That is a great idea - I will make the appropriate change!

I was wondering about that myself, I am not good at GUI design and implimentation....

For full control of each setting you must open the mission up in the full mission builder and adjust the individual sliders there...
Open the mission in the mission builder and do this: http://bobgamehub.blogspot.com/2012/...-of-dover.html

EDIT: As of version 0.2 you can open aiconf.ini and adjust the individual AI values there and the program will use your values and not mine...

I think I understand, it depends on the original mission, if the pilots in the flight have different skill levels they will be converted automatically.

Class Aircraft.SpitfireMkIIa
...
Skill0 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7
Skill1 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3
Skill2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Skill3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Skill4 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7 0.7
Skill5 0.7 0.5 0.5 1 1 0.8 0.5 0.5
Skill6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
the skills will be adjusted to:

Skill0 0.73 0.21 0.92 0.85 0.74 1 0.95 0.63
Skill1 0.32 0.21 0.87 0.75 0.74 0.95 0.90 0.53
Skill2 0.30 0.21 0.78 0.70 0.64 0.85 0.85 0.43
Skill3 0.93 0.21 0.96 0.95 0.84 1 1 0.63
Skill4 0.73 0.21 0.92 0.85 0.74 1 0.95 0.63
Skill5 0.7 0.5 0.5 1 1 0.8 0.5 0.5 (Notice that this one does NOT get converted)
Skill6 0.30 0.21 0.78 0.70 0.64 0.85 0.85 0.43

So if the mission designer wanted 1 ace in the flight and 2 rookies you will still end up with 1 ace and 2 rookies.

Thanks for the suggestions, Madfish! I work all weekend, but early this week I will make some changes.

I was notified via PM that the formatting of the mission file may be losing the carriage returns after editing, I use notepad++ and it must be hiding that from me....

I updated it to version 0.2: I added 'aiconf.ini' file so that AI can be hand edited to allow more customization and fixed the carriage return issue.

This a really nice tool, thanks for the hard work.

Tried this on the JG26 campaign, and omg the fighters attacked AND didnt defy gravity.

Sound cool. But how do I know what directory to point the deamon at? and how do I know if the program is working? Do i get any feedback in the deamon window?
Sorry if these questions are a bit silly but I need to know

Cheers

Remember, DCEMon is just for use with IL2DCE (dynamic campaign), otherwise try AITweak.

On Win 7 look for: C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\IL2DCE

For XP I believe it is: C:\Users\<your user name>\My Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\IL2DCE

The monitor shows the directory it is monitoring in green

and when it is working you will see a bit of text scroll by:


To test DCEMon, start the monitor and drop a file into the target directory and you should see some scrolling text.
To test AITweak copy some missions to the AITweak directory and run 'AIProcess.bat'.

Thanks for the reply but I am still a bit confused (it doesn't take much )
So I have to copy the il2DCE missions into the DCEmon target folder? ........................OK I just did that and got some feedback in the DCEmon window, but, what do I do now? Do I have to copy the files back into the original DCE folder?

Sorry to sound a bit dense but I am just a little confused.

If you are using DCEMon and IL2DCE, you don't have to move the mission files... DCEMon should monitor your campaign directory. When IL2DCE generates a new campaign mission DCEMon will automatically modify it. Since you will be in-game at the time you wo'nt know unless you tab out (once) to see if you get the output.

To check you can open a mission in notepad if the skill lines are 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 then it has not been modified.

If you are not using IL2DCE then you do need to copy mission files to the AITweak directory, run AIProcess and then copy them back.

If you have any more problems (or suggestions), just let me know
