Hi Riksen!! It has been a heck of a long time :) How you been? We've been using this thing for ROF for a while now just waiting for the chance to fire it up for the new IL2 :D

///Back on topic :P///

I set the launcher options in steam to "-server" and it came up with a DOS screen. I downloaded the missions oxygenthief placed on the forums (thank you!) And it seems if we had some sort of read-me the dedicated server part would work.

type in "help" to get commands or the "?". It seems that "missLoad" is the command to fire up a mission. It also seems that all the missions that the dedicated software look for are in the Documents/1c SoftClub folder.

Attached is a screenshot of what I've gotten so far trying it with my game install on the laptop:

As you can see, it's trying to load, but there are errors. If someone could figure out the commands or entries to put into the .config file or if **Hint Hint Luthier or someone from 1c could explain it to us** we should be golden, hopefully. Something for people to try anyways :)

were does the launcher look for a mission.
what is the default path>?

no matter where i put the .mis all im getting is "no map in mission file" :(

same here

I was getting that as well with all the stock missions that came in the mutiplayer folder. What I did was downloaded oxygenthief's missions and not only place them in the 1cSoftClub folder root but in every single folder that said anything about mission IE - mission, missions, coop, dogfight, multi etc. etc. (and in all the root folders that were empty lol)

I don't know exactly where it's pulling the .mis file from but when I hit the command "misLoad Airfield Attack.mis" that's what you can see in the previous screen shot. The mission may have been running with the object errors. I don't really know.

I had waited for a few minutes after the mission showed loading and saw no more information in the black box.

Hope this helps!

this is not an error in the map.
I get this error even if the map is not runing.
Start the launcher and do not type the missLoad.
type "sc" and you ll see its;) not the map

I set up a quick MP mission over the English Channel. I've kept it simple for now, in case there are problems and it would be easier to bug it.

I set an airfield for bombers in Ramsgate, further from the south coast in order to allow them to get a good altitude, with Manston next to it for escort/intercept.

Three airfield's on the south coast for fighters.

AA at each airfield, and a couple of locations for radar (unsure if they actually do anything on their own).

I did the same for the Blue team. Bomber airfield located at St-Omer-Arques, escort/intercept at St-Omer-Wizernes.

I have noticed that sometimes aircraft spawn in a house.. with that they explode, but I'm not sure if there is a way to sort that or not.

All spawn's work though, I did basic testing as I could.

Feel free to use it, have it tested, and changes can be made. The mission can be expanded to include locations for the bombers, whether that's buildings or columns of tanks, boats etc.

Not too sure what's possible with scripting, could be nice to have a time on the map, and perhaps some basic scoring system or objectives.

Seems you have some issues.. but feel free to test the mission if you like.

Bliss it works. All we need to figure out is where does the launcher look for .mis

where did you download this map from bliss>?
