__________________________________________________________________________
All greetings!
For those who already heard about project DGen_mod and for those who yet didn't hear - I have good news! ;) The first stage of works on the new generator is finished.
DGen_mod successfully forms the company and creates the first mission. Still it is a lot of work - the following stage "analysis of flights" (debrifing) and formation of all chain of missions. In investments result of tests of the new generator in game.

Good news
I look forward to seeing what's next
Custom maps ?
-
Yeah! Great!!! ;D ;D ;D
santobr.

Looking good Asura, looks like a dream will become true :)
-
I hope I can soon build the first campaign for the new DGen. :)
-
I look forward to seeing what's next
Custom maps ?
Already in this version all data for the generator is loaded from external files. It will allow to add without problems new planes and map without restrictions. Juri_JS prepares the data on the new company on which new map wasn't in DGen earlier. ;)

To be a little bit more precise, I have created the necessary data for the Solomons maps. If everything is going according to plan, I will do a campaign for the maps.

great !!!

amazing! have been waiting a long time for this.
-
This will blow the offline campaign world of IL2 wide open, brilliant stuff.
-
This is one of the best news that have happened to IL2 in a long time! Thanks a lot! :)
-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH man, love this community and this game!!
-
I'm with Flying H. Fantastic news.
-
This new dgen.exe project is a great new hope for campaign building. I hope that it will be possible sometimes to use at least some of the new maps with it. This will open many new possiblities to create new campaigns or/and older campaigns with newer and more suitible maps for ETO campaigns and it looks like for the PTO it will finaly be possible to use all the new "mod" planes.
Realy good news.
-
Great news. This really is a vital element of the core game. Good luck with your project.
-
I join my colleagues here: great news, very promising indeed!
-
Debrifing it is ready! The first alpha version coming soon... ;)
-
Yes :)
-
OMG! A dream is coming true!!! :'( :P
We will love to test it.
Thank you Asura! :D
santobr.
-
I look forward to testing it :)
-
this would have to be the most wanted mod ever for offline players. can't wait to breathe some new fire into the beast's belly
-
I have been hoping for a long time that something would be done to update DGen. :)

New Year and Christmas is time miracles, here and I had in the mystical image a first, almost working version of the generator. :) It not the test version and at all a beta, but five missions successively it in a condition to create.
ATTENTION! The incomplete, fact-finding version!
http://ifolder.ru/27880075 (http://ifolder.ru/27880075)
There is no branch Pacific (the companies for this purpose theatre won't be formed),
There are no maps of Kiev, Burma and Norway, there are no Italians.
I urgently recommend to start the given version on the SEPARATE copy of game!
Generator errors can lead to loss of all data about the dynamic companies
In a folder of the pilot!
Reports on errors yet aren't accepted - internal testing isn't finished yet.
All with coming New Year! ;D
-
As a bonus - pictures from the test of new company Juri_JS for a mod map of Solomons... ;)

My goodness, what happened? This thread just died with the end of the year! All this enthusiasm, excitement, to not a post for ten days...what gives? Forgive my curiosity...please.
-
Same in Aviaskins.ru
Asura wrote something about "February" which google translate couldn't properly translate :D
But after umpteen years of no dgen update we can be a little patient I guess.
The only thing this Dgen project would need is a bilingual coordinator, someone who speaks russian and english or russian and german.
Asura seems to speak only russian (at least he wrote me using autotranslate), but there are surely enough russians and russian speakers around?
My russian isn't nowhere near sufficient... :(
-
Happens nothing, simply in Russia there was vacation. ;D Testing a version alpha has been held, some errors are rectified. Now I have begun work on addition in the new generator of branch Pacific. Presumably, if to a course of works will prevent nothing in February there should be a beta the version of the new generator which will need all-round testing. I will keep you informed events ;)
-
Great news Asura!
Thank you!

Don't worry AntEater, Boelcke and I are in contact with Asura and are testing the new DGen. Even with Googletranslator the communication works well. ;)
-
Good to know.
Well I used to know a thing or two about Dgen but sofar I have mostly been able to produce crashes with the new one :D
But since it is a alpha version this is natural
But the possibilities are mind boggling.
To be able to use basically everything modded in a Dgen campaign is simply great.

Has added Italians and has rectified some errors.

Hallo, it does not seem to work with stock 4.11.
Dgen.exe is always terminated after finishing a mission.
My theory is a conflict with the allplanes and allclasses inis as they have all those modded planes in them, but not sure.

Same problem for me. I have send a detailed bug report to Asura.
-
I was just getting started doing a Hs 129 campaign :(
-
Btw, I don't know to what exten Asura can edit Dgen, but a 4.11 could make use of the new patrol waypoints.
Sofar, DGen always uses a triangle of Waypoints to make planes circle somewhere (CAP, escort assembly etc) this could be replaced by the new circle waypoints which are much more flexible.
-
@ Anteater: First step in developement is to create a dgen.exe which works like the old one, without bugs. After that, improvement can start.
-
Problem is I'm far too impatient for beta testing :D
How many missions have you had with the new generator before it crashed?
The old one only managed around five but maybe the new version is more stable.
-
the new version is a big improvement, many fixes and a lot faster than the former ones, looks like Asura is on a good way
-
Initialization of the company on PTO and the first mission - it is ready. It is necessary to catch appreciable errors and I will undertake for debrifing.

All greetings! I have almost collected the Beta version of the new generator. For carrying out of the closed testing I need 3-5 volunteers capable for two-three weeks to banish some companies. Naturally they should be banished with the admission of missions, but also it is necessary to do fighting departures. Interested persons write in personal message. First five will receive the reference to the new generator. :)
After the closed testing and revealing of appreciable errors I will lay out the generator for all.
-
Here is a link to a WIP thread of my first campaign project for the new DGen:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2283
-
Next week I hope it will turn out to lay out completely the efficient version of the new generator - RC1. The basic files are ready on 100 %, it is necessary to put things in order only in the complete set.
-
Great, thank's asura and team !

Thank you so much, sir. This is the most awaited update to entire IL-2 1946 community. 8)

DGen_MOD 1.0.0.5 RC1
This program is based upon original ideas and algorithms by Vadim "Starshoy" Kolosov.
DGen_mod is fully compatible with Il-2/PF version 4.071m and above.
https://www.mediafire.com/?k0i0hs4452qqtl0 (https://www.mediafire.com/?k0i0hs4452qqtl0)
It not the final version and mistakes are still possible.

Ok stupid question...I know it says DGEN_mod. but can it be used with unmodded il2 1946 version 4.11?

Gettting a "beep" error when I try to start a USN career. Seems strange that the error is something about a Singapore/UK problem. Is this user install error?

Losses were consequent, but the objective was worth our sacrifices. The Singapore fortress is history, and our forces can now head towards Burma and Dutch East Indies to finish off our job in Southern Asia.> <SingaporeBr>(aUK) <Several hours ago, Japan declared war upon the United States, striking the anchored Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbour. It is both a good and a bad news: what is good is that now, we can count on the United States' help in our struggle against the Axis forces; what is worse is the fact that there are great chances that Malaya may get assaulted by Japanese amphibious forces in the forthcoming days. We must get ready for any eventuality. This evening, the Royal Navy will sail out from Singapore and look for enemy troopships. The RAF is to provide cover to our boats and to Singapore city, which will certainly have to face air raids in a very near future. The success or the defeat in Malaya relies much on the RAF crews' shoulders: do not disappoint us and destroy the aggressor, or Singapore may have to fight for its survival.>

Yes. The adapted AllClasses.dat and AllPlanes.dat lists for version 4.11 now prepare, but lists from RC1 have all necessary data.

Unfortunately at me possibility wasn't high-grade to test the program in various languages. In version 1.0.0.6 your problem is corrected. Thanks for bag report!

I am curious why these three DAT files have no data in them?
- AfricaBR
- ArdennesBR
- Solomons0842BR
They are located in the Mods folder.

In the *BR.dat files there are coordinates of bridges on the map. It is necessary for formation of missions of type "Bridge attack" or "Protection of the bridge". In this case I took out data from the Starshoy code in the external file and in a code of data by bridges it was not simple. On correct they should be added, then in campaigns there will be additional missions. I will prosecute this subjects later.

Some basic questions
installation proceedure: new dgen exe will replace old dgen exe, what of the other files? do I insert them into the dgen folder where all the campaigns are kept?
By using these new files I should be able to get the Hs 129 operational in a luftwaffe ground attack campaign, using the old dgen the Hs 129 was recognised as a red plane if set up as player flyable.

If you extract all the files in the Il-2 main directory, then a 'MOD' folder will be created in your DGen folder.

Yes, it should work.

I am using DBW 1.71 with the new DGEN_mod. Everything works, but I am getting briefings in Russian. How can I fix this? Thanks for some great offline stuff.

That has nothing to do with the DGen_mod but is caused by the fact that the modded game is based on the Russian version of the game. It will always select the Russian language version of the briefings, that's why you have to replace them.
The DGen_mod is not using the briefings in the DGen folder, its briefing files are in this folder "DGen\MOD\Message". If you are using mods you have to delete the *Ru.dat files in this folder and copy and then rename the *En.dat files to *Ru.dat.
EDIT: Corrected wrong information. See Asura's post below.
-
So it will not turn out! A format of messages at the new and old generator the different! At simple replacement there will be many mistakes!
It is necessary to remove the *Ru.dat files in the DGen\MOD\Message catalog and to copy the *En.dat files having changed in ????????En to Ru. Then everything will correctly work.

Right, I have tested the mission briefings by Vtrelut in the DGen\MOD\Message folder and it didn't worked. So a manual renaming is necessary.
I have corrected my first answer to avoid misunderstandings.
-
That is easy enough. Thank you both. :)
-
A question, the new messages in the mod folder of the new dgen are meant to replace the origional messages in the dgen folder?
To do this they must be ru based because all modded games run the Russian version, however if using stock 4.11 just overwrite origional message files?

Anything it is not necessary to copy. The new generator will take the necessary messages from the DGen\MOD\Message catalog. For the correct operation of the new generator with the official version of game it is simple to establish it enough (to unpack archive).

thankyou and so far all is good, I am using 4.11 stock & BOE- The last Days & Ostfront with enjoys patch

Any news on the new dgen, Ive had multiple failures of campaigns so have reverted to old dgen exe & the latest DCG on another install

I prepare RC3 version 1.0.0.7 for release. Many mistakes and the program are corrected work quite stably. I hope next week to lay out updating. Quite probably that RC3 becomes the first high-grade version.

Thank you very much, sir. 8)

I understood the main idea. Unfortunately I simply won't have time for such work, all free time leaves on completion of the generator and on tests. But I am ready to consult on all questions concerning to creation of campaigns or creation of a selection of campaigns. Actually anything difficult in this case isn't present. The desire and time is just necessary. :)
-
As well as promised - the new version which most likely becomes release.
https://www.mediafire.com/?9m9fpnp499889tk (https://www.mediafire.com/?9m9fpnp499889tk)
By default the AllClasses.dat and AllPlanes.dat files for version 4.11.1. In the For UP3+DBW171 catalog files for version 4.10.1 + UP3 + DBW 1.71 lie. To copy files from the For UP3+DBW171 catalog in catalog \DGen\MOD enough. If you use dregy a set of spendthrifts the AllClasses.dat and AllPlanes.dat files it is necessary to edit manually.
Don't forget to remove the previous version of the generator. Successful flights! :)
Small fix, simply replace the file from archive.

Many thx Asura :)

got your PM
Sorry I was a bit complicated.
What I would like to have is one package where I get all the dgen campaigns ever created for this sim and it should be compatible with DBW.
Can you or somebody do such pack? (I dont have the skills to do it)
the stock dgen campaigns should work whatever your Il2 version is, but for the modded dgen campaigns it´s simply impossible to create such a pack - and more important to keep it up to date from mod pack to mod pack
-
Great work Asura & the Team :)
Just wanted to quickly test it. Started a new Dgen campaign (Boelcke's Kuban campaign). First it says "this campaign has already existed blabla...". Guess thats stock game. So i simply changed my starting rank - Major to Oberstleutnant. Now when I click "Generate" the button simply jumps "up" again, with no other reaction than the click noise (no Beep).
Same for other campaigns (stock).
So just wondering, are the existing campaigns actually usable for the DGen mod or do we have to wait for new ones :-\ ?
DBW 1.71 btw. And followed install instructions, moved the Allplanes.dat and Allclasses.dat in the DGen/MOD folder.
And the readme says the error log is called Dgen_modERROR.log. I only get DGenERROR.log and DGenERROR2.log. Is that correct ?
and they say :
DGenERROR.log

What I think is that this is still the error log from the old Dgen...right ?
all the best and thanks again for your work !
-
Just wanted to quickly test it. Started a new Dgen campaign (Boelcke's Kuban campaign). First it says "this campaign has already existed blabla...". Guess thats stock game. So i simply changed my starting rank - Major to Oberstleutnant. Now when I click "Generate" the button simply jumps "up" again, with no other reaction than the click noise (no Beep).
Same for other campaigns (stock).
Let's understand... Absence Dgen_modERROR.log speaks about that that errors of the new generator weren't. DGen_mod.log, Dgen_mod2.log or Dgen_mod3.log you have files?
-
@ Milantarik:
check for the Dgen_modERROR.log file, it´s the error file for the mod dgen.exe
-
Started Boelcke's Kuban campaign at itself without problems, the game 4.11.1 version
@ Milantarik:
You corrected the planesDe¤.dat file? Very probably on a situation when names of planes in files of campaign differ from names in game (air.ini)
-
I tested the Kuban campaign too and had no problems at missions start, but I noticed a strange setting of waypoints in some missions types. I will send a detailed bug report.
-
Please, establish this updating.

Thank you, so far no waypoint problems for me with the new DGen.exe file.
-
No, I dont have any DGen_Mod.log, nor DGen_modERROR.log. Will try with the patch.
-
A new version! Thank you! 8)
santobr.
-
Okay, used the new DGen.exe, and reinstalled the whole mod. The missions generate now !
Briefings are still in Russian, but i guess thats normal ?
Thanks ! :)
-

I can assume that the generator isn't started at all. Look for a problem in discrepancies of names of planes between game and campaign files.
-
Okay, used the new DGen.exe, and reinstalled the whole mod. The missions generate now !
Briefings are still in Russian, but i guess thats normal ?
Thanks ! :)
In catalog \DGen\MOD\Message rename all *En.dat files into *Ru.dat.
-
Its OK Asura, got it working :)
And reading the thread, found the solution for the briefing language too. Gonna rename the dat files now.
Thanks !
-
A couple questions:
Will this work with any version of the game? Just maybe with fewer features?
I have UP 2.01 and some stock versions like 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.101 4.11 and 4.1101. At least I think that's about right?
Will it work with the old IL2 Stab program?
And my final question is there a Readme or some place on the net I can go to get full descriptions of changes and any newer commands and such?? I just need a lot more information.
-
Please, what are allowed DGen option? I mean, from following list, that include all current options I know for stock DGen, which can be included in DGen_mod.ini and with what syntax? Thank you!

the new dgen.exe has work with all versions of IL2 and with all features of the official dgen.exe, if you encounter problems, please post it here

the new dgen.exe has work with all versions of IL2 and with all features of the official dgen.exe, if you encounter problems, please post it here
So then I assume it should work with the old IL2 Stab program then?
-
Hi all, I have just started for the third time the Boelke (an exceptional campaign maker) the campaign "Western Front". With this new Dgen release, that I have installed, as for the instructions, I should re-start the campaign. Before it, considering the opportunity to include new maps and planes in Dgen, I would like to ask to Boelke if he think to modify his campaigns accounting for this new possibility (my dream, I am Italian, is "Italian Falcons").
Thanks immensely for your work giving so much pleasure to we all.
-
I will answer here all questions. :)
1. The generator doesn't depend on the version of game and from the version of the established additions. It can be used with any combination of MODs and versions. For correct operation of the generator it is important to have the correct lists of planes in the AllClasses.dat and AllPlanes.dat files. Each user can adjust these lists itself as to it will take in head.
2. The current list of options in the file DGen_mod.ini and syntax completely correspond to the old generator. It is possible to copy simply lines from conf.ini (section [DGen]) and you receive the same settings which you had earlier.
3. High-grade documentation is now in a stage of preparation and will be added in program release. While it isn't present is ready to answer all interesting questions. :)

Hi all, I have just started for the third time the Boelke (an exceptional campaign maker) the campaign "Western Front". With this new Dgen release, that I have installed, as for the instructions, I should re-start the campaign. Before it, considering the opportunity to include new maps and planes in Dgen, I would like to ask to Boelke if he think to modify his campaigns accounting for this new possibility (my dream, I am Italian, is "Italian Falcons").
Thanks immensely for your work giving so much pleasure to we all.
i would like to convert some of my campaigns to new maps, but i doubt that i can do this on my own, it´s to much time consuming - i have to earn money like everyone here around, so my time is very sparse atm
please consinder that only my Westfront campaign was more than three months of realy hard work - and that means every free minute, even when i had worked ten or more hours a day, i worked some more hours at the evening and on every weekend on this campaign, that is something i won´t do again
only to make a new map usable for the the new dgen is work for weeks, then you have to populate the map with objects and targets and after that all you can start with campaign building - if someone volunteers to do the first two steps for canons BoB map and the Westfront map ... well that would be a point to join in for me

Hi Asura. I ve been playing around creating a new dgen campaign on the Bessarabia map for USSR. Missions are generated fine, but from the dgen log, I see that the EnemyNation parameter could not be set for this map. In every mission, all the enemy planes immediately related to the mission target are Blenheims and Sarvanto-Fokkers. Other planes flying around are the normal German planes that I expect. I guess that this parameter is hard coded into the executable, but still is there a simple way to fix it with the current dgen mod version?

New maps and new campaigns it is very good! :)
For new maps which wasn't in the generator I earlier made the file of settings - settingsNnX.dat. I give as an example files from Juri_JS campaign.

Contents of the settings file:
Pacific=True - what branch possesses campaign (while I should keep this division)
UseParkedPlanes=True - are used or not in campaign ParkedPlanes
UseSearchligh=False - to establish automatically or not fires round airfields

Same problem for me. There must be something wrong in the Coral Sea sub-campaign. The error happens in all campaigns that use the Coral Sea map.

Send please the log files. At me it is impossible to repeat a mistake.

The program takes off when reading files of templates. At me the mistake isn't reproduced. Send me campaign files, matter in them is possible.

I think the Coral Sea files that I and many others are using are not the stock DGen files, but the ones that came with Nimitz TruePacific DGen campaigns, that reworked most of the Pacific campaign files. These files were also included in the Enjoyr Patch. Maybe that is the reason why you can't reproduce the problem with your Coral Sea files.

Yes, that caused the error. I have corrected the files. The fixed Coral Sea files can be downloaded here:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/Skins/Juri_JS/CoralSeaFix.zip
Given the fact that so many people are using the Enjoyr patch that has the faulty Coral Sea files, it might be a good idea to add the corrected files to the next DGen release.

I and will make.

It's the same error for me, even with the Juri's files:
Exception EAccessViolation in module DGen.exe at 000BCD87.
Access violation at address 004BCD87 in module DGen.exe. Read of address 00000085.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. :-\

Change in the file DGen_mod.ini the LogLevel=0 parameter and send me files DGen_mod.log and DGen_mod_proc.log right after mistake emergence. Let's understand.

Odd task in AllPlanes.dat (two items found, only for I_153_M62 and I_153P):
aHeavyt
I think "t" is a typo...
Thanks and keep up the good work,
GB
-
Also, I believe there's a missing "t" in weapon load of A5M4 as Reconplane (1xd instead of 1xdt)
Cheers,
GB

First of all, thank you Asura very much for the new DGen. I hope you will show us how to include other maps, like the MTO and Bessarabia - unless you are planning to do it yourself?
-
In AllClasses.dat are missing the two Ki-45 (Hei and Tei).

Thanks for the found mistakes. Corrected.
AllClasses.dat it is intended only for planes which the player can operate. To place there Ki-45 still early. :)

I yet don't plan to add new maps - there is no time. If you a little wait, soon I will finish the instruction of the user in which everything will be in detail told.
-
Asura,
I would suggest to check AllPlanes.dat for left over "t". I found still a couple (CargoAt and Transportt). Dunno if they can harm.
S!

Thank you very much! Checked and corrected.

I'm trying to figure out how to make hydroplanes show more often in DGen campaigns. I know that, for example, the A6M2N can play different roles:
Axis Japan Reconplane A6M2N 350 3500 3500 default 1
Axis Japan Hydroplane A6M2N 350 3500 3500 default 1
Axis Japan HyRecon A6M2N 300 1000 1000 default 1
Axis Japan HyFighter A6M2N 300 1000 1000 default 1
what are correct symbols for these roles in the ops file? Reconplane is R, like in:
oUsReconIntercept 10622:50814:A USN 2Y IJN 1R
HyRecon is Hr (?), and what about the HyFighter - Hf ??
-
HyRecon is Hr (?), and what about the HyFighter - Hf ??
Hydroplane - Not used
HyFighter - Not used
Reconplane - R
HyRecon - Hr
-
Thank you Asura, that explains a lot.
I have another question - what are the limits as regards the number of planes in one mission, if any?
Can I have, for example, a line like this:
oUsDefendPort 10622:50814:A USN 4Y 24F 12F IJN 36dB 33F
or:
oUsDefendHQ 10622:50814:A USN 8Y 2F 8F 4F IJN 12F 9dB 12F 9dB
I'm trying to generate some really big formations but no luck so far - I always get 9 or 12 bombers and the same number of fighters.
-
39 planes probably only for heavy bombers, the hB parameter. For other at most 12 planes.
-
Could you possibly modify this feature to allow bigger groups than 12 planes? I guess most of us by now have computers which can handle bigger, more historically correct formations. Just an idea...
-
If I wish to add lets say the HS 129 to dgen campaigns as flyable do I add the plane to the plane data file only? or must I also place it in classes file as well? The same goes for all new planes in 4.11

Probably. I will look that with it it is possible to make. That it game understood the main thing.

Wait, please, a little. :) The instruction will be ready soon, there everything is in detail specified.

Last night I turned SBD5 into a 'heavy bomber' by adding this line:
Allies USA HBomber SBD5 310 3500 3500 1x1600 1
then included 39hB parameter in the ops file and - voila! - DGen generated a beautiful, staggered formation of 39 SBD 5's. What a sight! :) They still bombed their target (a bunch of tanks) as dive bombers, not level bombers, as I had feared.
If only we could have such large formations of fighters... For example, a sweep of 40+ Zeros heading down the Slot towards Guadalcanal.
-
;D I will think of it when I will solve the main problems.

Great, I look forward to reading it
-
sounds good Asura, many thx for doing it :)

I haven't tried it in European campaigns, but in Pacific campaigns 12B and 12dB works.
-
ok for ETO campaigns that's the fact in the stock dgen.exe
-
Do you have a list with the bug fixes and changes in the new version?
Corrections generally concerned briefings and small corrections which I didn't fix. :)
-
It's an old problem and maybe it could be fixed in the new DGen - the system doesn't generate missions related to sea convoys. Recently I've been flying several campaigns in the Solomons, dozens of missions for both sides, and not even once got to patrol, bomb, recon, defend or attack a convoy. However, when I removed all other types of missions from the ops file and left only those related to sea convoys, the sys generated them without a problem. Is there a possible fix for this?
Also, I wish that for PTO scenarios the system generated moving ships (not stationary) which are not directly related to a given mission, like in the ETO scenarios. As it is now, a ship which is not part of a mission, will not show up.
-
Choice procedure such as mission will be considerably reconsidered soon. I hope it will correct many strangenesses.
-
Thank you Asura, I greatly appreciate your work!
By the way, would it be possible to give bombers (and fighter-bombers) some secondary targets to attack, after the primary target is destroyed? Now they often return loaded with bombs, passing by juicy targets.
For example, allied planes, after hitting some target in Kahili area, usually pass right over Ballale airfield, where they could drop the unused ordnance.
-
Such improvements I plan to do later, now in the plan further association of the Pacific Ocean and Europe. Very difficult that that to add, when missions are formed on a miscellaneous.
-
I'm very thankfull for your great work, Asura. 8)
It's working in HSFX, and I'm flying the stock Coral Sea campaign.
I had no problems until now.
A suggestion for a future version, maybe the front line at Europe could be less linear and with sieges for medium to big cities.
Maybe not a real siege, but just the advancing army leaving back the cities that are fighting yet behind the front lines as it happened in WWII.
They will keep fighting, but the cities had more resistence than the open ground.
But don't worry about this now. ;)
Thank you very much, sir. :)

It was always possible in DGen for campaign builders to create sieges of cities, that's no big problem. Bastogne in the Ardennes campaign is an example.
I don't know the historical frontline movement on the Russian front well enough, so I can't say if there should be more such siege situations. If they are missing it is the campaign builders fault, not DGen's.
-
There was a lot of siege situations, not because they planned them, but simply because the open ground is easier to advance than cities. ;)

For high-quality operation of the generator very important existence of completely worked campaign with enough of land objects and key points. All operation of the generator depends on them. I decided on the following completion - I completely will process algorithm of search and selection is more whole, if my theoretical conclusions are true this completion should to increase a variety of missions substantially. The promised release waits for completion of transfer of all instructions on English as soon as they will be ready at once I will lay out.
-
Some more ideas for future development:
1) I wish the new DGen generated takeoffs in pairs and in fours, wherever possible; this feature has been enabled in FMB recently.
2) Just for the historic accuracy, I wish DGen recognized some more units (in the [OOB] section of DB files), especially: II. and III./JG 26, IV./JG 51, II. and III./JG 300, SchG and SG units (for now there are only SG 3 and 4), some bomber units like KG 54 and KG 77, also more French units (now there’s only Normandie-Niemen), Italian units (now there’s only 356 Squadriglia).

Before installation read the file !Read First.pdf
All instructions on installation in DGen_UserManual_En.pdf
The following considerable updating of the generator will be after completion of work on complete association of branches Pasifik and FB, work is already begun, deadlines aren't defined yet. As a bonus after association aircraft carriers and seaplanes in Atlantic, search of submarines in the Baltic Sea will be possible more than one departure in day in Europe.

Many thanks Asura.

Asura and the rest of the DGen MOD team!
It is a big milestone for our hobby! :)
Cheers men!

Thank you Asura for the new DGen, so far everything works as it should.
It is possible to do it already now.
You meant I can add a unit to the AllWing file, it didn't occur to me. Anyway, it works! :) Now I can add, for example, IV./JG 51 to 'squadronsDe5' file and fly with IV./JG 51 in Drang Nach Osten campaign.
-
Hello people :) While I'm not new to il-2, I am new to modding and have been wondering wether I installed the DGen mod correctly, since all of the missions I've been given in pilot careers seem identical to the default ones. How can I tell?
-
Adding a new map was easier than I thought, and I'm already enjoying various campaigns of my own making on the MTO map :)
I have one big request - every airstrip has a set of lights and searchlights automatically loaded on both ends. The lights are shining brightly for no reason in midday and spoil immersion. Is it possible to remove them?
Another thing - I have added quite a few historic units to the AllWing file, and most of them work without problems, but some are rejected by the system (for example II./SKG 210 or II./JG 26). The worst case is Italian squadrons, for example 96squadriglia and 97squadriglia - they are recognized as 'red' units, not 'blue', which results in a fiery explosion on the runway the moment the mission is loaded. Could this be fixed somehow?

For campaign it is possible to create the file settings[Nn][X].dat, for example settingsJaE.dat. In this file there are three obligatory parameters:
Pacific=True - On what branch works campaigns
UseParkedPlanes=True - The binding of airfields is used
UseSearchligh=False - That that is necessary for you - fires aren't formed automatically. Only if they are added in templates of the land purposes of campaign.
Another thing - I have added quite a few historic units to the AllWing file, and most of them work without problems, but some are rejected by the system (for example II./SKG 210 or II./JG 26).
What mistake stands out in log the file? It is necessary to check coincidence of the name to FMB.

Red or Blue side of squadrons is defined by game, the generator doesn't participate in it, it simply inserts the name. Explosions probably arise from for mistakes in fighting loading of one of mission planes. Try to remove gradually in problem mission links of planes from the *.mis file. When explosions will disappear - means you removed problem lines - it is necessary to check that in them not so.

Adding a new map was easier than I thought, and I'm already enjoying various campaigns of my own making on the MTO map :)
if you have added a new map, how about sharing it, means sending the files to Asura to incorporate it into the next version of his dgen.exe?
-
Thank you Asura for the info. I'll try it out and report back :)
if you have added a new map, how about sharing it, means sending the files to Asura to incorporate it into the next version of his dgen.exe?
I'm still experimenting with it. Unfortunately, the MTO map is nameless (no names on the map itself) and semi-historic/realistic (some key locations are not there, some are pure fantasy, like this little island with an airstrip in the middle of the sea), so I keep researching and adding new locations to match the frontline movement. The great thing about Asura's DGen is that one can exclude towns and airfields from the map. For example, I intentionally left out Crete and Greek coast to prevent, for example, fighters stationed in Tobruk from flying missions over Greece.
-
A small hint:
When adding a new map don't forget to include enough sea locations for anti-ship missions.
-
A small hint:
When adding a new map don't forget to include enough sea locations for anti-ship missions.
Ah, never thought of that, thank you. Like in, for example: '4973;316645;-1;Solomon_Sea1' ? Do the sea locations always have '-1' value?
By the way, does ‘Hr’ parameter (hydrorecon) work for European scenarios (MTO map)?
-
Sea locations in PTO campaigns use the "-1" value. I don't know if this will also work in European campaigns, if not use "1".
I think at the moment "Hr" only works in PTO. In my Norway campaign I have used "R" for seaplanes.
-
The '-1' value seems to work fine. The first mission I got was Beaufighters vs. German torpedo boats. As a sideshow, I had Italian Stukas dive-bombing ships in Tobruk harbour. What a treat!
I also manged to get rid of the damn airfield lights. As advised by Asura, I created a settings file with the following contents:
Pacific=False
UseParkedPlanes=False
UseSearchligh=False
I got an error message that 'enemy nation' was expected, so I added:
[EnemyNation]
MTO41 England;Australia
and so far everything works fine. I hope I'm not boring everybody with my revelations? :)
-
[EnemyNation] While there can be only one option
MTO41 England
or
MTO41 Australia
After completion of works on association I will expand this control
-
The association of branches you're working on is a great idea. I always wanted to fly more than one mission per day in the ETO scenarios. Sometimes, like in the early Barbarossa days, they flew 4-5 sorties daily.
Meanwhile, I encountered two problems. I’m working on a North Africa campaign (MTO map), which starts in mid-November 1941 (operation ‘Crusader’). The problem is that at 05:00 AM and even at 05:30 AM it’s still too dark to fly, and I have to skip such missions. Could we have an option to manually set the ‘flying hours’?
Another issue:
I always get to fly against only one type of enemy fighter, and it’s always the first from the *planes DAT file of the campaign, even though several types are listed. I thought the system would choose from the list at random. What am I doing wrong?

It exactly will be realized. But it is necessary to wait - association quickly won't manage to be made. Roughly closer to autumn.

In plans there is a point concerning control of time of day in the generator - it will be possible to operate the beginning and the termination of night, a decline and a dawn.

The main choice of planes for mission goes in a random way from section [Planes] of the corresponding *.DB file. Then as a task the configuration gets out of the *planes DAT file. Values are in documentation, the section about the AllPlanes.dat file. For the plane of the player the configuration steals up on aSoft values,
aShip, aTank, aHeavy. If for mission the specialist the type isn't necessary - the first line with plane from *planes DAT undertakes
-
Thank you Asura, you're really giving a new life to the DGen and the IL-2 series as a whole.
By the way, could we have SAAF (South Africans) added to the list of air forces? They played important part in MTO campaigns. Or is it something Daidalos Team has to implement first into the game?
-

Yes, for a start it is necessary to have this nation and the corresponding squadrons in game. There are still options as it to bypass, but they touch only MOD of versions of game at the moment. In any case now the player can't choose the new nation, except what exist in the list of the interface of dynamic campaigns.

Hi Asura
A little question: It is possible to set the cruise speed and hight in the DGen mod ini.? Like in DCG!
I ask this cause the engine management in 4.11(with HSFX) has a much more deeper impact then in 4.10.
It is nearly impossible to stay in formation with my group,then the cruise speed is set to default and I must take care of my oil & coolant temprature.
Thanks in advance. Semor
-
A little question: It is possible to set the cruise speed and hight in the DGen mod ini?
Not sure if I get you right but you can set these values in *planes DAT file of each campaign (or in ALLPlanes DAT file), for example, in the following line:
Allies England Fighter HurricaneMkIIb 350 3000 3000 default 1
The '300' is the cruise speed and the '3000' is the altitude.
-
Yes,Thanks Lagarto,I already know that. The problem is;I use the full Enjoyr patch for my DGen campaigns
and as you maybe know,these are 225!! campaigns merged alltogether,so it`s very hard to find the right planes DAT file of each campaign (or in ALLPlanes DAT file).
I hope for a generic solution like the entrys in the Mod ini.
Regards.

