Offline Campaigns announcements

[Ataros]

First, I think a subforum or at least a sticky thread is needed to announce offline campaigns to make them easier to find for newcomers (as there is one at sukhoi.ru forums). Anyway feel free to use this thread for announcements of your campaigns to keep it up if the mods do not make it sticky.

2nd. As I read a lot of valid complains on the game lacking deeply thought through content I think I would post a link to user-made campaigns (4 campaigns ATM of this post) posted at sukhoi.ru. They have briefings in Russian but free online translators are pretty good nowadays so I decided to post the link anyway. Some of the campaigns have scripts (.cs files) that print messages on screen. You may wish to open the scripts with notepad and translate these messages as well.

Sorry, I do not have time to translate all the campaigns myself but if you are stuck with some Russian slang I would try to help if I am around.

I am not an offliner and can not comment on the campaigns as they are. I noticed only that a campaign created by Vetochka (a young lady btw) has C# scripting that calculates numbers of downed and lost aircraft, success conditions, gives debriefings, ets. If you make our own campaigns you may wish to check the scripts out. However as she claims she is not a professional programmer and the scripting is rather basic. I think it is worth to notice that while so many grown-up(?) over-30 man at these forums can produce nothing more constructive than whining, bitching, crying in tears and begging give-me-give-me-give-me for my last $50 spent on the game, a young girl can make as much as creating her own campaign with C# scripts (being a lawyer, not a programmer). Sorry for OT.

Google does not allow you to download files through translated pages. Use direct link to download files. Navigate by authors names which are in English anyway http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=226
Feel free to register and comment at sukhoi.ru forums.

Let's keep announcements of all new campaigns in one thread making them easier to find for newcomers.

An easteregg in the british campaign that came with the game is that if you down the 110 at the end Florence will turn around and sit in your lap facing you while flashing her T's (she still wear the bra mind you). Not animated but kinda fun.

Thanks Ataros, much appreciated. New content is always welcome.
And I agree with the part above.

LOL, No fuss you say?
I can't download from it since the download limit has been reached. Ridiculous running a file-server on a server with limited downloads!

[Gamekeeper]

You would need to download 50 files in one day to hit a limit, that setting should be high enough for reasonable use and exists to stop bots downloading. The limit is set to zero after 24 hours.
How many files did you download to trigger this?

Try again, tests ok...

Thanks for this, great initiative.

Have to agree with this, I'd love new campaigns but not in Russian! Good idea to keep them in one place though, and thanks to the OP for bringing them to the forum's attention. :) I'll keep an eye on this thread, and will be testing/trying them as soon as one is released with briefings I can read :D

[Vengeanze]

Didn't anyone bite on my easteregg?:confused:

Hi, Gamekeeper!

I did not translate any of the campaigns. Shame on me: do not have time for Il-2 recently.

The campaigns are translated by adonys and gabuzomeu. I just posted links to them in order to keep everything in one thread.
Please update description of Eagle Day campaign to mention adonys as the translator.

[Ataros]

Spitfire over Dunkirk campaign updated. Here is a good opportunity to welcome its author to our forums http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpost.php?p=308094&postcount=15

[Orpheus]

Quick question re these campaigns - are they all of the 50-100 + planes variety? The German campaign I downloaded was great, but a bit clunky due to the sheer number of aircraft used!

Campaigns with a somewhat more limited size of mission might make all this hard work flyable by low-end users too. :)

[Ataros]

I can not answer this question, sorry. Try asking in each campaign dedicated thread.

[Stiboo]

Yes good idea for a thread -

Thanks for all your ideas and work on pushing campaigns Ataros

--------------------------------------------------------------------


My very first campaign ' Glory Is The End ' will see you flying with 43 Squadron RAF ' Fighting Cocks' - a classic Battle Of Britain Hurricane squadron.

43 Sqaudron were at the very heart of the battle, shooting down the first German plane on English soil they also flew over Dunkirk. Stationed at Tangmere they flew throughout most of the Battle Of Britain.

The squadron suffered heavy losses but covered themselves with glory shooting down dozens of German aircraft. Will you rise through the ranks to become the ' Chief Cock ' of 43 Squadron!

my Campaigns website -http://www.bigwing.net/index.html

I'm still getting to grips with the new FMB and testing lots of stuff and waiting for a better understanding of scripts, expect the campaign Sept / Oct.


