Title: Nightfighter campaign for DBW: "Baby Blitz"!
Post by: SAS~Poltava on August 14, 2011, 10:58:09 AM
I have made a nighfighter campaign for the Mosquito Mk II NF. It is built as per DBW standards (i.e using only default skins) and is called "Baby Blitz":

Intrigue! Very recklessly and original.

I've downloaded and installed this intriguing mini-campaign but get a 'memory cannot be read' conflict error as soon as the mission has finished loading. The module that fails is NVOpenGLPbuffer. Actually, this happens on several missions/campaigns, although previously all of yours have run without a hitch, Poltava. Anybody have any ideas where to start looking?  >:(

Pardon an ignorant question, but I found the following  "Remember that you also need to have sound files in your BBC folder in order to have anything to listen to!" in the explanation.  Where in the heck is anything like the "BBC folder"?  There was also something about "Next Beacon" or some such, but I just need to do this one step at a time.  I haven't attempted the campaign yet, but its downloaded and ready for installation, and I just don't want to screw anything up when I do.  Thank you.  Please remember this is an old guy asking again, so I have an excuse for not being too smart. :)

Dear Bob!

Never mind the BBC etc. You can play the campaign perfectly well without it. (It is a nifty addition to version 4.101, that makes it possible to put radio stations on the map, so you can use them for navigation, or just listen to during flight.)

Thanks for the reply.  Now you have me interested.  Can you tell me just a little more about it?  Thanks for putting up with me.

in your Il2 root folder samples\Music\Radio\BBC

M4T Knowledge Base › Radio: Necessary game settings and mission editing (http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&op=show&kid=626)

Thanks for all that info.  I had no idea about all that stuff.  Of course, when you are 68 yrs old like I am, you get to the point where you are unaware of quite a few things, I'm afraid.  Thanks again.

hi Poltava!
this was the first campaign i installed on my new DBW 1.5 install. ;)
unfortunately...i get an immediate memory crash when starting it.... :(
i have very few other mods installed, the on ly one that i can think that might be affecting this is CY6's Command and Control mod.....mine is not the stock version that comes with DBW, but rather the V2 one that has extra randomised objects; planes, ground, weather, etc.
could this be an issue? i can't think of anything else that might be causing this.... ::)

Yes, I definitely think that the new version of the C&C mod is the culprit. The campaign is built using only what you can find in stock DBW 1.5. And it contains an early version of the C&C mod, so you have the potential of a clash there.

Try disabling C&C v2 and report back!

At the risk of showing my ignorance once again, what is the "C&C v2" that you speak of, and where would it be if it was there?   I don't think I have it.   I also am having problems with the campaign, and from what I read here, I am suspecting a memory issue (but please don't quote me on that).

Bob!

Don't worry about it. If you have the latest version of DBW it will run. Because the standard C&C mod comes with it. Adding version 2 (a more advanced version) of that Mod yourself will probably only cause problems.

Just stay with stock DBW and this campaign should run!

apologies for the delay - i can confirm removing V2 of CY6's mod, reverting to the stock one that comes with DBW, the campaign now loads and seems to be working so far...
lol, there's too much light near the pc at the moment, i'll wait for tonight when i can see a bit better, to actually play it... :D
