I have made two new folders on the server.

The first is "128-129-140SourceCode(11May2016)" and it contains a 7-zip installer "2016-May11-SC.exe" with my up to date code (parachutes etc) of folders that I completed today.

They are
1.28c
The 640x480 versions of 1.28e, 1.28f and 1.29 (old map)
140 V96 (both old and new map)

I can see little point in adding the parachute code to the 1024x768 "normal", versions of the 1.28e, 1.28f or 1.29 exes.

The second is really for Moggy, but everyone is welcome to it. Its name is "128-9(640x480)Installs"
Because there are some differences between the files in certain CDFs I have made three different full installations in 7-zip files.

"EAW128C[May11].exe" gives a complete working version of 1.28c with Moggy's theatre included.
This theatre is a folder named "Moggy's Euro 129 640".
To save time and space it was removed from the other two folders, and needs to be copied and pasted back into them

The second is "EAW128E-F (640)May11.exe" which has both the 1.28e and 1.28f exes available in 640x480 form.

The third is "EAW129 (640)May11.exe" which uses the 640x480 version of the 1.29 exe

Now to take a break from programming, unless something critical emerges wink

Not critical, but because of the odd compiler warning I checked this out:

Early code had this routine:


It has one parameter (i)



This later version has two parameters with the addition of the "caliber".

It had crept into 1.29 but I do not know where from. I suspect it is Ralf's code smile

Earlier today when making the batch of 640x480 exes if I had a mixture of files I was getting a compiler warning (not an error) about having too many parameters.

I just compiled a 140 exe with this version of the routine, and a couple of other files. I received no warnings, and it works fine.

Does anyone recall when this change came in, and what differences it was intended to make?

Tony.

That bullet code was put in by Ralf, simply to create the correct damage values.

Not all bullets have the same damage characteristic. A .303 and a 50 cal are not the same, and that value set the correct power for bullets. If I remember correctly!

You know what a stickeler, Ralf is, and he loves his 20mm cannons! biggrin

Thanks John
I was certain that he did it. However, some time ago he produced a series of exes which were buggy, with frequent CTDs. It took me ages to find the last one that was not. I then rebuilt what we had tried to add using the last stable one as a base. It may be that he had added the "caliber" code to one of the later buggy ones, and I missed it. The upshot was that a whole series of exes were built with the old code.
The new code is now in smile

Great to hear wink

Now to fix that Ju52 engine sound (Me262) problem I put a "PlaneSounds24.mpf" in the "PLNSET0" folder
It reads:

[EngineSounds]
StartSound=214
RunSound=215

I have also to have a look at the Ju52 FM which causes it to fly rather low, especially during the drop.

The flight model for the Ju52 in the Malta plaenset is set up for a true tri-motor which goes along with the upgraded model.

I'm assuming you are still set up with the 30 planes.dat file. If that's the case you can use the .flt file but you'll have the edit the planes.dat file to account for the third engine. You have to add a value for that engine in the damage section.

Thanks Ray. Will do. I'll copy and paste the planes.dat section in.

Jel: apart from the new 128c exe and the weapons.dat, are there any other amended files required to make the non-exploding paratroopers work?

Not as far as I know of.
Are the parachutes released below the aircraft?
They are in the last 1.28c I made, but I am not sure if you have it smile

EDIT:

I just did a test and was not getting the correct sound for the Ju52 in 1.28c.
Checking I had no "sounds" folder in the 1.28c folder I was testing with.
Copying and pasting one from the 1.29 folder foxed the problem.

Moggy,

Do not do a hexedit copy from the Ju52 1.4 plane.dat file to the 1.28* planes.dat file. I'm pretty sure there are incompatibilities that will cause a CTD.

You will have to open the Ju 52 1.4 plane.dat file with Airgrid and THEN copy each cell from there to the 1.28* planes.dat.

FWIW, if the values are close you really needn't bother as this is a bomber. Just make sure the guns are correct and the damage values are good. Most of the flight characteristics you're going to be fiddling with will be in the .flt file.

If you need a hand just give a shout.

Moggy

Just in case my 1.28c folder from yesterday is 7-zipped and in your folder.
It has the "sounds" folder in it and the 262 sound fix for the Ju52 wink
