 100%. If the locale= parameter is not set, the game will try to find the correct locale from window's settings. This new feature is made by SAS~Storebror"
This means that since MissionPro Combo creates "filename_ru.properties" files, you can go in to the "Conf.ini" file and under "[rts]" make "Locale=RU". This then will enable UP to read "filename_ru.properties" files! The problem is, how many casual mission players will know this? This of course assumes you are creating English description files. Is there a French version of MissionPro Combo to create "filename_fr.properties" files???
If anyone knows another way to make all of this standard, please reply...

May I pose a question? Here is the issue for me. Didn't know where to post - Mission Pro Combo thread or DBW general discussion.
In DBW, I've come across a number of Quick QMBPro missions where I get a "Data file corrupt 1" message when starting. I've been able to "fix" several of the missions by hitting "FMB" and searching for then correcting an obvious error, such as an inapproriate number of flights.
On other occasions, I've not been so lucky. Two examples are the Red/Blue Dieppe and Dunkirk missions on the BOF map. After receiving the error message, then hitting the FMB button, no map appeared. I finally figured out (or at least I think I did) that the problem was that the mission file entries were pointing to the wrong maps - the Dieppe missions needed the Western Front (WestFron44/WF44S) map while the Dunkirk missions needed the BOF (BoF/ash) map. However, after correcting the entries, the "fix" works erratically. Sometimes the one or more of missions will load, other times not. And there seems to be no pattern to this. I've had a similar issue with other missions/maps, such as Lybia.
I've also noticed when looking at the Quick QMBPro mission folders, some maps/missions have just MIS files inside, others have MIS files and PROPERTIES files. Don't know if this has any bearing, but I found it curious.
Any thoughts or help would be great.

99% of the time if i get "Data file corrupt 1" message, if i exit QMB and re-enter, the mission will load ;) only three clicks :)
hope that is some help, if the Mission/map does not correlate then some editing will have to be done
Cheers Dakpilot

In DBW 1.71 East Africa quick missions do have NWEurope/load.ini in the mis.files
