mj3437 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I am trying to change the start time for the "Hogs to Slaughter" mission for the Su-27, but Notepad++ opens the .miz file with cryptic symbols(?). Any way to do this, or are all the stock missions that come with FC3 locked? I searched and came up with a thread about campaign missions being locked (DLC) and am assuming single missions are also. I'm running stable build 1.5....

Art-J Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I don't have this module and its missions, but is it not possible to just change it in the mission editor? i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

cichlidfan Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just an FYI. Miz files are actually renamed zip files. If you have reason to want to hack a mission, instead of editing it in the ME, the way to do it is to rename it to a '.zip' extension, then unzip it. The files then can be edited with Notepad++. Then reverse the procedure to recreate a '.miz' file. In this case, as Art-J said, just use the ME.

Pitot Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Didn't the new changelog for the upcoming update state that you will be able to change mission date in ME? Don't ask, here's the answer: 95% of my posts are edited because I have OCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Didn't the new changelog for the upcoming update state that you will be able to change mission date in ME? I don't recall that in the change log, but AFAIK you have always been able to change the date and time in the ME. At least, I have been able to since before DCS World even existed.

Wrecking Crew Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yes, go to the Mission Editor and look at the Briefing panel to change it.

mj3437 Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks for the replies. All these years, and have yet to mess with the ME! Thanks again, and I hope I won't ask anymore obvious questions.

Pitot Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 What I've was thinking about is changing the year. XD Don't ask, here's the answer: 95% of my posts are edited because I have OCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 You will be able to change the year in 1.5.4 https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecking Crew Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hmmm, I wish that year was not listed at all. For instance, I have a Vietnam era mission and the year is displayed as 2011. In this calendar I use for mission building, the important things are sun times and moon phases... LOL, there are some posts about missing leap days, maybe the calendar could span two years to include a leap year, with a plus of having a two-year campaign! :-) Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.
