Offline missions download

[PrivateConrad]

No clue how to download offline missions. Is there anyone that can help me out? Thanks!

While in-game... On your clipboard to the bottom right will display "staged missions"... Then you will be able to select the first option to view a list of available missions... NEXT BE SURE TO CLICK THE CHECKBOX for display foor all terrains... choose download and enjoy

It's showing me nothing. I downloaded a mission from askmisterwizard, the pacmix mission. I downloaded the terrain, put pacmix.res (saved as RES file) in missres folder under pacmix, and I have PacMix01.fld, PacMix01.pln, and PacMix.var (saved as FLD file, PLN file, and VAR file, none as htm or html) in the chconfig folder under SolomonC. Opened Aces High, went to the staged missions on the clipboard, and clicked on the select missions option, but every text box was blank, and every drop box was blank. This was right after reinstalling the game. Where did I go wrong?

It sounds like you have done everything right. Did you designate "SolomonC" in the "choose terrain" option when you started Aces High? Do you see the solomon islands on your clipboard (Guadalcanal, Bougainville, New Britain, etc.)?

Yeah, I was able to get onto the terrain, but no missions showed up. Also, running v 2.31.3, so should I just get 2.12 and download the missions for that version?

See the Bomb and Gunnery Practice post about 6 posts down.  It has instructions in a pdf format you can download and follow.  Good luck.

What you did works on my system. But perhaps you are using a different operating system from my ancient XP system.

You might try just storing the .RES file directly into your "missres" folder (instead of putting it in the pacmix subfolder). Maybe that will work.

Yeah, I tried that too, but still no luck. Got 2.12.4 and it works fine on that, just can't get the sound files working for some reason. To be honest, I think I like 2.12.4 better except for the way the damaged stuff is listed. Is LAN something we can expect to come back to the game in future patches or was it removed because not enough people were paying?

[bbosen]

I do not expect LAN support to ever return again.

It was removed because a very few unscrupulous individuals were found to be cheating.

HTC is very clear that cheating is not tolerated.

If you will follow instructions for version 2.12.4 from my website very very carefully, I am confident that the sound files will work. Many, many people have had success with them. But you must be sure to follow instructions in absolute detail.

When you get the sound files in place, your experience should be almost exactly like the video clips you can see in the YouTube preview clips from my website.

Good luck.

For some reason, I don't have (nor can I find) the SolomanC terrain.

(edit) Nevermind - I've found it. Now if I can just get PacMix to work (or edit my own offline mission).
