Okay it is time to admit I am a Mission Editor dumb-arse.

Which of the 6 or 8 .exe files in the Java folder do I use to open and run the mission editor .jar file?

When I straight up double click on it W10 keeps asking what I want to use to open it and I keep guessing wrong.

You should not bother with exe files. That sounds very strange. If you have correctly installed Java run time libraries, Windows OS should know how to execute *.jar files. It seems your W10 disallow Java on your computer or Java was not properly installed. Did you perform online test of proper Java installation (not via Chrome browser!)? Did you install correct version of Java (32 or 64 bit)? Does any other Java applications run well? Try to download other Java application and run it (eg. PWCG - Pat Wilson Campaign Generator for ROF/IL-2 BOS).

Yes ran "check if it works thing" after install and it said it was fine and installed.
Guess I'll keep playing with it. Sure it's some setting on my end.

sigh I am very sorry you have problems with Java and I am not able to help you. I do not know how to solve that problem. However I am sure your Windows OS did not attached proper shell to execute Java files (*.jar). Maybe Windows UAC, antivir or other "safety" settings? I assume you did not extracted Mission editor to Program Files folder? Because this folder is under Windows "cover".

Hmmm...I was trying to run it from a folder on my Desktop. Maybe I'll try moving it to the x86 folder or something. I am an Admin but on some programs I have to remind Windows of that. Yea...some dumb setting on my end.
But you are exactly correct. Everything seems good and installed but W10 doesn't know what to use to run it - and I am no help! Hehe..

I have installed it to OBD Software folder and it works OK. But yes, it seems to be Windows problem.

It would appear I am not the only one having issues with .jar files and W10...

Oh, W10 seems to be very "user friendly" and "all in one" system. I am very sorry for your trouble and hope you will manage to fix it in accordance with advices on the above link. And again, I am really glad I did not switch to W10 prematurely.

I would recommend yout to uninstall Java and then download and install one of the JavaSE in accordance with your version of OS(I assume Windows x64).
Link: Java SE
That should help. If I remember well, one of Mission editor beta testers had the same issue and above method (Java SE installation) fixed it. Good luck and let me know result, pls.

Thank you sir.
We will give it a shot as, for obvious reasons, I am hot for your ME.
Also, in the many pages of the above link there is a program - that many has luck with - that tells W10 what to do with .jar files.

Well, well.
Considering all the g-d hours I spent trying to get ME to work yesterday the solution was amazingly simple.
For "future generations of WOFF'ers" in the same Java/W10 boat download:
http://projects.killerapplets.com/JAR_Runner/

Small program, took about 10 seconds to figure out and about 3 seconds to use.
And it works. ME is firing up!

Just playing around looking at it and reading the .pdf file.
Awesome piece of work!

One question since the .pdf predates UE...I presume I can start the ME before I start WOFF? Then when I get the pop-up in the WOFF campaign screen I can go right to ME?
And the readme says to "close" ME after I make any changes to a campaign mission. If I plan on a multi-flight session can I leave ME open for the next flight? Or is closing necessary to save the modded campaign flight? Forget to look if there was a "save now" feature in ME when it is open.

Guess I have two questions: The .pdf also states that I can alter the skill and morale of flight members. I don't necessarily see myself using this but it's a nice option for campaign quirks and to better understand ME. Are these changes permanent or just for that flight?

Thank you.

Yes, you can start it anytime, ie. either prior to launch of WOFF UE or when the ME window in the WOFF pops up.

Code:

Yes, save your changes and close Mission Editor. It must be restarted for the next mission to enable Open Mission file menu.

Only for this edited mission. For the next mission it returns to WOFF campaign settings.

JJJ65, I have the latest update of your Mission Editor installed and it is brilliant! With the new workshop setting in WOFF UE that allows for 3rd party editors it is now ridiculously easy to use yours. I have it pinned to the task bar so it is a simple one click to launch once I hit ALT-TAB to step out of WOFF and make the changes. This mod is an absolute "must have" in my opinion. Well done Sir!

Lou, please enlighten me on one issue. I have already downloaded the editor but I have not been able to find any info regarding where to install all the files. Can it exist outside of the WOFF directory or does it have to be placed inside in a specific folder.

Robert, I have it in the OBDSoftware folder itself, though I don't think it matters where it resides:



I then have a shortcut to the "WOFF UE_Mission_Editor.jar" file, (which is located in the mission editor folder highlighted in the screenie above), pinned to the task bar.

Thanks Lou;

There is a warning in the tutorial rendered by HarryH, that once you open the editor you should not close it without importing a mission file or it will cause an error to WOFF. Not sure if this is still the case because his comments were related to WOFF3 and not WOFF UE. Hopefully someone will update the tutorial for WOFF_UE
