John open you Mission Editor and look into your list of map.Do you have the foollwoing 2 items included:
hill206_1
hill206_1map
As well check your LEVELS/SCRIPTS/cm_users folder to see of you have for each the following 3 subfolders for example:
Africa_1_1_loc_data TEXT folder Africa_1_scripts.engscr ENGSCR folder Africa_1_zones ENGCFG folder
If you don' t have them for your crashing 001 missions that' s the root of your problem.001 essentially means there's one or more element missing in your game thta prevents it from loading properly.The hitch is to find what's missing...
BTW those missions were made for the Steel Panzer 1.4 mod .They work for me at least with Beta 1.5.

Hi Frinik, If you don't mind, I'd also like to try the 'Tobruk' mission. Could you just send me the mission files? I already have the Hill_206 map somewhere, I have tried the other 2 missions, 'Africa_1' and 'afrikakorps_01'. They're actually different missions with different maps. (I wish they were more imaginative with the names ) - 'Africa_1' (actually the translated name is 'The Battle for Sidi Rezegh') needs the 'alex_poly_01' map.
- 'afrikakorps_01' (no name, but it's near Gazala) needs the 'desert1' map. This is the one with the long radio briefing.
The '001 error' could be due to the 2 maps being missing, I hope this helps!

Frinik You sent me in the email the 3 missions and the hill206_1map.Kyth might be right I think youll need a map for each mission which makes 3 maps. I dont know where to get the other maps. Maybe Kyth can help. Ineed that map for Africa1 that kyth has and we both might need the map for tobruk unless one of the other maps double for Africa 01 and tobruk.

I agree, the blasted Desert Mod appears to be one big question mark! Those damnable 'datapacks' cause more problems than they solve
Frinik and JohnN, (and everyone else who's interested in the Afrika Korps), Once I get that elusive 'Tobruk' mission. I'll compile what I have into a logical, easy-to-use set of downloads and I'll make it a sticky! What do you say?

Amen! here are my thoughts. Frinik sent me in an email 4 datapacks. Africa1 Africa01 Tobruk and hill206_1map. I like the datapacks they are so easy to unpack with the editors and they write to the usercamp file for you instead of manually pasting it in there. Ok when the missions are unpacked and the map is unpacked the missions appear in the game menu under user missions no problem but you error out in Africa1 and tobruk i feel because there are no maps for them thats easy if you can get the map datapacks somewhere. Simple 3 mission datapacks 3 map datapacks and thats it. All ineed are the other 2 maps you have 1 and i dont know where youll get tobruk map. Id prefer them in datapack format thats all the editors recognize and it makes it simple. Maybe you can email me the map u have for Africa 1. thanks John

John/Kyth all 3 missions seem to use the hill206_map the only thing I can think of is that in my mission editor for maps I have both:
hill206_1
hill206_1map
John I"ll email you the hill206_1 part which you don't have it may be the clue to yoru problem.It' s datapack file and just insert it with the other maps through the maps editor.
Kyth I ll email both hill206_1 and hill206_1map datapack files and see how it works for you.I don' t have any other desert map in my ME and all 3 missions work well for me?

Hi Frinik, I have to disagree about the maps; the hill206 map is definitely different from the others, it's go a dry wadi going through it: Meanwhile, the 'desert1' map has this bumpy terrain: And the 'alex_poly' map is something else again: If you could e-mail to me just the Tobruk mission files, I'll try to compile them all for everyone to download and enjoy, 8) Thanks!

You´re right Kyth Stone mission uses a different map which I haven´t been able to extract and out into my map editor. Obviously I have it somewhere in my gqme the polypack file since the mission works well for me.I´ve got the other 2 and I thought they were the same but there are, as you so aptly pointed out, differences . Which Tobruk files do you need me to email you exactly?

Hi Frinik, I need just the basic mission files for 'Tobruk': - <mission name>.level
- <mission name>_loc_data.text
- <mission name>_scripts.engscr
- <mission name>_zones.engcfg
It's okay to send me the datapack file for Tobruk, I'll figure out how the rest of it works, Thanks!

Ok I ll search KYth no problem for the datapack but I am not sure I kept the whole Tobruk folder.
I ll send you Rend Prokhorovska map and Stone Soboleivskii one I managed to extrat both from the polypack and I ahve the new maps whxih can be useful to play with for new missions.The Soboleivskii was originallry created for SP 1.4 but since Stoen incorporated or recycled those missions into Beta 1.5 as part of the T34/85 campaign you can enable and use that map.For Rends you ll need to enable his Prokhorovska beta version one mod for the map to work.
Cheers

Thanks in advance to Kyth and Frinik for trying to get this Afrika mod riddle sorted once and for all. I have only one of the 3(?) missions supposedly available and haven't been able to get a "straight answer" on how to get all of this mod on one installation and also available for possible further development. Very frustrating since I'd much rather explore SF in Egypt and Libya than anywhere on teh eastern Front. I'll be VERY happy if someone can manage to compile a new collection of all the files and scenarios, and can put them in a place where they can be downloaded and installed "clean" (unlike the originals, it seems, where the initial authors are either gone from the community or asleep at the wheel). Kudos

I just got the Africa1 going im doing one at a time got the file from stone 2009. Step 1 - place africa1 folder in your mod enabler, unpack the datapack in mission editor,then place usercamp entry from notepad. It has the Alex poly map in the data files you dont need to unpack this one. Now im going to get Africa 01 going with Friniks files thats easier using hill206map. By the way that Africa1 user mission has a Russian name in the game menu it might translate the Road to Sid R.Now for the elusive Tobruk. Ive got friniks datapack and as Kyth says this map will probably be just hill206. ive got the file but its not datapack so i might try to manually place it in envs.Anyhow im sure kyth is quite capable of putting it all in one for the community and put this puppy to rest. John

Frinik, If it helps, you might want to find the following essential mission files : tobruk2.level tobruk2_loc_data.text tobruk2_scripts.engscr tobruk2_zones.engcfg Thanks,

Kyth unable to find the whole Tobruk file but I emailed you the hill_206 map and hill206_1 datapacks and the Tobruk2 datapack as well.My problem is that I installed those mods-missions 2 years ago and I dont remember where I put the original downloads or if I even kept them as nobody was interested in the desert mod until a flurry of interest for 3 months now? I tried looking on tanksim.org.ru as they sued to have the africa missions but they re gone now.... Still I know that Stone 2009 posted it just 3 weeks ago or so on the avia forum.Ill look them up.I have to share one internet connection with my wife and 2 children here so.
