Fixed Old Moscow Campaigns

[Andrey78]

Hi Virtual Pilots, I've decided to fix old campaigns for Moscow map, so far 2 old campaigns by Samson for Mig-3 are ready:
1. ColdWinter - https://www.mediafire.com/file/zj19om1d9b5pwkq/ColdWinter_fixed.zip/file

2. Moscow Sky - https://www.mediafire.com/file/8s0dzmm8gpbgpqi/Moscow_Sky_fixed.zip/file

Next Albert's Live campaign is coming...
Enjoy!

Thanks!  I was actually just playing Cold Winter recently.  What needed to be fixed?

 

I hope Samson is doing well; I honestly believe he has the absolute best campaigns for Great Battles.

Thank you very much for sharing these with the community, flew all the originals sometime ago.

The Moscow map height was changed somewhere in 2020, and i was not able to find ColdWinter version after this change anywhere in internet,
so with objects below terrain the campaign was broken. I spent some time to learn STEditor, and fortunately it is not that hard to fix height in a campaign.
Samson's campaigns are brilliant, and i replay them time after time.

Hi Andrey, thanks, seems the link above is dead? I already fixed with 4.006, but i just ran a resave with 7.008:

Here is Samson's Fabulous Taman Bridgehead Campaign revamped, maybe someone wants to test it?:

Taman: Some fixes could be done like replacing the old complex smoke effects with the new looped ones.

Seems quite a bit of work .. there are spawned AAA vehicles involved as well. Would be nice if someone can design a replacement, as the MCU interactions seem important.

EXAMPLE of Samsons Village Smoke Group:: 

There are also mission integrity errors also to be fixed; mission 01, "small warehouse " f.e.:

Object(5778:Block) >> no model file! : graphics\blocks\smallwarehouse.mgm
Object(5778:Block) >> no script file! : LuaScripts\WorldObjects\Blocks\smallwarehouse.txt
Max vehicles with entity number exceeded! max: 40, actual: 65
Max planes with entity number exceeded! max: 20, actual: 34
Max ships with entity number exceeded! max: 10, actual: 13
Max effects with entity number exceeded! max: 12, actual: 22
Max total entity number exceeded! max: 80, actual: 147

The fix is change "smallwarehouse.mgm" and the luascript to "port_up_object_smallwarehouse.mgm" in all the mission files. 

No errors after recreating the msnbin files with the ME.

     BTW all CREDITS to SAMSON !

ADDED: some quicky group testers with looped effects for a start:  Smoke and Fire testers JJ.zip
