Shayd Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 ~S~ all, I have downloaded a utility program I created and call "Mission Tweeker" to the site. It allows quick changes to A/C type, #, Skill, and Fuel loads for Coop missions. More information is available in the download description, and in the included documentation. Let me know what you think. Shayd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted July 19, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi Shayd, Welcome to the pound. Well done on the utility, but you may have re-invented the wheel. There are already a few excellent just so utilities that have been around for a while, "MissionMate" being one which does just how you describe. Its a nice feeling anyway knowing what you are capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 ~S~ I have Mission Mate as well, but to be honest, without using it all the time I forget where all the adjustments are. This was a nice clean way to just adjust plane types originally when I was flying with mates in JO and they all had a different one they liked to fly. 5 seconds and the change is made and saved. Don't get me wrong, MM is a great tool with ALOT more then this offers. This is a specifically targeted tool, and of course if you don't want to use it you sure don't have too!

BadAim Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I'll give it a try, sounds like a nice "quick 'n dirty" tweaker tool. Some of the others give me a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Give me some feedback BA as I'm interested in what you think.

Shayd Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Ok, in working on some stuff for Beebop I found a bug...imagine that ...in that if you selected a mission that as non-flyable aircraft and then selected that group it crashed the program. I have fixed it and have also added in the ability to edit the Briefing. I have added MRUs under Files as well. Will upload it shortly.

Shayd Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Is there a way to update an existing entry, or do I need to just add a new file. Anyone know? Shayd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 If you lazy F-ers would learn how to use the FMB, you wouldn't have to be "tweaking" anything.......cept maybe some chix posterior. I'll go back under my rock now before I get lynched. Silently slithers away......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Perhaps the FMB Snob's need to learn that you don't have to dig thru layer after layer of waypoints to find the group that you want to increase or decease the number of planes in the flight. lol...to each their own I suppose, I going back to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm not sure aboot the upload thing, but I like the Idea of being able to change the mission briefing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted August 13, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I have now copied it into the "utils" section of the vault. It should be ok for people to get from there now. Cheers Friar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_O_A_D Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Shayd This is what I'm getting with XPpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have updated the file to handle missing .properties files in a more consistant manner. I have tweeked the permission settings a bit and will have to see if the XP install functions ok now. I have added the Text of the different cloud types instead of just an index number. Updated the install so that under the start menu it goes under "Mission Tweeker" Instead of "Microsoft" If you have installed Mission Tweeker before, be sure to remove the old install using the control panel. last updated 8-19-08 @ 7:50pm pdt http://www.theflighthangar.com//Portals ... 0small.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Added in some safety logic so that if you try and change something, or save before you have actually opened a mission file it won't blow up. Last path opened should be saved for XP users now. If you have installed Mission Tweeker before, be sure to remove the old install using the control panel. last updated 8-20-08 @ 3:40pm pdt http://www.theflighthangar.com//Portals ... 0small.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Ok it now opens last opened folder, and it saves to the same folder, but it does not save a properties, even if you fill in the boxes. Do you need to ad a save button, for the breif box? I've clicked the floppy icon for save but it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Toad, I'm check it and see what is happening to the properties file. I'll assume that the file is there, or that the file is missing and needs to be created. Shayd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have tested it both with a .properties and with a missing .properties and it works creates or updates the file just fine. I need more details of what your doing, and if any messages are showing. Try to catch me on TS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ok, turns out Toads problem was he loaded the oringal mission instead of the "Tweeked" mission, hence not seeing his change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayd Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think its finally up to par for a initial version 1.0 release and the link is below: http://www.theflighthangar.com//Portals ... 0small.zip Here is a bit from the readme.txt file: Features: You can edit the mission brief's Name, Short description, and long Description. You can also add in the Army tags if you want, if they do not exist in the long description section. Just place the cursor in the text box where you want the tags to be placed. ** TIP ********************************** Add [MT] or "- MT" to the briefs mission name, that way when you select it ingame you can tell which mission it was you modified, otherwise the game just shows you two missions with the same name. ***************************************** Summer / Winter Map toggle. If the mission has a map that has a know winter/summer version, a button will display allowing you to shift the map. You can adjust the mission time. You can adjust the cloud type, and height. You can select a Wing that you want to modify (eg. usa0100) Change the values to what you want (Planes, Class, Fuel, Skill), selecting each wing as needed. Click Save under File, or the disk in the toolbar. This will save the file defaulting to the original mission name PLUS _MT added. You can change this if you wish, but be careful not to overwrite your original file unless you really mean too! Now, just load up the mission and your set to go!
