Nephris Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 Since 4.12.1 the recon plane feature works again in MDS. Would it be possible to add the refering lines from the mission section to transfer from the master file to the actual playing mission? This is from the master file: [MAIN] MAP Balaton/load.ini TIME 12.0 CloudType 0 CloudHeight 1000.0 army 1 playerNum 0 [sEASON] Year 1940 Month 11 Day 15 [WEATHER] WindDirection 0.0 WindSpeed 0.0 Gust 8 Turbulence 3 [MAIN] MAP Bessarabia/load.ini TIME 12.0 CloudType 0 CloudHeight 1000.0 army 1 playerNum 0 [sEASON] Year 1940 Month 6 Day 15 [WEATHER] WindDirection 0.0 WindSpeed 0.0 Gust 0 Turbulence 0 [MDS] MDS_Radar_SetRadarToAdvanceMode 1 MDS_Radar_RefreshInterval 5 MDS_Radar_DisableVectoring 0 MDS_Radar_EnableTowerCommunications 1 MDS_Radar_ShipsAsRadar 0 MDS_Radar_ShipRadar_MaxRange 100 MDS_Radar_ShipRadar_MinHeight 100 MDS_Radar_ShipRadar_MaxHeight 5000 MDS_Radar_ShipSmallRadar_MaxRange 25 MDS_Radar_ShipSmallRadar_MinHeight 0 MDS_Radar_ShipSmallRadar_MaxHeight 2000 MDS_Radar_ScoutsAsRadar 1 MDS_Radar_ScoutRadar_MaxRange 4 MDS_Radar_ScoutRadar_DeltaHeight 900 MDS_Radar_HideUnpopulatedAirstripsFromMinimap 0 MDS_Radar_ScoutGroundObjects_Alpha 11 MDS_Radar_ScoutCompleteRecon 1 MDS_Misc_DisableAIRadioChatter 0 MDS_Misc_DespawnAIPlanesAfterLanding 1 MDS_Misc_HidePlayersCountOnHomeBase 0 MDS_Misc_BombsCat1_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 1.0 MDS_Misc_BombsCat2_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 1.0 MDS_Misc_BombsCat3_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 1.0 [MDS_Scouts_Red] U-2VS [MDS_Scouts_Blue] Fi-156 [RespawnTime] Bigship 0 Ship 0 Aeroanchored 0 Artillery 0 Searchlight 0 [Wing] 70IAP00 71IAP00 I_JG100 Generated mission file: [MAIN] MAP Ungarn44/load.ini TIME 10.0 CloudType 1 CloudHeight 4898 playerNum 0 [sEASON] Year 1944 Month 11 Day 2 [WEATHER] WindDirection 106.0 WindSpeed 0.0 Gust 0 Turbulence 0 [MDS] MDS_Radar_SetRadarToAdvanceMode 1 MDS_Radar_RefreshInterval 5 MDS_Radar_DisableVectoring 0 MDS_Radar_EnableTowerCommunications 1 MDS_Radar_ShipsAsRadar 0 MDS_Radar_ShipRadar_MaxRange 100 MDS_Radar_ShipRadar_MinHeight 100 MDS_Radar_ShipRadar_MaxHeight 5000 MDS_Radar_ShipSmallRadar_MaxRange 25 MDS_Radar_ShipSmallRadar_MinHeight 0 MDS_Radar_ShipSmallRadar_MaxHeight 2000 MDS_Radar_ScoutsAsRadar 1 MDS_Radar_ScoutRadar_MaxRange 4 MDS_Radar_ScoutRadar_DeltaHeight 900 MDS_Radar_HideUnpopulatedAirstripsFromMinimap 0 MDS_Radar_ScoutGroundObjects_Alpha 11 MDS_Radar_ScoutCompleteRecon 1 MDS_Misc_DisableAIRadioChatter 0 MDS_Misc_DespawnAIPlanesAfterLanding 1 MDS_Misc_HidePlayersCountOnHomeBase 0 MDS_Misc_BombsCat1_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 1.0 MDS_Misc_BombsCat2_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 1.0 MDS_Misc_BombsCat3_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 1.0 [WING] 77SquadronRAAF00 I_JG100 II_JG100 USA_FG_054_FS_056z00 .... ..... .. So appearently it is just about to add the section [MDS_Scouts_Red] [MDS_Scouts_Blue] to be transfered. note: that way the recon planes could also do recon jobs for each players side. Of course it depends, what settings the host uses (FoW icons need to be activated) offtopic: are ya still in RoF or shall wait for BoS to send ya another donation? Quote
Lowengrin Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Yeah, that sounds easy. (Sorry I missed this post when I was through last). But what do these "scouts" do in terms of MDS? I still fly RoF occasionally, but not as much as I used to. Quote
Nephris Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Posted October 9, 2013 Those scouts "scan" in a custom definable angle below, their flight route. Each static object or column within this angle below will be highlighted at the ingame map for the custom definable MDS_Radar_RefreshInterval , like 5 secs or more .Option FoW must be enabled in default Il2 1946 difficulty settings of course to make use of that feature. I guess it will be most usefull for MP players, as you now would be able to asign own recon flights as flyable plane. Doesnt matter if mod or not, as scouts can also be defined custom. Hope to get ya back in BoS ;-) Quote
Riksen Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Srry to ask but has this recon feature been implemented yet? Regards, Riksen Quote
sniperton Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Yep, see the 3.48 beta thread: Added some code to recognize MDS Scout tags in mission file headers. Added _ru.properties to help editing in the FMB. http://members.shaw.ca/l...ngrin/il2dcg384beta4.zip Quote
