File Merging Freeware?

[:FI:Murph]

Sneaky- did'nt you post a link a while back for some kind of file merging freeware program? I've realized that I have to do some file editing with all the mods- I did a search in my Il2 folder and got about ten hits for "static.ini"!

I think it´s called WinMerge, Tim ...

Thx Gen, thats the one

Thanks guys- I noticed a post at AAA in which Sneaky said that the air, chief, rockets, ships,static, stationary and technics ini files should all be together in the same place. Should I have only one of each of these in my Mods folder?

Absoulutely, wrapper only reads first found. This was the root of Pikes troubles and many others. Usually manifests in being unable to save a mission in FMB.

Since the new static aircraft mod (for new slot AC ,spit mk 1 etc.) all these are safest put in

Mods\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects

Was a minor hitch with Canons Channel beta due to a missing object - now solved



BoB anyone?

BTW - be careful with winmerge sometimes a block will overwrite where you don't want it to.

seems to happen with large files (like my 1200 object statics ) for the most part it will do the job correctly , but Make backups first and if necessary do a manual copy/paste where it gets out of sync ( also happens with APT edit which I'm using and doesn't seem to be a way around it.

So, once I've combined all of my various versions of these .ini files into one set, I should delete all other copies in my Mods folder (after making backup copies, of course)?
I've been having a lot of trouble trying to make default missions for QMB+ to use with the new maps- I keep getting "data file corrupt" error message when I try to use them in QMB. I suspect it may be because the game is not finding all of the correct stuff to use with the map.