Asura, I've been adding some units to the AllWing list and testing others. I can't make work any other Italian fighter squadrons except for the stock 356squadriglia. When added to the squadrons* DAT file of any campaign, they don't even show up as a valid choice. :(

Notwithstanding I have a line in Planes.dat, specific of subcampaign I'm playing, with "FighterLR" as type, also for long range missions (more than 70 Km) DGen refuses to add drop tanks. As a consequence, I run often out of fuel. Of course, drop tanks ARE an available payload in weapons_ru.properties and I put them in above mentioned line of Planes.dat. I'm using DGen_MOD 1.0.1.0.
Some help?
-
I think I know what's wrong with Italian fighter units. The names are case-sensitive. In the AllWing file there are, among others, '96squadriglia' and '97squadriglia'. This is wrong. After I changed to 96Squadriglia and 97Squadriglia, they worked as they should.
-

@Semor: The stock dgen.exe used the values from the Europlanes.dat or Pacificplanes.dat, if there wasn´t an Europlanes.dat or Pacificplanes.dat it uses the values which are hardcoded. Starshoy later created the individual xxxxxPlanes.dat files for each campaign, to override the Europlanes.dat or Pacificplanes.dat, so that each campaign can be tuned for it´s purpose.
So, a generic solution with the new dgen.exe would scrap some of the campaigns - at least all of mine.
-
@greybeard: You can always force DGen to fit you with drop tank(s) every time by adding it to the regular 'Fighter' type. This is what I did when I played a Seafire campaign over Japan.
-

Thanks for your tip. Unfortunately, long range patrols alternate with short range missions and scrambles. Especially during the latter, dropping tanks as soon as possible after take off, to not hamper speed gain and climb, would add a further complication to a kind of mission already enough frantic. I would set the "right" solution, if it exist.
In the meantime, I found out that removing 50 km distance setting from INI file, I quite often get auxiliary tanks, but still they miss sometimes.
-
It happened to me three times: as soon as I clicked on "Apply" on debriefing screen after having quit a mission where I was wounded, hard-disk started to be read for minutes and then a Windows error message appeared, forcing me to close program. It seems that DGen_MOD can't manage time (and missions) skipping for a wounded (hospitalized) pilot in a career.
Asura, please give a look!
Thanks,
GB
-
Eventually, I found out that setting MissionDistance=75 gives always drop tanks to fit long range missions, when one of this latter kind is generated. I guess any value higher than 70 (the long range mission threshold) should work. Missions generated are of any distance, though, not only above the 75 km range.
Hope this may help someone.

Hi!
As soon as I installed DGen_MOD, it attempted to generate Kamikaze escort missions in subcampaigns NewGuineaLeyte and Japan1. But something didn't work and I was always getting "beeps" and error messages (DGen_modERROR). This latter reads "Error in Select_PF_Target". I was forced to remove all "Kamikaze" roles from Planes.dat and all "Kamikaze" operations from ops files to get rid of this.
OTOH, I can't recall to have ever escorted or seen at all any Kamikaze also in stock game, just those lines seem ignored with Starshoy's DGen, whilst Asura's one TRIES to assemble that kind of missions, but with no success, at least in my install.
What do you think about?
Thanks,

It is very difficult question - to make uniform settings for all planes. Operating modes of engines at all different. I would suggest to try not to use the local *planes.dat files (to clean them from the DGen catalog) and to look as the AllPlanes.dat file flight Parameters there will work are optimized under version 4.11 and all planes is.

Now mission is considered long range if distance to the purpose exceeds 70 km. In this case drop tanks are automatically added. Unfortunately while in the generator there are no data on the actual range of flight of each plane. By the way, where these data could be learned? I could add this information and ranges of flight to count individually for each plane.

Hi Asura, glad to see you back :)
The association of branches will be a big step forward. For example, it would be great to have ‘Hr’ parameter (hydrorecon) available for European scenarios (esp. MTO/Italy map or Crimea). Presently there’s little use for Ar 196 or Cant Z.506 (they’re too vulnerable as regular reconnaissance planes).
By the way, I wish the ‘HyFighter’ parameter worked, because when A6M2-N is assigned ‘F’ parameter, it will try to take off from land.

Send me, please, files of this campaign.
In my Home Defence campaign Kamikaze missions work without problem, as long as the correct ops file entries are used. Working entries are 1K, 2K, 3K and 4K. Higher numbers like 6K or 8K will not work. If more Kamikaze flights are needed in a mission it is possible to have more than one in an ops file line, for example "4K 2K 3Y".
All this is nothing new, it is a limitation of the old DGen by Starshoy.

A few words about the "Hr" entry to avoid misunderstandings. Hr doesn't mean hydro-recon, instead it is similar to the "Br" entry. Hr is only really usefull for scramble missions, because it will create hydroplanes that start in the air at medium distance from the airfield, like the Br entry for bombers in scramble missions.
What is needed are working HyFighter, HyRecon and maybe also HyBomber parameters that are similar to the Fighter, Reconplane and LBomber parameters of land-based planes, with the only exception that starts and landings have to be from the water.

Another curious issue in that same campaign linked in my previous message: when I play it with stock DGen, its "Leyte invasion" subcampaign picks different missions and correct planes, when played with DGen_MOD it plays always same mission with wrong planes for Allies (Hurricane). It's curious also because Hurricane is NOT listed in DB file.

Well, I will look in what a problem.

Hi Asura, this is great work you are doing 8)
One question, is there an easy way of getting an 'allclasses' and 'allplanes' dat files for HSFX6, or will they have to be altered by hand?

Is there a way to make the Devastator take part of attacking missions at Coral Sea?
santobr.

One question, is there an easy way of getting an 'allclasses' and 'allplanes' dat files for HSFX6, or will they have to be altered by hand?
Alas, it can be done only manually. To take Air.ini and to correct the allplanes and allclasses files.
-

Certainly, it is enough of it to register in all files of campaign and the generator.

Hi Asura,
Lagarto and myself are teaming together to create a campaign with the MTO map for your dgen.exe. I have played around with Lagartos files to check them. Problem is that dgen is always choosing the same planes in every mission. It seems that the probability numbers from the database files are ignored by it. It mostly choosed the first plane from the plane.dat files which has the demanded role.

It mostly choosed the first plane from the plane.dat files which has the demanded role.
Such situation arises when the generator doesn't find the necessary plane in the Allplanes file or in the local *planes file. For new campaigns in the settings*.dat file it is necessary to specify [EnemyNation] for each sub campaign. Plane search in the planes files is carried out on three parameters - the name, the country, type. If search successful - gets out the necessary plane, if not successful - the first of the list with the necessary nationality and type.
-
Gents, it's my fault, sorry :-[ In the settings*.dat file to our campaigns I specified not one [EnemyNation] but two. Asura mentioned before in this thread that it's wrong but I just forgot to fix it. This wrong setting of mine didn't cause any errors or crashes but the line with two nations must have been simply ignored. Now, when I left only one nation, the randomization of fighters works as it should!
Still, this is fine, more or less, for Italian and German campaigns, when England can be the only [EnemyNation]. The problem persists with RAF campaigns, because there are two enemy nations: Germany and Italy. So the player can fight either against the Luftwaffe or Reggia Aeronautica, not a mix of them.
-
ok thx for clarfication guys :)
-
About my mentioned problems with "Asia for the Asians Revisited for MOD" in its penultimate subcampaign, after having read of settings*.dat in this thread, I added a specific one (which follows), but nothing changed: DGen_mod picks always same mission with the wrong planes. Curiously, also a couple further hiccups show in this subcampaign: specified skin in DB file are taken randomly, as well as randomly are loaded drop tanks for missions longer than 70 km.
Pacific=True
UseParkedPlanes=False
UseSearchligh=True
[EnemyNation]
BurmaC England
Singapore2 Australia
Burma42 England
Singapore43 England
BurmaD1 England
BurmaD2 England
BurmaD3 England
NewGuineaLeyte USA
Japan1 USA
BTW, would be nice to have syntax of settings*.dat also in DGen User Manual and UseSearchligh would need a final ts.
Thanks for your help,

Only if critical mistakes are found, or the special version for founders of campaigns is required. :) All further development isn't meaningful without uniform structure of the program.
-
We only need that two [EnemyNation] fix for our MTO campaigns :)
Ideally, there would be no limit of 'enemy nations', to allow England, Australia, France, and (in the future, hopefully) South Africa in the same campaign on the 'red' side.

Don´t want to stress this aspect anymore, but it´s also vital for all ETO campaigns, as there are at least USAAF and RAF as opponents for Luftwaffe campaigns, in early war scenarios other nations like France, Belgium and Netherlans also.
-
In my Solomons campaigns I have both US and RNZAF aircraft in the same missions when flying as Japanese. If there really is a problem it is obviously just an issue of the European part of DGen.
-
It looks there are three level of this issue:
1).Those that haven't it at all (Juri)
2).Those that have it with two nations (Lagarto)
3). Those who have it already with only one nation (me).
Odd.

Looks like the problem with settings.dat file is not only limited to 'enemy nation'. I've played a string of missions in a German campaign and I haven't seen a single Italian plane, even though the DB and planes.dat files are full of them. Perhaps there should be another parameter, something like [FriendlyNation]?
-
I will tell honest - in the current version of the generator I solved the question "EnemyNation" on the simple. That as that worked. But yesterday the decision which will allow to solve this problem literally dreamed me :) - possibility in the DB file in section [Planes] will set the necessary nation. For example:
[Planes]
20 C_47 Allies USA
2 C_47 Axis Japan
18 B_17G Allies USA
8 B_17G Allies England
I think it will solve all problems and will allow to receive in missions planes of all necessary nations without restrictions. In the course of association of branches I will change at once algorithm of selection of planes in mission.
I will try to make the instruction on the settings.dat file this week.
-
I think should be firstly understood how it works current bond between map and planes. Already current setting of [EnemyNation] seems ignored by game and it keeps taking aircrafts according to map that are missing from DB file and not belonging to specified [EnemyNation]. I mean that if this hardcoded bond isn't mastered, also your proposal to "single" by plane [EnemyNation] could fail.

Sounds like a great idea. Thank you for your constant work on improvements, it's really appreciated.
-
While early to tell "thanks", yet didn't deserve. :) Here I will make association... By the way, in the new concept, after association there will be no Us-Jp or Ru-De division (it touches first of all ops files). There will be universal Red-Blue values. It will be theoretically possible to appoint the blue or red party any country.

I will look at your campaign on Monday (on July 23) and at once I will tell what not so.

I was waiting for you solving "at once" all my problems... What happened?

I was waiting for you solving "at once" all my problems... What happened?
Tried to understand... :)
Apropos "Leyte invasion" - the matter is that initially this map intended only for opposition Japan-Australia. I now in stock DGen received Hurricane with signs of Great Britain. This problem I will solve within a problem of "EnemyNation".
Still it is necessary to correct contents of the NewGuineaLeytePlanes.dat file - its lines should correspond to planes from section [Planes] of the NewGuineaLeyte.DB file. If in settings*.dat it is specified
[EnemyNation]
NewGuineaLeyte USA
All lines NewGuineaLeytePlanes.dat should contain "Allies USA". Now in this file there is "Allies England Fighter HurricaneMkIIc" - here it and appears in missions. The generator works on direct dependence. If EnemyNation = USA and from section [Planes] was selected the plane with the name P_38L, in the NewGuineaLeytePlanes.dat file surely there should be a line "Allies USA Fighter P_38L".
If compliance isn't found, in log the file there will be an error of "Pacific special not found" and the generator will pick up the first suitable plane from NewGuineaLeytePlanes.dat

It is a great improvement to have an updated Dgen, finally; Kudos to Asura;D.
I have a question for those that would be using this version over the enjoyr´s campaigns pack. Do you find any trouble generating the Enjoyr´s campaigns for afrika with the luftwaffe (as an example)? For me, it crashes, somethink that I found plausible given the fact that the enjoyr´s pack comes with its own version of the Dgen.exe , but after reading the entire thread it seems that some of you are using this same combo with success.... I´m trying the basic Enjoyr´s pack for non modded games, and then this new Dgen (last version available here).
I have to tell also that I´m using this combo in a new HSFX6 version, and that it seems to work well in HSFX6 when it is installed without the enjoyr´s pack....
-
I have a question for those that would be using this version over the enjoyr´s campaigns pack.
Let's look specifically that doesn't work. Write in more detail in what place and in what campaign there is a problem, send me files of this campaign and files DGen_mod*.log.
-
Apropos "Leyte invasion" - the matter is that initially this map intended only for opposition Japan-Australia.
I'm glad that you realized what I mentioned in my previous message: that there is a liaison between map and nations (honestly, I did say map-planes, but you correctly focused on map-nations).
Next key point is IMHO that stock DGen bypasses this liaison, building missions in that map also with USA planes (plus the two "sticky" british Hurricanes), while DGen_MOD gets fixated with Australia and, finding no suited planes, always picks first of the list (and always same mission). This does not change, no matter what [EnemyNation] is set in settings.dat. I believe that if you do not break this DGen_MOD "fixation" for map-nations liaison, the problem will be not solved neither with settings.dat nor with planes.dat.

Concerning my own campaigns in the Enjoyr patch - my Norway campaigns and the Kiev update for the stock campaigns should work in the new DGen. There is a problem with one of the Okinawa sub-campaigns in my Home Defence campaign when Asura's DGen is used, that's why I uploaded a new campaign version for the new DGen, it can be found here:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/download.php?view.99
I have also started working on an update for the Norway campaigns to include some of the nice new features Asura has added to DGen.
-
the problem will be not solved neither with settings.dat nor with planes.dat.
In stock DGen there were two PacificPlanes.dat and EuroPlanes.dat files is allowed to divide planes on theaters of operations. I initially prepared the generator for association of branches and the list of planes made uniform, but there were problems with selection of planes in mission - just map-nation communication. At the moment of release of version 1.0.1.0 there was no other possibility to correct this situation and I rigidly adhered map to the nation. It solved a problem and stock version of campaigns started to work correctly. But this decision led to that author's campaigns started to behave in a queer way. I am sorry. :(
Now I have a decision which will correctly work at the incorporated version of the generator and will allow to receive in mission all necessary nations in the correct combination. I think that [EnemyNation] was makeshift and in future campaigns it is not required. Will probably change and still some things. I hope authors of campaigns will understand me correctly and won't abuse for that that it is necessary that that to complete - to alter. :) I yet didn't finish work on the base version of the generator from which development and updating will go. Now the active stage of finishing of the generator to modern level and removal of old restrictions still proceeds. Version 1.0.1.0 simply repeated stock DGen with some new possibilities, version 2 should unite all possibilities of two branches, and here already from it development will go.

Hi Asura. :)
What is that section inside CoralSea.db called [Links]?
This section only appears in CoralSea.db and it looks like the DGen simply ignores it, maybe not.
It looks like we can make decisions based on the last mission results, could we?
If so, could you explain how it works, please?
The opsCoralSea.dat is very different too, I think it is related to the [Links] section.
Thank you very much, sir. 8)

Thanks a lot for your help, guys..
Asura, the truth is that I have to test which campaigns don´t work, because up to now I have made an attempt only, an seeing that the utility crashed, I had inferred that the Enjoyr collection was not compatible....In behalf of your kind offer, give me a little time in order to test each one of the campaigns and collect to you a complete report in order to make your task over this issue as short as possible.
-
santobr
opsCoralSea.dat standard for Pacific, and the section [Links] in the DB file is responsible for the connected missions. For example there was oUsReconCarrier mission if it is successful following there will be oUsAttackCarrier if oUsReconIntercept isn't successful. The code in the generator is realized and it seems should work. In detail I didn't check it.

Hello
Enjoying my Normandie Niemen KurlandNov44 then dec44 campaigns and noticed the following things :
- random aircraft may be US or British, I even have a Miles Magister !!!
- One misison failed.
- When changiong from Nov44 to Dec44 campaign, I am not anymore the leader, but leader of the second sveno, though my leader ids of lower rank.
I send you my campaign by mail

@Asura:
Is your programm compatible with Win7 64bit? I installed the full version onto 4.11.1 stock version, but it won't start - it gives me an application crash with error report pointing towards 'kernel.dll'.
Better wanted to ask if it even should work on 64bit before I look for the reason of the problem.
-
I am also using it with Win7 64bit in stock 4.11.1 and have no problems.
-
Thanks, so it must be something on my machine. Anything special as requirement? Java? MS Net Framework etc.?
-
I send you my campaign by mail
I will surely look, only soon it won't turn out - I copy the main parts of the generator for further development. The problem with the nations should will decide in the course of this work. A question with leaders I will assort...

The generator doesn't demand any additional programs. This usual console Windows application. At my place works at Win 7 64. Problems only met antiviruses - they defined the new generator as possible threat from for the hidden working window.

I am not in a hurry, I just want to contribute to the improvement of this excellent tool.
For the nations, may I suggest that you define the "random flight" from info in the db file, excluding the player's unit ?

a good idea, the random flights are always a problem - perhaps it´s a way to controll it, if it´s possible to realize for Asura
-

Of course, only asura know the code, so only him can tell how difficult it is.
-
Not completely understood idea. In general the plane of the player, his group, the nation and all the rest doesn't depend on DB file data. The section [Planes] is necessary only for formation of groups of the opponent and "random flight". Write in more detail about idea. :)
-
Dgen is creating random flights, problem is that on ETO maps the random flights are always USAAF for the allies and german for the axis. So, you sometimes have for example Hurricanes or Spitfires with US markings (or other planes). On desert maps you will have Fiat´s with Luftwaffe markings and so on. It´s a great immersion killer.
-
I noticed another strange thing working on templates for some campaigns - when placing static aircraft at airfields, I give Italian aircraft Italian markings, and Romanian aircraft Romanian markings, but in the game they all display German markings.
One more thing:
How to make flights from different units participating in a given mission take off from different airfields? It would look much more natural if the system could disperse them on nearby airstrips, and not queue them up in a long line on the same airfield.
I remember that in Juri’s Solomons campaigns, fighters scrambling from Russell Islands were simultaneously taking off from two airfields, so under some conditions it is possible.

I have tested random flights in my Norway campaigns and I didn't have any problems, but I remember I once had this random flight issue some years ago in the old DGen. I don't know how it works in the new DGen, but in the old one, there always needed to be planes in the db file, that had the B/Bomber, F/Fighter, R/Reconnaissance and T/Transport roles, or random flights wouldn't work correctly (can't remember if A/Attack and fB/FBomber was also needed). If DGen wasn't able to find a plane for these roles in the db file it sometimes selected one not in the db file and with a wrong nationality.

I have the same problem with RNZAF planes in my Solomons campaigns.

This is what I suggest :
To define a random flight, take a plane with a nation and unit which is defined in the campaign which is currently played.
So that you are sure that on the Eastern front or before 1942 : no US plane.
If a random plane is an Italian plane, it will have Italian markings .
...
Note that the unit should not be the player unit.

Hello
Enjoying my Normandie Niemen KurlandNov44 then dec44 campaigns and noticed the following things :
- random aircraft may be US or British, I even have a Miles Magister !!!
Confirmed, happens everytime the French Normandie-Niemen unit is used and not only on the Kurland map. When flying the same sub-campaign as Russian pilot everything is ok.
I also noticed, that I can't fly the Polish DGen campaigns on the Berlin map, because the Polish aircraft are missing in the AllPlanes file.
EDIT:
I have added the Polish aircraft in the AllPlanes file and noticed the same problems with random flights in the Polish campaign as in the Normandie-Niemen campaign.
I guess there is something wrong with non Russian units flying for the Soviet Air Force, because random flights work correct, when I fly as Russian pilot.
-
I gave up using 'random flights' altogether, they're just a headache.
-
Thanks a lot for your help, guys..

Sorry, guys; I quit.;D.
The Enjoyr mission packs were composed so much time ago, or with such an propietary Dgen version, that most of the campaigns fail to initiate; Here, some route for some squadron is the cause; there, somethink in the map , even a stock one, doesn´t fit.... It would be needed to review almost the entire pack to have it working, and I agree that such a task is not paying any reward, since one wanting to use the Enjoyr´s packs only has to use its attached Dgen version. With the help of JSGME this is a most easy task.
I guess is much better to take this new Dgen edition as a sort of "new dawn" for new campaigns making good use of the new maps and features, and leave those preceeding works as they were done on its time....Sorry.
-
Concerning the random flights, i had US Hurricanes on the northern africa map, altough there aren´t US squadrons in the DB file, so i can confirm that it´s the same situation like with the stock dgen.exe.
-
I will confirm once again - version 1.0.1.0 has problems with definition of a national identity of casual planes. It was made on the stock code of the generator and adapted only for stock of campaigns. In new campaigns with it there are problems as the old algorithm wasn't adjusted on free use of combinations the NATION - PLANE.
But, I already have a decision which 100 % will correct a situation. The decision universal also won't be any restrictions on the nations and planes. It is necessary to wait only the following version. ;)
-
No, really, ...I came to the conclusion that the best way to take advantage of your new development is to use it as a basis for new campaigns using all the new maps, planes, that it will allow us to employ.
Legacy campaign sets, that involve only the components available on its time (stock), would only deserve your valuable time if you could fix them with ease. It´s not the case; I think now that anyone revisiting legacy material would have to spend an amount of time that does not pay the effort, and would divert you from the relevant task: The upgrading of the new Dgen itself.

One of the reasons why some of the old campaigns don't start in the new DGen is, that the new version is less tolerant to mistakes in the campaign files than the old Dgen. It is sometimes just a minor mistake in a single file that is causing these incompatibility issues. If they are found, a corrected version of the campaign file can be added to the next release of Asura's DGen, this was already done for a mistake in the Coral Sea subcampaigns.
Let's use the problem with the Africa campaigns you had reported as an example. I have taken a look at the files and noticed, that the campaign builder made a small mistake in the last line of the db files:
"[Operations] <<ops41afr.dat"
There are two blanks after [Operations] instead of one. Remove one of the blanks and the campaigns will work correctly.
I have uploaded the corrected files here:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/Skins/Juri_JS/Africa_fix.zip
Just put them in you DGen folder. Maybe Asura can include them in his next release.
It would be a great help, if people could report other campaigns that don't start in the new Dgen, so we can check them systematically for such mistakes.
-
er..ok, I will finish then my test of them all; When ready , a report an a log for each failure will be available to you guys.

Occasionally the system seems to ignore the [Squadrons] section of the campaign's DB file and mismatches aircraft and units. For example, I get Bf 110s assigned to one of the listed JG units, and not to a ZG unit, as stated in the DB file. Not a big deal, but a little irritating. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
-
I will look more attentively at this part of a code.
-
I would like to thank Asura and everyone who is involved in this Project. Thanks to you I can fly planes in campaigns that were previously unavailable!
I do not know if this error was was already mentioned. After finishing the mission I heard a beep and the screen will appear with a description next flight, but without generated missions.
At the end of the log message appears: "Error in Select_PF_Target". ???
I think, even if all the objects for this campaign were destroyed (but they weren't), DGen should create a missions in a new Theatre of Operations... instead of abandoning action. ;)
How can I fix this? Can I somehow continue this campaign? Will DGen continue working, if I will generate mission and wrote it in campaign.ini?
-
Hi Asura.
Think I need your help.I play
Asia for the Asians!
Ojcar's dynamic (DGen) campaign.The campaign is updated by Greybeard for 4.11/HSFX 6 and your DGen mod.
After the first mission then I hit mission end and like to go on to the next one,DGen crashes to desktop and gave me the following error message:
(http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg632/chiefrogger76/Screenshots/rok.jpg)
The DGen-mod-eventlog says that everything is ok ???
any ideas? regards,Semor
-
Semor, I'm not an expert, but to me the date format is wrong. If my files are the same as yours, change all the dates in the [Schedule] section of the DB file (it's BurmaC, isn't it?) starting with 0 to 'full' dates, namely:
19400913
19400920
19400928
...and so on, instead of:
00913
00920
00928
-
i think both can be used
-
Hi guys!
I think latest DGen_mod, although using full date format, is compatible with old one. I myself played "Asia for the Asians Revisited" with it and had no glitches until penultimate subcampaign. I can suggest to Semor to download and install (if him didn't yet) my latest version, where I addressed some errors but that mentioned (also detailed in its own "Readme" file). Waiting for next DGen_mod version, which will fix those problems, I would propose to play with stock DGen, just avoiding to choose as player's plane the two non-stock ones (i.e.: Ki-44 and Ki-43-III).
I hope Asura would add his comments, by far more useful than mine, since I'm getting some similar complaints (early subcampaigns not playable) that I can't reproduce on my system (and absolutely I'm unable to guess the cause).
GB
-
Yes, both can be used - unless they start with 0.
"The old YMMDD format can still be used, provided it falls into the 1 January 1941 - 31 December 1945 period".
I'm quoting Asura's manual, page 7.
Semor, do as I told you, I had a similar problem with my 1940 western campaign and changing date format fixed it.
-
Ok,thanks Lagarto and Greybeard
I´m on it...
I redownloading the whole campaign atm and install it again,if I had no luck with this,then changing the data format,one of these two things will work. :D
cheers.

thx, you´re absolutely right, now i´ve got my Westfront40 campaign working :)

Glad to have helped :)
I have encountered a different kind of problem in my current (Bf 109E7/Z) DGen campaign. After takeoff the AI aircraft fly to the first waypoint at a nearly stalling speed of 180 kph (I've checked via FMB), and only then they speed up to over 300 kph. On a mountainous map like Bessarabia it's suicidal because they often crash into the surrounding hills moments after takeoff. How to make them fly faster to the first waypoint?
The problem is not aircraft-specific, because I've noticed that the opposition (I-16s and MiG-3s) also barely crawl to the first waypoint.
-
I think 180 kph is the standard speed for the first waypoint and it is not affected by the speed settings in the planes file.
You could try to exchange the start and landing points on the airfield. In my Solomon campaigns I had to do this too, to avoid crashing into hills when starting from some airfields.
-
At the end of the log message appears: "Error in Select_PF_Target". ???
Unfortunately, the primary plan on association of two branches led to change of balance in the generator. It sometimes leads to that the generator doesn't find unequivocal communication "mission type - the purpose" and deduces similar mistakes. I now work over radical change of these procedures and mistakes won't arise. While I would recommend not to use in ini the file the MissionDistance parameter = it strongly limits the available purposes.
How can I fix this? Can I somehow continue this campaign? Will DGen continue working, if I will generate mission and wrote it in campaign.ini?
Close game. Find in the file Dgen_modERROR.log the line ParamStr: copy its contents in a clipboard. Then in a command line start the generator manually. An example -
ParamStr: users/1/ missions/campaign/ru/DGen_F_Crimea4214/ 1 282654864639 0 4
C:\..\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\dgen.exe users/1/ missions/campaign/ru/DGen_F_Crimea4214/ 1 282654864639 0 4
Thus you repeat generator start with the last parameters and he will repeat generation of unsuccessful mission. If generation passes without mistakes - start game and load campaign.
-
After the first mission then I hit mission end and like to go on to the next one,DGen crashes to desktop and gave me the following error message:
Such situation arose in volume a case if campaign began with the version generator till 1.0.1.0, and proceeded in version 1.0.1.0. In the file! Read First.pdf is described campaign translation process under the new generator.
And as correctly wrote colleagues - 1940 can be only in a full format in section [Schedule].

Speed of 180 km/h and height of 300 meters is registered in algorithms of routes for all planes. So it was primary and I didn't begin to change these values. Whether there is in it a need? AI will run all the same into mountains... :)

I thought that giving the poor bastards a little more power on takeoff would help them survive a bit longer :) Apparently they can 'see' the obstacles ahead but they don't have enough flying speed to clear them.
-
Well, I will add to fighters of speed. :)

Thank you :) Here's another issue with the old DGen.exe that you must be aware of.
In the campaign I'm presently working on, I want Luftwaffe to fly only offensive missions, but when I removed all the ‘oDeDefend’ and ‘oDePatrol’ missions from the ops file, I got a freeze-up. Strangely, when I leave only one ‘oDeDefend’ and one 'oDePatrol' mission, the system generates them over and over again, persistently ignoring dozens of other available mission types. Is there a fix for it?
EDIT: I solved the problem of the system generating only defensive missions - and it was my fault :-[
In the DGen_mod.ini I had no entry whatsoever about MissionDistance, so apparently the system searched for targets only in the radius of the default 60 km. Now, when I put MissionDistance=250, my aircraft finally began to range out far and wide, finding other targets.

Ok guys..I´m a bit lost..
The Asia for the asians becomes a hard nut for me.
1.Greybeard,I downloaded your "corrected"version of the campaign,but I noticed now the missing Mods folder in the Zip package and as a result after a short test-install I cant see the new planes.i.e Ki-44 & Ki-43III.
So,I try the second solution and start to edit the "old version" like Lagarto told me.But after openig the first DB file, Burma 42 in this case I look at the [Schedule] section and found this entrys:
[Schedule]
40115 350 1
40117 120 1
40120 120 1
40122 120 1

40126 60 1
40130 60 1
40202 60 1
40205 40 1
now I´m a bit confused,cause the dates seems right to me,or not??
To be honest I´m not very familiar with editing such files.
I need a bit help...

hmmm..(scratch my head..)
looks right.will try ASAP!
Thank you. :)

No luck with this.I ended with the "peep" sond and DGen wont generate a campaign.
:-X
-
I'm not familiar with mods, so I can't really help.
By the way, the "beep" sound is better than a freeze-up, because the "beep" generates an error report; freeze-up doesn't generate anything.

According to your error log you are using a very old DGen.exe version from 2005.
-
No. I use the newest Dgen-mod 1.0.1.0!!
Don`t really know whats happend with this. But I hope the Greybeard can make a corrected version from Asian for the Asians campaign. (with the right time settings & the new planes)
greets. Semor
-
Must be an old errolog file, delete the errorlog file and try again, when there is a new errorlog file in the Il2 folder post it here
-
The error log files in the new DGen are called "Dgen_modERROR", I guess you have posted an old "DgenERROR" file.
-
sorry guys,my fault.dont know where the old EXE cames from. ::)
Installed the correct one,but had the same CTD again as before editing the DB files.
Edit: I gave up for the moment,I´m not very talented in editing an tweaking an existing campaign.
Maybe one day there will be a better version of this nice campaign out there.
Dont want to waste space at Asuras thread at this point.
Thanks again for the help to all of you guys.
regards.Semor :)

Semor,
I missed MOD folder from latest version because I realized it was useless in my case add a modified one.
I checked first subcampaign and actually that does not run after first mission cause the date format; I'm really sorry for this. You should edit, though, BurmaC and not Burma42 to fix.
I didn't gave up. Just waiting Asura's fixes to update "Asians". I think I'll do a version suited only for DGen_mod to avoid any confusion.
S!

....Finaly I´ve got it!!!
Editing Burma C was the key! ;D ;D
Many thanx for your help mate.

Well, didn't I say - three days ago - edit BurmaC? :) Anyway, we all learned how DGen works by trial and error, and by asking lots of questions.
-

EDIT: I solved the problem of the system generating only defensive missions - and it was my fault :-[
In the DGen_mod.ini I had no entry whatsoever about MissionDistance, so apparently the system searched for targets only in the radius of the default 60 km. Now, when I put MissionDistance=250, my aircraft finally began to range out far and wide, finding other targets.
Except association of branches I also work over this problem. To tell she is already solved more truly. Now the algorithm will use only those types of missions which are in ops file. It will be possible to add in ops file only one line - for example interception of transport planes, and these missions will be formed only. The MissionDistance parameter isn't used any more, the radius of flight and search of the purposes undertakes from FM game. Search of the purposes is carried out according to all map without a binding to key points is should provide the various directions of departures and prevention of freezing of the program. But the reasonable balance between the maintenance of ops files and the purposes on maps should remain.

Thank you :)
By the way, on some airfields AI aircraft disappear after landing, and on others they don’t. Is it possible to stop them from disappearing?

@Lagarto
It's an option in FMB.
Maybe changing the base mission, I don't know for sure.

