QMBPlus mission creators prefix list? - WWSandMan - 18.01.2009

Greetings,

Was wondering if there's enough interest to generate a "QMBPlus mission creator's prefix list" such as exists for map creators (Link (The link is inoperative)). The purpose would be for QMBPlus mission creators to uniquely identify their QMBPlus missions when offering them to the AAA public.

Having missions and conf.ini entries created with those unique prefixes would alleviate some issues being found with different mission creators using the same file names and conf.ini entries for the same maps, even though the missions themselves are quite different and occasionally conflict.

The standard for QMBPlus mission packs would go something like this:

Let's say I created a set of QMBPlus missions for the Lybia map. If I named all my missions "Lybia00.mis" and instructed users to add "Customxx=Lybia" to their conf.ini, my set would directly conflict with a set made and released by EasyRider. If a player installed my missions, he would lose all of EasyRider's... not good.

If I instead had my missions named "sm_Lybia00.mis" and instructed users to add "Customxx=sm_Lybia" to their conf.ini, there would be no conflict or over-writing of existing files.

The purpose of a prefix list is so that new mission creators would not select a prefix of their own that was already in use by someone else.

Thoughts?

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant--I have already been in this situation of losing missions because of the same name.

You have too much free time, man. Wink

Looking forward to trying some of these out (and cleaning up my own install to match).

This is gonna be great! I use the QMB+ a lot, as I'm sure others do as well. Having complete sets of missions for every map will be a real treat.
Thanks for your efforts ER.

EasyRider Wrote:I have assembled a list of full mission packs available,
the packs which are short some missions,
and the ones that are just single missions(which are the ones that give the most target errors)

List is as follows>
The lists are in Alphabetical order

Full Packs:

Ardennes_W
Bessarbia
BoB
Burma
fly_Z_BOB_A
fly_Z_Britain_Autumn
GW_Ardennes
LAL_Crim2
Lybia
Mbug_Slovakia_winter
Midway
Mto
Murmansk
NewGuinea
Norway
NWEurope
Philippines dvl_Philippines
Phillippines
Slovakia
Stalingrad
tab_ardennes
The_Slot_1_44
Vol_ItalyAfricaGreece
Vol_Sardegna
zip_Alpen
Zuti_Slovenia

Short Packs:
short just a couple missions each
could be fixed up into full packs

CAN_Channel =9 needs 3
Channel =10 needs 2
dlv_Sinai =11 needs 1
ItalyAfricaGreece= 7 needs 5
Kt_eastafrica =11 needs 1
Net5Summer =10 needs 2

14 missions missing,like making a map flyable which is 12,I will take this task on in the FMB
With these 14 missions built and added it would make 6 more full packs ,
adding those to the 24 Full packs would make 30 Full Packs.

Single Missions:
Not good for anything as (mostly singleNone00.mis)
they need more missions to be built than they actually have.
Might as well just build new sets for these

These cause more hassle than what there worth

Balaton
Berlin
BP_midway
CentMed
dlv_Sinai
ffb_Thailand
Gaudalcanal
Hawaii
JV69_LYBIA_N-E
Kuban
Kurland
Kursk
Lvov
Normandy2
NTL_Darwin
OnlineDesert
OnlineItaly
Palau
Prokhorovka
SandsOfTime
Singapore
Slot
Slovenia
Thailand
V1_Summer

from all the single lone None00.mis out there
There are 10 errors for each of the 24 Non00.mis single x 24 = 240 Errors + 14 errors from shortpacks =254 errors

This is if all FullPack missions actually work,I do not know yet if there are errors in the actual missions yet,only the errors from missing missions can I be certain of.

It's all Good Man...
24 Full Packs + 6 ShortPacks fixed up with 14 missions added = 30 Full Packs(Mission Set)
if not error free I will fix them up.

We get to keep everyones work who did complete mission sets,
a few that were close will be finished.

The Single mission could be uploaded for Mission builder to finish them?
but it really makes no sense ....

From these 30 Mission Packs there after...

Pick a mission idea and prefix your missions like the Authors did in the above full packs,
do not upload unfinished work as in missing missions.You want to upload work to the community
make sure it's Error Free

Ask for some help to get your work ...Error free
and finished as in 12 playable error free missions

Campaign builders usually have a few trusted individuals that they will get to Test fly there campaigns before releasing it for public consumption.I suggest we do the same for the QMB.
It's the responsible way to upload your work to share it with the community.

I would like to thank all the Authors of the Full Packs that are available,
Thank you for excellance in your work...

For the Short Pack Authors,Good Job,
may I add constructive critisism
just ask for some help to finish the last couple of missions,
I'm sure there is help available.I like a challenge in the FMB once in awhile 8)

PM worked fine last time I checked :wink:

It's all Good Man...better than I thought actually...30 full packs could be assembled,
Config Starts at 30 added customxx=names

now I am organized ....time to Start Test Flying these full packs 8)

Canopy open.....Hair Straight Back......

Easy

And whats wrong with: V1_Summer m8? Works all fine when I made and played it. same with the two BoB ones I made.
