DCG 3.49 Open Beta Test

[idefix44]

Oups.

I read vonOben's post to much quickly.

 

For me, Günther, is correctly displayed, using DCG 4.13b09 and a de_names.dat file of 500 names.

500 aces of Luftwaffe sorted by kills ( decreasing score, so Erich Hartmann is the first one )

Try it.

Thanks idefix

 

I tried your file and placed it in the IL2DCG\Data\dgen folder, and started a new DCG campaign but I still get names from the exe and not from the de_names.dat file

 

Have I placed the file in the correct place?

 

If I've placed the file in the correct place and I'm using the beta 13 I can't figure out why it's not working in my end, any ideas please? 

 

As I wrote earlier I only replaced the exe file since I couldn't detect any other upgraded files in the zip-file.

 

Best regards

The good location is IL2DCG\Data\

I don't see a link for 3.49?

Thanks idefix!

 

I placed your de_names.dat in IL2DCG\Data\ and that worked well  .
The umlaut letters are displayed correctly in both briefing and debriefing screens.

 

But the beta 13 doesn't seem to handle several underscores as in this example from your de_names.dat:

Heinrich Prinz_zu_Sayn_Wittgenstein

This is an old bug:

It seems that some routines are bugged in DCG. From the dcgerror.txt file:

All works fine. It is just unsightly.

I'll take another crack at the underscore bug. 

[Lowengrin]

Latest beta (#14) will hopefully address the underscores in pilot names and ferries not appearing in MDS missions.

[idefix44]

Thanks.

Hi, I just tried las beta #14 with stock v4.13.4 in auto full generation mode.

Created a new campaign and when I start the first mission I only see some background images, no cockpit, no plane.

(I can switch to another planes in external views though)....any help?

[idefix44]

DCG 3.49b14:

The ferries are back and the pilotes and locations names are displayed in the debriefing without "_".

 

Thanks again.

Did you start a campaign with a non-human flyable plane?

An BF-109 F2...it is a flyable plane, isn´t it?

[Lowengrin]

It is.

 

Something else is wrong, but I have no idea what.

[arquillos]

Ok, Thakns anyway. I´ll try to reinstall everything and debug the error.

Hi Paul,

 

i got still issues with the latest RC 3.49b14

 

After a few mission I receive a integer error

 

 

 

 

Do you got any idea what could cause that?

[vch34278]

Hi. If select Russian in the preferences, in some cases, mission dont generated with error "$" is not a valid integer value. For example, if a marine squad (UN or IJN) is assigned a ground field, or in a subcampaign using a file xxx.prd.

Hi Nephris - I use to see that when my class.dcg was hosed. Check your Aircraft Class Setting module or your .mis file to see which Polish aircraft that maybe ends in a "D2" was added incorrectly.

[Lowengrin]

This beta (hopefully) addresses the issue with the TCapture command.  And that is all.

[idefix44]

Thanks and welcome back Sir!

[idefix44]

I have downloaded the il2dcg349beta15.zip file and some thing seems to be strange...

 

From il2dcg349beta14.zip:

The README.txt file has been updated (TCapture command fix notified) but the il2dcg.exe file seems to be the same (size, modified date and CRC).

 

Am I wrong?

[Lowengrin]

That is strange because I definitely updated them within minutes of the other.  I'll double check.

 

Edit: You're right.  The exe didn't seem to get bundled in the zip....

[Lowengrin]

My bad.  I made the changes and then forgot to recompile the exe. 

 

So I just copied the exe from the last build over. 

 

 

[idefix44]

Your updates are always eagerly awaited, Sir!
