[REL] Reduced Mission Tonnage

[Kromus]

I don`t understand this: You rewrote *.tsr files for information what to do but don`t rewrote *.cfg campaign files. I don`t think it will affect campaing unless you also fully edit *.cfg files there.

For example: Total Germany, original mission to sink 100K tons on South Western Approaches changed to 50K. I don`t think game will take that in account and you will still need 100K unless you cange that in *.cfg file like this:

Your description:

Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1.Description=Sink 50,000 tons of cargo in South Western Approaches

My changes:

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1]
PersObjType=0
Name=Sink_100,000=>50,000_tons_of_cargo_in_South_Western_Approaches
Description=Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1.Description
RelatedMapLocations=Area_Southwestern
IsCompleted=false

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 3.PersObj 1.Amount]
IsTonnage=true
Tonnage=100000=>50000
NumOfShips=0

Just example, did not try it yet but I think these are critical values to change not just text information in *.tsr. I want to start new campaign but don`t want get anything borked.

I changed both .cfg and .tsr files.

No you did not. I just redownloaded your mod to be sure.

Examples from campaign.cfg (Total Germany folder)

You maybe uploaded older files that still needed to be changed could you please look at it again?

I like this mod, just want to be sure everything is allright.

I tried this mod but noticed that the completion indicator for tonnage sunk still shows the old 100K value. In other words the campaign notes say i only have to sink 50K tons but the little marker showing how close you are to target is still behaving as if i have to sink 100K tons.

Hope I explained that ok :-)

I'm not complaining as i can do without the graphic representation just wondering if it also means the campaign wont actually acknowledge the new reduced targets having been met.

[Kromus]

Yes, *.cfg files need to be reworked all over again since *.tsr files only inform you what to do. They say 50K but in *.cfg is still 100K as requirement.
Same goes with other *.cfg files in different folders just to be sure.

[L3TUC3]

I see you're right. I think I mistakenly included the wrong unedited .cfg for total germany in the .rar. Sorry about that, expect an update soon.

I'll fix some other problems too while I'm at it.

The other campaigns should be ok though. Thanks for checking! I'm very interested in the later campaigns.

[Kromus]

No problem Happy to help, btw could you please look also at other files? Not because of problems but becaude of missions like:

"Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 1.PersObj 1.Description=Sink 50 merchant ships from the PQ/QP convoys" in "Arctic_convoys" folder seems to be awfully many to sink... (10-15 could be enough I think)

Same goes with other requirements like sinking 2 aircraft carriers or capital ships ( I think those are battleships ) only 1 could be enough.

Also halving all requirements in all missions could be nice too
