Hi mates, I have downloaded many MODS and all the maps available, the result is that I am not able to save missions to some maps (e.g. Italy-Greece, EastAfrica, Lvov etc.), but some missions still save (e.g. Slovakia) - is there a solution? I save a file, but it won't open again... Please help, I don't want to reinstall the whole game again as there are many gigabytes....
Hi Cracken,
I suggest you check if you installed all required objects. Sometimes new maps require new objects, such as the Hangar Mod of R-One, or Fisneaky's flags, CanonUK's objects, Fabianfred's objects.
You may have to install them together, which require building yourself a static.ini file with bits and pieces from the various objects' mods, to be added to the original static.ini.
I am not sure if the above points to the right direction, I just hope it will help you.
Cheers,
Vince
Hm if you think of Lvov it must be vpmedia's default maps retexturing, I'm sure there's no new actors there (so no modded objects either) so it's very weird..
Cracken save il2root/mods/mapmods/maps/lviv/load.ini as il2root/mods/mapmods/maps/lviv/loadvpmedia.ini
Then open il2root/mods/mapmods/maps/lviv/load.ini with notepad replace all the text there with the text I put below. Save, start the game and see if you can save any mission on Lvov. This is just a test which restores the original Lvov. If it works you can try replace step by step different sections form load.ini with the corresponding sections from vpload.ini and see how is it working.. and when it ceases to work..

Trust me, you have a mod that is interfering with your map save, and that mod is one that includes changes to your static.ini...you do not need to reinstall...just place a - in front of each mod folder until you find the "culprit"....then go back to the installation instructions for that mod and make sure you installed it correctly.
Can I download "clear" static.ini anywhere?
I think some MODS may not be compatible with other ones... Maybe I had had my game too moded. The trouble was with some new maps (Italy-Greece, East Africa) but some old maps too (Lvov, Murmansk), but there were some maps that worked well (fabianfred's Thailand].... So I think the trouble was not actually linked to having or not having some objects in the game - but some maps in particular. I will install the game to a different disc, then I will patch it to 4.08 + skins, than 4.9b1 + skins, after that I will install unified mod installer + all flags, Hangar mod, Infantry Mod + east africa. And then I see...
