If you could make it so My hurri fights 2 enemy Hurris MK2's.

I really appreciate what youve done  I tried editing the offmis file but i keep getting P51's or CTD's

I printed the original offmis and an edited one to compare, but i still keep making a mistake somewhere LOL

stickpig, I just PMed the link of the 2vs1 Hurricane IIc mission to you, and it's a bit buggy, but here it is for anyone else who wants to try:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/dec164f0-4277-4143-92cf-7dc4de8c9682/1hurricane--vs-2hurricanes

kotrenin, I just tried out the spitfires on your mission, and had the same problem you described.

Tempest, I did an RV-8 versus a C-47A mission, and there were no 'warps' but otherwise it worked well until the AI C-47 flew into the ground and vanished (no kill message  :cry ).  It shouldn't be any different to make from any other mission, so you might have changed something else that causes the game to crash, or you're putting the numbers in the wrong place.  You should try starting again from another copy of the original mission.
Here's a link to the RV-8 and C-47A mission I did:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/6f9bab1d-a378-4732-8ff2-6a1d696cba02/RV8-vs-C-47

Have fun  :D

Hub, Puck, Yossarian, Kotrenin, <<S>> gents!

Thank you for your inputs! Now I can have all the DACT I want! :D

I summarized all the most important info in 1 txt file for anyone who doesn't want to jump back and forth across the pages of this thread:

http://files.filefront.com/Offline+missions+editingtxt/;9886809;/fileinfo.html

Something's missing, I just put in it the basics, if someone wants to edit it and make it a real tutorial, feel free to do so.

Ok, here's how to change the country variable:

Where it says:
oneonone
0x0
ndisles
(default)
0
[MISSION]
4Battle of Britain East 109s
0
0

0:0:0:0:0.00:0.00:0.00:0.00:0.00
0,0
0,0
0
[MFLAGS]

The stuff in red changes that part's colour.  I think 2=Rooks, 1=Knights, and 0=Bishops (not sure though).  I don't know why there's two numbers (I just changed both of them, and got blown up by ack on runway,  :rofl :furious

Here's the links to that stuff.  For a quick death, fly a spitfire  :D
Mission file:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/c047ae9a-9122-417d-9e08-05996e05b237/Copy-(2)-of-Copy-of-Battle-of-Britain

http://www.esnips.com/doc/c402b74b-3cc4-4d64-a352-48330d083f4b/oops..changed-country-offmis-variable-wrong-way

I've only tried flying spitfires in this version of the mission.

Also, I'm quite sure that this ack-death on runway will be solved by changing the starting point/waypoints.

<S>

Yossarian

EDIT:  Does anyone know what the
oneonone
0x0
bit does?

I found that the weapon sets correspond to the sets for each plane in the hanger. "0" is the first row "1" the second and so forth.  Some planes like the 110-G2 have multiple primary guns to chose from.

Kotrenin, I thought about that, but it didn't work with the Ki84, don't know why...

have someone tried to change the map?

You would need to reset all the coordinates to go with a new map.  They would need to correspond to a starting/ending airfield.

I did however try to change some coordinates in the plane set line.

196608,10,2,14,14,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,-83370.343819,0.000000,-30572.162808,0,0.000000

I increased their values by +100 and the corresponding planes started to the left of the original start point, on an angle, then after starting their engines they taxied to the runway (I  presume there is a waypoint there) and continued on their original flight path.

In Ki84, the pylon loadout is set with the number in the first row... oddly enough. Maybe the various row refers to the position of the loadouts in hangar? Apart from guns, positions are not the same for each plane.

I checked the KI-84 and it only has center point loadout options, 0=empty, 1=bombs, 2=drop tanks.

Remember even though the KI-84 actually carries its load on their wings the loadouts are still listed in the center loadout list.


EDIT: Yes it should all correspond to what you see in the hanger. i.e. first row across is "0", second row is "1" and so on.

Not what I meant, Kotrenin. The weapons setting works this way:

[WEAPONSETS]
0                             <----- this row controls the loadout that you see in the middle when in hangar (wing points for Ki, center for other planes)
0                             <----- this row controls the guns loadout
0                             <----- this row controls the loadout you see on the left in hangar (nothing for Ki, wings or center for other planes)
1                             <----- this row controls the fuel loadout
[ENDWEAPONSETS]

Try it on various planes, it should be right.

EDIT: Ok, I'm positive it works as I wrote. I'm editing my .txt file.

I'm going to try and work out the coordinates/waypoints now.  I'll look at the position of the airfields, and see how/if it corresponds to any waypoints.

So can we look forward to a one vs. two (AI)? 

Also, will there be a skill level option ie. easy to ace?
