Hello:

Testing my BAT install and have another discrepancy.

There is a difference between the JU-88A4 weapons loadout that is available in the game & the JU-88A4 weapons properties located in the  \#WAW2\STD\i18n\weapon.properties.


The original properties for the JU-88A4 is this was as follows:

When testing my newly installed BAT using a mission using the JU-88A4, there was a "pink airplane issue". I remembered having an issue with the JU-88A4 weapons loadout early in my original CUP. I received the following help from Moezilla:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51319.0.html

Which involved a JSGME mod & replacing the weapons properties for the JU-88A4 with the following information:

This solved the pink airplane issue and the airplane works in BAT, but the weapons loadout for the JU-88 in the game is not correct:

Here are 4 screenshots that show in order the available loadouts, which don't match the current weapons properties.













So, are ther any ideas about what could be causing the discrepancy and how to fix it....FYI. I tried to use the #WAW20_Ju88A4Fix JSGEM Mod that Moezilla made for CUP, that made no difference in the available loadout whether the Mod was activated or not.

Any ideas suggestions appreciated.

many thanks.

Not sure how much that mod you've installed is suitable for BAT at all, but what you see is the standard weapons.properties from BAT's "#WAW2\STD\i18n" folder, and there the Ju-88A-4 loadouts are indeed wrong:

The best way to fix this is probably to just use Notepad and write down correct entries instead or wait for a BAT patch fixing this file.

Thanks for the reply. I'm uninstalling that CUP Mod #WAW_JU-88A4_Fix...it didn't do anything at any rate.

I can easily edit the weapons.properties in  "#WAW2\STD\i18n" folder using Notepad...

So do I understand correctly that the code you posted is the CORRECT weapons.properties for BAT JU-88A4 including the "Header?

No, that's the code you will find inside weapons.properties from BAT "#WAW2\STD\i18n" folder.
It's the wrong code and needs to be edited.

Best regards - Mike

Sir

After taking a second look...

I realized that the code I was posting in my first message was not the weapons.properties, but rather the "weapons_de.properties" inside the "#WAW2\STD\i18n  I corrected it back to the original...but when I look at the plain weapons.properties file, that shows exactly the code you have posted.

The plane is flying, but it does not make available the full loadout options that are normal. Only the options that I show in the screenshots.

I guess I'm a bit confused what exactly you are suggesting I edit the "weapons.properties" inside "#WAW2\STD\i18n to read for the JU-88A4?

Thanks & sorry to be dense.

Well...
This will become messy.
The underlying issue is a mixture of issues.
Let's see what we have:

• The Ju-88A-4's weapon declarations file (a so called "cod'ded" encryption weapons file) doesn't have all available loadouts listed as they appear in weapons.properties.
  This is something to be fixed by the modder who did that cod file.
• Some of the Ju-88A-4's weapon declarations from the cod file are plain wrong.
  For instance the single SC-1800 and single SC-2000 loadouts show a pair of these bombs instead.
  That's simply an impossible load for a Ju-88A-4 and needs to fixed by the modder who did the cod file again.
• IL-2 loads weapons.properties files according to your PC's or your game's language specification.
  You can setup the language in conf.ini file, [rts] section, line "locale=en" for instance for english language or "locale=de" for german.
  If no such line in conf.ini exists, the game tries to match the locale of your operating system installation.
  properties files are loaded with the locale in respect, meaning the game will first try to load the property from the matching locale file, and only if that file doesn't exist or the property in question doesn't exist inside that file, or if your locale is english, it will use the "default" properties file.
  This means that if your locale is german, the game will try to load the Ju-88A-4 loadout options from weapons_de.properties.
  Since they exist inside that file, they will be loaded from there.
  Wouldn't they exist, or would your locale be english, then the file weapons.properties would be used instead.
• The contents from weapons.properties and the locale versions like weapons_de.properties don't match for the Ju-88A-4.
  Apparently someone created a massive mess here.
  These files are ASCII text files so any user can fix them and, if he's kind to others, share his fixes.

Best regards - Mike

Moezilla's fix was made for WAW but it should work in WAW2 as well.  I will take a look at it later...

[laugust5]

OK Sirs. Thanks for the information.

FYI I checked my config.ini and in [rts] I have locale=...in other words nothing. Not sure if that is a problem?

Since attempting to fix this on my own with the Moezilla fix, which DID NOT solve the issue when activated in JSGME, I have since deactivated & deleted the #WAW_JU88A4_fix file from my BATMODS folder.

In addition the JU-88A4 coding for the "weapons.properties" & the "weapons_properties.de" inside my "#WAW2\STD\i18n are back to the original state that they were after installing BAT thru expansion pack 4.

For now the JU-88 works in the game, its just frustrating that the correct weapons loadout options for this aircraft are not available. perhaps the issue can be resolved with a future expansion pack update.

If there is something that I am missing, please inform me.

[laugust5]

This issue is now resolved. I loaded the alternate dll files trying to solve another issue & coincidently I find that the correct JU-88A4 loadouts are now available...this could have been fixed with the latest expansion pack...Not sure..anyway its fixed on my game.

Thanks