Thanks santobr, I tried this option but it doesn't seem to change anything.
Could someone please explain some of the more cryptic contents of the settingsXXX.dat file?
[AF_OFF] and [Airstart] seem self-explanatory, but I'm not sure about the contents of the [Distance] section: AFRange, ClustersRange, ClustersRadius and ClustersCount. What do they do? Are there any other available tweaks?
-
Hi Asura.
I have a question, ok,maybe a very dumb question,but anyway...
I play mostly DCG stuff cause of the (as I think) better flexibility in campaign settings.From time to time I take a look at some DGen campaigns and with your fantastic work,I have a good feeling that this generator becomes a much better thing than the old ones.
I think,DCG has a great advantage in compare to the DGen,and this is the ability to track the plane losses.
(please correct me if I´m wrong at this point..)
How do I come to this? easy,I play for the moment Greybeard`s Asia for the Asian campaign and I must fight hard for my virtual life :D..but it does not matter how many enemys my squad and I kill in each mission.The frontline moves in the next mission but the same number of enemy fighters/bombers are in the air again!
In DCG,the plane losses,are tracked for the next mission by the generator(for blue & red)and you can set the resupply rate for days & weeks. I think this is much more realistic., so to speak.
Question: is this "feature" in any kind already in your new DGen,and if not,it`s possible to implement this in the future?
Regards from Semor :)

The section [Distance] contains settings for definition of the group purposes - ports, warehouses, HQ etc. The description of parameters now competently I can not make - there will be difficulties with transfer. Juri_JS can can help? :)
-
[AF_OFF] = can be used to disable airfields form use
[Airstart] = if you want airstart for example for the enemy to reduce the flight time for your own filght
look at juri_js Salomon campaign and there you will find values for each parameter
-
I have a question, ok,maybe a very dumb question,but anyway...
O yes! :) Never-ending crowds of enemies in Pacific campaigns, especially at attacks on airfield of the player it that that impossible. :) Now the mechanism of replenishment and the accounting of losses it is possible to tell doesn't work absolutely. More true it isn't present and wasn't in the old generator in a normal look. To change it not a problem and I surely I am going to make it. It is necessary to think up only the mechanism, and to realize it not so difficult. If there are offers - with pleasure will listen.
-

AFRange=3000 (default)
Objects in this Range around the airfield will be recognized as airfield targets and not, for example, as artillery or depot. It was necessary to add this setting for the Guadalcanal part of my Solomons campaign, because with the default setting all objects in the small American perimeter on the island were recognized as airfield objects. The setting is useful for other campaigns too, whenever an airfield is inside a small pocket, Stalingrad could be an example.
ClustersRange=2000 (default)
The distance between target clusters. If within this range a cluster already exists, a second cluster isn't formed.
ClustersRadius=1000 (defaul)
Radius in which objects are recognized as part of a target cluster.
ClustersCount=10 (default)
Number of objects that need to be in a cluster to be recognized as target for a mission. I am not sure if this is really needed for ETO campaigns, but in PTO campaigns it is useful.
-
... but it does not matter how many enemys my squad and I kill in each mission.The frontline moves in the next mission but the same number of enemy fighters/bombers are in the air again!
Quoting from IL-2 Manual (PF):
"In any operation, your forces will advance or retreat. The front line moves historically, but you
can speed it up or slow it down to a limited degree. If you destroy an object, it will stay
destroyed for whatever time is determined by its nature. Every destroyed plane, friendly or
hostile, reduces the total number of planes of this type, making their appearance less likely.
Lost trains and transport columns will affect the supply rate. If you kill or capture an enemy
ace, he will not appear in future battles."
This could be a bogus, like many stated features in IL-2. What i see editing DB files is that front movements are time-set, while in OPS files a fixed number of planes per mission is set: you may got up to ten different sets for same kind of mission, but I've no evidence they may be dynamically reduced as a consequence of previous missions results. Also, I read on some official IL-2 document about possible "downgrading" of available planes, that's to say squadrons could get replacement aircrafts of older models when current ones have been exhausted. Actually, sometimes I saw in debriefings warning about low number of planes left, but never got a "downgraded" mount.
-
Like most DGen campaign builders I try to create my campaigns as close to historical events as possible, so I don't want the players action to have any influence on the course of the campaign, that's the main reason why I use DGen instead of DCG.
If more player influence on campaigns depending on mission success is added in the future I would prefer that it is made optional.

jeeez....looks like I stich into a hornets nest. :D
+1! I'm interested in history reenactment, not a 'game'.
::) do you think,I not..??
Both,DGen & DCG have their advantages,and the timetable command in DCG can be a helpfull tool for historical accuracy.
@ greybeard,thanks for the explanation,I didn´t take a look into the manual for ages. I play a lot of Dgen campaigns before I discoverd DCG,and for example in one of the german eastfont campaigns I fly 89 missions in full real settings (no Hud,no padlock shit,no map icons,no external view,no zoom,etc.) before a russian Lagg-3 gave me the final shot,and honestly I didn´t had the feeling that our success/fail in one misson have a notable influence (dynamicly or historical accurate) in the next one.
So,maybe you´re right and this could be a bogus, like many stated features in IL-2.But I enjoy both,DGen and DCG.
Peace folks. ;)
-
I think now we can make big battles because of our newer machines, so, the influence of the player will be reduced or eliminated. :)
santobr.
-
Not such a hornet nest (I hope not) : For me, DCG is very good, but when I tested it, several years ago, lot of campaigns were strongly influenced by the player and the "campaign history" was completly different from the "true history"
So what I have always looked for was an option too "stop this"
-
+1! I'm interested in history reenactment, not a 'game'.
I agree.
The point is that historical reenactment must happen in a realistic environment.
I mean, again quoting the manual, if you destroy a static aircraft, you would not find it again in next air base attack; usually, they're set to be "restored if wrecked". Likewise, you would see a bombed bridge remaining wrecked, that I never saw, in this game. Still the manual says you'll never see in same campaign a killed ace: I flew with JG54 all the war and never saw Hannes Trautloft! Aces are missing at all, not only after being shot down!
Anything Asura will be able to improve I think will enhance player's enjoyment or at least reduce harassment.

-

Yep.I must agree with you!
I mean,DCG has many advantages in timetable settings,tracking plane,pilot and ground losses etc.but lacks a historical enviroment in the campaign mechanics. For DGen it is vice versa in case of the moving frontlines and the campaign outcome,but the generator has no abillity for a historical correct plane re-supply rate and tracks the ground losses not correct as it should be.(collums,static planes,bridges etc.)
So,I think we need something,that fills the gap between this two "dynamic" generators.
As Asura noted in his post above,and if I understand this right,it is in general possible to add such mechanics to the DGen-Mod.
Btw..Boelke is right,aces only appear for the enemy.I shoot one down,last evening. ;D
cheers.

Hi,
Well, I think if you would make a dynamic campaign really 100% accurate, which incidentally does not allow the game engine, you would wonder how boring many missions would be!
A large part of the WWII pilots were many hours in the sky without to face a single opponent!
During the Battle of Saipan, the majority of Japanese pilots are launched from distant atolls, only to be shot down after many hours of flight time in a couple of minutes from the american supremacy!
Also many German pilots, in their shorter career at the end of the war, never had an opponent in front of him! And if so, it was usually also the last mission for them!
And a crucial thing, even the best campaign can not simulate (thankfully) the fear of death!
-
Well, I think if you would make a dynamic campaign really 100% accurate, which incidentally does not allow the game engine, you would wonder how boring many missions would be!
So true!
Time ago someone computed probability for a WWI average pilot to shot down an enemy. Well, all considered (probability to encounter enemies and, if so, that a fighting would follow and a positive firing solution would happen) that was 1% (That is: one every 100 missions)!
Actually, we've all a special idea about how this "historical reenactment" should be: a selection of adventurous events, rigorously inspired to reality, I think.
-
please guys, let's keep this thread clear for problems and support for Asuras dgen mod
-
Would it be possible to make the DGen.exe generate an error report, not a freeze-up, every time something goes wrong? For example last night, while I was working on a new campaign, the program froze. Finally, after a few frustrating hours, I discovered that by accident I had typed wrong date format ('440612' instead of '40612'). If the program generated an error report, I'd fix it at once.
-
Two little discoveries that may come in handy for mission builders:
1) Vehicles carrying antiaircraft weapons won’t fire at enemy aircraft if they’re selected from the ‘stationary objects’ list. Only when the same vehicles are selected from 'artillery' list, they will open fire. Sounds obvious but I made this mistake several times when working on campaign templates.
2) Presently, bomber formations are limited to 9 or 12 machines, unless they are heavy bombers, then their formation can be made of up to 39 machines. Now, thanks to Asura, it’s possible to edit AllPlanes.dat file and turn any medium or dive bomber into a heavy one. So if you, for example, make the Ju 87 the ‘HBomber’ and drop a few ‘hB’ parameters into the ops file, you’ll get spectacular formations of up to 39 Stukas. I armed my 'hB' Stukas in 3x250 kg bombs, and when they all rolled into a dive and dropped their bombs onto some target, it was a sight to behold :)

I at all against that here except problems of the generator possibilities of its development were discussed. :) it is simpler to trace everything in one subject. Concerning historicity and game process. I consider there should be a reasonable balance. On the one hand the front line and emergence of certain types of planes should correspond to the modelled historical period. On the other side of mission shouldn't strain monotony. After all it is game and first of all we for it undertake to enjoy process. Personally I for example very much would like to play dynamic campaign based on '46. And the option of alternative history when the USSR and the USA meet on Elba not as friends is even better. ;) actually there is a lot of Options and not all while it will turn out to realize. :)
Over questions of replenishments and losses it will be well necessary to think. After all in reality of a part were taken away on replenishment, changed to out-of-date types of planes etc. Reasonably constructed mechanism I think should allow to receive in mission a bigger variety of squadrons.

If in DGen_mod.ini to establish the LogLevel=0 parameter in files DGen_mod.log and DGen_mod_proc.log full debugging information on operation of the generator will remain. In case of generator freezing in the file DGen_mod_proc.log it is possible to define what procedure of the program hanged. Now all errors of the generator which can be traced are fixed.
-
Concerning players influence on frontline movement I have a request for the future. At the moment the players success is influencing the frontline, which can make it hard to create historical correct frontline movement. It would be nice if an option can be added to the settings file to disable it, maybe "PlayerInfluence=true/false".

Asura, you're probably aware of this problem, but just in case you aren't - sometimes fighters sent out to intercept enemy bombers or reconnaissance machines arrive too late, see the empty sky and turn back. I know it happened in real life, but still it's a bit annoying. Perhaps they could chase the fleeing enemy a little?
-
Maybe a few suggestions for futher game mechanics.(if it´s possible)
-A better/ralistic plane resupply rate that can be for example set by the author of a campaign or set by the player in the [DGen] section of the confic.ini. With the the result that the enemy losses have greater impact on the count of planes that you encounter over the subcampaign and you never see the 10 bomers,10-15 fighters thing again and again in each mission.
-A "random"chance of interception in the missions,depending losses/resupplies for each squadron.This can be also set by the campaign builder/player.
At the moment,you have a nearly 100% chance of fighting in each mission,not very historical accurate.I know,the balance between fun and history,but I like this feature from DCG, that you´ll never know where the enemy is,from witch direction he comes and how many of them.If you´re were lucky,you will fly your route and come back saftly without contact but if not....you never know and must stay on high allert all over the time. 8)
cheers to all of you.

So happens, when the airfield of interceptors is too far from the purpose which is attacked by bombers. If it is possible to put fighters in an expectation circle, with bombers this method doesn't approach. I will turn on this attention when I will rule procedures of formation of routes.

I had a possibility to carry out the next two weeks on the bank of the warm sea and I will use it. :) That you didn't miss - https://www.mediafire.com/?yskdgw89a8jo734 (https://www.mediafire.com/?yskdgw89a8jo734) the test, transitional version to future 2.0 here lies from 1.0.1.0. It is not finished version and it is intended for founders of campaigns and enthusiasts. The program completely wasn't tested yet and in it precisely there are mistakes but which can what be tried. To be exact:
1. Division into Pacific/not Pacific completely is absent - all files of campaigns are processed by one incorporated algorithm. As a base branch Pacific branch is chosen.
2. More than one departure in day available to all campaigns.
3. Absolutely new algorithm of selection is more whole, now it depends only on radius of flight of each plane which has been set in FM.
4. Data from FM are stored in the new AllPlaneDB.dat file which while is filled with test values. It will contain the correct values in version 2.0 from FM.
That isn't completed yet:
1. The system of briefings doesn't work - it too should be united.
2. Procedures of creation of routes for the incorporated version aren't adjusted.
3. The program practically wasn't tested.
I will prepare changes in the instruction on new possibilities while the basic - for formation of mission by the main file is now the ops file. Algorithm of work such:
1. Calculation of all is more whole on map available in flight radius.
2. Reading ops file and creation of the list available to mission: line of the ops file + quantity of the suitable purposes not equally to zero.
3. A choice in a random way such as mission.
Key points don't participate any more in a choice of the purposes. They are used only as the purpose "Town"
Besides I changed the list of available parameters in the ops file - added a number of possibilities. I will describe in the instruction in more detail.
After rest I will continue work on version 2.0, remained not much. ;)
-
Great, I will test !
-
Should we already send bug reports or is it better to wait for the release of 2.0?
-
Should we already send bug reports or is it better to wait for the release of 2.0?
I am sorry, forgot to write. Bug reports to do while the sense isn't present - the version very crude and mistakes in it much. Generally from that association for 100 % isn't complete.
-
Thanks Asura for your commitment and test version 1.5.
About interceptors missing their target (which happens often in Pacific environment, especially with high-flying B-29), I guess it is due to climb speed not taken in account. I mean, maybe DGen computes time to target with cruising speed in level flight, not considering portions of flight made climbing at slower speed. This doesn't affect much short flights at low and medium altitudes, but has an impact on long flights at high altitudes.
Just an idea, cheers,
GB

Here’s something that might need fixing. When I get injured during a mission, I’m usually transferred to the next sub-campaign, but if it’s the last sub-campaign, when I click the after-mission ‘apply’ button, the game freezes. Shouldn’t it display the campaign debriefing message, and finish the campaign? Has anyone noticed the same problem?
-
Something like that happened to me when I was playing Boelcke's JG 27 westfront campaign. I was wounded in Ardennes 1940, hit apply and instead of going to France 1940, I either got a blank map or froze. I guess getting wounded doesn't work in some of these new campaigns?
-
:D
wish I could understand rusky
-
At the end of the log message appears: "Error in Select_PF_Target". ???
Unfortunately, the primary plan on association of two branches led to change of balance in the generator. It sometimes leads to that the generator doesn't find unequivocal communication "mission type - the purpose" and deduces similar mistakes. I now work over radical change of these procedures and mistakes won't arise. While I would recommend not to use in ini the file the MissionDistance parameter = it strongly limits the available purposes.
How can I fix this? Can I somehow continue this campaign? Will DGen continue working, if I will generate mission and wrote it in campaign.ini?
Close game. Find in the file Dgen_modERROR.log the line ParamStr: copy its contents in a clipboard. Then in a command line start the generator manually. An example -
ParamStr: users/1/ missions/campaign/ru/DGen_F_Crimea4214/ 1 282654864639 0 4
C:\..\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\dgen.exe users/1/ missions/campaign/ru/DGen_F_Crimea4214/ 1 282654864639 0 4
Thus you repeat generator start with the last parameters and he will repeat generation of unsuccessful mission. If generation passes without mistakes - start game and load campaign.
Unfortunately this solution didn't work. Again I heard a 'beep', and a new mission wasn't created. Instead appeared entries about pilot transfers, promotions. :(

Send me all files for debugging and still campaign files from the Dgen folder. I will look in what a problem.
-
Hi, everybody! I returned. :) Couple of days to deal with affairs and I will continue version 2.0 preparation ;)
-
Glad to see you back. How was the vacation? :)
Is the new, merged DGen going to work more like the one we have now for Europe, or the one we have for the Pacific? I always like the one for Europe more (it is better developed), and the one for Pacific never really worked as it should.
-
I was quite unhappy when I saw that the 1.5.0.0 test version is using the Pacific waypoint system in European campaigns, I doubt that it is a good idea. In my opinion it would be the best way to add an option to the settings file that allows campaign builder to select which waypoint system is used on a map. On some maps the Pacific system might be useful, on other maps the European system will work much better.

To have a rest always it is good! :) I will try to make a good hybrid of Europe and Pacific. I hope to take from branches all best. For example the system of messages will be from Pacific - it is universal and convenient, and here routes I will try to take from Europe, just as structure of briefings - it is more informative.

I didn't manage to unite this part yet. In 1.5 routes only from Pacific, but this makeshift, only are really used in order that it was possible to try 1.5. In 2.0 over a land routes from Europe, over water - from Pacific will be used.

Please don't forget to give us an option to manually set daylight hours :) I'm sick and tired of having to skip missions because it's too dark to fly.

I will make surely. :)

And of course I'm looking forward to the 'Antiship' type of missions for AI in the ETO/MTO, currently unused, so that we can finally have He 111s, Ju 88s, Do 217s, SM 79s, Beaufighters, IL-2s, IL-4s, and the forthcoming Beauforts do their torpedo work :)

Is there a version I can try on DBW?
-
Is there a version I can try on DBW?
I use DBW + DGen_MOD. Everything works. :) the New generator isn't adhered to the game and mods version. The main thing that in the AllClasses.dat file there were planes which are in your version.
-
I was trying to enable the TBD and disable the F4F3 as an attack plane in the Coral Sea campaign.
For the TBD I wrote everything needed in AllClasses.dat and AllPlanes.dat and I included the TBD1 in the [Planes] section of CoralSea.DB
For the F4F3 I created the classesUN1.dat and I registered the F4F3 as a FIGHTER_N trying to override the AllClasses.dat.
Well, it looks like nothing changed, there isn't a TBD squadron in the attack carriers mission and instead of TBD there is a attacking squadron of F4F3 with bombs.
I don't know what to do anymore, maybe I forgot something, but I can't put the TBD instead of F4F3 in the attack carrier mission. :-[
Every help is welcome. :)
Thank you. ;)

Looks very good. It´s the first Campaign with a modded map + Asuras Dgen exe, isn´t it?
Daumen hoch,Freu mich schon drauf. 8)
Btw..@ Asura. Maybe it´s possible to include a random Transit Altitude for Player/Ai Planes in the next DGen version?
Edit: I had a very old and anoying bug last evening: the "I get wounded and Dgen crashes in the next mission bug"

Great !!!

Really Great. I´ve been waiting sooo long for a early Japan War campaign in DGen format. Really cool.
Can I suggest you something? You say "we are missing many important Japanese aircraft from the late 30s". sadly this is right...but:
We have already a Ki-30 with the right skins! Ist´s only a hack but better than a skin hack for the D3A.
Please look here:
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,14502.0.html
..and instead the S-328 for the Ki-4 I think the K-10 fits more better in this timeframe and is build by a japanese Aircraft designer.
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,19215.0.html
And please dont forget about the legendary Mitsubishi A5M4 that takes also part in the Nomonhan incident with great sucsess.
my 2 Cent. :)
Edit:you can contact me via Pm if you need some Historical infos or Paint shemes about the Ki-27 or infos about the Sentais in this conflict.
-
At the moment I have stopped building campaigns for the modded game. The Manchuria/Khalkhin Gol campaigns will be for the stock game, although it can be played without problems in the modded game.
The A5M4 wasn't used at Khalkhin Gol, it was a pure Army Air Force operation, but the A5M4 will appear in the semi-historical Lake Khasan sub-campaign.
-
ok. No problem.
For the A5M4. after study some of my osprey publications,yes you are right,Khalkhin Gol was a pure Army Air Force operation. Sorry,my mistake.
-
I was working on the Coral Sea campaign and I don't know if this was intended to work like that, but DGen is ignoring CDBomber and CTBomber entries in AllPlanes.dat.
It only reads CBomber entries.
I put CBomber entries for SDB3 and for TBD1 with a torpedo and finally it worked.
Now there are missions with a mix of TBDs and SBD3s against Japanese carriers in the Coral Sea campaign.
But I was thinking if DGen could make mistakes, creating missions with TBDs against ground targets in other campaigns that have ground targets.

Unfortunately this solution didn't work. Again I heard a 'beep', and a new mission wasn't created. Instead appeared entries about pilot transfers, promotions. :(
Send me all files for debugging and still campaign files from the Dgen folder. I will look in what a problem.
Hello,
I'm sorry that I'm asking (I would not want to be pushy), but did you recieved the files I sent (to the e-mail: dgen.service@mail.ru) few days ago?
-

I am sorry that didn't answer immediately. Simply now I change a code of the generator and it temporarily isn't efficient. :) Therefore the exact reason while I can not tell. The mistake arises from that there are no purposes suitable for attack.
Sea: Art:0 HQ:0 Rail:0 Dep:0 Prt:0 Trp:0 Car:0 Trn:0 Tnk:0 Bdg:0 Amp:0 Con:5
Wake: Art:0 HQ:0 Rail:0 Dep:0 Prt:0 Trp:0 Car:0 Trn:0 Tnk:0 Bdg:0 Amp:1 Con:0
The generator finds 5 transport sea caravans and group of amphibians, but in the corresponding ops the file there are no missions for these purposes. I think a mistake arises from for it. In the new version similar mistakes will be not possible - the algorithm is reversed.
-
In the future maybe we could have new entries in ops files like nBT, nBTr, nBTx and nBD, nBDr and nBDx, so we could control a bit more the types of airplanes at PTO. :)
Another good thing could be to eliminate the 9 planes limit for each entry, because our systems have much more power now than at the time of the old version of DGen. The only problem is to make some coding to avoid explosions in the begining of the mission.

there are some more limitations today in dgen.exe, for example 256 ships on a map, 40 planes for heavy bomber formations (hB) on ETO maps, 12 Fighters ...

Is there a possibility to tune this by modifying some files or options, because 3/4 of the missions are not flyable "as is" ?
Also for some reasons, I fight only 110C4 (there are 4 of them against 50 FW190, 50 109 ... in the db files), do you know why ?
Obviously, this campaign works very well with "original DGEN"

if we are talking about the new dgen.exe from Asura, i have discovered the same, only the first enemy fighter plane from the concerning planesXXX.dat file appears in the missions, equaly if it is used in the DB file or not (same for other classes like bomber, etc.)

A little information for "DGEN fanclub" :) Work on association of branches proceeds, I finished association of procedure which forms planes and routes in mission. Now for overland missions routes from FB branch, and for sea from PF. Now I unite procedure of data recording of mission.
At the same time I completely alter system of briefings. For a basis it is taken systems from PF when all messages are stored in one file, and the choice of the nation is carried out on codes. I added missing codes in algorithm and in version 2.0 there will be a possibility to make the correct messages for all parties, instead of to use messages of Germany and the USSR for their allies. I will leave messages on capture and loss of the cities for all theaters of operations. In addition I will make information on all types of missions in a briefing and instead of "patrol in the area" will be a specific objective.
Unfortunately version 2.0 beta I while can't call exit terms - everything depends on existence of free time, but I over it work. ;)
-
Forgot to tell - I added parameter of a choice of language of messages for the generator. Now replacement of files of messages isn't necessary - language of the generator can differ from game language.
-
Thanks for the info. Take your time, we have lots of fun with your DGen as it is, and it can only get better. Briefings are important but I'm looking forward to other crucial fixes, like better randomizing of mission types, better coordination (so that interceptors don't miss their target on long flights), limiting daylight hours, full use of hydroplanes and torpedo planes on all maps, multiple 'enemy nations'. Anyway, I keep my fingers crossed for the outcome :)
-
Wow! Thank you, Asura! 8)
Please, could you take a look at the ships procedures? :)
Because I noticed that if we sink a carrier, for example, in the next mission the carrier is there again.
Maybe if the ship was heavily damaged in the last mission, that ship could be eliminated too.

I intend to clean all bugs, I will start them to collect as soon as will appear efficient 2.0 :)

The campaign is actually an old project I had started nearly four years ago. It was never completed, because in the old DGen it never worked as intended. Thanks to the new DGen I can finally finish it.

After association of two branches I still had one question. At completion of campaign in Pacific branch the player was offered to carry out a special task and static mission was loaded. There are only three missions - for Japan, the USA and England. These missions are necessary? There is in them a sense? Or me in final version 2.0 this algorithm to clean?

Remove it, I don't think they are needed.
In my WIP Khalkhin Gol/Manchuria campaigns these final missions are causing problems, because their date is before the last regular campaign mission.
-
Sure, remove it.
-
Special missions cleaned. Soon I will start to be engaged in algorithms of selection of planes in mission. I have a decision how to organize unequivocal definition such as the plane and during too time to have possibility to use at the same time one plane for different types of missions and for the different parties/the countries. For example in the same campaign, and respectively in missions there will be Italian Bf.109 as attack planes (as an example) and German Bf.109 as fighters. Theoretically they can be pushed off with Bf.109 from structure of a special regiment of the Air Force of the USSR and the generator without problems will process it. ;D

Dear Santa Asura, Xmas is coming, we've been good boys, we want a new toy ;D

Hi, everybody. :)
I finished the main work on DGen_MOD 2.0 and began the first testing. While debugging of the program will be carried out and preparation of beta of the version I will start acquainting with features of the new version gradually.
1 . It is completely integrated option of the generator - I cleaned all double procedures and copied a code, having taken the best and unique from branches FB and Pacific. All main opportunities are available now isn't dependent on a battlefield. While there was a division into avianosny and overland options, but I will surely clean this restriction the following versions.
2 . I completely changed algorithm of calculation of radius of search of the purposes - now it isn't attached to key points and works according to the radius of flight from FM.
3 . I completely changed algorithms of selection of planes in mission and arms selection:
- the AllPlanes.dat files and *Planes.dat aren't used any more.
- are added the AllPlaneDB.dat file in which all necessary information on planes and the AllWeapons.dat file which is a matrix of a choice of arms depending on type of a fighting task is collected. I will in detail describe these files in documentation.
4 . I changed available versions of information in section [Planes] of the DB files:
Old format
[Planes]
10 F4U1A
10 F4U1D SSkin.bmp WSkin.bmp
probability of emergence and plane name, summer and winter skin.
New format - option 1
[Planes]
Allies England 10 F6F5 - can set now a plane nationality forcibly
New format - option 2
[Planes]
Allies England 10 F6F5 --Reconplane - can in addition set plane type (in this example of F6F5 will appear only as the scout)
10 F6F5 SSkin.bmp WSkin.bmp --Reconplane
all combinations work.
Now such option is possible:
[Planes]
Axis Germany 45 BF_109G6
Axis Italy 45 BF_109G6
57 BF_109G6Late
Allies USSR 57 BF_109G6Late
These planes will appear at the same time in missions with the established nationalities.
For today while everything, I will continue to acquaint with new opportunities in the next few days. :)

looks great

Yes!!! 8) :D

hm, perhaps i misunderstand this, but does this mean that the xxxxplanes.dat files are useless now? it´s today a very very important feature to tune the missions for each particular campaign/subcampaign - is the new AllPlaneDB.dat used by all campaigns or one for each subcampaign separate?

As it stands the xxxxplanes.dat files carry out two functions:
1 . Selection of necessary arms.
2 . Selection of the plane for type, thus selection is carried out on the plane nation. Further from the nation of the plane squad is selected and identification marks by planes are defined.
Still in the generator there were many types of planes the majority from which weren't used or in the generator united in one type (for example AFighter, FBomberL, FBomberM - all this equaled FBomber). I consider that it brought confusion in understanding of how the generator works and that it does. Besides - the xxxxplanes.dat files were very big, but in them at most 10% of information were used.
I solved a problem of selection of arms in the AllWeapons.dat file. Here its piece:
A_20C;2500;2500;1;1;1;1;1;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1x10002x500;All

It is a matrix in which all arms available to the plane are transferred, whether and values 0/1 define it can be used at attack of definite purposes. For example motorcades and trains or ships or tanks, etc.
New procedure will place the correct arms, besides all lines of the file and not just the first line participate in selection as was earlier. Respectively automatic selection of arms will be more various.
Also I cleaned use of the types aSoft, aShip, aTank, etc. If to approach to a question it is correct, absolutely not important who operates plane - the player or AI. The weapon has to get out by the identical principle and now selection is carried out by one procedure.
Whether authors of campaigns shouldn't think any more they added a line with the necessary weapon in xxxxplanes.dat or not. All settings are already made.
Now the second task - plane selection for mission. For a start I cleaned all excess types of planes, and remained tied to codes in the ops files. In documentation I will in detail describe all options for now it is short:
F, Ff - Fighter
nF, nFf - ?Fighter
fB(aF) - FBomber
B - Bomber
dB - DBomber (Dive Bomber)
tB - TBomber (Torpedo Bomber)
aB - Bomber or DBomber or FBomber
Bx, Br - Bomber or DBomber or FBomber
nB - CBomber
ndB - CDBomber
ntB - CTBomber
naB - CBomber or CDBomber
nBx, nBr - CBomber or CDBomber
hB - HBomber
Bz, By - HBomber
K(Kr) - Kamikaze
A - Attack
T - Transport
P - Paradrop
Hr - HyRecon
R - Reconplane
Still there is Staff - it is used at generation of casual planes.
Now it is possible to set absolutely accurately in ops file as in what quantity has to appear in mission.
The AllPlaneDB.dat one file also is used for all campaigns. In it the main data on planes are collected:

In one line on each plane the nationality and four roles which this plane can play is specified. Roles are broken on paramount (Type 1; Type 2) and minor (Type 3; Type 4). For missions on a code from the ops file at first the plane on the first couple, then on the second is looked for.
These are basic settings for planes.
To expand possibilities of the generator I added parameters in lines of section [Planes] of the DB file.
Exactly here I suggest to perform tunings on planes for each subcampaign. Now it is possible to register accurately a nationality and type of each plane in campaign.
For example, if in section [Planes] the line is set:
10 A_20C - the generator will define from the AllPlaneDB.dat file a nationality - USA and possible roles of Bomber; Attack; Reconplane; TBomber
It is possible to make so:
[Planes]
10 A_20C -Boston with identification marks of USA
Allies England 10 A_20C -Boston with identification marks of RAF
In the same mission will be able there will be two identical planes with different identification marks.
It is possible to make so:
[Planes]
17 LAGG_3SERIES4 -the Soviet fighters (according to the AllPlaneDB.dat file)
Axis Finland 10 LAGG_3SERIES4 -the opponent by trophy planes
When using the old scheme with xxxxplanes.dat such it was simply not possible :)
One more addition in section [Planes] - the predetermined role of the plane. If to set such line:
10 F6F5 --Reconplane -Hellcat It will be used only as the scout, thus all his roles from AllPlaneDB.dat will be ignored.
Well and the most important - exists now rigid communication between lines of section [Planes], the AllPlaneDB.dat file and the AllWeapons.dat file. Anything superfluous in mission won't appear.
In my opinion the new scheme is much better and more flexible than the old xxxxplanes.dat files. :)
-
With all those changes I wonder if the old campaigns will still work in the new DGen. For example will the new DGen still be able to use the xxxplanes.dat files of the old campaigns?
-

Old campaigns continue to be supported in full. The xxxplanes.dat functions will be executed in most cases by AllPlaneDB.dat. There are moments when the same plane was used in the different countries. For the correct display of identification marks it is necessary to correct the DB files. For example in campaigns for the USSR for all B-25 it will be necessary to add in section [Planes]
Allies USSR 8 B_25J1
It isn't difficult to make it, I will add the corresponding instruction in release. Probably even I will write the converter which will automatically correct all DB files at the user.

On the Normandy map, using your DGEN, if you play a campaign, the type of AI plane which is chosen for a particular mission is always the first one on the plane.dat list.
For instance, in Boelcke's RAF campaign, the first german aircraft listed with "intercept" mission is the Bf110.
So, whenever you must fly a campiagn over France, your ennemy (in charge of "intercepting" your flight or the planes you are escorting) is always Bf110.
If instead of Bf110 I put Bf109G6 on the list, the ennemy will always be 109G6 ...
-
The AllPlaneDB.dat one file also is used for all campaigns. In it the main data on planes are collected:
Name;Def. Faction;Def. Nation;Flyable;Type 1;Type 2;Type 3;Type 4;fmRange;fmCruiseSpeed;fmFuelMass (kg);DT1FuelMass;DT2FuelMass;DT3FuelMass
if the AllPlaneDB.dat is used for all campaigns it´s impossible to change altitudes, speed, atc for one particular campaign or subcampaign without changing it for all the other campaigns?

This problem is corrected, now really casual choice of planes.
-
if the AllPlaneDB.dat is used for all campaigns it´s impossible to change altitudes, speed, atc for one particular campaign or subcampaign without changing it for all the other campaigns?
And why to change the speed and height for different campaigns? What does it give? Plane speed on a straight line is connected with fuel consumption and as a rule without an urgent need it didn't exceed. Flight height generally depends on a fighting task, and respectively on arms. Opportunity to establish height for each type of the weapon is present. It is important to understand that height and speed are set only for flight on a route. In case of collision with the opponent planes AI starts operating and these parameters already mean nothing. It is really necessary to change the speed and height for each campaign?
-
Sorry Asura, but in my opinion dropping the xxxplanes.dat files is a big mistake. Without the ability to have individuel speed and altitude settings for each sub-campaign many of my campaigns will no longer work correctly.
A few examples. With the altitude settings I can influence the behaviour of bombers. With a low altitude setting I can force dive bombers to act like level bombers or fighter bombers, which they did in some situations. Moreover in different theaters of WW2 fighting took place at different altitudes. In Russia usually at low to medium altitudes, but in western Europe or over Japan at much higher altitudes.
The speed settings are very important too. In some campaigns it is necessary to give enemy planes low speed settings, to prevent them from reaching their target area too early, otherwise they might not encounter the players flight. On large maps like the Solomons low speeds are necessary to avoid running out of fuel on long range missions.
Please reconsider your decision concerning the xxxplanes.dat files.
-
And why to change the speed and height for different campaigns? What does it give?
it does give an interesting campaign with interesting missions - this decision is a big fault in my opinion
Starshoy has added the planes.dat files feature after a request from some campaign builders and it was one of the best features in the stock dgen.exe file.
-
And why to change the speed and height for different campaigns?
Because it is historical :
Spitfire Mk IX (and most western front aircraft) flew at high altitude in 1943, much lower after DDay, because of the context of the war.
-
To tell the truth how the dynamic campaigns player never attached significance at what height the AI planes and with what speed fly. :)
I can propose such solution. After selection of the plane and arms selection I can look at xxxplanes.dat of the current campaign (if it is). To find there lines at which the Nation, the Type and Arms coincide with what are selected by new algorithm. If such lines are - I will take from them speed and height parameters. If such lines aren't present - parameters of their AllWeapons.dat and AllPlaneDB.dat files will be used.
-
And please don't forget the weapons in the xxxplanes.dat file. For example it would be incorrect to have rockets on a Me-262 in 1944. That's another reason why the xxxplanes.dat files are needed.

