Grimes Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Coalition Modification by Grimes and uboats. This simple mod adds an often sought out feature to the mission editor to modify the countries belonging to each coalition after a mission has been created. Perfect for when ED adds new countries to the game that fit your scenario or you simply forgot one when first creating the mission. Download from Github To install copy and paste the mission editor folder from the download into your installs mission editor folder. A few files will need to be overwritten, other files are brand new. Usage Guide To access the menu open the Briefing Panel and Select the new button "Update Coalitions" You will then be greeted by a UI that looks similar to the one from creating the mission. Move countries around as you need. Note that changes will be added to the "Change log" on the left of the menu. It breaks down the countries moved and how many units in how many groups have been moved. If you are moving them to the neutral coalition then the units will be deleted! OK: Accepts the changes Cancel: Exits the menu and will not apply any changes. Upon exiting the menu note that nothing has appeared to have changed yet. You must save the mission in order for the mission editor to update for the changes made. Original thread was deleted for an unknown reason, so I've remade it. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Teschmacher Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) awesome! thanks can't believe why this feature isn't implemented yet in DCS.. what would be useful is to create custom coalition presets with custom names we can recall later. and of course a NEUTRAL / CIVILIAN coalition Edited December 16, 2019 by Teschmacher My custom made aircraft skins and other content for DCS World!

joey45 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Dose this go in the saved games folder and is this GME compatible?? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

TIGER Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 This mod should be implemented yesterday from ED. it is pity because this feature could cut our workload when we need to modify missions and coalitions. Without the mod we have to rebuild the missions from 0. http://104thphoenix.com/ "Failure Is Not An Option" - Online Combat Simulation Since 1997 www.youtube.com/user/AntonioGR201 www.twitch.tv/104th_Tiger www.facebook.com/TIGER.GR.Tiger/ Discord: 104th_Tiger#1883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron533 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Great mod! Thank you! Definitely should be native in game. Grimes, I see you are part of ED’s testers team, do you have any ‘say’ here?? ;) Callsign SETUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Grimes, I see you are part of ED’s testers team, do you have any ‘say’ here?? ;) Unfortunately not really. Pretty much the only reason I made the mod originally was because of the response to the feature request I made for it. Even in a few Q&A posts they've shot it down. For one reason or another they don't want to add it. Could always try again. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

For one reason or another they don't want to add it. Could always try again. Too bad it's like that... :( It's great that you've at least made it for us, as a stop gap, but adding more and more modifications to the game, for features that should have been native from day one - just creates allot of headaches to maintain all of it, and increases the possible bugs and issues that could have been prevented otherwise... I hope they will listen to you in the next round. Thanks again! :thumbup: Ron Callsign SETUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Broken This mod no longer works for me when trying to load the Persian map after updating to open beta 2.5.6.43453. It worked fine before the update, now it hangs when loading the Persian Gulf map at terraingraphics.init: 97, persiangulf.ng5 I have to revert back to the original files or the mission won't load.

Alpenwolf Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Doesn't really work for me. Adding a country to a coalition went well. However, if I want to place a new unit of that new added country, that unit is invisible. S!

However, if I want to place a new unit of that new added country, that unit is invisible. You missed the instruction that says "You must save the mission in order for the mission editor to update for the changes made. " This means that after altering the Coalitions, you have to save and then load again the mission before adding new units.
