Is there a change log with the updates? Thanks for your continuing work! http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/image/s14.gif

While there is a test version I don't fix an ipravileniye. In the course of tests some algorithms also change - something is added, something is cleaned. The list of changes in versions I will start doing after RC1 release.

Haven't been able to run your DGen. When trying to start any campaign I keep getting .dat files missing logged in the DGen Mod ERROR log (AllPlanesDB.dat, AllWeapons.dat, etc.). The DGen/Mod folder is installed.

Wait a little, please. I now prepare version 2.0.0.4, in archive I will add all necessary files not to get confused.

No problem. Thanks! :)

http://www.mediafire.com/?am4z967x81p87r9

v2.0.0.4 (18/2013)
+ removed separation by theatres
+ a completely new target acquisition algorithm
+ a new briefing system
+ a new Language= parameter in the DGen_mod.ini, this parameter allows to choose the language of Dgen messages.
This setting doesn't depend on the in-game language setting.
Available languanges: Russian, English, German, French, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Japanese.
+ some bugs fixed

In archive complete set of necessary files and automatic setup.

Is it possible to get new "campaignXXY.dat" and "planesXXY.dat" files -if they are available? (xx=countrycode e.g. RU, Y=CampCod e.g. B)

In campaign mode I can only select the planes that were available before - are there updated files with current planeset available?

Unfortunately old I have no time for creation of new campaigns or modification. Here it is possible to look at information on campaigns for DGen_MOD

http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.ph...c,20104.0.html

Small updating http://www.mediafire.com/?3f1z2serlah7612

v2.0.0.5 (21/02/2013)
+ fix bugs in briefing system
+ fix bugs in calculation of the ships
+ fix bugs in use of files *Planes.dat

Simply replace DGen.exe

many thanks, Asura

v2.0.0.7 (29/03/2013)
+ some bugs fixed

Thank you!

Hi Asura! Thanks a lot for your work, I use to fly the Dgen campaigns but because of a litle doughter at home I don´t have the time to try your improvements! I hope soon will enjoy it again!!!
Thanks:-)

Many many thanks, Asura. :) Adding a ton of new flexibility in DGen campaign building that didn't exist before, especially with European maps!

Just ran the latest DGen, and got major CPU loading when running IL-2 with it. All cores were pegged at 100%, and everything else on the system that was running bogged down. Problem persisted even after shutting down IL-2.

Closed down IL-2, restarted system, and reinstalled v2.0.0.6, then re-ran IL-2. Problem disappeared. Removed v2.0.0.6 and reinstalled v2.0.0.7, restarted IL-2 again, and the issue returned. Had to restart system again. Went back to v2.0.0.6.

I installed the update and I was unable to create a new campaign. I must have messed up the installation, so I'll try again later.

Send me log file please, and tell on what campaign there is a problem?

Reinstalled v2.0.0.7 today and ran it for the first time since the reported issue occurred, and now it decides not to reproduce itself. Obviously something on my end was causing it then, even after I though I had successfully isolated the source of the issue.

My apologies.

No problem. :)

... many thanks Asura for all your work

Hi, everybody! Development of the next version took more time than there was a wish, but all that was planned is made.

v2.0.0.8 (24/05/2013)
+ added settings for begin and end of the night
+ added weather settings
+ added wind settings in the section [WEATHER]
+ changed groups processing order in ops files
+ KhalkhinGol map data by Juri_JS
+ Manchuria map data by Juri_JS
+ Battle of Britain map (CAN_EnglishChannel) data by Boelcke
+ Malta map (mrz_Malta) data by kowi76
+ some bugs fixed

http://www.mediafire.com/download/2i...OD_2.0.0.8.zip

In new parameters DGen_mod.ini are added:

NightBeginW=17 - hour of the beginning of night in the winter
NightEndW=7 - hour of the termination of night in the winter
NightBeginS=20 - hour of the beginning of night in the summer
NightEndS=4 - hour of the termination of night in the summer

In the settingsXxX.dat files the optional section [MapNight] is added. For each map of campaign it is possible to determine the time of the beginning of night.

[MapNight]
SolomonsAug1942 Random 17 8
SolomonsOct1942 Random 16 9

The 1st parameter - the map name
The 2nd - type of night missions (Random - old algorithm of definition of possibility of creation of night missions, True - always night missions, False - always day missions)
The 3rd - hour of the beginning of night
The 4th - hour of the termination of night

In the settingsXxX.dat files the optional section [MapWeather] is added. For each map of campaign it is possible to establish probability as a percentage emergence of weather conditions.

[MapWeather]
Wake1943 30 40 16 5 3 3 3

[map] [cloudlessly] [clearly] [haze] [a weak fog] [fog] [rain/snow] [thunder-storm]

Wake1943 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 - always a clear weather.

In the settingsXxX.dat files the optional section [MapWind] is added. For each map of campaign it is possible to establish probability as a percentage emergence of a wind with a certain speed.

[MapWind]
Wake1943 60 30 8 2

[map] [0 - 3 ms breeze] [3 - 8 ms moderate] [8 - 11 ms fresh] [11 - 14 ms strong]

I while will freeze active completion of the generator and I will be engaged in preparation of the detailed instruction on all files and settings of the generator. In version 2.0.0.9 will be it is ruled mistakes and the full instruction of version 2.