It can be done - to exclude from selection which arms isn't present in xxxplanes.dat.

Thank you. :)

New format - option 2
[Planes]
Allies England 10 F6F5 --Reconplane - can in addition set plane type (in this example of F6F5 will appear only as the scout)
10 F6F5 SSkin.bmp WSkin.bmp --Reconplane
all combinations work.
Will it be possible to set more than one type of mission for a plane in the new DB file format? For example both Reconplane and FBomber for the F6F5?
-
Yes, in this question of any restrictions. The probability of emergence will be considered for each type separately.
-
I added support of files * Planes.dat. Now in log file it will be possible to look as I fulfilled algorithm:

GetWeapons after: CruiseSpeed-330.00, minAlt-4500.00, attAlt-4500.00
At will processing of these files can be disconnected, having added in DGen_mod.ini NoLocalPlanes parameter. It will increase possible options of arms, but can affect historical reliability.
-
Does this also mean, it will still be possible to set the mission types a plane can fly (Reconnaissance, FBomber, Attack, etc.) in the xxxPlanes.dat file or will this only work in the DB file?
-

From xxxPlanes.dat information on speed and flight height only is taken, and also checked well to arms or not. xxxPlanes.dat isn't defining factor for plane type. The type of the plane is predetermined in the AllPlaneDB.dat file and can be specified in section [Planes] of the DB file.
xxxPlanes.dat can be filled by old rules, it will work for DGen 4.x.x.x and DGen_MOD 1.0.1.0, and also will be used in DGen_MOD 2.x.x.x

Hi Asura
I dont want to come back all the time with problems to your thread... :D
..but this is really annoying. Did you know the old "Player get wounded and DGen/Campaign crashes" from the past?
It´s happend again...I lost all my 43 missions at Boelkes Kuban campaign.I get a complete crash after hit the apply button at mission end,and then after restart IL-2 again I see a empty mission screen in the campaign with a nice message:No map in mission file or something.
If you now the solution for it,please add it to the next DGen_Mod version.
Thank you!
The wounded DGen Pilot..aka Semor :)
-
If you now the solution for it,please add it to the next DGen_Mod version.
I know about this problem and I will surely correct in release 2.0. I will be grateful for your set of files of campaign in which there was a problem. And still - if the generator gave out a mistake and there was an empty mission is not accident! Save log files, the eventlog.lst file and I will help to make the correct mission after mistake correction in the generator.
-
As it was declared earlier - the new version of the DGen_MOD 2.0.0.0 generator. While beta version. All highlights work, but testing is necessary.
https://www.mediafire.com/?0ro1i44c3lwzz3h (https://www.mediafire.com/?0ro1i44c3lwzz3h)
Unfortunately the full translation of briefings into English is yet ready and in flight tasks the Russian text will meet. I will lay out files of messages later.
In future release the new version of documentation with the description of all new opportunities while ask questions here is planned.
Well and with Coming New year! Clear sky over the head!
-
Thank you, I will begin testing. Are any changes to the old campaigns necessary to make them work in the new DGen version?
-

No, all old campaigns have to work without additional settings. If something doesn't earn is a mistake and it is necessary to correct.

I noticed, the first issue. Airstart points don't work. In my Solomons campaigns players planes will start at the edge of the map and not at the airstart points set in the red and blue files. AI aircraft use airfields I have disabled in the Settings files.
My Home Defence campaigns don't start at all and the DGen_mod file shows the message:
No Red airfields left
War DB not found or bad
Obviously DGen doesn't recognizes the airstart points.

It happens most often during the August and October 1942 sub-campaigns.

I don't know if it has something to do with the airstart error mentioned above, but on some of the western front airstart maps, for example Balaton, I get this error message when I fly as Axis pilot:

Here a few more observations:
1. During testing the new DGen with my own and other user-made campaigns I experienced a number of problems caused by the fact that the type of missions a plane can fly is no longer taken from the xxxxplanes.dat files. For many user-made campaigns a complicated rework will be necessary and I doubt that all campaign builders will be willing to do this. Therefore I strongly suggest to re-enable the possibility to set the mission types for aircraft in the xxxplanes.dat files to avoid incompatibility issues. Although it should still be possible to overwrite these settings with the entries in the xxx.db files.
2. A few times I had aircraft crashing into the ground at the start of a mission. I have send you two of the mission files.
3. Do carriers already work in European campaigns? I added one to my Norway campaigns but got this message:
Variant selected:
oDeDefendCluster 10622:50509 VVS 4nB 4nF LW 8Y

A few examples:
Because the entries in the xxxplanes.dat files are ignored and there are no 'LRFighter' entries in the AllPlaneDB file, no droptanks are used in long range missions of my Solomons campaigns and planes will sometimes run out of fuel during a mission.
Something funny happens when DGen can't find an 'Attack' entry for the G4M1. Fly a few missions in the first Japanese Navy fighter sub-campaign (SolomonsAugust1942e) to see what I mean. ;)
Moreover I sometimes use 'HBomber' entries for fighters in my campaigns, to create high altitude airstart fighters. Or I give bombers a 'Transport' entry. This does no longer work.
Re-enabling all settings in the xxxplanes file would allow compatibility with old user-made campaigns, without the need to rework them.

But there is no CBomber in a Coral Sea Campaign, there are only CDBomber and CTBomber.
I divided codes for the new version of the generator. The nB code in the ops file creates the plane with the CBomber type. Universal bomber. If the diving bomber is necessary now there is a ndB code, and for torpedo bombers - ntB. It not the mistake, is operation of the new generator.

It is possible to download English option which needs to be translated into other languages of the generator at the link. Thanks for the help. There will be questions - with pleasure will answer.

I divided codes for the new version of the generator. The nB code in the ops file creates the plane with the CBomber type. Universal bomber. If the diving bomber is necessary now there is a ndB code, and for torpedo bombers - ntB. It not the mistake, is operation of the new generator.
Missions in which the main offensive force bombers are formed of lines of the ops files of containing oXxBomb... Line:
oDeBombAF 10622:50509 VVS 3F LW 9B 6Y
will create 9 bombers attacking airfield, 6 planes in a link of the player as cover and 3 enemy interceptors
It's working now. 8)
You are making a great work on the new DGen, thank you very much. :)
I there any chance of a ntBr code?
Thank you again, Asura. :)

Hi Asura,
thanks for your efforts. Its nice to see dgen revamped after such long time and get these new maps playable.
While waiting for your next update I have tried to do something useful and did a (very halting) translation of the text in the messageEN-file. I also added some briefings for some of the usermade campaigns floating around the net.
Here is the link:
https://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c44tgwwu196z8e4
In case you don´t want someone messing around your project, just inform me, I will remove the file.
I also tried to add the towns, airbases and bridges files for the malta map. I did not include every little town, but I think its a start.
https://www.mediafire.com/download.php?13jds295s9sord8
Keep up the good work!
PS: I still got errors with the squadrons 13_JG52Slovakian and 356squadriglia with your last version. Will test the new one later.
-
OK, I got the italians to work:
356Squadriglia is spelt different in the old campaign-databases than in the Allwings.dat: 356squadriglia. After changing it to 356Squadriglia, it worked.
The Slovakians are working also.
-
To prevent people from doing unnecessary work I should mention, that a German translation of the DGen message file is already finished. What is still needed are translations into French, Czech, Polish and Hungarian.
-

Not absolutely I understood about what you ask... At school I learned French, but without the subsequent practice absolutely it forgot. :) English learned itself, my knowledge and the help of the translator suffices to support conversation, but difficult phrases in English when not clearly where a question and that is a subject of a question nonplus us with http://www.translate.ru/. ;D

It was the Belgorod42-subcampaign from "Disaster On The Frontiers 2.1" by Amagi (http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=1763).
But the spelling 356squadriglia (without capital S) is also used in the stock stalingrad.db and stalingrad2.db. Was this spelling used by the old dgen.exe?
By the way: The error I got from "13_JG52Slovakian" seems to be caused by assigning a skin to this unit in the [Squadrons] section, but not listing it in the [OOB] section. So it wasnt a bug in the new dgen.exe.

I can make so that on the nBr nBx code, will be selected in a random way in mission of CBomber, CTBomber & CDBomber. Such decision will approach?

Probably I missed where that check without the register of letters. It is necessary to recheck.

The section [OOB] limits squadrons set in campaign just as section [Planes] a set of planes. If squadron is absent in [OOB] it can't be used in other parts of campaign. Except squadron of the player - it is added automatically from the game interface.

Well, I was thinking in some missions like Midway that the more slow torpedo bombers took off before, planning to attack together with the dive bombers and fighters, but the dive bombers and the fighters were late and the torpedo bombers were decimated. :'(

-
Is the RandomFlights-Parameter working right now?
I get multiple friendly and enemy flights on european maps, even with RandomFlights=1. There seems to be any difference to RandomFlights=5.

Over it it will be necessary to think. In general I now have big questions to avianosny part of the generator. It very simple and boring. There is no something there. So now it is a high time to start thinking that it is necessary to add in campaign for the pilot of deck aircraft. I hope it will turn out to light to this question one of the following versions.
-

Now this parameter doesn't work. The algorithm of casual planes from Pacific branch is used. Probably later I will include it when I will complete everything that I plan to make for casual planes.

I wish we had possibility to choose a base on every map which we want to use. For example, I'd like to fly a II./JG 54 campaign when this unit was stationed in Finland in summer 1944. Now it's not possible (or at least I don't know how to do it).

On Leningrad map, FAF units always operate from bases north of Gulf of Finland, and Luftwaffe units from bases south of the Gulf. This is correct for most campaigns but I want to start a campaign of a Luftwaffe unit (II./JG 54) from a base north of the Gulf. DGen doesn't allow it. It must be hard-coded somehow.
My general idea is to allow a player to select a base from which he wants to start his campaign (now it's assigned randomly).

Yes, start of Finns and Germans in the North and the South is stitched in a code. Try to use UseParkedPlanes.

I haven't tried it yet, but creating a settings file for the campaign and disabling unwanted airfields might also work.
-
After I disabled all airfields south of the Gulf, I got error message "DGen: can't pickup starting base".
Anyway, it's not a big problem, just an example that selecting a starting base manually could be a useful feature. UseParkedPlanes doesn't always work as it should.

I think that will turn out to realize alternative algorithm of selection of airfield and not only for the player, but also for AI. I will work over it improvement later. :)
-
Thanks! By the way, could you also change the way a player advances through the squadron ranks?
It would be more natural to start a campaign as number 8 (tail-end Charlie), then get promoted to a leader of the second pair (number 7), then a leader of the second flight (number 5), and so on. Now I have to fly as wingman almost until I get promoted to squadron commander. I'm often the highest-scoring pilot in the squadron but I have to fly as wingman to some AI pilot with less experience, fewer kills and lower rank.
-
Dear Asura,
A lot of work you've made on this, but I can't start any mission, or can't exit at the end.
After I instaled, at first a lot of dat files missed (Allweapons, then Allplanes etc.) by the latest DGen.exe, then missed every plane types in error log.
Finally started (renamed the exact files), but frozen after a mission (Boelcke Western Front / France 1940 subcampaign in HSFX). So I gave up.
Please give us a link which contains all of the necessary and latest files, and it works properly.
Other question: are there any other campaign "list" or we can use only the original packages? Because I don't see any other option mentioned above, just the stock DGen campaigns.
Thank you very much! Thanks for your answer.

The generator will be able to process any campaign which is made by the rules DGen. As far as I know now many new campaigns prepare - you watch news. :)
-
Dear Asura,
Many thanks for answering. Can you give some links for teh ongoing prohects using your DGen?
My plan is to make historical campaings regarding to the units way in the war.
So - for example - if you choose II/JG52 you automatically start Poland, then West (France, BoB), finally you get to the Eastern front. We have almost every map, which is need, but actually there is no campaign generator using them. I don't know wheter it can be possible or not.
Ps.: I don't like DCG, because the planes are exploding after start, and there is to many setting oppurtunity. I like campaings as historical as possible. :-)
-
Is there any tutorial about the DGen's ".mis" files?
I'm changing the Coral Sea ".mis" files, but I don't know what some objects mean to DGen.
I have a good knowledge about FMB, but If some friend could give me a link or some explanation about DGen's ".mis" files, I will be very grateful.

Yes it should but it's already there like this:

You have big plans. :) But nothing possible isn't present - really to make everything. In your case it is necessary to look at the campaigns***.dat files - in them information on sub campaigns gathers and their sequence is adjusted. Still the planes***.dat files will be necessary

".mis" files are created in the full editor is a set (template) for creation of missions is more whole. The there are more than different objects on map (in files ".mis") the fighting departures will be more various. In the course of creation of missions the generator chooses the necessary objects from files ".mis" and adds in mission. I will add information in documentation on objects and their features a little later. Something about it was in documentation to the old generator - this part didn't change.

At me is only in Russian. On SimHQ there was a branch the devoted DGen and information from it was collected in one file. Maybe colleagues from a forum have it?

OK the answer to the 239IAP problem lay in the Aces section of the DB file. I erased that and no more problem (thanks Juri!)
I am working on a Donbass 43 Dgen (just so we have a list of what is happening where).
-
Where can I find the old documentation, please?

I will try to summarise as far as possible:
Assuming the battle set is called Orel42 (for example)
You need 2 MIS files called
Orel42Red.mis
Orel42Blue.mis
containing only red and blue objects respectively (although neutral objects like fires and smoke may be included).
The MIS files should cover all the areas used by the Blue side and Red side during the campaign, allowing for front line movement.
Target types:
6+ railway carriages = station
6+ trucks = depot
Radio truck and 4 other objects = Headquarters
6+ Artillery (not AA) = Artillery Battery
Stationary ships = port.
In addition you need moving trains, moving vehicles, moving armour and stationary planes.
I hope this is clear. Any Q just ask.
-

It's a very strange error, because there was no mistake in the Aces section and in other campaigns Aces work without problems.

Have just been reading through those files and they are excellent and really contain all you need to know. Only 2 corrections of note:
1) From the Doc file: In the Schedule section of the DB file, a minus value results in Blue losing ground. In the file it says "your opponent" which may have been specific to that campaign. But minus values are a red capture and plus values are a blue capture.
2) From the HTML file in 2 places it misunderstands UseParkedPlanes=1 and I think it may just be a translation error from the original English text. To clarify: Murmansk, Kurland and Burma have UseParkedPlanes=1 set by default. It is not the case that it only works on those maps. UseParkedPlanes can work on other maps too by adding that line to the Dgen ini file (or here the Dgen_mod.ini file).
I think Asura has been doing a fantastic job and I'm really looking forward to the v2 release (2.0.0.4?) soon.
-
... UseParkedPlanes=1 ...
There's an "historical" misunderstanding about this option which DOES NOT HAVE TRUE (=1) and FALSE (=0) OPTIONS. It just works in conf.ini adding the line (ON) or removing it (OFF). This often caused "inexplicable" game crashes when it was set to =0 as recommended, since program read just its presence and not what set after equal sign, thus UseParkedPlanes=0 works exactly like UseParkedPlanes=1, that's to say ENABLE player's air base location according to parked planes type.
Regards,
GB
-
I don't think that's the case in the Dgen_Mod version 2 and confusingly in the settings file there's also UseParkedPlanes=TRUE which is even more fun :)
-
Anyway the point was that instead of only working at Murmansk as the file said, it's already on by default on 3 maps and can be added to others.
I always use it in my campaigns (which is why I had it added to the maps I made) so I've never tried UseParkedPlanes=0. I wonder if the same is true of other things like HistoricalRanks?
-
Greybeard is right. DGen settings in the conf.ini/Dgen_mod.ini files can't be enabled or disabled by =1/=0.
To disable a setting it has to be deleted or a ';' has to be placed in front of the entry.
Detailed information on the DGen settings in the conf.ini and DGen_mod.ini file can be found here:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?1539

OK cool.
I'm guessing that the =1 =0 thing is probably my fault historically. I've been telling people that for years :)

Well, it looks like a very old bug. :)
But it is good to know.

I need working drop tanks to test my Solomons and Hungarian campaigns, so I would prefer to have them in 2.0.0.4. But if adding the drop tank feature will take too much time, it might be better to wait till 2.0.0.5 and release 2.0.0.4 without it.

What does NoLocalPlanes do?
-
I run around like a mad. :) On the one hand I corrected the main mistakes and I can lay out 2.0.0.4, but I yet didn't make part of a code which is responsible for emergence of suspended tanks. How it is better to you to make - 2.0.0.4 now but while without tanks or later but with tanks?
I need working drop tanks to test my Solomons and Hungarian campaigns, so I would prefer to have them in 2.0.0.4. But if adding the drop tank feature will take too much time, it might be better to wait till 2.0.0.5 and release 2.0.0.4 without it.
I would agree with this ...
-
I wonder if the same is true of other things like HistoricalRanks?
Yes, it is. The same also for UseParachutes.

It is the parameter which includes or disconnects use of data from PG_Balaton1Planes.dat files. Possibly further I will move away him. Those parameters which now can be used are in detail described in the instruction. ;)

Asura, some time ago you said that the new DGen will be able to generate only a few, selected mission types, even one mission type. Is this feature being implemented?
Recently I tried to recreate Battle of Britain scenarios, and the RAF fighters, instead of defending London against Luftwaffe bombers, keep flying offensive missions to the other side of the Channel. When I removed all their offensive missions from the ops file, the game froze (I hate it).
I think DGen is best at generating tactical, close air-support campaigns - Red side bombs artillery, Blue side attacks a bridge, and so on - but it's no good at generating strategic campaigns, when only one side is offensive, and the other side is only defensive.
I was thinking of making a DGen campaign about the defence of Malta, but it's going to be the same problem :(
Another feature worth implementing, if possible:
oDeBombTown 10622:50509 VVS 3F 3F LW 9B 4Y 9B 4F
This line should create a mission, when bombers come in two waves, each escorted by 4 fighters. Unfortunately, only the first group of bombers is escorted (by player and his flight). The other four fighters just fly ahead and leave the other 9 bombers unprotected.

It works, but it is necessary to observe the following compliance - for the chosen type of mission in the template have to be the type corresponding to chosen mission has to have the answering purpose and the plane of the player. For example:
Mission type -oBlueAttackBattery or oBlueReconBattery or oRedDefendBattery or oRedPatrolBattery - The blue fly to red artillery, red it protect.
For this purpose at the radius of flight of the player there has to be his artillery, and the plane of the player has to have the type FIGHTER, LIGHT or ALL. If one of conditions isn't carried out - missions won't be formed.

If you want to receive bombers with cover use Bx or Br - these groups will be with cover. The code B is the independent group of the bombers which hasn't been connected with the following code F
-
".mis" files are created in the full editor is a set (template) for creation of missions is more whole. The there are more than different objects on map (in files ".mis") the fighting departures will be more various. In the course of creation of missions the generator chooses the necessary objects from files ".mis" and adds in mission. I will add information in documentation on objects and their features a little later. Something about it was in documentation to the old generator - this part didn't change.
Where can I find the old documentation, please?
santobr.
This is probably the documentation that is being mentioned.

but the Bx or Br does only create fighter cover with two or four fighters, that´s not very realisitc; the same problem exists for heavy bombers missions

I have the same problem. If I am flying Stuemovik and I have 6Y 8F then only the first 4 fighters cover me and the other 4 fly ahead. Sometimes I don't mind too much as they tie up the enemy over the target but it's not really what I'm after. The neatest way would be to have the second flight of fighters to cover the first flight so the escort is stacked by altitude.

OK, thanks for clarification :) Let's say I want only two type of missions, oRuPatrolAF and oRuPatrolTown. The only condition is that there has to be a town and a friendly airfield within the radius of flight of the player? How this radius is determined?

Another feature worth implementing, if possible:
oDeBombTown 10622:50509 VVS 3F 3F LW 9B 4Y 9B 4F
This line should create a mission, when bombers come in two waves, each escorted by 4 fighters. Unfortunately, only the first group of bombers is escorted (by player and his flight). The other four fighters just fly ahead and leave the other 9 bombers unprotected.
My suggestion for the future:
A fighter group after a bomber group in the ops file should always fly escort for the bombers, no matter how many bomber groups are in the ops file line and no fighters should fly ahead of the bombers.
Example:
9B 8F 6B 4F
This should create two bomber groups one escorted by 8 fighters and one by 4 fighters.
Only a fighter group infront of the bomber group should fly ahead of the bombers.
Example:
4F 9B 8F
This should create 4 fighters flying ahead of the 9 bombers and a bomber escort of 8 fighters.
-
but the Bx or Br does only create fighter cover with two or four fighters, that´s not very realisitc; the same problem exists for heavy bombers missions
This issue should be resolved separately. Now only the first pair of parameters unites in maintenance. For example VVS 9B 3F 9A 4F - 3F will accompany 9B, and 9A and 4F will depart to the purpose separately.
-
I have the same problem. If I am flying Stuemovik and I have 6Y 8F then only the first 4 fighters cover me and the other 4 fly ahead.

The neatest way would be to have the second flight of fighters to cover the first flight so the escort is stacked by altitude.
It is a known problem, it at me long ago in "to do" list. :) Let's solve :)
-
thx for reply Asura
much like this, for the heavy bombers there is no fighter escort staying at the heavies, even if you have set it to 26hB 12F in the ops file - the fighters are flying in front of the bombers and don´t escort them, is it possible to fix this (in the future, with your to do list)?
-
My suggestion for the future:
I will try to make it. Most likely in 2.0.0.6 or 2.0.0.7
-

Yes of course, it will be uniform system not dependent on type of planes. I think the solution which was proposed by Juri_JS will approach best of all. It is necessary to look only as it it will be coordinated with the current ops files.
-
I will be grateful for further bug reports. :) At 2.0.0.5 I will complete drop tanks system and I will add files with data for DBW 1.71.
-
One thing that needs to be discussed is what happens with such entries:
6B 4F 4F
Should both 4F group escort the bombers or just one and the other group should fly ahead?
-

Perhaps this is the right solution to what Ian proposed: "The neatest way would be to have the second flight of fighters to cover the first flight so the escort is stacked by altitude."
I imagine a following setting: 3B 8F 8F 8F, a RAF 'Circus' type mission, with bombers as a bait and three levels of fighters, close escort, mid escort and high escort, each keeping eye on the one directly below.
-
considering the example from juri_js in post #552, this would be the way, in this logical structure 3B 8F 8F 8F means all the fighters would be staying with the bombers
-
Before making the decision I advised to work these questions in the full editor. It is simple to me to set multilevel maintenance, but game doesn't observe the instructions given to it. One of the reasons why didn't make so earlier, is that fighters of maintenance start manufacturing "snakes" and when "snake" on "snake" result is imposed to predict difficult. Collisions are possible.
-
I have made several missions like this and generally you don't get collisions because the different flights are stacked by alt.
You do get collisions if one flight guards some bombers and another guards other bombers in the same formation. That is why I use altitude stacking. So 6Y 8F has your Sturmoviks escorted by 4 fighters who are themselves escorted by 4 fighters above them.
-
Something that I noticed using the new features (ntB and ndB) was that it is impossible to make scramble missions in carriers vs carriers campaigns without ntBr and ndBr.
santobr.

Collisions are possible.
Maybe it will be necessary to limit the number of escort fighter groups per bomber group to one.
In this example - 9B 12F - it will not be too complicated to give the three four plane flights different altitudes to avoid crashes.
Things will get complicated when we have something like this - 9B 8F 8F. I think in this case it is better to let only the first 8F escort the bombers and let the second 8F fly ahead.
-
Hmm, tricky. What happens with 4B 8F?
And the advantage of 4B 2F 2F is that you can get (for example) Mig-3 and I-16 escorting the bombers.
-
I'll be happy with one escort group per one bomber group as long as we can have several groups of bombers flying in waves, each group escorted by more than just 2-4 fighters.
Another problem with having more than one bomber group is that, with air-start type of mission, two groups are sometimes spawned too close to each other and collide. A bigger difference in altitudes could solve the problem.
-
I had still thoughts to divide group on different aero houses 9B 6F 9A 3F - 9B 6F begin with one airfield, 9A 3F begin with the second airfield. Purpose one, flight vectors the different.
-
That would ease the cramped airfields you can get. But it really limits group size. If you want 18 bombers how would you do that then?
-

i´ve tried to solve this problem with different altitudes for the different bomber planes in the concerning xxxx.planes.dat files, after that the situation has become a little bit better but the problem wasn´t realy solved, from time to time the formations collided again when spawning
-

i think the biggest problem for this solution will be the heavy bombers, they can´t take off from most of the airfields
-
For bombers there is a simple decision which is used now - start in air over airfield. hB always begin only in air.
-
The problem with 'hB' bombers (it could be any bomber, a Ju-87 for example) is that they fly too high, and on shorter missions their escort fighters have problem reaching their altitude in time. I wish the 'hB' bombers flew at altitudes specified in the concerning xxxx.planes.dat files.
As for fighters - it would be great to have groups of, for example, 30F, but there's just not enough room on the runway, where they're spawned. And when they're spawned at time intervals (like in PF), the game stutters. Ideal solution would be to make them spawn at dispersals, wait their turn, taxi to the runway, and take off, but I don't know if it's possible.
Another related idea: I wish the airfields had additional parameter (like 1,2,3,4 - 1 by default) informing the DGen.exe that on this particular airfield planes can take off singly, in pairs, in three-plane flights, and four-plane flights. There is enough room for that on many airfields. Besides, several fighters taking off simultaneously, in line abreast, would look so much more realistically.
-
Would be awesome!

100 points to this! Would be really awesome.
-
"hB" at first reflected only for bombers in Il-2:Battle over Europe with air start. Therefore all parameters of a system of bombers are registered in a generator code. For a large number of other bombers addition of a new code will be the best decision.
From airfields it is simply to make take-off in pairs, in three-plane flights, and four-plane flights, as well as a large number of planes. I will gradually develop the generator.
-
Isn't taxi to take off coming in 4.12?
Also, all these discussions show how complex the task of updating Dgen is. BIG THANK YOU to Asura for doing it!
-
As speak in Russia - Na zdorovie! (On health or please) :)
In general the generator does the only thing - creates the text.mis file to similarly full editor in game. It means that everything that it is possible to make in the full editor it is possible to realize in the generator. I with pleasure will add everything in the generator that will be useful for players as itself regularly I pass dynamic campaigns. :) And if you tell me as well as that in the full editor it is necessary to make to have a new opportunity and as it will be written down in.mis the file - I will add this opportunity much quicker. ;)

Small updating https://www.mediafire.com/?3f1z2serlah7612 (https://www.mediafire.com/?3f1z2serlah7612)
v2.0.0.5 (21/02/2013)
+ fix bugs in briefing system
+ fix bugs in calculation of the ships
+ fix bugs in use of files *Planes.dat
Simply replace DGen.exe
-
Can I use the to replace version 1010 or do I need other files too?
-
First install the files from 2.0.0.4:
https://www.mediafire.com/?am4z967x81p87r9
Then install the 2.0.0.5 DGen.exe file:
https://www.mediafire.com/?3f1z2serlah7612
But remember 2.0.0.x is still in a beta stage. If you find any bugs report them!
-
Thank you.
Have noticed there is no AllPlanes.DAT file in either download. Don't we need it anymore?
-
I have a Hs-123 campaign but I notice I am always airstarting (and I do have Takeoffs on in options). For all sorties incl recon etc. What do i need to change here please?
Edit: I found out which number to change in the new file by comparing.
-
Have noticed there is no AllPlanes.DAT file in either download. Don't we need it anymore?
I divided files with data about planes and arms and as appropriate changed algorithms. Now for planes the AllPlaneDB.dat file and is responsible for AllWeapons.dat arms.
Local files *Planes.dat for campaigns continue to be used by - if such file exists - from it all necessary data will be loaded. It can be used for control of a database of planes under concrete campaign.
-
I would add a special request for DGen_MOD about Rufe floatplane.
Thanks to Nimits help and performing some test, I got the idea that Starshoy set DGen to deal with A6M2N just for stock dedicated dynamic campaign "Rufe fighter", where player flys this floatplane from Tulagi to Iwo. It may get only two kinds of missions: Scramble and CAP. Related "ops" files are set accordingly, with only player's flight on Japanese side. So, in these kind of missions, adding a flight to player's one, it can be of A6M2N ... forced to take-off from runway! DGen processes this kinds of mission according to plane type and only if player's one is A6M2N, it places him (and his flight) on water. As a consequence, it looks impossible to have an AI-only flight of Rufe's. It's a pity!
Please, Asura, let me know what do you think about.
Thanks,
GB
-
Generally, there is little use for all hydroplanes in DGen. They would be great for rescue type missions in fighter campaigns - escorted hydroplane flies out to sea, lands as if to pick up a downed airman, then takes off and flies back to base. Meanwhile friendly fighters protect it, while enemy interceptors try to shoot it down.
-
I don´t think that the Rufe float planes are the most worse problems in dgen campaigns, atm it´s much more important to get a full workable dgen.exe which at first has the features from the old/stock dgen.exe in addition with the use of new planes and maps. After that there is enough room for improvements, with the previous mentioned base.
btw, there are a lot of problems with the old dgen.exe like
- no night campaigns possible
- only one mission for each day possible
- problems with bomber/fighter formations/groups like mentioned before
- air/ground start in relation to the number of formations in a mission
- limitations to the number of groups and planes for each group
... and so on
if this can be solved and after this is done i would also be glad to have Rufe floatplanes in the campaigns, but as long as the previous problems are existing it´s of little interest for a campaign builder
-

I have an unfinished Rufe campaign for the Solomons map on my HD, so I like to see the seaplane behaviour fixed too. But I agree that it doesn't have a high priority. First let's iron out the other remaining bugs and finish the final 2.0.0.x version, that is needed to release our current campaign projects. More complicated features can added later.
-
Sorry guys if it seemed I want Rufe as a priority; I agree that a fully working DGen_MOD, allowing new flyables and maps, is the highest priority. I meant my "special" request to be just added to list of things to do in a future. Glad I'm not alone in considering this unique floatplane (the sole fighter one) worth of an interest.
BTW: Boelcke, in PTO more than one mission a day can be played already with stock Dgen. Limit of one you mention applies only to ETO.

For Asura,
(But others please contribute their views)
It would be nice to have an accurate loadout situation so that we don't have very odd situations like 109G with WfGr in Russia against Bostons.
In particular:
- Yak-1: no rockets used after May 1942
- Yak-1b: no rockets were used.
- Yak-7b: no rockets used after May 1942
- Messer 109G6: Mk108 30mm prop cannon never used by Finns
- Messer 109G6: 30mm cannon wingpods only used by Germans (not Finns, Italy, Rumania or Hungary)
- Messer 109G6: WfGr only used by Germans and only over Germany. Never vs Russians so if enemy=Russia then delete please
- Messer 110: same re WfGr.
I am sure other examples will come up. I don't really know about US planes for example.
Thank you

@Ian
For historically accurate loadouts you can create individual *planes.dat files for every sub-campaign.
@Boelcke
More than one mission per day in ETO campaigns is already possible in the latest DGen version.
-
@Ian
For historically accurate loadouts you can create individual *planes.dat files for every sub-campaign.
Exactly, that's why *planes.dat files are so important. Without them campaigns often result in a mess, anything can pop up.
-
Is there a file with everything in so we can erase what we don't need or do we have to build each time?
-
When I look at a dat file in the Dgen folder it has a lot of spaces but allplanes.dat has semi colons. Which do i use?
-

no, use the plane.dat files for the loadouts in your campaigns

Can't understand what is utility to point out errors if errors remain there.
1) Go to MOD/Message folder, make a copy of "It_MessageEn" file and rename it "It_MessageRu". Make a backup of whatever you overwrite.
2) Open AllWing.dat file (in MOD folder) and change "356Squadriglia" to "356squadriglia" - with small "s".
Hope that helps.
I generate campaigns for the said unit with no problem, and have briefings in English.
-
There is a new option inside dgen.ini included in the download for language, we don't need to change the files anymore.
Remember that this Dgen is in beta stage, bugs are expected.

P.S.: now I can't start ANY Italian career; game locks up on loading screen (empty) right after I click on "start".
On the bright side, I started a IJA campaign; first segment - Singapore2 - gave me beautiful missions, including PBN and Australian Hurricane, as opponents, never seen before on this map. Option "Language=English" in DGen_mod.ini worked: briefings of IJA campaign are in English.

