Nephris Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi, is it possible to create a custom Message in the Briefing? Like Server Commands, battlefield explanation sth like that. I dont want to create a new Briefing entry via the timetable for each day, as I dont really know how long a campaign runs. A workaorund )maybe within the messages.dcg would be fine aswell.

idefix44 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 In the dcg.ini file, I use the ServerInfo line. Like this: ServerInfo=Before take-off, external view is allowed for easier taxiing. The sentence "Before take-off, external view is allowed for easier taxiing." is added at the bottom of the briefing each mission. I never try a longest sentence...

Nephris Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 A solution to edit it campaign dependant, like in a file within the campaign folder would be more comfortable. However very goog hint to edit in the ini direclty, thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephris Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 The dirty workaround is to substitute a variable from the messages file with your fixe message. For instance I use Details determined by players. as this string is called in each mission (MDS Dogfight). Instead that stock String I enter my message, which also means I can use my message side dependant. messages.dcg original Maintain air superiority over <TGTNAME> Fly an artillery spotting mission over <TGTNAME> Fly a search and destroy mission between <TGTNAME1> and <TGTNAME2> Destroy enemy carriers in <TGTNAME> <PLANE>s from <SQUAD> are assigned close escort duty. Details determined by players. Select your airbase and aircraft before proceeding. Select your aircraft before receiving the day's briefing. Fly a sweep between <TGTNAME1> and <TGTNAME2>[News] The campaign has ended. The Third Reich is victorious! edited messages.dcg .................. Fly an artillery spotting mission over <TGTNAME> Fly a search and destroy mission between <TGTNAME1> and <TGTNAME2> Destroy enemy carriers in <TGTNAME> <PLANE>s from <SQUAD> are assigned close escort duty. \n\nThis is where I wrote my text for e.g. designated Bombertargets etc etc \n\n next text line \n\n next tesxt line Select your airbase and aircraft before proceeding.
