Hi,
Yes, you can but I dont know how! Never played Coop!
Read Lowengrins manual for DCG, it explains what settings you need!

New Version is out!
Changes and download see first post!

First of all, thanks for this campaign pack. This are exactly the kind of campaigns that I'm forward to play with!

But I'm having a problem with one of the sub-campaigns of this pack:

- Invasion of Luzon, 8 January 1945

Everytime I start that campaign (Invasion of Luzon) when playing as a US Navy pilot (I tried the Dive bomber and Torpedo bomber careers) I always get the following error:

" is not a valid integer value


This is annoying since this is probably one of the campaigns that I was anticipating to play the most and of course after starting my career and when getting into that campaign, I believe that my career wouldn't progress any more.
BTW, I have two IL2 1946 installations, one with DBW and the other with ModAct+TFM412 and I get the exact same error when I try to play this campaign in either installation. I tried all other campaigns and they seem to work well (at least they generate the first mission) so this most probably be a problem related to the Invasion of Luzon campaign.

So please, could someone help me on this one? I would really appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, difficult to say, I will check it!
I am working on a complete update of all Phillippine campaigns! The main problem is, they are too many carriers in the .prd route and crashing sooner or later together! So I must add .srd routes for them! Also some other ship convoys make problems like in the Leyte subcampaign . . .
Normally all warships drive 29 km/h and all transports 19 km/h in a .srd route but some modded ships (like the IJN Kuma CL) drive different (real) speeds in the mission later!

[ricnunes]

Thanks for the reply and for looking into the problem, Lonestar67.

I didn't play the Leyte subcampaign missions yet but I know and tested that at least the Leyte subcampaign generates the first mission and it doesn't crash when generating it like it happens in the Luzon subcampaign. There seem to be something really wrong with the Luzon subcampaign since with all others I can at least generate the first mission (and don't crash in the process).

I'm also eager to play your updated Phillippine campaigns but in the meanwhile I would be more than happy to have a solution for this Luzon subcampaign problem since I'm eager (I admit) to start playing these great looking campaigns

Yes, had the same thing! Thanks for the hint, ricnunes!
First help, remove from the timetable.dcg these lines under the [LuzonUSN] section:

Code: [Select]

  19450108 NewPlane USN_VB_3A0 = SB2C4_Late
  19450108 MaxPlanes USN_VB_3A0 = 16
  19450108 ActivePlanes USN_VB_3A0 = 16
  19450108 NewPlane USN_VS_5B0 = SB2C4_Late
  19450108 MaxPlanes USN_VS_5B0 = 16
  19450108 ActivePlanes USN_VS_5B0 = 16
  19450108 NewPlane USN_VB_6B0 = SB2C4_Late
  19450108 MaxPlanes USN_VB_6B0 = 16
  19450108 ActivePlanes USN_VB_6B0 = 16
  19450108 NewPlane USN_VS_6B0 = SB2C4_Late
  19450108 MaxPlanes USN_VS_6B0 = 16
  19450108 ActivePlanes USN_VS_6B0 = 16
  19450108 NewPlane USN_VB_8A0 = SB2C4_Late
  19450108 MaxPlanes USN_VB_8A0 = 16
  19450108 ActivePlanes USN_VB_8A0 = 16
  19450108 NewPlane USN_VB_15A0 = SB2C4_Late
  19450108 MaxPlanes USN_VB_15A0 = 16
  19450108 ActivePlanes USN_VB_15A0 = 16
  19450108 NewPlane USN_VB_18A0 = SB2C4_Late
  19450108 MaxPlanes USN_VB_18A0 = 16
  19450108 ActivePlanes USN_VB_18A0 = 16
Save it and start a new campaign for Luzon!
Hope it helps!

Hi Lonestar67,

Yes, removing those lines did help and now when I start the Luzon subcampaign a mission is generated.


However I do have another problem with your campaigns, namely in the Dive Bomber (USN) career:
- When I select any subcampaign where I should play with the SB2C Helldiver, I don't get the Helldiver and I get/fly with the SBD-5 instead. And this despite having the SB2C Helldiver (including the C-1C, C-3 and C-4 Late variants) properly installed and working.
So could you help me solve this problem in order to be able to play with the Helldivers in your campaigns (the ones that should have Helldivers, of course)?
And to be honest I don't know if this problem existed before remove those lines above or not.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do u have a paintschemes skins folder for the helldiver?  All aircraft used by dcg require a skins folder even if nothing is in it.

The naming convention for the folder matches the named air.ini entry for the aircraft. 

[ricnunes]

That's it!
I forgot to place the paintschemes skins folder for the helldiver in my new TFM412 folder/installation but now my problem is solved, thanks for the help WindWpn   

[Cycle]

Yes, as WindWpn sad, a skin folder is needed but in two subcampaigns (Truk and second Rabaul strike), when the Helldiver appears historical the first time, it can still happen!
The problem is, that all USN dive bomber squads have at this point still the SBD in the .mis file, only one from the Bunker Hill have the new Helldiver! If then the player choose the Helldiver for a squad that have a SBD in the .mis file, it will not change! It will only work when you choose the Hornet Squad (USN_VB_8A assigned to Bunker Hill) or change the aircraft type of your squad in DCG for the next new created mission in the Squadron editior!