I just want to remind everyone here that it is necessary to do a proper bug report when an error is encountered in DGen, so Asura can fix it. Usually this means, that the DGen_mod.log, DGen_mod_proc.log and DGen_modERROR.log files of the mission that caused the error have to be send to Asura, with a detailed description of the error.

Absolutely correct and I agree. Unfortunately, that kind of error gives NO ERROR files: system just locks-up. I can only hit CTRL+ALT+DEL to get Task Manager and force program to quit. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong and/or I can do something better.

When no error file is created the last lines in the DGen_mod.log and DGen_mod_proc.log can give an information at which point of the mission generation process DGen stopped working.

I absolutely agree with you Boelcke.
Greybeard, please remember that
1) Asura is doing a fantastic job for free and we should appreciate him very much.
2) You are not paying for anything so have no right to moan.
3) Many of us have been friends for 10 years and get annoyed at people who criticise those who do the work.
4) If you are happy here, please continue. If not, please leave.

We all can take constructive critique but no reason to be angry with a guy whos doing you a favor.
If you see that a bug is not fixed simply report it again.

OK, thanks. I'll try again and report.
During my IJA campaign I got Blenheims with Japanese markings (red disks and big numbers): what i did wrong? Subcampaign I was playing is Singapore2.

It may be that no reconplane is listed in the Japanese side. I seem to remember something like that.
Assign a Japanese plane to recon type and see if that fixes it.

Now IJA campaign "beeped" at mission end (with empty briefing screen). DGen_modERROR report at its last line:

it looks operations are picked from opsSingapore2.dat, but it has no "blue" operations - only "oJp" ones! All that I learned so far seem of little or no avail...

Greybeard, I understand that you are frustrated with the problem you are having but it doesnt do anyone any good to make complaints in the manor you have been posting. Ian was correct in his post on the last page of this thread. You need to remember that modders do all this for free and take many hours out of the life to make these mods and they post them here for you to use for free.
Constant complaing and what can also seem as belittling the maker of the mod is considered very rude. I'm sure you would not like a response of " learn to fix it yourself or shut up" so please try to control your frustration and list the issues you are having but try to do it in a more constructive manor.
If not, we will have to take actions that we really dont want or enjoy having to take.

2). Mission loading fails with error message "Can't load Regiment "356Squadriglia"". I saw this glitch was been already pointed out without a solution. >:(
Likely I not in all places still disconnected comparison match case, though rechecked several times. Send me the Italian campaign in which there is this mistake I surely I will correct.
After association of branches still there were code sites which were insufficiently tested and they should be debugged. Pleases that corrections which now become form a basis for further development - I don't plan to copy once again a program kernel as it was upon transition with 1.0 on 2.0, it suits me and for 100% is available to further development.
Thanks to all participants of tests - you very much help me! Well and small irritation it is possible to understand - all want the best and at once. :)

Now IJA campaign "beeped" at mission end (with empty briefing screen). DGen_modERROR report at its last line:
OpCode not found: oBlueFTransfer
it looks operations are picked from opsSingapore2.dat, but it has no "blue" operations - only "oJp" ones! All that I learned so far seem of little or no avail...
After association of branches in the generator I replaced old division into Ru/De and Us/Jp with universal Blue/Red. In documentation I will write as to versions 2.0 these values it is possible to use in files of campaigns.
Concerning a mistake - you pass standard campaign or author's? Send me it, I will check in what a problem. And still add the confja.ini file from the DGen folder.

Since it is stock, anyone already has KhalkhinGol's map files Towns.dat, AF.dat and BR.dat?

I am working on a Khalkhin Gol campaign.
Great! In the meantime, I did myself the KhalkhinGol's map files Towns.dat and AF.dat. Now I've the campaign complete (campaigns, DB, planes, classes, squadrons, blue and red missions) but unfortunately... it does not work! :( Campaign is generated, but it "beeps" and briefing screen is empty. ERROR log reports: "Can't select target type".
I sent you a PM - please read.

You have stationary trains, armour, trucks, HQ?
You have enemy within 100km?
You have recce and transport planes on both sides?
-
One potential problem with KG campaigns may be the date issue as it is outside 41-45.
-
The date format was already modified.
Example:
old format = 20506
new format = 19420506
santobr.
-
I've stationary and moving objects, but no trains. What are armour and HQ?
I do have enemy close enough.
I do have recon on both sides but no transport planes. Do you mean DC-3 or alike?
I exploited Asura's DGen_mod capability to deal with dates outside 41-45 setting his own date format YYYYMMDD (e.g.: 19390520).
Thanks for your kind hints,
GB
-
Armour = group of 6 tanks.
HQ = Radio truck and 4 other objects like trucks.
Transport planes - Ju52, Me323, DC-3, Li-2, whatever the Japanese DC-3 is called.
-
Currently, DGen_mod in ERROR file gives me list of ALL targets =0 and I doubt of this, since in other part of log file AF are listed, for instance, so can't be AF=0. Could be a DGen_mod glitch.
Anyway, since now I learnt that Juri was already working with Asura to a Khalkhin Gol campaign, we agreed that was useless and virtually chaotic do same thing twice. So I'll wait for Juri's almost complete campaign, to pick, with his permission, some parts for mine.
Thanks for your kind help,

Have just come across exactly the same thing - it was an error in the PlanesRuE.dat file (for choosing your plane in the campaign).

Making slightly slow progress in the second chapter of my Donbass Dgen - I keep getting distracted by actually enjoying the flying so much!

Has the problem with the aces section been solved?
-
Yeah, I deleted it. Never much liked it anyway. You get attacked at your base only and then your 8 planes and all the light AA gang up on 2 planes.
-
Did Asura say anything about the aces problem? It is strange, that aces work in all other campaigns, but are causing an error in your Donbass campaign. There must be something wrong that needs closer investigation.
Btw, you can also encounter aces during a mission, not only directly after take off.

I'm using DGen_mod2.0.0.5.
In Juri_JS Solomons Campaign,
When debriefing,there is nosound.
Is there any solution?
-
Do you mean the sounds that can be heard during briefings/debriefings? I also noticed, that these sounds disappear after flying a Solomons mission. It is not possible to influence these sounds with the DGen campaign files, so the problem is either caused by the DGen.exe file or by the game itself. That is something that needs to be checked by Asura.
By the way, at the moment I don't recommend to play my Solomons campaigns with DGen 2.0.0.5, they are not fully compatible. I will update the campaigns when the final version of 2.0.0.x is finished.
-
Thanks for reply.
Yes. I mean that you said.
And OK.
Use 1.0.0.7.
Thank you.

I have a question about new ships/tanks/vehicles included in the HSFX 6.0 (or any other mod pack). There are many such objects which I want to use in my campaigns. However, some are either ignored by DGen as targets or they cause DGen to freeze.
My question - is it necessary to add these objects to the lists of objects stored in DGen/MOD (Amphibious, Tank, CapitalShip, Carriers and so on) to make DGen recognize them? For example, there are great-looking landing crafts included in the HSFX but when I added them to a campaign template, the program froze. The log showed that the program got stuck after the line: "ClusterList count", when it was supposed to generate the line: "FleetList count".
-
Hi guys!
I uploaded at M4T a renewed and dedicated version of "Asia for the Asians!" just for Asura's DGen_mod v1.0.1.0 (included into download). I've not fully tested it in UP2.01 and couldn't test at all in HSFX: please consider it a beta. I would be glad to receive your feedback by PM, not to "clog" this thread that must be reserved to current Asura's work.

Hi, everybody! I wasn't gone, a lot of work and very little free time was simple. :) Now peak behind and I continue work on the generator. Tomorrow or at the beginning of the next week there will be the following version in which I added drop tanks support for the plane of the player and AI. Now actively I check and I correct the errors sent by you.
greybeard
I checked your errors - in my version of the generator (2.0.0.6) the error of "Can't load Regiment "356Squadriglia"" doesn't repeat, but I faced other problem - if the file the name is written to mis with capital letter - 356Squadriglia - game doesn't load mission. I replaced the name in AllWing.dat.
Concerning Japanese campaign (Green Hell):
1 . In sections [Squadrons] in skin:RRG_11 Sentai lines - 1 Chutai.bmp can't be gaps (RRG_11th_Sentai_1st_Chutai.bmp)
2 . After removal of lines with gaps at me campaign earned without problems.
Try these campaigns once again with future version 2.0.0.6
-
I closely approached to bringing an order to formation of groups of planes. Initially in the generator the simple scheme which contained in lines of the ops files was put:
oMissType RED Group1 Group2 BLUE Group1 Group2
Group2 always carries out protection (cover) of Group1. If the group one it carries out a task in itself. Now there were difficult designs from several polytypic groups. The generator certainly forms them, but interaction of these groups is completely broken after the first couple.
Let's think up convenient algorithm which will unambiguously process sequence of groups in the line ops. And still we will establish what there has to be an interaction of links in group. I wait for your offers.
-
To quote myself from a few pages ago (slightly edited):
My suggestion for the future:
A fighter group (F) after a bomber group (B, dB, hB, A or fB) in the ops file should always fly escort for the bombers, no matter how many bomber groups are in the ops file line and no escorting fighters should fly ahead of the bombers.
Example:
9B 8F 6B 4F
This should create two bomber groups one escorted by 8 fighters and one by 4 fighters.
Only a fighter group infront of the bomber group should fly ahead of the bombers.
Example:
4F 9B 8F
This should create 4 fighters flying ahead of the 9 bombers and a bomber escort of 8 fighters.

Honestly, I had already tried both uppercase and lowercase "S" for "356Squadriglia" with no success: I shall try with your newer v2.0.0.6.
You are right about spaced skin name: now I corrected it and must retry.

How to process the following designs?
4F 9B 8F 4F
9B 8F 4Y
4A 4A 4A 4F 4Y
There is a lot of options :)
-
In my opinion in all these cases the last 4F or 4Y groups should be independend fighters, without an escort duty, because they are not directly after a bomber group. Which will make them fly ahead of the bombers in the mission (if their speed setting in the *planes.dat file is high enough).
Making them escort fighters for the escort fighter group infront of them or the bomber group that already has escort fighters wouldn't be a good idea, because it would create a large number of circling escort fighters, which will surely cause collisions.
-

Very much so! This is how USAAF flew over occupied Europe late in the war, sending large formations of fighters to clear the path for the heavy bombers, all the way to the target.
-
I agree.
A bug that I noticed in my Coral Sea campaign is that some bombers are starting to flight almost at the sea level in the begining of the "attack carriers" mission.
The result is 3 or 4 bombers crashing on the water every attack mission.
I have a doubt.
How the links in "CoralSea.DB" work?
For example:
oUsIntercept oUsBombCarrier 0 oUsBombCarrier 0
What can happen when Dgen reads that line?
Thank you. :)

I think this mistake I corrected at 2.0.0.6 - sometimes the generator put down to groups the initial point at the height of flight of 0 meters. Check this situation with the new version if it to repeat - as always log files are necessary to me :)

I while disconnected in 2.x the linked missions, these algorithms should be copied taking into account full association of branches. It is enough lot of work and as this part of the generator is used quite seldom I I postponed this work until more convenient time.

I offer such option of processing of groups:
RED G1 G2 G3 G4 G5 G6 G7...
In G1-G4 groups if the fighter or player code as the fighter is faced by a code of the attacking plane - the fighter or the player will carry out cover. G5-G7 groups... work separately.
1B 2F 3B 4F 5B 6F 7F - 2F escort 1B, 4F escort 3B, 5B 6F 7F - separate groups
1B 2F 3B 4F 5Y 6F 7F - 2F escort 1B, 4F escort 3B, 5Y 6F 7F - separate groups
1B 2Y 3B 4F 5A 6F 7F - 2Y escort 1B, 4F escort 3B, 5A 6F 7F - separate groups
1F 2F 3B 4F 5nB 6nB 7nF - 1F 2F - separate groups, 4F escort 3B, 5nB 6nB 7nF - separate groups
1F 2B 2B 4F 5nB 6nB 7nF - 1F 2B - separate groups, 4F escort 3B, 5nB 6nB 7nF - separate groups
1A 2A 3A 4A 5F - all separate groups
1Y 2F 3F 4F - 2F escort group of the player

Why are G5 and G6 separate groups and not bombers + escort fighters? If separate G5-G7 groups are needed in a mission, they can be created by this line - 6F 7F 5B.
-
Yes, please, I agree with Juri. :)
I think if a fighter group have a bomber group before, even if the bomber's group is the Player's group, the fighter group needs to escort that bomber group.
If separate bombers or fighters groups are needed we can put the bombers after the fighters in the end of the line and everything will be OK. ;)

This feature is essential for PTO.
For example, in Coral Sea's campaign, the course of the battle is defined by the recon airplanes.
If a recon plane reach the recon target (carriers fleet in this case), an attack will be imminent in the next mission, even if fighters shot down the recon planes later. ;)

Transfer of changes bad, I hope something it will be clear. Next week I will add a correct translation of the list of changes.

Concerning groups: we adopt such law - if the attack plane is followed by the fighter - the fighter always covers the attack plane.
How to be with plane of the player? If the player - a bomber, acts the previous rule. If the player the fighter and follows it fighter group - it is necessary to cover the player?
4F 4Y(F) 4F
-

4F 4Y(F) 4F
When the 4Y are bombers, they are escorted by the last 4F group, the first 4F group will fly ahead of the player's flight.
When the 4Y are fighters, there will be three separate fighter groups. No escort for the player's group.

I think fighters will never escort fighters in the role of fighter.

ok thanks i will have a look there
-
I think fighters will never escort fighters in the role of fighter.
I think historically this is not quite correct: there are many possible examples, from WWI to Vietnam. Consider, for instance, Spitifire's covering Hurricane's attacking German bombers during BoB, or famous "blue" Bf 109G-10 protecting Fw 190 "Rammjaeger" of Reichsverteidigung.
GB
-
indeed. Or bf-109 escorting 110 heavies towards the bombers or fighters protecting fighter bombers like the Fw190F8.
-
Fighters can fly at the same velocity if you make the right changes in the "dat" files.
They can fly together in a mission, they will protect each other, it's a kind of fake escort. :)
Bombers need escort because they are slower, the fighters will go ahead if they are not escorting.
Fighter-bombers are not "F". ;)

v2.0.0.7 (29/03/2013)
+ some bugs fixed
-
At the moment I corrected all known errors and came a few to develop time functionality of the generator. That is planned at 2.0.0.8:
1 . Management of time of day, global and for separate campaigns. It will be possible to establish the borders day/night and for example to make campaign of the night fighter.
2 . Management of weather conditions for separate campaigns (for example it will be possible to clean rains but to leave fogs).
3 . To add weather elements which are available in extreme versions of game. The first that is remembered - a wind, but I will try to study in more detail this question and to add everything that is.
4 . To bring an order with groups to lines of the ops files - that it was clear what group whom follows and that does.
5 . Correction of mistakes which else will be.
At 2.0.0.9 I plan to deal with random planes in mission. I will correct collisions of planes in air.
If there are wishes on random planes - with pleasure will listen. :)

Thank you Jedi Master Asura. :)

I´ve tested the V 2.0.0.7 with a new created BoB campaign and had the problem, that frequently RAF Hurricanes are taking off from german airfields in France.
@ Asura: If it´s interesting for you i can send you the files for investigation. Just give me a message.
-
This is what is waiting for you, guys: ;)
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,3623.msg363745.html#msg363745
I discovered why some bombers are crashing on the water, the problem is when there is 8 or 9 bombers in the same group.
If there is an waypoint with a sharp turn to the right, each bomber will dive a bit to avoid collision, in the end, the last two bombers will dive too much and will crash on the water.
It is occuring only with Devastator torpedo bombers.
The solution could be more altitude or less sharp turns when flying low, but I think less sharp turns will be more difficult because all flights have the same 3 waypoints to gain altitude in the begining.
Another bug that I noticed is sometimes one carrier is substituted by another ship, the carrier wasn't sunk in the last missions.

ok thx, will check it :)

just tested my Defense of the Reich campaign with the new dgen.exe 2.0.0.7 ... and i´m quite happy!
the fighters are now a real escort, spwaning together with the heavies (!) and the repetitive recon intercept and free hunt missions are now obsolete (!) ... very good, i will alter the missions and DB files and release a first Beta for Asuras dgen.exe - many thx for making this possible :)
-
By the way, it's now also possible to set airstart points in the red and blue template files of European campaigns. Which means every map can now be used for airstart missions. This could offer some interesting campaign building possibilities.

Great news !
I may recheck it when I am back

some more questios ...
i´ve tried to add some more planes to the files in the MOD folder, into the allplane.dat, allclssses.dat, etc. ... for example the Hurricane IId and put this line into the allplane.dat
HurricaneMkIId;Allies;1;England;USSR;None;1;FBomber;None;None;None;1000;220;318;0;0;0
i´m not sure if "FBomber;None;None;None" is ok - or has there to be a specific order for it? And havee all planes which are in the allplane.dat and allclasses.dat to be also in the allweapons.dat file, it looks to me that the xxxplanesxxx.dat files from the concerning campaigns are enough?
I found a problem with the P 36 in the plane.dat file from the MOD folder. The P36 didn´t work for France, i always got the message "can´t find P_36A". The P36 is listed in the plane.dat files as Axis plane, nation Finland:
P_36A3;Axis;0;Finland;None;None;0;Fighter;None;None;None;1000;310;454;0;0;0
adding France to it didn´t work. Only changing it into
P_36A3;Axis;0;France;None;None;0;Fighter;None;None;None;1000;310;454;0;0;0
made it possible to make it work in my campaign, but this will avoid it from working in campaign for Finland.
Concerning the settings files: What has there to be if more than one nation is enemy in a campaign? Until now there was the option
[EnemyNation]
concerning_subcampaign England
for example. What has to be there if England and USA are both enemy nations?
-
argh, the game doesn´t use the cruising altitudes from the xxxxplane.dat files
I checked this moment. The generator correctly reads height of flight and height in an attack point from all files. But then procedure of "random installation of height" starts working. The dispersion on ustanvlenny height can from "minAlt/2 + 500" to "minAlt". (minAlt - value of height of flight from the planes files). I think it was made that planes didn't meet at the same height. For a change. And then one more procedure which levels height on all route works that there were no steep slopes and descents. I think absolutely it isn't necessary to clean this part. Can simply limit height change within 1000 meters? Instead of within height half.
-
had a freeze and the last dgen_mod.log file shows this at the end of the file:
...
Dangerous areas - Red:2 Blue:17
any ideas whta´s the problem here?
Further the generator has to read the file *Topo.mis. In cases of lag of the generator proc logs is better to look - there will be the last procedure on which the program freeze.

some more questios ...

1 - The sign that the plane can be used in several countries (MultiNation).
HurricaneMkIId;Allies;1;England;USSR;None;1;FBomber;None;None;None;1000;220;318;0;0;0
Three countries for which the plane can play. Further the generator selects finally the country for the plane from planes.dat files or establishes the country from [EnemyNation] or if the plane has a touch the party that the player - is established the country of the player.
HurricaneMkIId;Allies;1;England;USSR;None;1;FBomber;None;None;None;1000;220;318;0;0;0
The list of roles which the plane can carry out. This list is corrected on planes.dat files.
P_36A3;Axis;1;Finland;France;None;0;Fighter;None;None;None;1000;310;454;0;0;0 - This line will correctly fulfill two nations.
But I would advise not to correct files from the MOD catalog. Later I will add a set of files for DBW in which there will be all planes + additional separate mods. And a problem of several nations I recommend to solve through the DB files.
Old format
[Planes]
10 F4U1A
10 F4U1D SSkin.bmp WSkin.bmp
probability of emergence and plane name, summer and winter skin.
New format - option 1
[Planes]
Allies England 10 F6F5 - can set now a plane nationality forcibly
New format - option 2
[Planes]
Allies England 10 F6F5 --Reconplane - can in addition set plane type (in this example of F6F5 will appear only as the scout)
10 F6F5 SSkin.bmp WSkin.bmp --Reconplane
all combinations work.
Now such option is possible:
[Planes]
Axis Germany 45 BF_109G6
Axis Italy 45 BF_109G6
57 BF_109G6Late
Allies USSR 57 BF_109G6Late
These planes will appear at the same time in missions with the established nationalities.

Thx for explanation, but what´s the matter with the settings file? What has to be there if there is more than one enemy nation existing?
Without a basic description about the files and the parameter it´s hard to create campaigns or test it. The readme from V 2.0.0.7 is from 2.0.0.1.

In the settings file the main opponent has to be specified.

I will prepare documentation as soon as I will finish work on version 2 RC1. It is very big work - correctly to describe all opportunities of the generator, but I will surely make it. :)

Recon pilots were super heros for some battles in PTO. ;)
And super enemies too. :P

Hi, everybody! There was a big loading at work, in the generator almost wasn't engaged. Now became a little more free over time and work proceeds. I corrected the sent errors and I added new parameter in DGen_mod.ini - noWounded. It is parameter includes ignoring of wounds of the player - in the book of the pilot there will be a record about wound, and missions won't be passed.
-
Some more observations:
It looks like the function to exclude airfields in the settings files don´t work on ETO maps. I´m always spawning from the airfield i had excluded. The settings for air-/groundstart in the settings file for allies and axis are also not considered in the campaigns.
EDIT: It didn´t work for me with the DRK_Circus map, North Africa map and the Westfront44 map for example.
The parameter in the mod.ini for the mission distance does also not work, when it´s set to 100 km for example, the distances in the missions are frequently about 200 km or more.
-

Hi, everybody! Development of the next version took more time than there was a wish, but all that was planned is made.
v2.0.0.8 (24/05/2013)
+ added settings for begin and end of the night
+ added weather settings
+ added wind settings in the section [WEATHER]
+ changed groups processing order in ops files
+ KhalkhinGol map data by Juri_JS
+ Manchuria map data by Juri_JS
+ Battle of Britain map (CAN_EnglishChannel) data by Boelcke

In new parameters DGen_mod.ini are added:
NightBeginW=17 - hour of the beginning of night in the winter
NightEndW=7 - hour of the termination of night in the winter
NightBeginS=20 - hour of the beginning of night in the summer
NightEndS=4 - hour of the termination of night in the summer
In the settingsXxX.dat files the optional section [MapNight] is added. For each map of campaign it is possible to determine the time of the beginning of night.
[MapNight]
SolomonsAug1942 Random 17 8
SolomonsOct1942 Random 16 9
The 1st parameter - the map name
The 2nd - type of night missions (Random - old algorithm of definition of possibility of creation of night missions, True - always night missions, False - always day missions)
The 3rd - hour of the beginning of night
The 4th - hour of the termination of night
In the settingsXxX.dat files the optional section [MapWeather] is added. For each map of campaign it is possible to establish probability as a percentage emergence of weather conditions.
[MapWeather]
Wake1943 30 40 16 5 3 3 3
[map] [cloudlessly] [clearly] [haze] [a weak fog] [fog] [rain/snow] [thunder-storm]
Wake1943 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 - always a clear weather.
In the settingsXxX.dat files the optional section [MapWind] is added. For each map of campaign it is possible to establish probability as a percentage emergence of a wind with a certain speed.
[MapWind]
Wake1943 60 30 8 2
[map] [0 - 3 ms breeze] [3 - 8 ms moderate] [8 - 11 ms fresh] [11 - 14 ms strong]
I while will freeze active completion of the generator and I will be engaged in preparation of the detailed instruction on all files and settings of the generator. In version 2.0.0.9 will be it is ruled mistakes and the full instruction of version 2.

Thank you. Finally we have the possibility to create night fighter missions in DGen. :)

Thank you very much, Asura. :)

Some good news.Thank you very much,Asura
-
sounds good, thx, will go on with trials
-
is it possible that something went wrong with this file? All the campaigns which worked with 2.0.0.7 don´t even start, only error messages with "error in modul ..."
-
Do you mean : continuing a DGENmod campaign ?
I seem to have the same problem : I can create one, but I cannot continue it whether and olddgen one or a dgenmod one.
-
i can even not generate a new campaign with 2.0.0.8, everything freezes - when using 2.0.0.7 again all works well
-
No problems for me. I can start and continue all the campaigns I tested so far.
-
sorry, looks like my downloaded zip file was corrupt - trying again
-
ok, downloading again did it ... working now :)
impressions at a first glance:
- in the Defense of the Reich campaign, the allied escort foighters are now staying with the bombers
- Started a BoB campaign and still had some problems with the altitude of the planes; the german bombers are flying at 7000 m and the fighters at low level, even when the fighters are assigned to 7000 m in the xxxxplanes.dat - the players RAF flight also does fly at around 500 m
- attacking ship targets, the bombers flew to the destination point, but no ship appeared, even when ship convois are existing in the mis files; attacking stationary ship in harnours works well
will do some more testing ...
-

Creating attacks on moving ships is a little bit tricky. The target area for attacks on moving ships is always near the ships last waypoint. When the ships route is too long they will arrive too late at the target area. It is best to use shorter routes for ships. On the smaller maps routes of less than 40 minutes are usually enough, only on larger maps longer routes are needed.

I have a bug.
When the mission starts and all the airplanes spawn, I have 36 collisions.
18 airplanes spawn at the same point of another 18 airplanes.
There are no errors or something.
And the carriers are still disappearing.
In the Allies side, the carrier sometimes is substituted with a destroyer, but in the Axis side, one carrier sometimes simply disappears.

Not absolutely understood a problem - on a template there is an aircraft carrier, and it vanishes in mission? If so, check an aircraft carrier route - all points of its route have to is in the territory if though one gets on the territory of the opponent - the generator cleans object from mission.

Yesterday I experienced the same in a DGen mission. There was no carrier and the carrier planes started in the water. When I restarted the mission everything was alright and all planes started from the carrier. So I am not sure if this is really a DGen problem or a mission loading issue of the game.

I met such miracles but only on the modified versions of game.

I am testing DGen in the unmodded version of the game.

What exactly is this, is it a DGEN improvement?
-
What exactly is this, is it a DGEN improvement?
It's basically a complete rework of the DGen.exe file that fixes many of the campaign generator's shortcomings and gives campaign builders new options, for example the possibility to use new maps and planes, that were not supported by the old DGen. But it's not a rework of the old DGen campaigns.
-
heyo, great improvements done, i see!
wouldn't it make sense to link all the latest updates and versions in the opening post?
-
So, i would to play the old old DGen campaigns? I refer in particular the EnJoy’R Patches and his extensives Campaigns (BOE,TLD, OstFront…).

And adding some information about the features of the new DGen in the first post would be a good idea.

man, that stuff is hopelessly outdated, i don´t understand why people are still using this ancient stuff - all my campaigns which are included in enyor´s pack are updated serveral times until today (and BOE and TLD are also outdated and not needed anymore)
-
You´re right Boelke.anicent ist the best word for it..I wait for some new stuff in the next Time from the talented guys like you,Juri_JS,etc. I have really enough from the Stock Maps/Stock Planes in DGen Campaigns.
Btw: @ Giuseppin,take a look at here.The Campaigns in this collection are a bit "fresher" like the EnJoy´R ones.

Yes,yes, i know that these Enjoy’R DGen Campaigns are very old, outdated and sometimes unplayables with the last game updates. I Played your excellentes campaigns, Boelcke, But I'm just playing those old campaigns for several reasons:
-I only play offline
-I only play the Allied campaigns. I refuse to play Axis campaigns for strictly political reasons. (In fact I have never flown in a Focke Wulf or BF-109 not even for curiosity).
- I have not finished more than three or four of those campaigns.
Of course, I downloaded and played other campaigns. All Spanish Civil War I've found (Poltava you are great!) Republic side, obviously. Yes, I'm Spanish.
-I prefer the campaigns with medium or heavy bombers than fighters.
Finally, each player is a world, in a matter of taste there is nothing written. A greeting and thanks for answering. Salud.

Hi Asura!
Thanks for all your great work; the ability to open DGen up for all the new content, official or otherwise is excellent - long may it continue.
I'm using 2.0.0.8 and am having issues with a modified version of the default BoE RAF Fighter campaign over Normandy.
After a lot of tweaking I got some extra squadrons in & successfully generating, put the B11 airfield into the airfield references and got DGen to recognise it, plus I added a custom made NormandyPlanes.dat file to get the fighter bombing Spitfires to fly a bit higher en route to target. All good.
The trouble is actually landing and ending the mission successfully. My airfield is close to the frontlines but definitely in the Red forces area yet I keep getting captured when I end the mission!
I know the capture scripting is based not necessarily on the frontlines but distance to closest ground units but there are many Red units based on the airfield and some within 3-5km of the airfield.
I have re-started the campaign 5 times now, flying out of three different red airfields and the result is always the same - fly mission, land, end mission and captured.
Any ideas?

Hello
I am under HSFX6.017 and using DGEN 2.0.0.8.
My OS is vista.
During the installation process, the installer did not work, I had to do everything by hand.
Now, my problem is that when I create a new campaign, everything works and the first mission is created, but I have a crash to desktop.
If I restart again, my campiagn is not available (but the files under misisons/campaign ..) are there
Any idea ?
Thnak you in advance

The generator receives information on captured of the pilot from game - in eventlog there is a line of" (0) was captured at" if it is - the pilot is considered captured. The front line moves on the key cities from section [Towns] of the DB file. You should deal with sections [Towns] and [Schedule].

Is the new installer working properly? I installed the new version, but got the "BEEP" when I tried to generate any campaign. The error log said "Can't find AllplanesDB.dat" I had selected 4.12 when installing, but that file did not get copied to the MOD folder. I deleted everything, did a manual install, and it seems to be working.

The new version works faster when loading new missions. Tried to spawn with two large bomber formations with 39 heavy bombers each and they spawned without crashes between the formations, that is very cool, i was able to create missions with two heavy bomber formations and one 12 fighter escort squadron. :)
Still one problem is existing, every now and then my squadron is relocation to a new airfield which is in the enemy territory.

Boelcke, I have a question regarding this campaign in combination with Asura's DGen mod.
Is it already possible to get the briefings in an other language as Russian or do I have to wait a bit longer (two weeks) for this?
Sofar, enjoying this immensely, meaning to say: thank you and of course Asura!
Best regards,

Heavy bombers are flying in combat boxes in DGen when the hB entry is used in the ops files. This worked since the BoE addon was release many years ago.
-
Then why is it not present in ANY Dgen campaign around?
-
We never use them to give people like you something to whine about. :P
But seriously, why don't you try one of Boelcke's campaigns.
-
Not trying to whine I'm just shocked!
Ive flown all of Bolckes campaigns, never seen bombers in box formation without Frogs formation mod.
-
I am not an expert on ww2 formations, but as far as I know the heavy bomber formations in DGen are very close to the combat boxes the Americans used during the war. Only the distance between the individual 3-plane flights seems a little bit small.
-
The DBW AI is the problem, in HSFX and stocl il2 the box formation is present
-
I just tested my Hungarian campaign in 4.12 and DBW. There are combat box formations in DBW at mission start, but it seems the AI can't hold their positions correctly and the longer the mission takes, the greater the distance between the different flights in the formation becomes.

I now prepare the AllClasses.dat, AllPlaneDB.dat and AllWeapons.dat files for MOD of versions of game. Without them at me it is impossible to test fully MOD of the version of campaigns. Unfortunately it is very laborious work and there is a lot of MOD planes. :) In the middle of this week I will make a pause in this work and I will look at the current errors of the generator, I will probably issue the intermediate version. I will let out version 2 release after preparation of all files of data and the main intsruktion of the user.

cool, thx for reply, any expansion for the AllClasses.dat, AllPlaneDB.dat and AllWeapons.dat files will be welcome

as Boelke says,Tnx for the reply.! still waiting for the new version.

Summer very hard time for hobbies - while warmly, long day and good weather it is necessary to manage to have a rest, redo the collected affairs, to go to trips. But the autumn will come already soon, so will be much more time for the generator. :)

Long ago there were no new versions of the generator, but it doesn't mean that the project calmed down. All this time of Boelcke, Juri_JS and Motorhead checked version 2 which united all the best that was made for two main parts of game. Now the generator really uniform and as game doesn't depend on theater of operations.
True development of the generator will begin with version 2.0.1.0 - now it is possible to add quietly new opportunities, the base is for this purpose created. According to the link stable DGen_MOD version.

About plans on development I will write a bit later when they will finally be created for now you look new campaigns from Boelcke, Juri_JS and Motorhead for DGen_MOD 2.0 ;)

Hello Asura,
Is your latest version 2.0.1.0 compatible with DBW and 4.10.1 ?
I look that it is for 4.11 & 4.12 versions of the game...
May I put in your latest DGen the AllClasses and AllPlanes For UP3 DBW find in your DGen MOD 1.0.1.0 ?
Best regards and many thanks for your beautiful work, Thierry.
-
Files from Dgen_MOD 1.0.1.0 don't approach for 2.0.1.0. Now I prepare files for use with DBW, it is necessary to wait a little.

This is what I found there:

MaxBomberSkill=0
CampaignMissions=Normal
CampaignAI=Normal
CampaignLength=VeryLong
CampaignDifficulty=Normal
SlowFire=1
PromotionRate=1.9
;Language=English
You can see that the Language line is disabled, I don't know why. All was made through the installer, automatically.
-
so enable that line and start a campaign ...
edit: the installer doesn´t do anything with the dgen_mod.ini file
-
forgot to mention: the DGEN_mod.ini is the same like the former conf.ini for dgen settings
Asuras dgen.exe only uses the dgen settings which are included in the DGEN_mod.ini, you are free to tweak the settings like done before in the conf.ini.

