homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Wings: Over Flanders Fields Wings: Over Flanders Fields - Mods Mission Editor

Inspired by OldHat's requirements I have added new little feature - If you want to edit enemy flights (aircraft numbers, altitudes, morale/skill of pilots) while not reveal their routes/waypoints, you can make a choice now. If you click "Show enemy formations" checkbox, then you will be asked for option.

You can download new executable (v1.0.1) here: WOFF UE_Mission editor jar

Installation: Just place new executable file to your Mission editor folder and when asked if rewrite old file just confirm Yes.

Very nice!

I have made an icon file for the WOFF Mission Editor and have put it on my dropbox for anyone who wishes to apply it to the WOFF Mission Editor executable.

Super! Thank you, Sir.

Nice work gentlemen.

Couple of ME notes from the DIH cockpit posted as a PSA after experimenting a bit yesterday.
My system: Standard W10 with all privacy issues disabled thru Windows or a 3rd party program.

1) "Shortcut to .jar file doesn't work"
Despite my original assertion that a standard windows shortcut would work for ME it turns out to be not correct.
While it would appear to open the program once you click on the ME shortcut nothing would happen when clicking on the campaign mission file in the WOFF directory.
For W10 you can either use Lou's method (which oddly didn't work for me) or Google how to make a shortcut to a .jar file.
This method involved taking the standard non-working windows shortcut and moving it to somewhere in your windows directory so that it ends up in the start menu. Now it works fine. From there you can leave it or copy the now functional shortcut to wherever you want.
Which works out well because......

2) "Alt-tab doesn't work"
And another bit of quirkiness, despite the fact that alt-tab works for every other program that I have, it does not work while at the ME prompt within the Campaign screens. I have to use the Windows key to get anywhere and that takes me to the start menu where my, now working, ME shortcut is waiting.

EDIT: Grammar corrections. Smart phone!

Before you start WOFF UE, run any simple small program, for example Notepad, and minimize it to Taskbar. Then the Alt-Tab from WOFF UE should work.

Ah. Thank you sir.
Always learning something new everyday.

EDIT: Another spelling error. I'm really not (too) stupid and will try not to use my phone w/o cheaters on.

A word of warning to any one that do's not fully understand how this ME works DO NOT use my install is not keeps asking me for a mission in campaigns.

How can I get the default WOFF UE back do I have to reinstall it all.

I have deleted all the ME.

Sorry, I do not understand. What happened and what was your question?

I have read the Harry H Tutorial and it did not relate to the ME I downloaded your latest version.

When I am in the campaign I get the message "RUN YOUR MISSION EDITOR NOW CLICK WHEN DONE TO PROCEED" so how can I run the mission editor when im running WOFF UE I would have to exit WOFF UE and I have nothing to run. I have a short cut on my desktop to the JAR file I downloaded but double clicking that do's nothing.

Running Windows 7 64bit and I belive I have Java installed.

So now how do I get rid of the pop up RUN YOUR MISSION EDITOR NOW CLICK WHEN DONE TO PROCEED.

Sorry to be a pain it looks like I am a little slow on this one I can builed a computer but not get your ME to work.

Thanks for your reply.

Suggest that when you are in WOFF do "CTRL+ALT+DEL" KEYS All together. This will allow you to get to the desktop but if you placed your ,jar file on the start bar you will now have access to it.


Hope this helps

It sounds like he is saying ME pop-up in the campaign screens.
Uncheck the "3rd Party Mission Editor" (or whatever the wording is) box in the Workshop and it shouldn't pop up any more for the Part 2 of your question.
Part 1 read back several pages on how to "click" ME to get it to work.
This is all predicated on the thought I understand what you are asking.

I suppose Robert Wiggins and DukeIronHand explained what to do, however, if you have still problem, send me a PM, pls, and I will try to find the best solution for you.

Thanks guys have it sorted now I had the mission editor ticked in the workshop, I have not used the ME yet will for the time give it a miss I am sure it is a very nice addition and thanks JJJ65 for your input.

Interestingly I was experimenting around and had the ME check box unchecked (Off) in the Workshop and I still get OBD's pop-up saying, essentially, go to ME and click here when done. Perhaps I get some of olddog's confusion.

Should I still be getting this OBD pop-up with "3rd Party Mission Editor" turned off?

Maybe restart WOFF.

Ah. Okay. Will give that a shot.

FWIW that does not help.
The pop-up still occurs.
Hardly a big deal but I wanted to make sure nothing was broken or amiss.

Duke, this may not be related but it may be worth a try. If you have 3rd party missions checked, uncheck it as well as the ME and then restart WOFF UE. Let us know if that helps.