I think it was 5 years into IL2 before I completed building my first ever campaign!!

Cheers

Simon

Good thread, thanks Ataros.

[GuillermoZS]

I´m 99% offliner. Great post. Thanks Ataros :grin:

Campaign runs fine on My Duel core + GTX560Ti. I think she has done a great job with this campaign and the clever scripting. Compliments to the lass!

New campaign from Vetochka http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sukhoi.ru%2Fforum%2Fshowthread. php%3Ft%3D71437

Other campaigns translated to English http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=53&view=viewcategory&catid=4

[Blackdog_kt]

Parts of the google-translated text are a bit hard to understand some times, but i got most of it and it sounds really wicked: custom made scoring system, awards and promotions, kill confirmation (or lack of it, resulting in non-credited kills) and squadron supply pool of available aircraft, all of it sounds very good and it shows what can be done with the sim.

I'm looking forward to an English translated version, thanks for the heads up Ataros ;-)



Also, i think i should sticky this thread to help people have more campaigns to fly in single player. It would have to be only for announcements and giving links.
For discussion, troubleshooting, advice, etc, each campaign would be discussed in its own thread in the FMB and mission builder section of the forums and not here, this would only be so that these campaigns get some more exposure by having a "what's new" thread stickied on the front page.

What do you guys think?

[Ataros]

Vetochka mentioned they are working on translation.

Several people in that thread http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25362 agreed that a sticky or forums section is needed with a collection of links to all offline content to make it easier for newcomers to find.

[ATAG_Doc]

Anyone ever shot the little sports car yet?

[jimbop]

Yes, sticky please. Thanks for the links everyone.

[Blackdog_kt]

Well then, sticky it is ;-)

Let's just keep it for announcements and links only, so people can easily browse through it.

If i may make a few suggestions:

1) Posts here should be like this: "A new offline campaign by this user is available, here's a brief description, here's the download link and here's the campaign thread link to the FMB,missions and campaigns discussions section of the forums".

2) Instructions on how to install, troubleshooting, suggestions, gameplay comments, etc, should be made on the FMB,missions and campaigns discussions section in order to keep this thread easy to browse, just a simple directory pointing people to the campaign.

Of course, this means that each campaign should have it's own thread in the FMB,missions and campaigns discussions section so that any further information can carry over there.


In other words, if someone has a new campaign available, please post it here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=203
and then announce it in this thread.

It's not the end of the world if you forget to do it and people start discussing it in this thread, i'll just make a thread myself for the campaign, move the relevant posts there and come back here in this thread to tell you all where i moved them to.

Don't confuse this for moderation/"punishment", it will only be done so we can have our community resources organized in an easy to browse manner and be able to find what we want with just a quick look.

Does it sound good to you guys or not? I'm all ears :grin:

[zorlac]

Makes perfect sense ;)

[Ataros]

This link was not mentioned here yet.

Dynamic Campaign 1.0 http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25362

The thread is not located in the FMB section BTW, may be worth moving there.

[FFCW_Urizen]

@Blackdog_kt and @Ataros:

I suggest editing the First Post or the first few posts, so that they contain all links, after a few years, i don´t think that anyone will be looking through 50+ pages ;) .
second i would categorize them into (semi) dynamic campaigns and static campaigns, after all, ppl have a different taste for campaigns.

[gabuzomeu]

Hi
Just translated the fantastic new campaign from Vetochka & Bubik on Sukhoi.ru
Broken Google english mostly, but I hope you enjoy as much as I do!
Cheers!

[Bryan21cag]

quick question.... Is there a possibility of merging all the new campaigns for this game onto mission4today? It has been really nice and easy to get all my IL246 offline campaigns from that site and I have never had any issues with getting the campaigns to work once I figured out all the basics that is :)

Anyway I have not tried using the new campaigns for CLOD yet because from what I understand its not just as simple as coping files into a folder any more..? or is it? if I am wrong about this then someone please correct me :)

But even if its not keeping all of the IL2 content on one site would have its advantages :) Just curious :)

Oh and by the way a great big CHEERS for new content. This is a great thing to happen :) now I just hope I figure out how to add it in and I am golden :)

[Blackdog_kt]

There is an equivalent to mission4today so that each title has its own content library website, i think it's being run by the same people too: www.airwarfare.com

Quite a few of these campaigns are already hosted there ;-)
