Magic Zach Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I think it would be nice to have a mod similar to the ground equipment mods that are out there, but WWII styled. Some props (as in "objects") should appear when you are doing this such as rearming, (a trolley full of ammo boxes?) requesting ground power (RAF accumulator trolley appears), and idk about repairing or "Run the starter!"

dora Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I have the same issue as others. It doesn't launch DCS. :( I have this in my logs : 00006.442 ALERT DCS: Error running Scripts/Database/db_scan.lua: [string "C:\User_Profile\Saved Games\DCS\Mods/tech/WW2 RDF Radar Station/WW2-RDF-Transmitter.lua"]:76: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) Could you please look and see if that can give you any clue to resolve this issue ? Best regards. :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNTSAG Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi Dora, Please PM me or drop in here your crash log and a copy of the WW2-RDF-Transmitter.lua file from your saved games folder and I will take a look. This is an issue for only a few people so far and we are unable to recreate the problem at our end. Thanks.

Esac_mirmidon Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I think i have a clue about this. You said you are using features from the Patriot radar and that luas are stored inside scripts folder in the main instalation. On my experience mods that lack scripts folder with lua files needed are causing problems on the start of DCS. Maybe you need to add a scripts folder with the modified Patriot files needed.

ESA_maligno Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I think, if you do not have the BFVG WWII mod installed Airfield equipment along with the CH mod the latter does not work. In my case if I activate the two together the CH works, if I remove WWII Airfield equipment the CH stops working and DCSW does not start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 ESA_maligno hits the sweet spot ¡¡¡ Thats the problem in 1.5.7, and maybe in 2.1.1 You must have BOTH MODS Chain Home and Raf Equimpent Pack to make them work. When i put both in tech folder inside 1.5.7 DCS is starting flawless. So something are related between them andso you need both to make them work. Thanks again for your support and maligno.

SUNTSAG Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Excellent Fellas and thank you for determining the issue. I would love to say it was a marketing ploy on our part to get people to download both mods but I would be lying lol :thumbup: However I have looked into the issue and found nothing yet that stops you needing both for Chain Home to function. I will continue to try and resolve it but nothing I have done so far fixes the problem. Have fun with it though :pilotfly: Edited August 26, 2017 by SUNTSAG Callsign: NAKED My YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

352ndDeacon Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I've d/l'd the CH and RAF equipment pack and put them into the correct place. when I search for them within the ME, I can see and place all of the CH objects EXCEPT the transmitter tower. It is not listed within the objects in the Air Defense grouping. It is listed within the folder of the WW2 RDF Radar Station but not within the game or ME. Any help getting this to work would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am therefore going to have to revisit the code and see what I can do to get this to work again. It may take a while as I am working on our next Mod which should be due release shortly, so please bare with me. Many thanks.

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Does anyone have a mission with this implemented and set up for Normandy that they care to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naj-Treg Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Does anyone have a mission with this implemented and set up for Normandy that they care to share? Hi zionid, I created very basic mission just to test the working of the script. DCS version: 2.2.0.12843 Map: Normandy MIST version: 4.3.71 CTLD: latest update I edited the ChainHome.LUA the so the messages appear automaticly when they detect an enemy plane. To do: -download the attached mission (i put in with the mission the .lua files i used.not needed when you test the mission.) - start the mission -wait till message 'chain home radar is now **manned** - select F10 for picture' appears -go to radio menu--->F10.other--->F1. chain home radar..--->F3 turn picture report on/off--->F1. message on if correct you wil get the messages automaticly when radar detects an enemy. this should be around 5 or 6 minutes in the mission. When there are enemy planes detected you will get the message every 30 seconds with the updated bearing, range and altitude. If you want to ask manually for a radar picture you need to edit the ChainHome.LUA file. open the file with a editor and change the following line: ewrs.onDemand = false --Setting to true will disable the automated messages to everyone and will add an F10 menu to get picture / BRA message. To: ewrs.onDemand = true --Setting to true will disable the automated messages to everyone and will add an F10 menu to get picture / BRA message. when you edited the lua file you need to re-load it in the mission. to do this: go to the mission editor and load the mission. -go to the triggers menu - select trigger: ChainHome script -select DO SCRIPT FILE (ChainHome.lua) -select the edited Chainhome.lua file -save the mission I hope this will guide you in the right direction. Good luck, Naj-TregChainHome.luaCTLD.luamist_4_3_71.luaChainHome Test.miz Edited January 6, 2018 by Naj-Treg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNTSAG Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 I have upgraded this mod and it can now be downloaded via the link highlighted in the first post. It includes the following: Chain Home Radar Mod. Static Template of readymade sites on the English South Coast (Normandy Map). Sound files associated with the "ChainHometest.lua". ChainHometest.lua file. 1. Down load the Mod and extract it. 2. Place the extracted folder in your DCS saved games, in the tech folder. 3. Inside the complete mod folder is another folder called "StaticTemplate Script & Sound Files". It contains the files needed to make this work fully within a mission. the STM file needs to be copied to your static template folder within saved games. You will then be able to load the template in the mission editor. Once loaded you will have 10 sites on the South Coast of England. You will of course still require the MIST script Enjoy the update. :thumbup: Callsign: NAKED My YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Loving this mod and using it extensively with our virtual Spit squadron. I have a few minor questions: When we fly a group of 4, requesting a picture from RDF gives us 4 huge boxes, showing the contacts relative to all members. Would it be possible to tweak it so that it only displays the information for the player requesting it- so the same information would not be repeated for all players? Also, is it possible to tweak how long these messages are displayed, as I'd like them to show a bit shorter. Thanks again for a great mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
352ndDeacon Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If we don't have a static template folder within our saved Games folder, do we just make one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 If we don't have a static template folder within our saved Games folder, do we just make one? Yes, quoting Suntsag: "You need to create the following folder in your saved games DCS folder location called StaticTemplate exactly as typed here with lower case and upper case text. You can then place the .STM file in this location."
