IL-2 loading issues

Sledgehammer427 · 06-19-10, 12:55 PM

(I know some mods aren't allowed to be talked about...
>_>
<_<
but I can't remember them...so if I mention one of these blacklisted mods I do apologize...I didn't mean it!

)

but let me run you through what has been going on.
I finally got around to playing IL-2 again, and I got CanonUK's final Channel map
to play the Fighterboys 1940 campaign
and it wouldn't save my progress, I would exit out and it would just reset. you know, the missing map peices bug where if you are missing a house or a hangar it won't save?
so I went through and got all the mods Canon said you needed for his channel map
((it's LAL_HANGAR, LAL_Fortifications, and Brantoc_Objets_ToW))
I now have all the mods Canon said you needed for the map to be complete.

I added all of these to the static.ini as requested by the modders, and I added them BEHIND canon's addition to the static, like the mods were installed before the Channel map.
now, the last one I installed was the HANGAR addon. before then I was usually able to play, but the campaign wouldn't save, once I discovered I didn't have HANGAR, I downloaded it and added it in. now I have the loading bug where it reaches 90% and it says
"Mesh 3do/humans/Paratroopers/Russia/mono.sim not created."
I did a little looking and tried setting the texture compression to 2 under [RenderOpenGL] in config.ini and still I got it.
the only other option the campaign creator said to try was to get a video card with more RAM, I have a 512 card and I deffo don't have the cash to get a 1024.

has anyone else had this problem?

You got the backwards. It's allowed to talk about mods, not link them.

Hmm appears the Mesh for the russian paratroppers is missing... Never had this issue, and if I did, Il2 never told me.

well, it's a battle of britain campaign, what russian paratroopers would be doing there is beyond me.
OH WAIT
I tried a different set of the Hangar mod (it gives you hangar 1.0 and hangar 2.0, I installed both 1.0 and 2.0 then I tried just 2.0
with just 2.0 it says the German paratroopers are missing.

EDIT!
fixed it. I just slipped the modified files that gave me trouble at the end instead of in front of the channel additions. it's loaded but I have yet to see if it will save, but at least I'm flying again. it's a start

last edit
no beans on the saves. too bad.
