You can select an option in the Workshop that reduces the number of historical Aces, allowing you to kill more of the enemy pilots that you actually meet.

JJJ, is there any possibility that the ME window could be made resizeable? I use WOFF UE on a triple monitor system and the time taken to draw the map across a 5780x1080 screen is a little irritating. No biggie if it's a problem.

OK, I will look into it.

AndyR, can you test this version with decreased screen size to 1200x800px?

Wow - that was quick; thanks. Yeah, it's OK but the screen size could do with being a little bigger. Truly re-sizeable would be best, but it's not essential.

Other points:

1. I didn't get the 'populate airfields' dialogue. If I run 1.6.5 straight after, that works fine.
2. Various buttons and dialogue windows appear outside the map window and appear fixed. On a triple monitor, that means they can be up to half a metre from the main window.

Other than that, it's a real help.

Thanks again.

Andy

Edit: Perhaps an option for the user to set their own horizontal/vertical pixel size?

AndyR, try another version, pls. Populate airfields and Weather manager dialogues re-enabled (sorry, that was disabled by my mistake), window size changed to 1920x1080. Unfortunately, re-sizable option is not possible for Processing applets.

That works very well for me, JJJ. I possibly need to play with it some more to use all the options, but I tried the basic edits and weather setup and all worked as it should. The size is just great.

Cheers,

Andy

What's this dodgy site you're uploading to? Would you consider sharing a dropbox seeing as we have a very niche sort of thing going on? We'd also get notifications via desktop of and changes that had been made tot eh ME.

Hell!

Before I proceed I just want to say what a fanstatic game this is and all the mods makes it even more incredible! I had an account registered back in 2009 but it seems to be lost to time. So let's make a restart.

I think I might be in need of some assistance from the experts regarding the ME. It should be the latest version from the mod site linked in this forum. Usually you can read your way through trouble but I think I have hit a dead end here. ME boots up and loads campaign missions fine from the historical folder.while tabbed out from WOFF UE. The way I usually learn things is to start make small adjustments, watch the result and increase them gradually. The problem here seems to be that none of my changes actually apply in the mission when tabbing back to WOFF. Am I missing out on something vital here? Im saving every dialog box possible when editing. Also I watched a tutorial video for this mod on Youtube but it did'nt make me any smarter.

To start with I wanted to try changing airplane for my pilot flying in RFC 11, 1916 from Bristol Scout to Nieuport 16, not working. Then I figured the sqadron only has four allocated Nieuports so I tired giving one of the HA's a Bristol instead if that was the problem but to no result for me or the HA.

I have tried to copy A-flights path to B-flights path but that dialog box will not disapear after clicking "ok" and I don't see the changes in the mission.

Clicking the checkbox for Lone Wolf mission did'nt work either on a patrol behind friendly lines. The flight showed up anyway.


Any clues on what this might be?

Hello Mr Frosty,
you must save your changes by clicking on green "SAVE" button:
BTW, the latest version is 1.6.5, download link is available above in this thread or here

Thank you! I Will give that link a shot as soon as the wife and kids are asleep and report back. Though I'd like to add that I've tried that save button as well as "save as" with non positive results after making the edits.

Allright, reporting back JJJ65 and I am puzzled. That was indeed a newer version from what I had (1.5.6). I'm just running it from a folder on the desktop and that should not affect anything? I flew three sorties in my RFC campaign to test out some simplier things.

For the first mission I went into the edit pilots tab and cycled through the boys in the flight to the last one and added one more pilot after and I'm sure he was not present in neither B or A flight already. He did not show up in the game.

Before the second mission I just changed the formation for our flight and that did not work and for the third sortie I checked the lone wolf mission checkbox without results. (I did click "save" after editing before each mission).

Is it possible to TAB out of the game before clicking "go to field" and do the editig and go back to start the mission? It is if like the changes are made to late for the game to recognize them. That is just speculation, any tips would be appreciated.

Mr Frosty, can you tell me when do you run Mission Editor? I strongly recommend you to watch OldHat's video here , especially at time 2:05 he describes how to enable Mission Editor at WOFF UE Workshop and at 3:30 shows point when to start Mission Editor and make your editing.

Thanks, I will give the video a closer look once again when I get home. But to answer your question, I tab out of the game to run the editor when the game stops and tells me to after clicking "go to field".

The last resort - can you send me the MissionEditor.log file located in Mission Editor folder, together with mission file you tried to edit unsuccesfully? Thx.
To be honest, I have never heared about this sort of problem :-(.

You are the most welcome to have a look, though it says I'm not allowed to attach such a file here when trying.

Check your PM, pls.

WOFF UE Mission Editor 1.7 released. Download available here
New features: full backup of player's pilots and WOFF UE settings/configuration. Every time you run Mission Editor and save any mission, full backup of pilots and settings is created automatically in background, so you will not forget to make backup anymore.
In case of s**t happens, you can restore all settings and pilot's valuable lives as simply as "123" - just start Mission Editor, click "Restore from backup" button and confirm "OK". That is all.
Enjoy!

GOOD SHOW!! Now we have two good backup options.
My backup program allows selective backup and restore. Do you also offer that or is it just full backup and restore?

Best Regards

To keep it user friendly I have choosen a "one click" option for full backup/restore. IMHO, it is fast solution without any side effects.