I just saw this thread and I am glad someone is working on the Dgen since the amount of good static campaigns is limited.

I hope it's okay if I ask this, does this project have anything to do with the Lowengrin's DCG? And what are the main differences?

Cheers

They have some basic concepts in common, but nothing more, so far as I know. Asura's Dgen_mod is based on the code and files of the original Dgen shipped with the game (but abandoned afterwards). Lowengrin's DCG is a completely different 3rd party product with its own campaign data files.

The main difference is in their approach to ground war. In Dgen, ground war is "just happening" according to a pre-defined schedule, and air war has only an indirect impact on it (e.g. victory in the air delays enemy advance, or can help your side to progress faster, whichever is applicable). DCG has a wider scope in so far as it recreates the whole battlefield with individual (ground, air and naval) units, which all can be destroyed individually. Here air war has a direct impact on gound war (and vice versa!), and a tactical loss can turn out to be a strategic victory.

In short, Dgen simulates typical air combat situations, while DCG simulates air combats resulting from (changing) battlefield situations.

Okay, thanks!

I'm getting no Radio feedback from AI pilots in German Dgen campaigns. Tried different campaigns. USAAF, USM, USN, GB, all work... No DE. Anybody else notice this? Your work is awesome just to let you know!

Yes, I noticed the same. Communication with ground controll is also not working when flying as German pilot.

Salute!
Is this latest version 4.12 compliant?

Not 100%. At the moment shared kills are not working and the data for the new planes from 4.12 is missing.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/r8...OD_2.0.0.9.zip

v2.0.0.9 (01/07/2013)
+ data on planes for version 4.12
+ installation program 2.1
+ support of a long code of campaign (1-10 letters)
+ some bugs fixed

"shared kills" will be realized in 2.0.0.10

http://www.mediafire.com/download/e5...OD_2.0.0.9.zip

The setup is corrected

Thanks!

Question...
I install it as required, then start an Axis campaign (Barbarossa) and I always end up with the same missions.. as if I was using the original IL2 Dgen...?
Is this supposed to happen (scripted missions) or should it vary !

Any ideas ?

To K Freddie
Which of the original De Campaigns did you try, North, South, or Center? Because none of them are working for me... I'm compiling a list of what is working and what doesn't on my computer. It just might be my setup.
Thanks

Thanks for your contiuing work on this.
However, I get no voice chatter at all when playing a German campaign. Other nationalities have chatter, though. Voice chatter is turned "on" in the menu.

I added the B5N2 to the "*Imperial Japanese Navy Bomber", campaign (IN2) get an error when I try to gen Pearl Harbor mission...

Try adding the following line in the classesIN2 file of the campaign:
B5N2 GROUND

A problem I noticed, after I added the B5N2 is, that it never carries any bombs or torpedos. I guess this is a problem of the latest DGen version. I noticed this with other carrier aircraft too.

Oddly enough Wake segment gens fine without changing the class, just something about Hawaii it doesn't like when it is left as default class of Bomber (Pearl Harbor mission probably has some hard-coding somewhere). It does get a loadout for Wake but the ones of the other flights is different...I've seen this in other campaigns as well.

Strange, I don't get loadouts at Wake.

I genned wake without changing the class to Ground, maybe the difference. When I change class to Ground and gen Hawaii, I get no loadout. In any case it looks like loadout stuff needs a good going through.

Hi tried the emial... Didn't work so I'll put it here.
These are my findings so far...
German, Japanese, Finnish and Italian original Il 2 campaigns get hung up or don't work at all. Splash screen hung or just a beep when started.
All of the above also have no radio call back from squadron mates or home base.
So Russian, most of USA and British campaigns seem to be working. I'll test some more...
Thanks for all the work on this and the Solomons campaign is awesome!
Any questions just ask...

Hi, I have 2.009 installed. How come I don't see allplanes.dat and allclass.dat files? I also have HSFX6 installed, I tried to bring HSFX planes into Dgen.

Long ago there were no new versions of the generator, but it doesn't mean that the project calmed down. All this time of Boelcke, Juri_JS and Motorhead checked version 2 which united all the best that was made for two main parts of game. Now the generator really uniform and as game doesn't depend on theater of operations.
True development of the generator will begin with version 2.0.1.0 - now it is possible to add quietly new opportunities, the base is for this purpose created. According to the link stable DGen_MOD version.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3p...OD_2.0.1.0.zip

About plans on development I will write a bit later when they will finally be created for now you look new campaigns from Boelcke, Juri_JS and Motorhead for DGen_MOD 2.0 ;)

Asura's DGen_MOD version 2.0.1.0 or later.

The official discussion thread is here:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintwork....php?7624.post

Man, I'm running 4.7 (4.07?), most of the mods, including TD, require me to log onto some server, and I'm not really cool with that.

If you are worried about safety, download the patches from M4T. It is 100% safe, but you have to register first.

If you don't trust Mediafire, Asura's DGen is also available at Axis and Allies Paintworks. You can download it without having to register.