I can't but share very good news! I understood as to reach Java of a code of game and found out as the part which is responsible for creation of dynamic campaigns works. As a result I am known how to add any country in the interface of campaigns and without problems to start campaign for example for Legion Condor. Is wishing to be engaged in such campaign? ;) Naturally it everything for moded of versions of game with an additional set of the countries and squadrons.
-
These are amazing news, Asura...your dedication is outstanding. 8)
-
... I am known how to add any country in the interface of campaigns...
Would be great to have Italians fighting together with Germans already in stock maps (e.g.: sandsoftime) without current inconvenience to have the former with German markings and speaking German on the radio as well! :(

I didn't understand in what a problem. It is possible to pass campaign in the current version of the generator for Italy, with the Italian signs and thus nearby there will be Bf.109 and Ju.87 with the German signs.

I think this is a reference to an old bug : in DGEN, some radio messages were in German even if there was no German in the campaign and only Italian
-

Yes, of course. Actually, I did so for "Africa settentrionale" campaign.
But in a campaign for Germany, with Italian allies these latter often appear with German insignas on their planes and they also speak German on the radio.
I think this is due to original lack of an Italian folder, speaking etc. which caused also sort of missing Italian interface also in DGen.
I can't refrain from complain with Oleg and TD for this shameful lack: even from original "Russian" point of view of IL2 1.0, Italian Regia Aeronautica did play a significant role, for sure not inferior to Finland and Romania, included in game from the beginning, while Italy is still missing even from TD updates.
I would hope that your DGen could fix this.
-
But in a campaign for Germany, with Italian allies these latter often appear with German insignas on their planes and they also speak German on the radio.
You are right.
-
Actually the problem with Italians isn't present. If the plane is registered with the Italian squadron it in missions created by the generator will be with the Italian signs and AI will speak in Italian. It is visible that key value which operates a nationality of the plane is squadron. Unfortunately in all campaigns only one squadron - 356Squadriglia is used; wFighter; Axis; Italy. He destructive and the generator chooses him only for fighters. Other planes in mission receive squadron a cap - g01; wAll; Axis; Germany, universal squadron, but German. From here German signs and German radio negotiations. It is possible to correct it having processed campaigns and dobaviya all necessary squadrons.
-

Ah! Now I understand!
Since the extremely short list of italian squadrons is the following:
i01 [It] Italy (No Unit)
356squadriglia [It] Squadriglia 356 (Fighter)
I guess that adding "i01" to Order Of Battle like in following example won't help:
[OOB]
=i01=Stab_JG27=I_JG27=II_JG27=III_JG27=III_JG5_3=7_ZG26_=8_ZG26_=9_ZG26_=II_StG2=356squadriglia=RAF_No033SQN=RAF_No112SQN=
It is possible to correct it having processed campaigns and dobaviya all necessary squadrons.
dobavleniye=adding (...miracle of Google translator. I don't speak Russian)
What do you mean with "processed campaigns"; I tried in the past to add further squadrons to 356a Squadriglia (of course using your DGen v.1.0.1.0), but program either ignore it or hangs if I choose it as player's squadron (e.g. 79a Squadriglia).
Thanks for your kind attention. Please help Italians to recover their history!
Greetings,
GB
-
i01 too the cap, their generator uses it automatically, but the cap is determined only by the main conflicting countries. If you play for Germany against the USSR, the generator uses only two caps of g01 and r01. For the correct work of Italians in campaign for Germany it is necessary to add in squadrons [OOB] for bombers, transport, etc. and a number of the general, for example:
236Squadriglia;wDBomber;Axis;Italy
59Squadriglia;wBomber;Axis;Italy
388Squadriglia;wAttack;Axis;Italy
2CG-ANR-gto;wAll;Axis;Italy
The complete list of squadrons available in the generator can be found in AllWing.dat

i´ve used a batch of italian squadrons in my MTO campaign, which are working flawlessly as players squadron also

Hello, I'm a new forum user.
Well first, I have some bugs to report, I'm not sure if it's because of any bad changes I made... But I wanted to report here anyways:
1)Sometimes, briefing texts won't get created, I don't know what happened and it's hard for me to recreate this bug, I also don't know if it's on my part or not but it seems to be happening at random right about now. I'll do some more tests on this.
2)In oDeAttackAF missions (played as german of course), the briefing text told you to "attack a german air field".
3)Planes tend to crash into the ground at map start sometimes. Might be my part because I set the ops codes wrongly, but I don't know
For example I have a defend script that proved problematic:
oDeDefendBridge VVS 9Ff 9P 9P 9P 9P 9P 9F LW 8Y 4F
The script worked fine ingame most of the time, but whenever a Bf-110 spawns it will crash into the ground (and always a Bf-110, never have a problem with the Bf-109). Further investigations showed that while the Bf-110's waypoints was spawned correctly, the first waypoint's altitude was set at 0, the reason for the crash. Is it because Dgen wanted to spawn the Bf-110 at the airfield (for take-off), but somehow it cannot?
EDIT: I presume this is part of the well known "planes flying at low alt bug" that remained unable to be fixed right now?
4)I regularly have the "too many planes on airdromes" error. Can you script the way Dgen distribute it's planes for take-off to account for this limit? Also in the case the mission variant Dgen selected have too much planes for airfields to support, could you script Dgen to forgo that mission variant and choose others?
The "too many planes on airdromes" is quite a serious bug/limitation of Dgen that severely limits the plane count of each mission variant... It would be nice if you address this.
And secondly, I need to state the real reason why I wanted to post in this thread: some suggestions for future versions.
Some time ago I tried to mod Dgen for personal enjoyment, only to be put off by various hard-coded issues and limitations with the ops codes. However, ever since I've discovered your revival of Dgen, it is for the first time that it is possible to use many ops codes exclusive for PF (like for example Ff, Br and Bx) in the Eastern Front... something Dgen could not do.
I experimented with these new PF code thoroughly and figured that ops files hold massive potentials in mission designs. Unfortunately, hard-coded limitations in the original Dgen still present, only when these limits are expanded, Dgen_mod can finally generate missions that match the quality of hand crafted campaigns, something DCG can never do.
These are the limitations that are most crippling right now:
1) The code Bx and Br (which spawns bombers close to the target) are extremely useful. It can spawn bombers at will around the target area, creating a wide level of opportunities such as simulating multiple waves of air assaults, missions where you have to catch the bombers on their return trips, etc, etc. However, there are way too much limitations with this type.
First, you cannot specify the amount of escorts (only 3 for LW and 4 for VVS per flight) so it is not possible to do something like spawning un-escorted bombers en-route, or large formations of en-route bombers having adequate escorts. Maybe add a "Bxy" code that would spawn bombers without escorts, and "Bxz" code that would spawn bombers with more than 8 planes escorting?
Second, the direction of the flight with Bx and Br is randomized, while this is great, I wanted more control on where the bombers might come, especially if I want a large formation of bombers to come from one direction. If possible, maybe add a "Bxf" code that would spawn bomber from the same direction as the player's waypoint?
Third, Br and Bx is limited to calling any bomber types (while the By and Bz codes can call HBomber types), I wanted the capacity to call different types like Attack, FBomber, Paratroop, Recon, DBomber as well... If this is achieved, the possibility is endless, like having recon planes acting as a path finder before a mass formation of dive bombers follow it... If you can, could you allow "A", "dB", "R", "P",...,... to have the following "spawn at target" variants like "Ax", "dBx", "Rx", "Px",...,... as well?
2) The Ff code, borrowed from Pacific Fighter, is exceptionally handy for having random fighters approaching the target from multiple directions. It allows you to create everything from random patrols to aerial superiority in bomber missions. Unfortunately, this code is glitched and only work as intended for the attacking side, but not for the defending side, the plane that spawned for defenders will immediately try to land at the closest airfield, instead of been spawned 20-30 kms away. Can you fix the glitch so that the code will work for both sides?
Because of this bug I've always have to rely on the Bx code as a workaround for spawning fighters randomly, it's just not working so well...
However, when experimenting earlier this week, I discovered that this glitch also create interesting results, in airfield attack missions or scramble missions, these planes will try to land at the player field at map start. It's good fun seeing AI fighters strafing planes when they try to land, tons of confusion... :3
So... maybe to preserve this glitch an "L" code to spawn aircrafts that will land at the nearest airfield at map start?
OTHER UNIMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS/ FOOD FOR THOUGHT: This one is JUST a suggestion, but if you somehow managed to achieve this it would be the holy grail of dynamic campaign generation: The ability for the campaign maker to set AI planes to attack the nearest airfields, clusters, etc, independently from the main target.
For example, the campaign maker wants a mission where you as an IL-2 will strike some armor, while a another IL-2 squadron will strike the airfield close to the armor spawning fighters. The code might look like this:
oRuAttackArmor VVS {8Y}:Main {8B}:NearestAF LW {8F}:Main {8F};Main
Where "Main" specify that your squadron will attack (or as the Luftwaffe will defend) the main target of the mission, where "NearestAF" specify that the other bomber squad will attack (or as the Luftwaffe will defend) the nearest airfield from the primary target of the mission.
Think about it, if this is possible you can create complex missions with this setup, like one where you are tasked with attacking an airfield to clear the way for bombers to attack a bridge. But when you start said mission, a formation of bombers attacked your airfield instead, so you either have to choose to engage the bombers or continue with the mission. I know that Random Flights can achieve something similar, but random flights are unreliable, limited, and unpredictable, the above allow you to make the mission looks like a comprehensive air operation that took months of planning...
But since this might take some rewriting of the script, which is something quite difficult to pull off and I'm not expecting anything. So I'm not urging you to do it, in fact doing it might be a venture that could be conflicting with your other plans. But still it is some good food for thought.
In the end. Many thanks for the people that have created, tested, and make campaigns for Dgen_mod, I greatly appreciate all your efforts.
-
Some good suggestions Mark.
Second, the direction of the flight with Bx and Br is randomized, while this is great, I wanted more control on where the bombers might come, especially if I want a large formation of bombers to come from one direction. If possible, maybe add a "Bxf" code that would spawn bomber from the same direction as the player's waypoint?
I think it would be more useful to let Bxf spawn bombers from the direction of the nearest enemy airfield.
By the way, I think I will steal your idea of using Ff flights in missions, I had never thought about this possibility before. ;)

I will consider your offers on further development of the generator. Thanks for ideas. Any concrete completions we will discuss here a little later when I will densely be engaged in completions.
Concerning mistakes - send me missions and the log files that I could check the problems which have arisen at you.
-
I'm building a campaign with your Dgen_mod v.2.0.1.0 and want to thank you for the outstanding work.
I'm particularly impressed by detailed briefings, finally showing all needed information about weather (as well as those regarding flight).
Now we're getting serious!
Best regards,

In plans still there is a lot of interesting... :) I will open a small secret - while at me very little free time and I can't take completion of a big piece yet, but gradually I do some new types of missions, working names - FauRecon, FauIntercept, FauAttack. ;)

Passion is like a fire that burns and warms you, I know what it means, just be careful not to burn yourself! ;D
As a campaign maker, I would beg you to complete current version 2 (which honestly looks to me already a miracle of ability) with needed instruction: files like AllPlaneDB.dat still lacks official explanation, while AllWeapons.dat and AllClasses.dat make me wander in the dark. :)

I've a problem with static planes. I can't get them with Italian national markings (three fasces). They still show German ones (black cross). No matter the type of aircraft: G.50, S.79, Fi.156... all!
The typical line of related [episode_name]Blue.mis is as follows:
352_Static vehicles.planes.Plane$CR_42 2 5979.88 47479.77 439.10 0.0 it
so plane is specified as belonging to Italy RA; this notwithstanding, its insignia remain German.
Same campaign, started with stock Dgen 4.0.8.6 shows Italian national markings on same parked aircraft.
Environment is 4.09 + UP 2.01.
Please, help!

Great work by Asura. Not sure where to post this bug but using DGEN 2.0.0.9 I am not getting credit for any kills during a mission. Neither air to air nor air to ground. In other words after I hit apply at end of mission the summary shows no kill credits. I`m using 4.12.1 with hsfx7.0 but same thing happens just using 4.12.1. It may not be a dgen problem but would appreciate any suggestions.

It is necessary to understand, but the generator of a line of objects takes as is, without changes. Something changed at 4.12 with signs of static planes.

From a few tests I did, I would point out that following statements in DGen_mod Manual v2.0.1.0 (page 3):
"DGen_MOD is based upon the source code of DGen 4.0.4.1 and is fully compatible with IL-2 Sturmovik version 4.071m or above."
and at page 6:
"The old date format is still supported for backward compatibility with the existing dynamic campaigns."
applies exactly with the only exception of campaigns where dates are NOT before 1941; I mean, some episode, like China 1940 in the old Ojcar's "Asia for the Asians", which uses the date format 00913 (13 Sep. 1940), lets start with first mission, but at its end program hangs. To fix, both dates in DB and OPS files must be rewritten in the new date format (e.g. "00101:50814:A" in ops file ---> "19400101:19450814:A").

The problem has nothing to do with 4.12, it is a problem of the old DGen code by Starshoy. When stationary planes of minor nations (Hungary, Italy, Australia, etc.) are placed in the red and blue template files, their nationality is changed in the missions and they appear with German, British or American markings. If you need an example look at my Hungarian campaigns. I have placed Hungarian Bf-109 at Veszprem airfield, but in the missions they show German markings.

Thank you in advance!

Is there any way to change default fuel load for a certain plane? For instance 100% fuel is rarely needed for P51s for most of the missions in game. I'd prefer a 50% or 40% load for typical short range escort missions. Is there any way I can set that in any of the files? User selectable fuel load is only available for squadron and flight leaders. If you start your career at low ranks, you can't set it.
-
... If you start your career at low ranks, you can't set it.
Not exactly. You can always edit mission in FMB, setting fuel quantity for each flight at will.
-
I see. Another question. I edited Allplanes, allweapons and planedb files for P51D25na,which is not a stock plane, but a HSFX plane. When I start the mission, I got a big pink propeller and no cockpit. I know some folks have succesfully added planes into dgen mod. Just wonder what I am missing here?

I'd prefer a 50% or 40% load for typical short range escort missions. Is there any way I can set that in any of the files? User selectable fuel load is only available for squadron and flight leaders. If you start your career at low ranks, you can't set it.
Unfortunately now it isn't possible. Also it isn't sure that I will make it in the future. It isn't possible to make calculation of necessary amount of fuel practically. The expense strongly depends on power setting, and addition in the generator of all parameters of all engines isn't reasonably labor-consuming.

I see. Another question. I edited Allplanes, allweapons and planedb files for P51D25na,which is not a stock plane, but a HSFX plane. When I start the mission, I got a big pink propeller and no cockpit. I know some folks have succesfully added planes into dgen mod. Just wonder what I am missing here?
Check arms for P51D25n in the AllWeapons.dat file. The incorrect arms cause such consequences.

Asura,
I replaced PBN with PBY in a campaign and it works, but the PBY always starts in midair with its engines off, so it soon crashes.
I too noticed that its start altitude is always set to 0 (zero) metres, on the contrary of other "airstarting" planes who get 1000 m.
I'm using your DGen_mod v.2.0.1.0. I added PBY only to AllPlane.DB copying PBN values. Other features are detailed in the *Planes.dat file.
I've PBY in "Pacific War" campaign (still working with DGen_mod v1.0.1.0) where it has no glitches.

Ok, I'll take a look. Btw, did those folks from 242 give you the updated HSFX plane list? I thought they were working on it.

I realized it was the name of the bombs not getting recognized. I tried 2x500lb; 2x500lb bombs etc. None of them worked. How do I get Dgen to recognize the weapons?

The generator doesn't operate behavior of the plane, I faced problems at start of engines in MOD game versions. Check in the simple editor if engines don't work it is necessary to deal with additions.

Add arms in the AllWeapons.dat file, this file the main, and * Planes.dat simply corrects admissible arms and parameters of its application. Because of absence of data in AllWeapons.dat you receive zero height.

Awesome. It worked. Just another observation. For the pacific maps such as Tarawa, the cloud height is so low. Some touch the water. Is there any way that I can put clouds at the right altitude?
-
Btw, how does the campaign know which aircraft to upgrade when I advance from one campaign to another? Is there a file that dictates that?
-
Asura
I added lines for new aircraft in AllWeapons.dat file, but I've still difficulties to clearly understand some expression I found on currently available explanation. I can't find meaning of "weeds to a point", while I just guess that "maintenance" is for "patrol". Furthermore, for some aircraft like Ki-61 I notice ventral tank gets the "true" value (1) at place that in your instruction is for "Torpedo":

Hi all
I have install this mod in order to play the awsome MTO and Reich Defense campaigns by Boelcke over a 4.12.2 + HSFX7
At the beginning the campaigns are superb but I'm having a problem. After play a mission in whatever campaign and press the apply button.
The game freeze and I have to kill it. After that when I try to acces to the campaign I see that this its empty or corrupted... ???
Please, if someone can help me...?
Thanks in advance

Using SAS modact how do I install this Dgen ? Does it goes in the main folder or should I use another one ?

Please read "DGen_UserManual_En.pdf" which comes with DGen_mod.
At any rate, firstly, DGen_mod does not require per se any ModPack like SAS modact (as well as HSFX etc.): it just replaces in the main game folder (usually "IL-2 Sturmovik 1946") stock DGen.exe by Starshoy, working in a different way. Secondly, DGen_mod requires to be installed essentially the two files DGen.exe (obviously the Asura's one) and DGen_mod.ini (this latter can be personalized at will, according to instruction contained inside the above mentioned manual) and its MOD folder, this latter dropped into the game DGen folder.
Of course, you must have done a backup of original DGen.exe, if you want to restore it lately.
That's all,
GB

Thanks, anyway I did read the manual but I just wasn't sure I understood how it works :)

Good day to all!
Can somebody pls give me an AllClasses.dat, AllPlanes.dat, Allweapons.dat etc for 4.10.1 + up3?
All links re broken for v1.0.0.3 (03/2012)?
Thank you in advance!
Monty has included DGen 2.0.0.9 in #DBW_DGen-TFM-MOD-01 which is available here:

guys, that´s an outdated version of Asuras dgen.exe mod, with a lot of bugs and troubles - please do only use the up to date version of the files, version 2.0.1.0 yet, no one on earth can give propper support when people are using various and outdated versions
-
Ok, thanks for the info Boelcke.
I got the impression that version 2.0.1.0 was not to be used for 4.10.1 since there are dat files only for 4.11 and 4.12.
Asura wrote (regarding DBW):
Files from Dgen_MOD 1.0.1.0 don't approach for 2.0.1.0. Now I prepare files for use with DBW, it is necessary to wait a little.
-
Files for DBW isn´t related to Il2 versions, it´s related to the data for the mod planes.
-

Anything strange - simply correct lines of arms, same as the full editor removes. :) To a question of clouds - the generator establishes height of clouds from 500 meters and above and it doesn't depend on map. Can do it there was a haze or fog?

Furthermore, for some aircraft like Ki-61 I notice ventral tank gets the "true" value (1) at place that in your instruction is for "Torpedo":

Hi all
I have install this mod in order to play the awsome MTO and Reich Defense campaigns by Boelcke over a 4.12.2 + HSFX7
At the beginning the campaigns are superb but I'm having a problem. After play a mission in whatever campaign and press the apply button.
The game freeze and I have to kill it. After that when I try to acces to the campaign I see that this its empty or corrupted... ???
Please, if someone can help me...?
Thanks in advance
What in this case is in log files? Also check in conf.ini has to be so:
eventlog=eventlog.lst
eventlogkeep=0

Files for DBW isn´t related to Il2 versions, it´s related to the data for the mod planes.
Sorry but I don't quite understand.
In the DGen 2.0.1.0 zip-file there are two folders 4.11 and 4.12 containing these files: AllWeapons.dat, AllPlaneDB.dat,AllClasses.dat and the manual describes the installation and shows a picture where you are to select program version: 4.11 or 4.12.
That gave me the impression DGen 2.0.1.0 didn't work with other versions.
Does it work with other versions and if it does what should I do during the installation where I only can select version 4.11 or 4.12?
I'm using version 4.10.1 + UP3 + DBW.
-

Put to itself files for version 4.11. All main campaigns will work without problems. Soon files for DBW will be ready, then it will be possible to use additional planes in campaigns.

What DGen_mod really needs is to find data for working planes (essentially, those that you call in DB files of your campaign). Exempli gratia: in the following excerpt from a DB file, you may see a stock plane (green) and a non-stock one (red);
[Squadrons]
IJA_F_S_50z KI_44_IIOTSU
skin:Ki44_50Sentai_Burma1944.bmp
IJA_F_S_59z KI_43_II
skin:Macwan_KI43IIb_Sen59_Chu2_43unmkd.bmp
[Planes]
10 KI_44_IIOTSU $J44_Ki-44-II_Generic_4-1.bmp
10 KI_43_II AI-Ki43-0-1-7.bmp
DGen_mod will search in its AllPlaneDB.dat, AllWeapons.dat and AllClasses.dat related data. Since it can't find KI_44_IIOTSU, you'll get a beep and an error message in your DGen_modERROR.log like: "Can't find KI_44_IIOTSU".
The inverse, that's to say redundant planes in above mentioned DAT files does not harm.
For instance, I play 4.09+UP2.01 with DGen_mod 2.0.1.0 and its DAT files for 4.12, adding required lines for extra planes as I add them to my campaign. Asura's team is working to have sets of DAT files ready for main available modpacks, as DBW, to facilitate their users.

Hi Greybeard
Nice to "see" you here!
Thanks for the information Asura and Greybeard!
Now I understand!

Please, could you explain the meaning of "Go"?
It is usual flight from a point to a point, for example maintenance of bombers, or a transfer on other airfield.
-
That makes me think of a possible imporvement :
Add the initial airfield position of a squadron by adding an "airfield" entry
[Squadrons]
IJA_F_S_50z KI_44_IIOTSU
skin:Ki44_50Sentai_Burma1944.bmp
Airfield : "name of the Airfield"
Obviously, no airfield : as before.
This would give the possibility to add a more historicity and also avoid the case where planes are "spawned" too far from the frontline

not a bad idea but i don´t work when the frontlines are moving and the unit has to transfer to other airfields near to the frontline

It is logical to me that airfield transfer will depend on the situation, therefore due to the dynamic nature of DGEN that the transfer may diverge from history.

A good idea, as long as it is only intended for the players unit. For AI units it will surely cause problems. In my opinion it is also better to put this option in the Settings file.

Boelcke, Juri : you're the expert, so I trust your evaluation of my idea

Asura
Thanks for the kind reply
Jeanba
Don't forget there's a UseParkedPlanes option in the settings file.
-
1- Boelcke told me that in his campaigns, it could create havoc
2- It is not exactly the same here : I am talking about a unit (player unit especially) so thatb I can control its position in the game
-
1- Boelcke told me that in his campaigns, it could create havoc
it can cause havoc when used in the dgen_mid.ini - in the settings file it´s an option for the campaign builder only, that´s another case and does make sense
therfore i have asked Asura some time before to disable the effect from UesParkedPlanes when used in the dgen_mod.ini file
-
Thank you Boelcke, I understand better
-
Boelcke is right: UseParkedPlanes as settings option is for campaign builder only and it has been always inadvisable for user to activate this option from INI file (I mean also for stock DGen).
Being a campaign builder, I got biased. :-[

I have uploaded the plane data files for the HSFX 7 planes, available here:

After reinstall the DGen Mod to the last version in my IL2 4.12.2 + HSFX7.01 when I finish the first mission and press the apply button the game freeze and a window with and application error tittle appears in the screen:
"Exception EAccessViolation in module DGen.exe at 00029DCF.
Access violation at adress 00429DCF in module 'DGen.exe'. Read of adress 000000008."
This happend after the first mission in NAfrica with a bf109E7N. There isn't Dgen_mod_error file!!!!

That happens when you start a campaign in 1940.
You must edit the relevant DB file (should be "Africa40.DB") by NotePad and replace all dates like in the example below:
before
[Schedule]
00801 16
00909 0
01018 0

after
[Schedule]
19400801 16
19400909 0
19401018 0
19401025 0
...
Then start again (not retake) from its begin the campaign, deleting the crashed one.

I couldn't know which was the campaign since Darth_Dooboss didn't specify it. I just guessed it could be same problem I experienced with campaigns starting in 1940, which work with stock DGen and instead give exactly the error described by Darth_Dooboss when played by Asura's DGen_mod.
I fixed them as I described above. So I was sure about cause and remedy, simply they do not apply to your campaigns which look to have peculiar problems.
I already highlighted this compatibility problem: examples are Ojcar's "Asia for the Asians" and Ijekio's "Africa". Was just this latter's DB file that I reported above.

DarthBooth, you are double posting again and again the same ... i mentioned before in my thread that something may be wrong with your install.
You are the only one with these problems, what sense does it make to post it again and again?

My apologies for all the members
I have deleted the mod because trying to solve it I have spend my time to play.

Hi to all! i hope this is the right place to post my question.
I have 4.12.2 with asura's dgen 2.0.1.0, and have a problem with all dgen campaign (but i don't know if this is related with new dgen or some old dgen files): in all missions, with different pilot profiles and with all nations i have the same debrifing message, and is impossible to play a new mission.
i tried to re-install dgen, but without results...
this is my DGen_mod log file: why the game want a "crimea.log" ?

What can I do?
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,39399.0.html

I cannot build French campaigns which work regularly. I mean, I build campaign, regiment is Normandie Niemen, map is Normandy, time is 1940, and all works fine for a few missions. Then all gets messed up: British planes have American markings (and speak American on the radio), French planes have British markings, most missions start in midair, and so on.
Same campaign, when played on British side works well: all missions start on a runway, British are British and French allies are French, always with French markings and speaking French on the radio. There are NO Americans...
-
Did you try NOT using Normandie Niemen ?
-
Did you try NOT using Normandie Niemen?
Yes I did, with no avail.
--------------------------
P.S.: just for info, trying to start same campaign by stock DGen (after proper conversion), this latter gives error:
BOE not installed!
Can't understand why BOE is requested only for French!
-
I think BoE is required for any Normandy dgen campaign, isn't it ?
-
I think BoE is required for any Normandy dgen campaign, isn't it ?
Honestly, I don't know. :-[
At any rate, I found a work-around: just left the British fly French fighters and American the British bombers, BUT setting French skins for the former and British ones for the latter. The only inconvenience is hearing on the radio French mates of secondary flights speaking english and British bomber crews in american slang. :(
Thanks for your attention and help. Greetings,
GB

Asura,
I just wanted to thank you and those helping you for all the work you've done with the DGen mod.
I've been building DGen campaigns for years now, through several versions of the game. They're experimental in nature and only been for my own enjoyment - such as it is - and I've never uploaded them because they are not quite at the quality I would like to have my signature attached to for the public. This is mostly because the default DGen is so damned obnoxiously restrictive in allowing what you can and (mostly) can't do in campaign building! It leaves hardly any room for experimentation, which has been very frustrating.
I've recently downloaded your latest version (v2.0.1.0) and it is a massive improvement over not only the default DGen, but earlier version of your work! Maybe I'll finally be able to create something that's worth uploading now after all. Thank you!
Just a couple of questions:
I noticed that when starting a campaign all of the AI pilots in the players unit get flooded with awards and medals in the first few days of the campaign. Is this a known issue, and are there plans to fix this?
Also, in generating random flights, does "AirIntensity" and "RandomFlights" serve different purposes in the current version of the DGen mod? In the default version of DGen, "AirIntensity" added or subtracted the number of aircraft in the flights called up in the chosen line of the campaign's .ops file for both European and Pacific campaigns, in addition to also generating random flights only on Pacific campaigns. "RandomFlights", however, just generated random flights on European campaigns - it had no effect on Pacific campaigns.
I'm asking if those two commands now have distinctly separate, exclusive functions in the new DGen: Does "AirIntensity" now only have the job of adding extra aircraft to the mission's flights called up in the .ops file, without generating random flights on Pacific campaigns? Does "RandomFlights" now create random flights on both European and Pacific maps? It would be nice to have the flexibility in having distinctly separate configurable functions that control how many aircraft are generated for mission flights, and in how many separate random flights are generated, if any, to equal measure on both European and Pacific maps. The lack of this flexibility was a major sore spot when creating missions and .ops files in the default version of the generator.
Again, thank you so much for all the work. It is very well appreciated!
-
I think RandomFlights has been disabled in v.2: indeed, whilst mentioned in Manual of version 1, it is missing from v.2 one.
I notice that random flights are now generated in all theaters like before in PTO only, so should be function of AirIntensity, which works like before about adding or removing aircraft from ops file mission flights.
Other two functions have been disabled, as stated on v.2 Manual: CampaignLength and MissionDistance.
I think Asura can confirm this.
-
Initial installation of awards and quantity of perfect departures was made for approach to reality - seldom fighting groups were formed of one beginners. Already there were requests to make at the initial stage all group with zero values, it is possible later I will add through parameter in ini the file.
And the AirIntensity parameter works without changes - increases or reduces the predetermined quantities of planes in groups of their ops file.
In the version 2.x the algorithm of RandomFlights from Pacific in which the RandomFlights parameter doesn't work is realized. Completion of algorithm of RandomFlights one of the main immediate tasks after which realization this parameter again can earn.
-
Where can I get the more up to date 4.10 version?

Solved!

Hello Guys! :)
I tried to start Campaign in Kiev (DGen Campaigns by Juri_JS from M4T) in HSFX 7.02 with latest Asura's Dgen_mod. Kiev43 works fine but Kiev41 wasn't created. Game 'beeps' and DGen_mod_proc.log and Dgen_modERROR.log files end with information: "Invalid RED element number: Y".
I tried to find any information about this error but without success. So can someone advice me solution how to fix this error?
-
It seems Asura's DGen doesn't like my opsKiev41-N file. Open it and go to the end of the file. Delete the blank line below the last text and save the file. Please tell me if this fixes the problem.
-
Juri_JS thank you for your solution and for your campaigns! Everything works fine now. :)
-
I dont know if any one else has run into this problem before but after installing this exactly like instructions say to, all my Dgen Campaigns were in Russian.
The solution lies in opening dgen_mod.ini in notepad and removing the ; in the last line so it reads Language=English.

Hi All,
I'm having a Devil of a time getting this to work in IL2 1946 v 4.12.2M/HSFX 7.0. When I use the installer it copies every thing over into the IL2 installation except the DGen.exe file. When I copy that in manually, then generate and attempt to start a stock or custom campaign, the game and the computer lock up and I have the following message on the desktop:
(https://a4-images.myspacecdn.com/images04/1/95248d532f71422096dd34afd01a0284/full.jpg)
I have also installed Asura's Plane Database files for HSFX.
I have this modded DGen working quite well with IL2 V 4.12.2M SAS Modact 5.3.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Scott

you can change MissionDistance and MissionLenght?
-
Hi Tony, Thanks for the reply.
Not sure what you mean. These are not campaigns/careers created by me. It happens with all the stock careers and a couple of Boelcke's after I generate a career and hit the start button (on the page where you can pick what unit, a/c, you want to start the campaign/career with).
Regards,
Scott

Not yet. It will be possible in future versions.

Hi Asura,

Hi Asura
I'm making a campaign in the western front map for the battle of the bulge and I would like to include the B-26 for the USAAF.
Can you tell me what files I have to modify. I got a 4.12.2m HSFX7.0.2.
Other question is if you can set the airfield from what the player can be based in order to do more accurately campaigns.
I have tried to put all the others airfields under the [AC OFF] but doesn't work, you appears in the air...
Thanks for your work

Shutdown of airfields a bad way, use "ParkedPlanes"

Thank you very much Asura for this fast answer!!!
I have tested the parkedplanes and now it works perfect...I didn't know this funtionality.
I put in order to be historically accurate:
[MapWeather]
WF_1944Bulge 5 5 0 0 70 10 10
but the most of the missions are with almost clear
"5 5 0 0 70 10 10" - it is percent of probability of emergence of a certain weather, the sum has to be equal 100.
-
Hi Asura,
I was just wondering if you had any suggestions for the problem I'm having that I posted...?
Thanks,
Scott
I didn't manage to understand yet

OK, thanks.

Any plans about making the RandomFlights and MissionDistance parameters work again? Both of them are very useful, especially the former one which really helps with the immersion.
-
especially the
"missiondistance" "missionlenght" , it is very frustrating having to play one mission per day. If you want to start in Poland 1939, before arriving in Berlin 1945 you will have to play 6.000 missions.

I second this.
Random Flights in particular was great for immersion. A great shame this no longer works.
Also, you might want to reconsider how AI awards are issued. For example, in a German campaign, all of the junior and middle-level AI squadmates are being awarded a flood medals at the very start of a campaign, including Knights Crosses and the further decorated Knights Crosses beyond, for doing absolutely nothing. The default DGen handling of awards was good enough, was fairly accurate, and was user-configurable in the config.ini. There was no need to accelerate it to the point where it is now, as it's now completely unrealistic.
I mostly like what you've done for the new DGen, but now some of the changes are actually hurting the game instead of enhancing it.

