Some mods allow you to pass parameters to players by putting entries in the mission (.mis) file. Examples include my WindConfig, Carrier_Takeoff, and BombBayDoors mods. You create a [Mods] or [Weather] section in the mission file and add in whatever parameters the mod requires. The frustating thing has always been that, after adding these parameters, if you go into the Full Mission Builder and make any change to the mission, all these parameters get deleted from the mission file and you have to re-enter them.

This mod will prevent the FMB from deleting the [Mods] and [Weather] sections from the mission file when you edit the mission in the FMB.

You still have to manually add the parameters (wind, limited external views, etc) to the mission file to begin with, but you won't lose them when you later go into the FMB and make changes to the mission.

Download it here: SaveMissionParams_1_0.rar

README file is here: README

To install:

- STEP #1: Inside the rar file is a folder named 'SaveMissionParams_1_0'. Copy or extract this folder to the MODS folder in your IL-2 game folder.

- STEP #2: In your main game folder there is a file named 'bldconf.ini. MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF THIS FILE, then open bldconf.ini with a text editor (Notepad) and add this line to the end of the [builder_plugins] section:

(builder.PlMisMods)

Here is a sample bldconf.ini file, with the added line:

[code]
[builder_plugins]
(builder.PlMapLoad)
(builder.PlMission)
(builder.PlMisAir,sectFile=com/maddox/il2/objects/air.ini)
(builder.PlMisChief,sectFile=com/maddox/il2/objects/chief.ini)
(builder.PlMisStatic,sectFile=com/maddox/il2/objects/stationary.ini)
(builder.PlMisRocket,sectFile=com/maddox/il2/objects/rockets.ini)
(builder.PlMisHouse,sectFile=com/maddox/il2/objects/static.ini)
(builder.PlMisTarget)
(builder.PlMisBrief)
(builder.PlMisBorn)
(builder.PlMisStaticCamera)
(builder.PlMisDestruction)
(builder.PlMisFront)
(builder.PlMisMods)

heh.... i have just started working on this theme 8)
thanks!
it is great!

[ZloyPetrushkO]

i look at you mod
great idea of this mod!
but i think that it will be cool, if added randomize parametres of [Weather]
can i do it by myself and then post here as a modification of your mod?

[Poltava]

Random weather is actually a quite interesting concept. Go!

Feel free to use the ideas of this mod, but if you make a weather randomizing mod that might be better as a separate mod.

The purpose of this is just to preserve whatever parameters someone puts in the [Mods] or [Weather] sections of the .mis file. It really doesn't care how they get there or what they do. For example, the BombBayDoors mod uses the [Mods] section to pass which limited external views are available in the mission. And the Carrier Takeoff mod uses the [Mods] section to pass parameters like to turn off the catapult in the mission. And it doesn't just work for my mods, it would work for any mod that uses the [Mods] or [Weather] sections.

But as long as what you do doesn't cause a conflict with what the mod is designed to do, that's fine.

Aviar,

I just tried it, and it seems to download fine.

What kind of error are you getting?

[Aviar]

It just says Internet Explorer can't open this site. Never had any problems before.

I can open the Filefront home page . But this mod download link gives me an error.
