A script selected:

If I am at GameRanger I can click to put the theatre and plane-set in memory for posting there when I host a game, and click "Load"
If I am not then I can click the check-box and then click "Load". The script will be loaded and a "host-only" game can be launched on my PC via Multiplayer smile
Quite often I log on and host a game at GameRanger for my own convenience. Launching the game there goes straight to the parameters page.
The "TempMissions" folder is another story. Watch this space smile

There is a new quick mission maker

Opening screen:

A theatre had been selected. Because the required files are there the load button is visible:

Clicking the load button brings up the mission settings page:

Mission settings made:

Select target and bases from the map was clicked:

If you are setting up a mixed interdiction clicking "ShowRRD" dispays the railway network:

If your mouse is near a target or a base (red dot) the name appears.

Clicking on it selects it, then you click on the appropriate item in the pink panel.
My target and bases are selected, and I could click "Launch"
[Linked Image]

If targets and bases are close together on the map you can right click and drag (top left to bottom right) and a rectangle which will be displayed instead of the full map.

I launched the game with a multiplayer only exe loaded, and when the parameters screen came up I set the AI planes, and adjusted the altitudes:

Note that the settings in the script have been used, and that is the whole point wink

Allied planes as selected, ready to roll smile

In the previous post I wrote "Watch this space".

Here is a link if you want to download the new script reader and mission maker.

Quick mission maker and the new script loader


Run the downloaded "QuickMission.exe" in your UAW160 folder. It is a 7-Zip self-installer and it will give you the "2021ScriptLoader.exe" and the "QuickMissionMaker.exe" programs.
