Ladies and Gentlemen!
We are happy to announce that patch 5.007 for Desert Wings - Tobruk has just been released and is now available for all owners of the game. This time we mostly focused on updating the audio and expanding the mission scripting API.
Read the full changelog here:
Changelog:
Sounds:

Visuals:

Mission Scripting API:
- Logging convenience functions Two and one parameter methods added to gpLogServer.
- AMission, new property 'string PathMyself' Contains the (relative) path/filename to the mission script itself.
class Mission : AMission { ... SomeFunc() { GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, this.PathMyself, new object[] { }); /// output: "missions\server\MyMission\MyMission.cs" } ... } - ABattle, new method "AMission GetBaseMission()" - Returns the base mission. That allows any sub mission to get a 'pointer' to the base mission. Limitation: As all missions are of type public Mission : AMission, only the AMission methods and properties are accessible (those the mission builder added are not). See "OnIntraMissionsMessage" below.
- AMission, new method "public virtual object[] OnIntraMissionsMessage(string sMsg, object[] args = null)". This allows the base mission and sub-missions to communicate with each other by sending messages to each other via this method.
/// SUB-MISSION public override void Inited() { base.Inited(); AMission BaseMission = Battle.GetBaseMission(); BaseMission.OnIntraMissionsMessage("sub-mission xyz to base mission: here I am", new object[] { this }); } /// BASE MISSION public override object[] OnIntraMissionsMessage(string sMsg, object[] args = null) { if(sMsg.Equals("sub-mission xyz to base mission: here I am") { m_SubMissions.Add("xyz", (args[0] as AMission)); } return null; }
