Hey can somone please take a few minutes with me on TS and go through the motions with FBDII so I can run a server from time to time. I just can't seem to get it to work, so I'm thinking I put down the wrong path in the cfg file or I'm writing the script wrong

example Red=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\ nBlue=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\ ncom=chat Blah Blah Blah ALL\ ncom=mp_dotrange Dot 15 Color 3 Type 3 ID 2 Name 1 Range 3\ n

in the FBDII forum it says all paramiters must end with \ n i'm confused can someone please help me.
thanks

It´s true. When you type in the FBD command lines in PF´s Full Mission Builder then you must add a \n after every command line so FBD knows when to break to the next line. In your example that would be:

Red=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\n
Blue=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\n
com=chat Blah Blah Blah ALL\n
com=mp_dotrange Dot 15 Color 3 Type 3 ID 2 Name 1 Range 3\n

I think you left a free space between the backslash and the letter n.

BTW, check you emails, mate!

Okay here's another example

Year: 1942
Time: early morning
conditions: clear. clouds 1000 m

<ARMY FBD>\n
</ARMY >
<ARMY RED>
Red briefing
</ARMY>
<ARMY BLUE>
Blue briefing
Red=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\n
Blue=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\n
com=chat Blah Blah Blah ALL\n
com=mp_dotrange...\n
</ARMY FBD>\n

how is that better?

Thanks Gen.

Oh btw in the fbdaemon2.cfg file where it asks you for the full path to the FB server what do I put down? sorry I didn't get this all down in one post.

Move/add following lines into it, m8 ...

...
<ARMY RED>\n
Red briefing\n
</ARMY>\n
<ARMY BLUE>\n
Blue briefing\n
</ARMY>\n
<ARMY FBD>\n
Red=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\n
Blue=55:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0=01.mis\n
com=chat Blah Blah Blah ALL\n
com=mp_dotrange...\n
</ARMY FBD>\n

That should do it ...

For the paths look at my settings in the fbdaemon2.cfg file, pls ...

## Paths and IPs ##
# Full path to FBDaemon2 (must include trailing '/')

daemon path=F:/UbiSoft/IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles/FBD2/

# Full path to FB Server (must include trailing '/')

path=F:/UbiSoft/IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles/il2fb.exe

I suppose you´ve installed IL-2/FB/PF onto your C: drive so your relative path for the FB server could be C:/Programs/UbiSoft/IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles/il2fb.exe, couldn´t it? It´s also important to refer FBD the path to its own executable file ...

There you go, CF!

I believe you will find useful information in our Mission Building and Hosting thread too Crimson - http://endlager.net/fis/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1818" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .

From memory....

Twas a long time ago...

... but I think FBDII required direct runtime connection to a database (e.g. mySQL) rather than creating uploadable text files like v 1.5 did.

Something both Snoop and I looked at before, but as we both use hosted solution plans, we are not able to connect remotely to mySQL.

Yep, that's why I'm still using FBDaemon I. But if you are not running stats then FBDaemon II will work fine.

As promised (but late I know

) I have uploaded all my scripted dogfight missions here Crimson (and Snoop) - http://ca.geocities.com/ohearnsmcmm@rog ... ssions.zip" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Downloaded will go through them to find the best for the dedicated server!

Thanks Tact, I need some more missions

Rgr! Hopefully sometime we'll jump on TS and quickly go over them. Those Kursk ones are meant as a mini DF campaign, so don't bother using them for the dedicated server. There's a bunch of newer ones, including some Pacific theatre stuff.

Perhaps Wednesday quickly just before Historic Encounters?
