Resaver function question.

[BlitzPig_EL]

I can't seem to remember how this worked in the old sim, and am trying to figure it out but have hit a wall.

I see the resaver in tools, but cannot make it work.

This is inside a .bat file in the resaver folder.

MissionResaver.exe -d C:\IL2Series\data -f C:\IL2Series\data\Multiplayer\Dogfight\Mission.mission
rem echo off
rem first path should point to the main data folder
rem second path shold point at the mission file to be re-saved
rem mission file itself, text localization files, binary mission file and .list file will be re-saved

There is a bat file that gives an example. If you run the missionresaver exe in a cmd box with help after it lists the parms usage

eg 

MissionResaver.exe -d C:\IL2Series\data -f C:\IL2Series\data\Multiplayer\Dogfight\Mission.mission
rem echo off
rem first path should point to the main data folder
rem second path shold point at the mission file to be re-saved
rem mission file itself, text localization files, binary mission file and .list file will be re-saved
pause

Unlike in the old mission editor, In the Korea ME you have to open a mission file to have access to any of the tools commands.

Once you have a mission open, select the tools drop down list, select resave all missions in folder, browse to the game folder containing the missions you want to update, click OK, and wait until the window closes when the process is complete.

I find it much faster to delete the .msnbin file manually, open the game in the ME, save it and close it. I think it takes less than half the time that way and accomplishes the same task.

Why do we need this tool anyway?
When is it necessary?

If an update to the sim changes how something in a mission works or adds a new feature to an existing mission element, you may need to resave missions you or someone else created so they work again. You don't need to update missions that come with the sim.

Third party tools like the Easy Mission Generator and PWCG build a mission and use resaver to create the actual mission files. Now mission resaver is here for Korea I am hoping Easy Mission Generator for IL2 Korea will arrive assuming Vander has spare time to rework it from the IL2 GB version.

¿Por qué necesitamos esta herramienta de todos modos?

The mission generator creates *.Mission files—text files containing the mission data—which are typically large in size.
The Mission Editor (ME) then uses the "Resarver" tool to generate an *msbin* file; this file is much lighter and suitable for sharing in online matches.
While not strictly necessary, using this process is highly recommended.
The standalone Resarver tool is intended for users who wish to create dynamic campaigns by pulling data from a previous mission; they can then modify or create a *.Mission file (which will likely be very large) and use Resarver to generate the corresponding *msbin* file.
