[DFX2] Help please!!!

[OlderStreetrat]

Can someone please tell me how to change the Win/Lose Conditions? I have looked everywhere I can think of and to me, it's nowhere to be found. I'm sure it's something simple to do, but I'm a hillbilly LOL'

Thanks for any help!!

You can do it in the editor from the top left hand side the screen.

Click On -> Edit -> General Information.

You'll find it all there

Note:
For advanced users...

You can customise win/lose conditions and other game conditions by creating a bin file for the mission.

If you are interested in learning how feel free to post your questions here and for the convenience of other readers a new thread for each subject is good practice.

Here's an example of a bin file script and a tool to convert the text to bin format.

Bin to Text Converter

You can get a program to do it all but I find this just as easy.

Thanks so much Stompem. The only problem is, the txt2bin and the bin2txt crashes on my Windows 10 system, even after I run the compatibility troubleshooter and apply the changes. I do have the BINeditor program and have put in some win directives but haven't tested them just yet. My question is this, in the BINeditor, there is no option in the dropdown to choose "Briefing". There is a Mission Dialog option but that's not the same thing. Any suggestions?

Oh, and in the Editor there are win/lose conditions already set and it won't let me change them, which to me would be the simplest way to do it. Seems to me that in BHD you could manually change and or delete them as you needed to.

??? That's exactly what the BIN file does, changes all of the default choices to your own custom win/lose conditions.

In certain circumstances Windows can change existing file attributes to read only when files are copied over.

Check for that.

From memory you look under category INFO

NOTE: The BIN Editor wasn't designed for DFX2 so there are some issues there I guess - - - -

The BIN layout above is designed for DFX2

This is the bit you need for the briefing -

'[info]'
Title = "YOUR TITLE HERE";
briefing = "

1. Your text here.
2. Your text here.
3. Your text here.
4. Your text here... etc.
";

the txt2bin and the bin2txt crashes on my Windows 10 system, even after I run the compatibility troubleshooter and apply the changes

I don't have W10 but try checking the file properties for a BLOCKED download flag - (This file came from another computer etc...) and see if you can UNBLOCK it.

Tell you what, if all fails alter the script above to your liking and PM it to me and I'll compile it and upload it to my server where you can retrieve it - or - if you don't mind, we can post and upload it all right here.

[OlderStreetrat]

Thank you so much!

I have altered my plans for my MOD a little bit. Instead of going off of the AW2 MOD, I am going to try to make my own. I won't need to create any buildings and such but I did just post another question about adding terrains, objects and people that have already been configured to work with JO:TR.

The information about the briefing will help tremendously and I thank you very much for your time and offer.

I have one pc that is running win 10 (my other 3 pc's run win 7) and none of the DFX2 bin files work correctly on that computer. (also about half of my other programs (ie: game/util don't run correctly) So to solve the problem I removed windows 10 and reinstalled windows 7 ultimate sp1 now ALL my programs run correctly. (I work on computers for a living)

[OlderStreetrat]

So far I haven't had any problems running any of the DF games except BHD. The problem I have is with a couple of MOD tools that just won't load, but I found other tools that do the same thing and they work on W10. If I had another PC I would also run Win7 on it, or XP.

put /d in your bhd editor shortcut to unlock it.
example

NovaLogic\Delta Force Black Hawk Down\dfbhdmedv205c.exe" /d

also when hosting this may help

NovaLogic\Delta Force Black Hawk Down\dfbhd.exe" /w /many

Hey Majwiz, unfortunately it only takes a space or character in the wrong place to upset the bin formats which are different between the BHD and DFX engines - you may need to check them over - also "Baldo" and I tend to agree that if you have more than a 100 missions or so in the main game folder random errors may occur...

Also look out for bms and mis with no mission name IE: ( .bms .mis).
They can also cause problems.