What you're talking about is a function of the mission schedule in a campaign's .DB files, and is not affected by Mission Distance. Mission Distance only sets a preference of the distance flown to an objective on the map.
-

I would only point out that RandomFlights is not at all missing: it is harmonized with AirIntensity. That's to say that random flights are still generated, just tied in quantity to general aerial activity. Perusing DGen_mod.log, for instance, often you may notice that a "vulcher" flight may be generated close to player's starting base, simulating an unpredicted enemy attack (of course, I'm not speaking of scramble missions). I think this is an improvement in respect of previous one, as well as the original DGen RandomFlights option, since it is not a "customary" staff flight, soon landing after mission start, and of no significance in mission deployment.

Now that you mention it I've noticed that there's usually one friendly and one enemy flight unrelated to the player. I don't think that that is an improvement however as the sky still feels empty. I remember that with the old DGen I would often see 5 or more random flights and I would often get reinforcements when i requested help, the AI would also engage more forces etc.
It used to feel more immersive than now when there are at most 2 flights from each side airborne over a large air space.

The RandomFlights function often generated more than just the staff flights you refer to, and they were a minority of random flights created. Moreover, no matter how insignificant they might seem to the actual mission, those "returning" staff flights still added a level of immersion to the game that is now missing.
The problem with tying the random flights function with air intensity is that in order for the player to see random flights generated during campaigns, he must also increase the quantity of elements of flights that are directly called for in the ops file. Frankly, with AirIntensity set to high, I'm still not seeing random flights, while the mission-specific flights (the flights and numbers of aircraft specifically called up for in the ops file) are certainly altered.
The latter is not always desirable, especially for European campaigns, and particularly for certain phases of air combat on the Eastern Front.
Firstly, when using the default DGen, and with AirIntensity and RandomFlights being separate functions, increasing Air Intensity actually decreased the chance of seeing random flights generated, even if RandomFlights is set at 5. There is no indication given that this situation has been rectified in any version of the DGen mod. Secondly, eluding to European and Eastern Front campaigns, increasing AirIntensity is not always desirable from an aesthetic, "feel of the mission" point of view, depending on the campaign design. Usually mission designers set up the ops files according to how they want the actual misison-specific flights to be generated, with AirIntensity set to normal, and letting DGen take care of extra generated random flights with RandomFlights set to 5. Setting AirIntensity to High increases not only the number of aircraft in an element, but increases the number of elements within a flight as well (i.e. 4Y becomes 4Y 4F; 2F becomes 3F 3F; 6F becomes 4F 4F, etc.). Obviously, in addition to reducing the chances that random flights are generated, this significantly skews the composition of the mission-specific flights on both sides, and this effect is not always desired, depending on how the designer aims to make a particular phase of the campaign feel.
Everything changes on Pacific campaigns (or any campaign using the pacific mission generation mechanics). In the default DGen, RandomFlights did not function for Pacific campaigns, while AirIntensity still functioned. However, the campaign designer could assign more than one mission a day for Pacific campaigns, something that could not be done for European campaigns. I'm only speculating based on my own experiences using it, but it seems as though DGen Mod uses the Pacific mission generation mechanics for both Pacific and European campaigns, while doing away with the European mechanics (and it's benefit of generating random flights) altogether.
There is a level of flexibility in having separate functions for AirIntensity and RandomFlights that is now lacking in the current setup of tying them together under one switch, which is presumably "have them both or not at all". With AirIntensity set to Normal and RandomFlights set to 5 (for both the default config and the DGen mod config), I fly Eastern Front campaigns on both the latest default DGen (v4.0.8.7), and the latest DGen mod, and I can assure you that the level of random flights generated on the default generator is much more apparent than on mission generated from the mod DGen, where random flights don't seem to ever appear. This is also the case when I set the DGen mod config AirIntensity to high; As expected, I get more aircraft in mission-specific flights, but still no random flights that are out doing their own thing.

Speaking of DGen_mod, I'm getting random flights with AirIntensity set to Low.
However, the campaign designer could assign more than one mission a day for Pacific campaigns, something that could not be done for European campaigns.
It's a while that I'm no more using stock DGen, but AFAIK third number in each [Schedule] row works for both ETO and PTO as follows:
negative (e.g.: -1) = night mission
null (i.e.: 0) = dawn or dusk mission
positive (e.g.: 2) = number of missions in that day
There is a level of flexibility in having separate functions for AirIntensity and RandomFlights that is now lacking in the current setup of tying them together under one switch
Of course. Also, I agree about avoiding to alter AirIntensity, when possible.
-
I just wanted to say that RandomFlights is only partially working at the moment. I am not sure, but I think the setting is always RandomFlights=3, no matter what number is used in the DGen_mod.ini file. But don't worry, the RandomFlights option and a number of other things are on Asura's things-to-do list.

I am trying to add DO 335 V13 to the russian fighter campaign (dont ask me why I want to do this...)
I have changed the ALLPLANES.dat to make the fighter allies-USSR (used definition from another fighter basically)
I then added it to the planesRUF.dat
I can see the plane and able to select it in the campaign creation menu
I am able to generate campaign with the fighter
The troubles start when I am about to launch the mission :
1) I cannot select "Arming" menu, the button clicks but nothing happens
2) when I launch the mission, I stare at a tree with no plane being spawned (I assume). I am unable to control anything/fire guns etc.
What am I missing?
Also, I am running UP3 which has flyable B-17, I tried adding B_17G to the AllClasses as well as changing B17 to USSR, to be able to use it in the USSR heavy bomber campaign, but :
- I am unable to select the plane from the drop down menu when I generate the campaign
- When I force the plane through adding it to the already made campaign (conf and status edits) the Dgen crashes with error message that "The plane cannot be found in AllClasses.dat". While the plane is there, is flyable, and I checked the spelling which is correct (as I was copy pasting, not writing it myself).
-
I am trying to add DO 335 V13 to the russian fighter campaign
AFAIK, adding a new plane to DGen_mod inventory to have it flyable in relevant campaigns requires following steps:
1). Edit AllPlaneDB.dat adding related string (BTW, Do 335V-13 is already included in DGen_mod 2.0.1.0!) wherever you want (preferably in alphabetical order):
DO_335V13;Axis;0;Germany;None;None;1;Fighter;Fbomber;None;None;1800;420;1164;0;0;0
2). Edit AllWeapons.dat adding all required rows (one for each available ordnance, including "default" and "none"):
DO_335V13;4500;4500;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;1;1;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;default;All
DO_335V13;4500;4500;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;none;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;1;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;2sc250;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;1;1;1;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1sc500;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;8sc50;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;8sc70;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;0;1;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;2xab250;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;1;1;1;1;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1sd500;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;0;1;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1ab500;All
DO_335V13;500;500;1;1;1;1;1;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1sc1000;All
This is where I too stumbled earlier; missing rows cause the plane starting mission at low level, with its engines off, soon crashing.
3). Edit AllClasses.dat (mandatory only if that plane is set flyable in AllPlaneDB.dat) adding relevant row:
DO_335A0;true;ALL;0;0;0
Good luck!

Thanks for your answer!
I am doing pretty much exactly what you said,
AllPlaneDB :
B_17G;Allies;0;USSR;None;None;1;HBomber;None;Reconplane;None;3220;290;7500;0;0;0
DO_335V13;Allies;0;USSR;None;None;1;FBomber;Fighter;None;None;1800;420;1164;0;0;0
AllClasses :
B_17G;false;BOMBER;1;0;0
<Default DO line>
AllWeapons :
<Already had entries for DO and B17, which I left as default>
That is my current setup which results in the issues I mentioned earlier.
-
Saska,
do you mean you replaced existing lines in AllPlaneDB and added B_17G to AllClasses?
If yes, you didn't need really all that: you can set in campaigns any plane at any side and any nation, indeed (e.g.: I've in my campaigns Hurricane I, which is Axis, set to Allies, with no changes in AllPlaneDB), you just should set "1" (for "flyable") in B_17G row (in addition to adding the line for this latter to AllClasses, as you already did).
Honestly, I think error relies elsewhere in your campaign construction; you may still try semplifying as I mentioned the two files, then, if error persist, still try asking (although personally I fear to be unable to help).
Cheers,
GB
P.S.: did you make a [episode_name]Planes.dat file?

I appreciate this, Juri. It is consistent with what I have been experiencing.

Hi all
In a 4.12.2 HSFX7.0.2 with Assura last version
I'm creating a pair of campaigns about german jets over the Ardennas. WF44 map
I have created all the neccesary files and the campaign it's running for the Me262A2(debugging phase) but with the Ar234 doesnt work even load.
When I select the campaign the screen only show the background... nothing!!! No beep
In essence are the same files, only change the ops file, to test it I only use this: oDeBombBridge, oDeBombTown, oBlueFTransfer.
I have set the AllClasses file to AR_234B2;true;BOMBER;0;0;0
I don't know WTF is going on... Can someone help me?
thanks in advance

oDeBombBridge and oDeBombTown aren't ground attack missions, they are bomber escorts. You have to use oDeAttackxxx missions in your ops file. Moreover oDeFTransfer is only for fighters, you will need oDeBTransfer.
I don't think it is necessary to change the AllClasses file. It is better not to touch any of the files in the DGen\MOD folder.

Thanks for this fast answer Juri...
But after change all the ops for that you say, and let the MOD folder like the original, the outcome its the same.
After select the campaign, rank and settings, press start...and only the background screen, nothing happends.. :(

Check the campaigns*.dat, planes*.dat and squadrons*.dat files for your campaign. In these files there are values which game isn't able to process. As a rule it names squadrons, planes or subcampaigns.
campaignsDe¤.dat
* Boelckes Kuban campaign
Dynamic campaign for II./JG52.
F_Kuban42 Kuban 1942: Rush for asia
F_Kuban43 Kuban 1943: Kuban 1943
planesDe¤.dat
[F_Kuban42] - these names have to coincide completely in two files by quantity and writing
BF_109G2 - names of planes from air.ini
[F_Kuban43]
BF_109G2
In your situation game yet didn't start DGen as there were problems at a stage of a choice of the plane and the first campaign.
-
Thank you very much Assura... you are the MASTER!!!
In fact, in the process of copy/paste one letter was missing... >:(
I hope that after test both campaign all the people can enjoy of them ;)
Best regards for all the community

Hi all
Im testing my new campaign and always had the same error. Its an armour attack:
oBlueAttackArmor 19390101:19450509 RED 2F BLUE 4fB 4Y
The RED flight dont appear never, the BLue reach all the goals and return and landing, but always a fail in dgen with this caption:
Exception EConvertError in module DGen.exe at 00007902
'[1413' isnt a valid integer
the number between '??' change depending of the enemies destroyed (at, after landing)

Hi All,
I know this problem has been talked about before but I have searched and could not find it. I'm having air starts in Juri's Manchuria Khalkingol Campaign with the SB-2. Could someone direct me to that fix?
Thanks,
Stromboli

It is caused by wrong entries in the AllPlanesDB file for HSFX.
change the line:
SB_2M100A;Allies;0;USSR;None;None;0;Bomber;None;Reconplane;None;2187;210;1130;0;0;0
to:
SB_2M100A;Allies;0;USSR;None;None;1;Bomber;None;Reconplane;None;2187;210;1130;0;0;0

Juri,
Where is the AllPlanesDB file located in HSFX?

In the DGen\MOD folder.

I have a question regarding Asuras Dgen file.
I am currently running Boelcke's Westfront campaign and getting strange results. Firstly kill numbers are very weird, sometimes up in the thousands and secondly I am getting constantly killed especially on successful completion of missions. I even tried running it through without contact, returned to base, landed, ended the mission and again was told I had been killed.
Is there a bug or two in this file? Has anyone else been experience anomalies in the campaign
It is a shame as it is ruining the campaign for me and making it unplayable

Send me campaign files from the Missions\Campaign... folder and all log files. I will check.
-
Which files and how do I send them to you. I restarted the campaign and all ran well for 6 missions, then 7th mission killed me again and been killed every subsequent mission. I was going to try the Luftwaffe version to see if the campaign runs ok, what do you think, is it worth it
And thanks for replying.

When I try to start stock Midway sub-campaign (part of the IJN fighter career) with Asura's DGen_mod installed, IL-2 hangs and I get following message:
(http://s30.postimg.cc/aaejrdtrl/Midway_Error.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
It happens only with Midway, among sub-campaigns of above mentioned stock career.
The same Midway sub-campaign starts with Starshoy's DGen.
-
It is necessary to check files of this sub-campaign - where the mistake and the generator can't correctly sort that lines.

It is necessary to check files of this sub-campaign...

After a long break the next version of the generator is ready. In it while there are no big changes, time was spent on debugging of available algorithms and on addition of data for different versions of game. In the following versions precisely there will be new types of missions and other changes. For now here:
v2.0.1.2 (20/06/2014)
+ user manual v.2.1
+ the algorithm of use drop tanks is reworked
+ added data on aircraft (528 lines) and armament (over 6000 lines)
+ corrected errors, caused collisions of large aircraft groups during the start of a mission
+ the MissionDistance parameter reworked - allowed values: Full - full flight distance, Medium - 75%, Short - 50%
+ the CampaignLength parameter reworked - it works as in the first version, but also takes into account the number of flights during the day
+ other errors corrected
v2.0.1.1 (01/04/2014)
+ corrected routes for strike groups, attacking moving targets
+ corrected markings of stationary aircraftmarkings
+ added data for Bessarabia and Slovakia maps (by Juri_JS and Lagarto)
+ added aircraft data for DBW 1.71
+ added aircraft data for HSFX 7 (by IV/JG7_4Shades and Charlie Chap)
+ other errors corrected

Asura, that`s great. A long awaited update, thanks a lot.

Thank you!!!

For people having problems with Mediafire the new DGen version is also available at Axis & Allies Paintworks:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/download.php?view.807
-
Thank you very much asura
Is it working well with Asura's or Boelcke campaigns or shall we wait for "patches" ?
-
The changes in 2.0.1.2 are mostly bug fixes and some new features. Theoretically a campaign that works without problems in 2.0.1.0 should also work in 2.0.1.2.
Nonetheless I will rework most of my campaigns over the next month to use some of the new features.
-
Thank you Asura! :)
-
Is it working well with Asura's or Boelcke campaigns ... ?
FYI, Asura never made campaigns, while you're missing Juri, who build a lot of them. Even a certain Greybeard did, say, a dozen campaigns for Asura's DGen.

How we solve the briefings in Russian?
-
In the DGen_mod.ini file:
Language=English (or German)

Thanks! Work like a charm!

Hi all
I'm having problems with the kills acount, the program doesn't count any kill after update to the new version.
In fact I begin a new campaign and the outcome it's the same, no kills!!!

Too, I have problems with a campaign for the Me262&Ar234 in the WF44 map, before the update the campaign load and now I got an error...

No AirFields or IO points for Allies

For me the counting of kills works without problems.

Hi all
I'm having problems with the kills acount, the program doesn't count any kill after update to the new version.
In fact I begin a new campaign and the outcome it's the same, no kills!!!
Check in settings of game (conf.ini), has to be:
[game]
...
eventlog=eventlog.lst
eventlogkeep=0
Too, I have problems with a campaign for the Me262&Ar234 in the WF44 map, before the update the campaign load and now I got an error...
--->No AirFields or IO points for Allies
Campaign most likely isn't suitable for DGen_MOD 2.0.1.2 - there is a problem with a front line or initial airfields.

Here is the error message.

n the AllWings.dat file now there are no data on GC_III_3. Solution:
1 . To add in AllWings.dat a line with GC_III_3 data
2 . To remove GC_III_3 from all files of campaign.

P.S.: I played the 488 km-to-target mission getting still more than 70 liters of fuel left in my tanks when I was returned over my carrier, ready to land:
(http://greybeard.xoom.it/virgiliowizard/sites/default/files/photos/image_3/thumb_182/448x336_crop_thumb_fuel_left.jpg)
so it looks mainly a question of coherence between distance to target and external tanks provision.
P.P.S.: during Burma campaign it is historically important to have transport intercept mission by Japanese. So far (v2.0.1.0) it wasn't allowed to play on this map such kind of mission, but I've just realized that v2.0.1.2 allows transport intercept mission in PTO. My compliments, Asura, and a big thanks to you!

No, sir. It was an escort mission (escorting B5N to Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941). Indeed, keeping to play with this latest DGen, I'm getting drop tank only for escort missions.
Let me add one more notice.
Unfortunately, multiple missions in one day is still a mess: dusk missions are still generated (e.g.: start at 18:46 whilst settings are "False 17 6") as well as next mission at a time BEFORE previous one (e.g.: 1st mission start 12:30, second mission of same day starts at 8:15)! This didn't happen with Starshoy's DGen: would be interesting to detect how that worked. Here follows an example got from stock IJN Fighter career on Marianas sub-campaign where all FIVE missions are generated on same day:
19 June 1944
0715
0945
1145
1400
1545
Please notice the time interval (not less than 1h 45m) and that even the last one starts at a time (1545) enough to perform mission before local sunset in June (around 1800).

Asura,
This is great. Do you have or plan to release a reference manual with an explanation for all the files needed for a campaign to include all the code words? (that is, in addition to the use manual PDF).
Also, is there a way to use the same airplane for both Blue and Red teams when building a campaign? (for example SB, DB-3, I-153 for Finnish campaign)
Thanks for a great addition.

Asura,
As an amateur programmer myself, I fully realize how hard it is sometimes to implement a seemingly simple request, but you understand your code for the new DGEN.
Considering my question above regarding using the same plane for two separate teams (again in the specific example of Finland using captured SBs, DB-3s, LaGG-3s, Pe-2/3s, I-16s, I-153s), how hard would it be to implement that?
I was thinking interpreting the following:
In the AllPlaneDB.dat file in the DGEN\MOD folder:
* Allow the "Faction" parameter to accept a third value of "Multi", so acceptable strings would be Allies, Axis and Multi
So today, by default one of the SBs are listed as:
SB_2M103;Allies;0;USSR;None;None;0;Bomber;None;Reconplane;None;1800;230;1130;0;0;0
With my suggested modification, it would be something like:
SB_2M103;Multi;1;USSR;Finland;None;1;Bomber;None;Reconplane;None;1800;230;1130;0;0;0
Multi would mean two factions use the plane, with the MultiNation field set to 1, and with the right country...
Of course to make that work, there would have to be some specific changes in how your DGEN interprets the data in the [campaign].DB file... take for example, "Finland41.DB" in the DGEN folder...
Currently for the plane I am using in the example above, the "[Planes]" section has the following:
25 SB_2M103
Say I want to specify that 8 SBs are available to Finland in that campaign file and the 25 mentioned are Russian... perhaps the [Planes] section would take the default country, or first mentioned out of the 3 countries in the Nation field for the AllPlaneDB.dat, then you could also have [PlanesRed] for specific planes that are in the Red team and [PlanesBlue] for the other team... but that maybe complicated and may yield wrong results
Perhaps the best way to deal with the ".DB" file is to have it in the following format for the "[Planes]" section:
(NumberofPlanes) (PlaneCode) [Optional: specific country digraph]
So...
25 SB_2M103
8 SB_2M103 fi
... means for that campaign there are 25 SBs to default (USSR, which is the first Nation in AllPlaneDB.dat) and 8 to Finland.
I figured I might as well suggest it. (I tried using the SBs for a Bomber campaign for Finland, but unless I specified the SB to be an Axis plane in AllPlaneDB, the campaign engine would freak out and Generate a mission for the Red Team)

Dan,
you don't need any code: Asura's DGen already does what you're asking for. No matter what country is set in AllPlaneDB, you can pick any aircraft to play for any country (just set the proper one in your customized XXXplanes.dat).
As an example, watch East Africa (http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=4424): there you fly a Hurricane Mk.I for British Allies; if you try same thing with stock DGen you'll get a "beep" and error message. Of course, you must set relevant line in GBD_Africa41Planes.dat as follows:
Allies England Fighter HurricaneMkIa 300 3000 3000 default 1that's to say Allies and England instead of default Axis and Finland.
That's all.
Cheers,
GB

Aaaahhhh daaamn!!! :o Well that shows how inexperienced I am with campaign design. Thank you very much. Let me try that then when I fail you can correct me on what I goofed on. Thanks greybeard!

greybeard,
Have a question. I did what you told me and it works. I created a "Finland41Planes.dat" file with info on the SB plane and it worked well (I only included info on the SB and Blenheims). But here is the problem, there were way too many Finnish SBs in some of the missions. The Finns had about 15 or so captured M103 SBs (historically)... so it would be nice to limit them. Is there a way to do that? I figured the only way to do that would be to have different parameters that would limit planes explicitly in "Finland41.DB".

I think you should include in Finland41Planes.dat all aircraft involved (actually same you set in your DB file) since this allows you to have control on their cruising speed (often unreal - hampering rendez-vous).
Your guess is right: you must change number of available SB in Finland41.DB. Edit it an find following line:
[Planes]
...
25 SB_2M103reducing 25 to 15.

Only problem is that then the USSR would also be limited by the same number, that is why I was looking for a solution in the [episode].DB file that specified the numbers available for Red and Blue teams separately (say 25 SB_2M103 Allies, and 15 SB_2M103 Axis) when they happen to use same types of planes... I know very seldom that occurred but it was a reality for the Continuation War.
I understand this maybe too much trouble to put in code, so that is why I was asking if it was possible and I just didn't get it from the readme file. If it can't be done I totally understand... it is a case of exception rather than the rule. Thank you for the help.

No, sir. It was an escort mission (escorting B5N to Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941). Indeed, keeping to play with this latest DGen, I'm getting drop tank only for escort missions.
Let me add one more notice.
Unfortunately, multiple missions in one day is still a mess: dusk missions are still generated (e.g.: start at 18:46 whilst settings are "False 17 6") as well as next mission at a time BEFORE previous one (e.g.: 1st mission start 12:30, second mission of same day starts at 8:15)! This didn't happen with Starshoy's DGen: would be interesting to detect how that worked. Here follows an example got from stock IJN Fighter career on Marianas sub-campaign where all FIVE missions are generated on same day:
In escort missions suspended tanks are established for increase in a reserve of fuel. Some planes, for example P-40, possess very small stock of fuel which is quickly spent especially in maintenance missions. To avoid falling of planes on a back course I made 45% a reserve in range calculations. So existence of tanks it not a mistake in your case.
The problem with departure time to me is known and will be solved in one of the following versions.
-
I will answer other questions with one message :)
1 . The user's guide is in permanent job, I very much want to describe all formats and values which are used by the generator. It demands some time, but I will try to add for each new version in the instruction something new. I hope to an exit 2.0.2.0 to add the description of the settings and ops files.
2. The mechanism of use of one plane is realized by the different countries long ago through the DB file. Here http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=20104.msg327046#msg327046 (http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=20104.msg327046#msg327046) and here http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=20104.msg327255#msg327255 (http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=20104.msg327255#msg327255) I told as it to make.
3. Local files *Planes.dat are used for definition of arms of the plane in each concrete campaign. It is better to appoint the country in DB. It is possible to do without *Planes.dst files if the standard set of arms completely is suitable for campaign.

@Uberdemon
As you may read from Asura's explanation, there's the option to set two different quantities, according to country; so you should modify DB file as follows:
[Planes]
...
Allies USSR 25 SB_2M103
Axis Finland 15 SB_2M103I was unaware of this possibility.
@Asura
Thanks for the explanation: in fact this makes sense. Actually, I read in literature that, as a rule, combat range is computed as no more than 1/3 of ferry range (one third to reach the target, one third to RTB, one third to combat and stay on target); so drop tank should be provided (at least) when target distance goes beyond 33% of current "range" item inside game files. This fraction may reduce up to 1/5, in actual instances (e.g.: patrolling), so leaving up to 60% fuel for "reserve".
Thank you also for planned fix to scheduling of multiple missions in a day.
I was glad to learn, by answer you gave to Uberdemon, another significant feature of your DGen. It makes me think how many features we are missing, lost among the 81 (so far) pages of this thread. Definitely desirable including them in the manual.

If you have the time, could you give me a hand again? So I tried modifying the Finish dynamic fighter campaign again...
Trying to start small, and only changing the Finland41 episode, I put the following in the "planesFiF.dat" file:
[Finland41]
GLADIATOR1J8A
GLADIATOR2
G50
F2A_B239
MS406
HurricaneMkIa
P_36A3
P_36A4
I_153_M62
I_153P
...
Note I added the "trophy" I-153s so I could start the campaign flying captured Soviet planes with Finnish markings...
I also did the following in the "[Planes]" section of "Finland41.DB":
...
[Planes]
Allies USSR 58 I_153_M62
Axis Finland 6 I_153_M62
Allies USSR 44 I_153P

26 G50
10 P_36A3
10 P_36A4
20 GLADIATOR2
4 TB_3_4M_17
...
I did double check that the modded "dgen.exe" was being used... but when I started the campaign with the Chaika, it either puts me as a Red team player in a TB-3 or a DB-3... Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Do I need to change another file? Do I have to change the Finland41Planes.dat file as well? How to I account for configs for both Finland and USSR in that file?
(Note I tried both "Allies USSR 58 I_153_M62" and "58 I_153_M62" as well as "Allies USSR 44 I_153P" and "44 I_153P" formats but the results were the same.)
I then tried changing the "AllPlaneDB.dat" data on the planes to:
...
HurricaneMkIV;Allies;0;England;None;None;1;FBomber;None;None;Reconplane;772;330;318;400;820;0
I_153_M62;Allies;1;USSR;Finland;None;1;FBomber;None;Fighter;None;600;170;235;0;0;0
I_153P;Allies;1;USSR;Finland;None;1;FBomber;None;Fighter;None;600;170;235;0;0;0
I_15BIS;Allies;0;USSR;None;None;1;Fighter;None;FBomber;None;350;170;150;0;0;0
...
... but also same result. It does not seem like I have to go to "AllWeapons.dat" because all I_153* parameters are for Nation "All".
Any help would be awesome.

I in general would remove the Finland41Planes.dat file. Send me your campaign when everything I will see the eyes everything it becomes more clear and I will be able to prompt.

I think you needed only new entries in "Finland41.DB" and "Finland41Planes.dat", don't know what is "planesFiF.dat". I would leave all the rest untouched at this scope.

Unfortunately it only worked after I included a [episode]Planes.dat file, that is why I am hoping you can help... seems a lot of work and from what you said, if should be as simple as [episode].DB changes and nothing else. So my only question so far is really how to use the same plane on both sides in a campaign, which was prominent in the Finnish scenario.
I am sending the files I modified in the DGEN directory (note that "AllPlaneDB.dat" is in the DGEN/MOD directory but I included in the zip for you to look.).

greybeard,
The planes[campaign].dat file is the file that specifies which aircraft are available for the player to pick for each campaign/episode. So for "FiF" (Finland dynamic fighter campaign) there are 4 major campaigs or episodes, which are Finland41, Leningrad42, Leningrad43 and Leningrad44). When you start the campaign, you can choose which year you want to start. If you start in Finland41, you will go through the whole campaign until Leningrad44 ends. If you start in Leningrad42, you don't go through Finland41, but you still end it in Leningrad44... and so forth.
It is the file that gives you the choice of planes for that campaign to start... so for example, in Finland41 you can start with the J8A, B239, G50 or HurricaneMkIa... eventually you will be upgraded to other planes available but that is how you start. You could add other planes and with the later versions of IL-2 1946 and Mod packs, it is easy to add new (flyable) planes to that list without changing much else... for example, I added the Gladiator2, the MS406 and P_36A3 and A4, because they are already in the [Planes] section of Finland41.DB and they are by default Axis planes in the simulator. In Leningrad44 you could add the MS410 because it is already in the order of battle... But I believe if you want to add something like the Morko Morane, you may have to add them to the DB file as well... not sure.
The problem I have been having is adding the dual side planes, like captured I-153 (M62 and P)... you can add them, and they are available, but even with the changes in the Finland41 (Axis Finland # plane_type), it does not seem to work... only when I create an [episode]Planes.dat it seems to work... which is what you have been saying all along... but Asura is saying that is not necessary, and I would prefer not to have to use that... so I am trying to find what I am doing wrong.
Hope that makes sense.

At you everything was made correctly, but the generator wasn't ready to flights of the player by trophy planes :) I made changes and now it is possible, but it is necessary to wait the following version. It will be important not to forget to disconnect the option "UseParkedPlanes" if campaign is based on old templates if it is included there will be mistakes in placement of the plane of the player in airfield of the opponent. Or to use new possibilities of version 2.0.2.0 for the indication of airfield of the player through the settings files.

Sorry, I know what is that file, I just haven't focused that "FiF" is campaign identification.

I think you're following the correct path. The "[episode]Planes.dat" file is necessary, in my experience, and I guess there's a misunderstanding with Asura; if I recall correctly, he recommended in the past to add that file, since the sole AllPlaneDB and AllWeapons gave a poor control on a campaign.

Since you're tuned, I would make you aware of a couple of problems I'm experiencing.
First, I'm sorry to say that I was forced to stop testing of v2.0.1.2 since it gave increasing troubles as campaign was going on, presenting Windows error messages of "Access violation by DGen.exe" when I clicked on "Apply" at mission end.
Second, I've a problem with air base of Imphal Main, on Burma map: notwithstanding I set UseParkedPlanes (with required planes parked elsewhere) and "AF Off" in setting, DGen stubbornly poses my squadron there. I wonder if control on player's air base could be improved.
On the bright side, I would thank you again for the "Country" section of AllPlane.DB: I now realized how this is important, freeing from old DGen "vice" to have plane nationality hardcoded with map (for instance: Allies forced to be all Australian in New Guinea). ;)

When using UseParkedPlanes the plane of the player and the stationary plane have to coincide completely. When using [AFOFF] it is necessary to enter precisely dates and to check shutdown in DGen_mod.log. Looks approximately so?

So far it looks like it is a challenge, but in all these years this is the first time I tried to edit them... it is probably easier to modify existing campaigns than to create a new one from scratch, at least at first. I am learning a lot by reading Asura's user guide for his modded DGEN.

All campaigns. Same ones work all with previous 2.0.1.0. No error file is generated.
When using UseParkedPlanes the plane of the player and the stationary plane have to coincide completely. When using [AFOFF] it is necessary to enter precisely dates and to check shutdown in DGen_mod.log. Looks approximately so?
Planes coincide (HurricaneMkIIc). AFOFF entries in settings file are as follows:
[AF_OFF]
Burma42 Imphal_Main 19411208 19450814
Burma43 Imphal_Main 19411208 19450814

How to check shutdown in DGen_mod.log?
Thanks for kind reply. Regards,

P.S.: curiously, the hitch happens only when I'm coming from previous episode (Burma43), switching from Hurri2BTrop to Hurri2C. All campaigns that I try to start directly from ANY episode (Burma42, Burma43, ... BurmaD3) always start at the correct airfield (Saipam), the only one on the map where Hurri2BTrop and Hurri2C are parked. I checked that there aren't Hurri2C elsewhere on the map of BurmaD1Red.mis. The [AF_OFF] or [AFOFF] (tested both syntax) seems to have no effect at all.

I'm sorry (but, please, intend my messages just as an help for debugging and improvement) to point out another issue, detected both in 2.0.1.0 and 2.0.1.2: notwithstanding I set "Thunderstorm" in settings files always to "0" probability, I continue getting some mission in a thunderstorm.

Campaign sent at dgen.service<at>mail.ru.
I've included only RAF campaign (*Far East), since is that causing Imphal Main aerodrome issue. Also, I've not included skins to save space. Be aware that some extra planes are required, especially Ki-43-IIKAI (separated flight model) and Ki-43-IIb. Please see Readme for details.

I'm really sad to point out another glitch I got: looks like sort of persecution, but it isn't. :(

For the settings file it is very important not to break a sequence of sections. If to mix sections control won't work with places. Sections can not be but the order always has to be such:
Pacific
UseParkedPlanes
UseSearchlight
[EnemyNation]
[AF_OFF]
[Distance]
[AirStart]
[DropTanksON]
[MapSeason]
[MapNight]
[MapWeather]
[MapWind]

I think your problems are connected with order violation.

It's a bug in the AllWing file. The line "9AF_404FG_508FS;wFighter;Allies;USA" appears twice.

Thank you very much! I didn't know. Now I'm going to fix that.
Juri
Thanks a lot! I think I would never have found on my own.

I'm sorry to say that, notwithstanding having set the correct sequence for [AF_OFF] in settings file, when campaign switches from Burma 43 to BurmaD1, DGen still picks Imphal Main airfield.

And the period in section [AF_OFF] at you is correctly determined? It is the period of shutdown of airfield and it has to cover all interval.

I think so. You may check yourself inside copy that I sent you of my campaign. You can also try launching campaign starting from Burma43 and then skipping missions until campaign switches to Burma44, so you should see the glitch and, maybe, detect the cause.
-
I always find inside DGen_mod.log file one or more rows like following example:
Plane MainType not found: Allies - Fighter,CFighter,Any
May I ask what is "MainType" and how it works?
Thanks,
GB

I already managed to remove your files :) Send me them once again. In what airfield there will be a start if to begin at once with Burma44?