Page 6 of the DGen_UserManual_En.pdf


Normally the skill level is as follows.
0 - Rookie
1 - Average
2 - Veteran
3 - Ace

Which Skill level was removed to add the random feature and how do they correspond to the current setup?
0 - ??
1 - ??
2 - ??
3 - Random

If you are going to allow all skill levels plus a random feature the options should run from 0 to 4.

0 - Rookie
1 - Average
2 - Veteran
3 - Ace
4 - Random

The available values descriptions for the CampaignAI feature seem to be for the Campaign length feature.

Is the CampaignLength feature actually disabled at this time?

What are the available values for the CampaignAI feature?

Pages 10 & 11 of the DGen_UserManual_En.pdf

If my list of old DGen codes corresponds correctly with the new DGen list how are the countries that used to have multiple DGen codes (USA, England, Japan) in the old DGen code handled now that they have been combined into a Single country code?

Will this list be user editable so more countries can be added since you have also removed the None (NN - None (can create yourself in Windows)) country option?

MaxBomberSkill establishes the general level of preparation of AI

[RAF_No512SQN10]
Planes 4
Skill0 0 - only this parameter, restriction on the maximum value, all that is defined by random way less
skin0 placeholder.bmp

CampaignAI - in the instruction a typographical error thank you that noticed

CampaignAI – controls the balance of skill between friendly and enemy AI flights.
Available values:
CampaignAI =Hard – enemy AI are more skilful.
CampaignAI =Normal – the default value. Level of skills is set historically correct
CampaignAI =Easy – friendly AI are more skilful.

Nation - don't confuse the nation of the plane and codes of campaigns, these are different things.

Discussion thread:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintwork...topic.php?7659

Well this is the best thing since sliced bread (or 4.12), great job. I'm going to have to update the default campaigns with new planes.

After a long break the next version of the generator is ready. In it while there are no big changes, time was spent on debugging of available algorithms and on addition of data for different versions of game. In the following versions precisely there will be new types of missions and other changes. For now here:

v2.0.1.2 (20/06/2014)
+ user manual v.2.1
+ the algorithm of use drop tanks is reworked
+ added data on aircraft (528 lines) and armament (over 6000 lines)
+ corrected errors, caused collisions of large aircraft groups during the start of a mission
+ the MissionDistance parameter reworked - allowed values: Full - full flight distance, Medium - 75%, Short - 50%
+ the CampaignLength parameter reworked - it works as in the first version, but also takes into account the number of flights during the day
+ other errors corrected

v2.0.1.1 (01/04/2014)
+ corrected routes for strike groups, attacking moving targets
+ corrected markings of stationary aircraftmarkings
+ added data for Bessarabia and Slovakia maps (by Juri_JS and Lagarto)
+ added aircraft data for DBW 1.71
+ added aircraft data for HSFX 7 (by IV/JG7_4Shades and Charlie Chap)
+ other errors corrected

http://www.mediafire.com/download/j3...OD_2.0.1.2.zip

I get a virus alert downloading.

The generator is written as the program without window, often so write viruses. Some anti-virus programs in panic belong to DGen_MOD. Purity of my computers is regularly checked by KAV and NOD32 :) Viruses in archive aren't present.

For those who are having problems with Mediafire the new DGen is also available at Axis and Allies Paintworks:
http://www.axis-and-allies-paintwork...d.php?view.807

Thanks Asura, batyushka, and Juri, golubnik, I've downloaded from A&A without problems.

Cheers,
GB

Sorry for my ignorance.
Is the download in the link by Juri the complete new DGen or just a patch? In other words: if I want to give it a try and install it on a virgin 4.12.1 (or HSFX) do I have to install what I get from this download only, or do I have to install other things firdst (and if so, where do I find them)?
Thanks in advance,

Der Da

It is the full new DGen version, not a patch.

Thanks a lot.
I am looking forward to test it, while all my familiy is busy watching football :)

Wow! Thanks so much for continuing your excellent work on this project.

Berlin campaign crash?
 

Did anyone manage to test it in German campaign, particularly the end? I'd like to know will it be a cure for crash that doesn't let you finish the campaign (No matter what you do, whatever squadron are you into, what is your rank, it crashes at April 29 with "no MAP in mission file" and empty briefing window).

Hi is there a way to get english manual? I've installed the 2.0.3.0 zip but can't see any difference in game after starting a new campaign. The only difference is the presence of a DGenMod subfolder in my 1946 installation.
Thanks

Hello, I don't know if thread is still active.
I use stock Il-2 '46 4.13.4 and for some campaigns use Asura's DGen 2.0.5.0
I'm searching some DGen campaigns that use the Tobruk map, but I'm unable to find anything, so I woul like to try to scratch for myself (I have only a very vague idea on it, so I will only "try"), but in DGen/MOD folder I haven't the correct files for tobruk map (tobrukAF, tobrukBR and tobrukTown): where I can found these files? or I have to make it?

Thank you and bye! :)

P.S. there are some news about Asura's DGen in next TD patch?

DGen_MOD_1.0.1.0.zip has an English manual, it helps explain most of the features.