"MainType" is type which is stated in the DB file:
10 F6F5 SSkin.bmp WSkin.bmp --Reconplane
here Reconplane will be the leader and if the scout that F6F5 is required will be chosen first of all

Thanks Asura!
I have just issued a new version of "Pacific War" campaign experimenting with these features, new for me.

Please download latest campaign here:
http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1675 (http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1675)
Start airfield should be Sapam, but be aware that if you start the campaign directly from Burma44, you will get Sapam; it is only if you come from previous Burma43 that you get Imphal Main!

Not sure if there is a method on this forum to search within a specific thread, but did not see it. Question is (perhaps its been answered here before):
Is a parameter available perhaps for the config.ini to reset player stats on death or capture in a given DGen Mod campaign?

Such opportunity isn't present in game, the engine itself defines that the player was lost or was taken prisoner and doesn't give the following mission. In the generator it is possible to disconnect only the admission of missions at wound.

hmmmm, one thing of note is that DCG incorporates this feature. Its an option when configuring a campaign, but in DCG if you die or are captured, your stats reset to zero and you basically start as a new pilot in the ongoing campaign.
This is not possible via DGEN?

wind

Write as it occurs in DCG on steps. I don't represent as new campaign can make something without choice manually in game.
-
In DCG, updates to the campaign progress occur at review of the event log mission to mission. Thus, in DCG if a pilot dies or is captured and exits out of mission, DCG at that time reviews the log and records the pilot stat reset. Once pilot enters the UI mission debrief, the player would have to click "Refly" to "refly" mission, however at which point, they could simply exit out returning to debrief to "Apply" and advance the campaign. Upon generation of the new mission, the pilot would return to starting rank/stats.
Note, if a user does not click "Refly" following return from a death mission end, and rather went to the main UI screen and then reloaded the career, the death mission would need to be entered and then exited to allow campaign advance via the "Apply" button. Of course, in either format, at mission advance the pilot stats would be reset. The key trigger for resetting stats is actually when a user exits the deadly flight and enters the debrief.
As noted, this feature is optional in DCG thus it can be enabled on/off per the players choice. I enjoy it on as it is nice to see rank/responsibility advancement while on a clean (no death/capture) streak. Provides incentive to remain alive/fly/fight smart to avoid returning to lower ranks and getting yelled at all the time by the squad leaders when off formation.

Now it is clear to me. Unfortunately in DGen_MOD so it won't turn out. The generator has no UI, there is no possibility of management. DGen is completely subordinated to game.

I'm noticing that often wind direction is set sideways on carrier operations (actually, it appears to be random). This makes exceedingly difficult take-off and landing. In reality, aircraft carrier are always oriented upwind for take-off and landing operations. I think Starshoy's DGen would include this feature.
Please, could you arrange your DGen this way?

The wind is only in DGen_MOD. In missions with aircraft carriers trust has to be on a meeting, but on some cards there is a wrong determination of coordinates. Send me mission with the wrong wind and the log files. I will try ??????? a mistake.

I think I found the difference.

having same wind direction and an higher speed. Third mission still has same direction and an even higher speed (follows excerpt):
[WEATHER]
WindDirection 229
WindSpeed 10.10
Gust 8
Turbulence 0
Same campaign played with Starshoy's DGen gives always wind "0" (zero), as you can see in attached screenshot:
(http://s8.postimg.cc/8czglqc4l/Carrier_crosswind_1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
and also setting in FMB worst weather, no more than 4 m/s of wind strength can be obtained at deck level (direction looks to be always 0).
(http://s29.postimg.cc/tks1neznr/Carrier_crosswind_2.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)
Please, would you consider the recourse to a stratagem to keep more realistic carrier operations?
Thanks for your attention,
GB
P.S.: maybe I found also a solution. Just using your settings and limiting wind strength:
[MapWind]
Marianas1 100 0 0 0
It's a poor solution (the best would have been having realistic wind in the opposite direction of carrier travel) but I'm unable to find anything better.

May I ask how to use following options, available for "Settings" file?
[Distance]
[DropTanksON]
[MapSeason]
[RndScrambleOFF]
Thanks,

Hello Asura,
Above is my latest dilemma! :(
I've been struggling with Boelcke's MTO campaign. At times my plane and those in front and behind explode as soon as mission loads, or else I am in a pink plane that has already crashed somewhere (the plane was a Bf-109 but now it has crashed, turned pink and has a Russian star on the fuselage!) I've re-downloaded and re-installed your Dgen Mod and associated plane files along with the campaign. Sometimes i get through 2 missions, sometimes 5. Boelcke says he has never has any issues with the MTO, so I am appealing to you for help. Is it the campaign or the Mod? Below is the latest error log:

Pink planes and explosions sure sign of the wrong arms. In your version of game there are no arms which for some plane are registered in AllWeapons.dat. As soon as this weapon appears in mission - everything is painted in pink color. :)

The generator couldn't find the Zapolar43SummerTowns.dat file. It is necessary to provetit it. It isn't related to pink planes.

I'm glad that you're reappeared! ;D
Perhaps you missed my question?

Hello Iyteyr,
this errorlog is related to Boelckes Murmansk campaign!!! Have a look at the entries, it`s Zapolar43 and the Career ID is DeBOE101;
his MTO campaign is campaignsdeBoe03-07 and 104-107;
So I guess you have mixed up a lot in your dgen folder.
Another possibility is that you`ve missed to install his HSFX 7 plane data files for Asuras dgen.exe mod v1.2 which can be found here:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/download.php?view.856
Things like the ones you described can happen when loadouts are different.

May I ask how to use following options, available for "Settings" file?
I apologize - I passed. I already completely made in the instruction the section according to the settings file. Soon the translation of the text into English will begin. The new instruction will be in release of DGen_MOD 2.0.2.0 which now is in process of preparation. Also the section according to the ops files - all codes and available missions is added to instructions. Wait, please the new version. Briefly to answer your question unfortunately it won't turn out.
-
Wait, please the new version.
Thank you. Gladly I shall wait new version.
-
Also the section according to the ops files - all codes and available missions is added to instructions.
Arguably one of the single biggest items I've personally been waiting for. This is badly needed.
I still have all the old notes and forum conversations from many years ago of Starshoy, Ian Boys, Nimits, and others detailing DGen codes, variables, and other functions, but it's from a very old version of DGen. Been waiting a long time for something comprehensive for Asura's DGen. Can't wait. :)
-
Asura.
Quick question. In the ops[episode name].dat files, is there a limit to the number of variations to any single mission type? For example, can you create more than ten variations to "oRuAttackArmor" or any other mission type? If there is a limit, what is it? Also, what are all the available mission types than can be put into the ops[episode name].dat for either side.
Thanks again for your work on the DGen.exe. You newer version is working really well (though I had to drastically increase the AI's cruising speed in many aircraft, as they were crawling along way too slowly) I can't tell you how much I appreciate the added flexibility in building campaings. The default DGen is just too finicky and restrictive.

In the generator there are no restrictions on lines of the ops files. There is no restriction on total of lines and on quantity of lines for each type of missions. In this question it is necessary to use the principle of a rationality and sufficiency. The detailed full instruction on the ops files is now translated. If that helps here in Russian https://www.mediafire.com/view/lw222wd8k5fmtli/DGen_UserManual_Ru.pdf (https://www.mediafire.com/view/lw222wd8k5fmtli/DGen_UserManual_Ru.pdf) The pictogram of "NEW" noted missions which will be available in new release 2.0.2.0, the program is ready, I wait for the translation of the instruction.

Absolutely, a good point. One that I am acutely aware of. Important to have room for options, but overdoing it can be just as harmful as not doing enough. I'm currently building a Winter War campaign from scratch using the DGen Mod, (and will later move on to the whole Baltic/Leningrad theater of operations during the German-Soviet war), and it will be lengthy. Just wanted some variability in missions, at least for the Soviet side. The Finnish side - from a historical standpoint - will be limited however, lol.
Thanks for the link. Will take a look.
Thanks.

I think there's a serious issue with use of drop tanks by DGen_mod.
Here follows an example regarding Hurricane Mk.IIB (SAS pack including drop tanks). Asura's DGen_mod v2.0.1.2. DropTanksON option enabled. DGen_mod assign a mission where player's flight must go to 203 NM distance from home base and then idling, waiting for enemy transports. After fight, player's flight is supposed should also RTB.
(http://s18.postimg.cc/kht5dc649/Burma_mission_insufficient_range.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)

Preparing to write
So drop tanks are there, their range is calculated, but (Lord knows why) they are not applied, since not need (???)
On the contrary, I see drop tanks are always given by DGen_mod for escort missions, even if at very short distance.
This odd logic makes really frustrating the attempt to have a "short-legged" plane like Hurricane on big Pacific maps. In addition, in case of fighter-bombers variant, DGen_mod looks unable to manage pylons who carries either drop tank or bomb, giving precedence to drop tank and sending, as a consequence, fighter-bombers to bomb with... drop tanks! :(
I heartily hope that next version 2.0.2.0 will fix these inaccuracies of DGen_mod, otherwise the unique tool to play dynamic campaigns on new maps, with new planes.
Cheers,

It is necessary to understand that calculation of ranges of flight and the decision on use of suspended tanks very complex algorithmic challenge.
In a case with Hurricane before line "CheckDT - DT not need, DT is switched OFF" there has to be a line "CheckDT - distantion to target - X km, Plane range - X km" by which it is possible to determine what flying range counted the generator. In general the generator at the established DropTanksON works so:
1. Checks possibility of installation of suspended tanks - if it perhaps increases the radius of search of the purposes and tanks are established as obligatory.
2. Search of the purpose is carried out and mission is defined.
3. The distance to the chosen purpose is checked - if it is suitable for flight without tanks - tanks are removed. If escort mission - tanks remain isn't dependent on distance to the purpose.
If the plane has loading options with tanks and bombs - they will get out. But if the purpose is suitable for attack only guns/machine guns perhaps installation only of suspended tanks. The choice between "only a tank" and "a tank with bombs" is carried out in a random way if both options are suitable for a performance of the mission. On attack of the ship "only tank" shouldn't get out.
Task of the author of campaigns to pick up the correct balance of missions and opportunities of the plane. The generator unfortunately has no reason. :)
-
"Task of the author of campaigns to pick up the correct balance of missions and opportunities of the plane."
And how? I even tried replacing all "default" with "2xDrop44" in *planes.dat and AllWeapons.dat for HurricaneMkIIb, but no juice: DGen_mod stubbornly continue to remove tanks also for missions where target is more than half the ferry range!
I think algorithm should be very simple: radius_of_action (with drop tanks if DropTanksON option is enabled) = 1/5 (20%) of ferry_range (also this latter with drop tanks if DropTanksON option is enabled). No matter what kind of mission (escort included).
About bombs or other ordnance (e.g. rockets), DGen_mod should never alter the AllWeapons.dat and *planes.dat set. I mean, for instance, since I have following set as fighter-bomber:
Allies England FBomber HurricaneMkIIb 300 2500 900 2x250lb
target for a mission which requires a fB should be searched inside the radius of action without tanks (also if DropTanksON option is enabled).

And how? I even tried replacing all "default" with "2xDrop44" in *planes.dat and AllWeapons.dat for HurricaneMkIIb, but no juice: DGen_mod stubbornly continue to remove tanks also for missions where target is more than half the ferry range!
Send me a complete set of the log files, I will look as the generator considers and why cleans tanks. And mission too. Now the generator considers 45% a reserve on range.
tmpRadius := Trunc((FullRange / 2) - ((FullRange / 2)/100*45));
if TF.bNaval = True then misDist := Trunc(distancec(pCV1.takeoff, TrgXY))
else misDist := Trunc(distancec(ground, TrgXY));
if misDist <= tmpRadius then
begin
LongRange := False;
LongRangeType := 0;
Blackboxln('CheckDT - DT not need, DT is switched OFF');
end;
FullRange - flying range of the plane taking into account suspended tanks
tmpRadius - radius with tanks taking into account a reserve
misDist - distance from a start point to a purpose point
target for a mission which requires a fB should be searched inside the radius of action without tanks (also if DropTanksON option is enabled).
And it is made.

hi
I had a strange bug with the Dgen mod, I tried to start an 1941 Kiev campaign, but it didn't star, i just heard a "beep" sound. Then I read the Dgen mod error ini which said: "Invalid red element number: Y
This campaign was worked with the stock Dgen.
Thanks for your help
-
In March I've uploaded the 1.3 version of the Kiev campaigns that should be fully compatible with Asura's DGen:
http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=3642
Are you using this version?
-
Thank you Juri ( Spasibo !!! )
It's working now, I used the very first version of this campaign :D ;D
-
tmpRadius := Trunc((FullRange / 2) - ((FullRange / 2)/100*45));
Can't understand this equation; let's suppose FullRange=1000, this would give:
tmpRadius := Trunc(500 - 500/4500)? that's to say 499,88? Where's the reserve?
I think equation should be:
tmpRadius := Trunc((FullRange / 2) - ((FullRange / 2)*45/100))
or
tmpRadius := Trunc((FullRange / 2) - ((FullRange / 2)*.45))
or even better
tmpRadius := Trunc((FullRange / 5)
Indeed, I see that your DGen compute radius of action as half of ferry range (without auxiliary tanks, according to my findings). Beyond this limit, it gives drop tanks also for non-escort mission.
Please, golubchik, fix the bug! :)
Cheers,
GB

FullRange=pRange - value from the AllPlaneDB.dat file, for HurricaneMkIIb - 1000 km
If the first type of suspended tanks is chosen the next lines and values are used:
HurricaneMkIIb;Allies;1;England;USSR;None;1;Fighter;FBomber;None;None;1000;220;318;333;606;0
HurricaneMkIIb;3500;3500;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;1;1;0;0;1;0;1;0;0;2xDrop44;All
(these lines are used in my assembly of mods, in other versions options of arms can be others therefore I officially don't prepare files for mods of versions - each user has to correct independently files of the generator for the version)
So, when using the first type of suspended tanks (2xDrop44) FullRange is recalculated.
pCurrentRange := Trunc(pRange + ((pRange * (pFuelDT[LongRangeType] * 0.72)) / pFuel0));
pCurrentRange = 1000 + ((1000 * (333 * 0,72)) / 318) = 1000 + (1000 * 239) / 318 = 1000 + 751 = 1751 km
In this formula there is a transfer of liters to kilograms (333 * 0,72) and are calculated how many kilometers it is possible to fly by on 239 kg of additional fuel if 318 kg of fuel in internal tanks are spent for 1000 km.
FullRange=pCurrentRange
Then fighting radius in meters taking into account a reserve is calculated. For fighters of 20%, for bombers of 10%.
Radius := Trunc((pCurrentRange / 2 * 1000) - ((pCurrentRange / 2 * 1000)/100*20))
Radius = (1751 / 2 * 1000) - ((1751 / 2 * 1000) / 100 * 20)) = 875500 - (875500 / 100 * 20) = 875500 - 175100 = 700400m (700km)
According to radius search of the purpose is carried out.
When the purpose is defined need of installation of suspended tanks is calculated.
tmpRadius := Trunc((FullRange / 2) - ((FullRange / 2)/100*45));
tmpRadius = (1751 / 2) - ((1751 / 2) /100 * 45) = 875 - (875 / 100 * 45) = 875 - 394 = 481km - it is fighting radius with suspended tanks and a reserve 45%
distance to the purpose - misDist = 376 km
Comparison misDist <= tmpRadius gives that in this departure suspended fuel tanks are superfluous.
By calculations everything is correct. But I understood where here a mistake - refusing tanks I don't check availability of the purpose without tanks. Sometimes it is useful to return to these calculations. :)
In the flowing, developed version I will add check and if the purpose is available without tanks with a reserve 45% of tanks won't be. Otherwise they will remain.
-
Glad you're revising your calculation, but there are a series of inaccuracies and lack of info, IMHO. Please, read carefully what follows:
1). I think your equation is risky, at least, and over-complicated. Although the division (/) may have precedence on multiplication (*), that's like going from a room to another of an apartment walking on the ledge, instead through the corridor. I would suggest to replace percentages with .45, .20, .10 and such, removing division(/).
2). Don't know where you found reserves of 10-20%; in literature I found radius of action = from 1/5 to 1/3 of ferry range, so not less than 33% of reserve.
3). The "customary" Hurricane range is 600 miles (which is btw 965 km and not 1000 km), but I think it is inaccurate; I found a more credible value here (http://www.aviation-history.com/hawker/hurrcane.html) of 740 km.
4). Hurricane range in-game is even worse; I remarked repeatedly it unable to fly more than one hour and a half. At an average speed of 300 km/h, this means 450 km. I tested in FMB Hurricane IIB with 10% fuel at 93% power and got 44.4 km (6 min and 40 sec at 400 km/h), that's to say 444 km of range with full fuel load.
Thanks for your work and your kind attention. Cheers,

Exclusively game decision - a bigger reserve will reduce a set of the available purposes and a variety of missions.

It is the main problem of this algorithm - range accuracy in game. I take data from FM though I know that simply numerical value. The structure of the generator opened - isn't present any restrictions on own corrections of data. ;)
-
I apologize if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything with searches. I've been using DGEN_mod for months now, and lately I've been getting a weird bug when completing a mission. As far as I can tell, the only reason it happens is because I add flights to the mission after its been generated OR it may be because I change some pilot names to be non-standard.
In any case, I constantly get the following error message
"Exception EConverterError in module DGEN.exe at 000791A." is not a valid integer value.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this issue?
Many thanks
-
Thanks for your work Asura.

"Exception EConverterError in module DGEN.exe at 000791A." is not a valid integer value.
All lines the generator sorts one after another with use of dividers (a space, a sign of tabulation or a semicolon). At change you broke sequence and now in that place where there has to be a number there is other symbol. It is necessary or to find it, or to return initial files.

Symbiosis from old versions for Pacific and Europe is now used. I plan to process completely algorithm of RandomFlights in one of the following versions.
-
Flight times over big Pacific maps may require use of Skip Time function. Unfortunately, this may cause player's plane crash onto the heights since DGen_mod setting of the flight altitude does not respect *Planes.dat prescriptions and AI is unable to avoid heights (at least not in Skip Time mode). Here follows an example, where, on the contrary of Minimum Altitude set in Planes.dat file:
Axis Japan aTank KI_43_IIIKO 320 2200 500 2x250 1
DGen_mod set only 1233 m as cruising flight altitude:

I can confirm that RandomFlights is working in the current version. However, it only works for European or Eastern Front campaigns. The random flights function does not work for Pacific campaigns, even when enabled. That's how it's been since Pacific Fighters was first released years ago...
-
I can confirm that RandomFlights is working in the current version.
Of which version you're speaking of? I can't find any hint about, neither in current 2.0.1.2 nor in next 2.0.2.0 User Manuals. Obviously, I mean the RandomFlights=0-5 option in the INI file, like in Starshoy's DGen.
This does not mean that current DGen_mod does not have random flights: at least in Pacific mission I see always generated random flights for both friend and foe. here follows an excerpt from latest DGen_mod.log generated during a campaign I'm playing:

Really? I played Boelcke's west front campaigns and I never saw other flights even though I had set it at 5.
-

The current version, which is 2.0.1.2.
I still use IL-2 almost daily, both in building experimental missions and campaigns, as well as flying campaigns. Using both Starshoy's DGen and Asura's DGen Mod, Eastern Front missions spawn random flights on most missions with RandomFlights set to 5. Just because it's not in the manual doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Sometimes it's just a single recon, while other times there are up to two or three additional strike flights. Simple task to confirm in comparing the ops.dat line called for in the log file, and looking further down to see the additional random flights to be generated, if any. Alternatively, simply looking up the generated mission in the full mission builder gives immediate confirmation of the extra flights generated.
However, with RandomFlights set to 5, I have never seen random flights generated on any Pacific generated missions in Campaigns, and this has been the case for me since Pacific Fighters was first released. When checking the log file and mission builder, I've only ever seen the exact composition called for from the ops.dat mission line. Aircraft density settings don't count as it only alters the ops.dat mission line composition, and it's function is not to create random flights.
I can't speak for Western European scenarios, as I very rarely fly those. Use latest DT stock v4.12.
EDIT: I forgot to mention: If Aircraft Density is set high, that lowers the chance that random flights will be generated, even if it's set to 5. Likewise, if the ops.dat mission lines generate highly populated missions (i.e. 12B 12B 6F), then the chance of random flights being generated is significantly reduced, if not eliminated altogether. Random FLights seems to work best when ops.dat mission lines are of a relatively small aircraft composition, and Aircraft Density is set to Normal or Low, all of which leaves more room for random flights to be generated. As I understand it, currently Starshoy's and Asura's DGens allow only up to a maximum of 32 aircraft generated per side. The more that "budget" is filled, the less chance of random flights, even if there is still room to generate them. It would be interesting if Asura is working on doubling that number :), but I'm sure that depends on how well the "moving parts" inside the .exe will even allow that to ever happen...
-
Just because it's not in the manual doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Good point!
However, with RandomFlights set to 5, I have never seen random flights generated on any Pacific generated missions in Campaigns
I don't know why this happens to you. If you give a glance to log file excerpt I posted earlier, you can see how they are actually generated: since Starshoy's DGen, on the contrary of European campaigns, random flights in PTO are generated by default (no matter what RandomFlights is set). Asura's DGen just inherited this feature.
I forgot to mention: If Aircraft Density is set high, that lowers the chance that random flights will be generated
Interesting. I had figured that, now you're giving me confirmation.

Flight times over big Pacific maps may require use of Skip Time function. Unfortunately, this may cause player's plane crash onto the heights since DGen_mod setting of the flight altitude does not respect *Planes.dat prescriptions and AI is unable to avoid heights (at least not in Skip Time mode). Here follows an example, where, on the contrary of Minimum Altitude set in Planes.dat file:
Please, would be possible to have DGen_mod strictly respecting prescribed minimum altitude in Planes.dat?
Height was always used from the local Planes.dat files. I corrected an element of chance - earlier it could reduce height, will work only for increase now.
-
There is no sense to argue about Random planes - I all the same will remake it and I will describe in the instruction. :) It will be really interesting and necessary groups of planes (for example group of cover at take off and landing, or the group meeting bombers from flight, also there will be groups the attacking purposes - for mass character).
-
Hi there Asura, i just want to let you know that I really love and admire what you are doing to/for DGen. II can't wait for the new version to come out: how is the manual translation coming along? ;)
On a separate note: please, please make regular backups!
Since you are more or less, if not completely, doing this just by yourself, I just would like to be assured that a hard disk crash cannot wipe out the progress you have made so far.
It happened before.

Work on the translation is a little tightened, I think if it isn't ready next week I will lay out new version 8-9 of December. I will lay out the instruction with the translation separately on readiness.
On a separate note: please, please make regular backups!
There are no reasons for concern - initial codes of the generator are stored in four copies. :)
-
I assume to expand considerably in the following versions the instruction on the generator. It will be a lot of information in Russian. Maybe there is someone who will be able to help with the translations?

Thank you very much!

Hi guys.
I am just realizing the awesome that is Asura's DGen mod, and I would like some help:
How do you "add" modplanes to the mod so that you can add them to Dynamic Campaigns?
Thanks in advance!
Ta183Huckebein
P.S: On a unrelated issue, how much of a "copy" do modact games have to be to do multiplayer? I am referring to Modact with mods like the Me-262 Ultimate mod and/or modplanes installed. Do they have to have air.inis that are exactly the same, or does having the same files active suffice?

Non-stock planes are added like usual: drop folder with Java classfiles into your Mod (or #SAS, or whatever is called) folder and add related line to your air.ini file. If you mean adding them to a campaign, be aware that Asura's DGen is really required only if you want new plane as player's one. Any modded environment allows to have AI non-stock planes, but only Asura make them flyable for player. You may edit the PlanesXXX.dat file of the campaign, replacing existing player's plane with the new one (the old Starshoy's DGen knows flyables only up to version 4.08m, IIRC - so also flyables added later by TD can't be picked in a stock DGen campaign). See also Asura's Manual at paragraph "to add a new airplane to a campaign".

Huckebein, I merged you request here into the original thread.
Its confusing when having a thread and some requests somewhere else.
Next time stay in the origin thread with your questions.
Please.

Asura,
I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I have a perplexing question.
I'm in the process of building a Finn-Russo Winter War campaign. On the Leningrad map, all of the towns and villages in the Karelian Isthmus that changed hands during the conflict have two names, a Finnish name and a Russian name. In regards to writing the schedule in the *.DB file, how does one go about knowing which name to use in the *.DB files?
> Is it necessary to use both names in the *.DB schedule? For example, if a location that is originally Finnish is scheduled to be taken by the Russian side, do I use the Russian name of that location in the *.DB file? Likewise, is the reverse true for locations that, hypothetically, are taken by the Finns (using the Finn name of the same location)?
Or...
> Does DGen recognize only one version of a location's name, no matter which side holds it? If so, which one?
Or...
> Will DGen automatically apply the appropriate nationality name according to who holds it, move the front-line appropriately, and otherwise function normally (not create an error), regardless if either the Finnish or Russian name is written for any of the locations in the schedule?
I did not foresee this complication. The situation is confusing. I've already researched and hand-written the schedule in preparation of writing the *.DB files, only to run into this snag. Some help in this matter would be very, very much appreciated!
Thanks!
-
Sorry for the intrusion, I fear Asura is currently engaged elsewhere, so I try to help.
> Does DGen recognize only one version of a location's name, no matter which side holds it? If so, which one?
In fact it is so.
Name recognized by DGen_mod is that listed into the file [map_name]Towns.dat, that in your instance should be LeningradTowns.dat, stored inside the folder DGen\MOD\, which content is:

Yeah, I was afraid you might say that...
Looked at that file already, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway, by the long chance that I wouldn't have to actually look up each name individually and compare which one is used.
Oh, well...
Thanks! :)

Huckebein, I merged you request here into the original thread.
Its confusing when having a thread and some requests somewhere else.
Next time stay in the origin thread with your questions.
Please.
Sorry Gerax :-[.
Thanks to all who replied to my query.

Looks like an overhaul of the ops*.dat files are in order. Thank goodness for that handy "Replace" tool in Notepad 2. That's going to get a lot of use... :D
Judging by what was seen in the FMB after mission generation with v2.0.2.0, it looks as though bomber formations will no longer converge onto a single waypoint along their path and smack each other out of existence. Can't tell you how much that is appreciated, especially with forming large groups of bombers. Thank you.

While I'm here, there's an issue I was wondering if anyone can help me with the Winter War campaign I've been working on.
I've gotten to the point where I can start testing the campaign, as all the essential things are done. All essential files are present. All known errors have been logged and corrected. All spellings have been checked and corrected. Etc...
So far, the campaign consists of Finnish fighters, and Russian fighters, jabos, and bombers. The campaign is only in a state fit for testing, is incomplete, the ops*.dat isn't yet optimized for players playing bombers, but anyway...
When selecting and starting any of the campaigns for either the Russians or Finnish, the game takes a moment to load everything, then crashes. Then, at this point, I must first [alt/del] out of the game, then [alt/tab] to display and close a Windows error window to get any functionality back to the system. The system is locked-up and unresponsive until I do these things. After having closed the error window, functionality returns, but the campaign doesn't generate (blank briefing screen in-game). Deleting the aborted campaign is the only option.
This is the error window that appears:
(http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag202/treetop193/DGen_Error_zps7f1bf9b4.jpg)
No DGen Error Log has ever generated every time this issue occurred.
Without fail, the log file always stops at the last line shown in the log file below:

This issue has been occurring with the previous v2.0.1.2 DGen, and the new v2.0.2.0 that was just released. It is a persistent error, the campaign never generates.
I even tried opening the DGen.exe with CFF Explorer and enabling it to use more than 2GB, but the problem still persists.
I'm totally stumped as I have no idea what could be causing this.
Thanks.

@Treetop64
Send me the campaign, I will check. There is a suspicion that at you something is confused with airfields.

Hi Asura, thank you very much!

Absolutely not right information. :) Simply now to prepare really new version more time is required.

Excellent news Asura. We will wait. 8)

In the interim I am updating a USAAF West Front campaign based on Monty's DGen work and Asura's latest DGen.exe.
I get blowing up planes for certain campaign segments. The issue appears to be related to a/c starting at the wrong end of the runway. Anyone know what causes these issues? The Ops files? Can they be switched out?
-
The issue appears to be related to a/c starting at the wrong end of the runway.
If so, you may try reversing order of runway coordinates. Edit in Notepad the MapAF.dat(*), where Map is name of map where's the airfield and detect row with airfield name, like "Sunset" in following example:
3821.03;9469.12;4998.27;10456.93;Sunset
exchange red coordinates with green ones.
(*): inside your Dgen\MOD folder

TY - will try that!
-
The issue was not the AF coordinates - that was just a symptom.
It has to do w/ the [Aces] section. When I remove it from the problem segments NO boom.
What is strange is that the syntax is correct in those sections and the segments that go boom are almost identical to the ones that don't. Just weird. I have a few more tests to run and if I can't get them to work then I'll just delete them and fly.
-
Try to post here your [Aces] section, highlighting faulty "segments" (but what do you mean, exactly, by "segments"?).

"Segments" is not the best description then. I am referring to the "episode" files of a campaign. So the one I am modding is Monty's Western Front Fighter campaign and two files that have [Aces] sections that go boom are:
G44
G45
...and two w/ [Aces] sections that don't cause issues are:
DDay
DDay2
I'll post the relevant sections tomorrow when I am on my gaming box.

OK so here is a "bad" one from "Channel44"

If you see anything amiss please tell me.
-
Sorry, I can't help. :(
Does not make sense for me; I don't see errors, and, anyway, in my experience when there's an error DGen refuses to build mission, logging an error message, like (e.g.): "can't find P_51B10".
About explosions, Asura's himself warns in his Manual: "IMPORTANT! If a mistyped or wrong payload specified then this may cause strange behavior when starting a mission – airplane explosions at runways, appearing airplanes with bent propellers, texture artifacts etc.". Is it possible that an ace in "bad one" requires some special aircraft or payload?
-
OK so here is a "bad" one from "Channel44"
....
Let me ask you just a question: why are you posting files from my "westfront campaign" here? and why are you "updating" them?

Yea, gotta be something like that. Oh well, I'm just deleting the [Aces] sections then.

Let me ask you just a question: why are you posting files from my "westfront campaign" here? and why are you "updating" them?
Sure thing.
- I am trying to make them work w/ Asura's DGen version.
- The "updates" consist of historically accurate (or as close as I can get) plane sets and skins for the USAAF 4th, 56th and 354th FGs
I hope that's OK as I am a fan of your work.

there is already a version for Asuras mod and 4.12 existing - if you are working with an older version of the campaign for 4.11 or 4.10 forget it
i didn´t know that my westfront campaign is included in Monty´s pack, that´s realy interesting because i didn´t give him my persmission and told him to remove my files from this silly pack

Detlef, at the time we were in constant contact and even spoke on Skype quite regularly. So don't misrepresent events please and ease up with your attitude, wading in with a sledgehammer.
If you don't wish to belong to our community that is your choice; but you know damned well we all benefit from working as a team here and all efforts are encouraged.
I never pointed out at the time that many of your DGen missions were based on scenery templates designed and built by me for previous campaigns. They probably still contain my scenery! We had also worked on new campaigns skinning and building missions together.
The point is that none of these spurious claims really hold any water. Its a game, we do it for free, we come here to be amongst friends and help one another.
The 'silly packs' you mentioned were immediately purged of your offending files UPON REQUEST TWO YEARS AGO. The links have also been down for some time because this is old obsolete work as far as I am concerned.
But if you must insist on a proprietorial stance please frame your words politely. Bear in mind that SAS is a two-way street, how many people have helped you in the past? How many still do?
No man is an island my friend - Lighten up for heaven's sake...

why are you posting files from my "westfront campaign" here? and why are you "updating" them?
Boelcke, your attitude brought you up on our radar screens before.
If you didn't understand yet, let me explain it again to you:
The SAS is a modding community where everything is shared among each other for free without restrictions.
If you have issues with this and think it'd be clever to threaten people for doing something which is the heart of this board, then... do it elsewhere.
Consider this your first warning...
i didn´t give him my persmission and told him to remove my files from this silly pack
...and this your second.
Don't talk like that to acknowledged modders of the SAS.
Second strike (http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,23602.0.html#post_aa100), 10 days time to consider.
Best regards - Mike

so you´re no longer respecting your own agreements at SAS?
According to this thread people are only allowed to freely use your work if you have agreed to this license:
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,41587.48.html
I have not accepted that, so what are you talking about?
I´m sharing my work for more than ten years now, the only condition is not to edit or upload my files elsewhere, it´s written on every page with my stuff, with downloading it you are accepting this. If you don´t like it, i´m sorry. It´s very simple Storebror, my work - my rules, not yours.
Long story in short: please delete my account here, i´m not interested in that kind of community you´re talking about.
Bye

Anyone know what controls/how to change squadron assignments to carriers? Are these happening inside the DGen.exe? I can't find a data file anywhere on this stuff to date.

This is impossible in DGen current version.
