//QMB Pro v2.0

Is a repackaged, tweaked and supported version of QMB Minus by Fatcat_99. QMB Minus was a slightly recoded version of QMB Plus v1.1, which expands the capabilities of the in game Quick Mission Builder.



QMB Minus offered various important features over QMB Plus. Among them were:



1) Fully customizable and expandable Map Choices
2) Fully customizable Map order-of-appearance
3) Access to FMB through QMB

v2 also now features all missiong missions by Gerax44, done specialy for SAS!



Strangely however, the weaker version, QMB plus, was the one which was distributed widely and supported, while QMB minus  
became something of an urban legend.


Since a versatile and powerful QMB is an integral part of offline play, we at the SAS decided to go dig up QMB minus and  
turbocharge it.



This package gives you:

~a big whopping 26 working map options, that you can expand, reduce and arrange as you please.
~Fully functional included mission packs for all the Maps (that is 6 mission types per map!)
~Some Gui reference problems with QMB Minus have been solved, so you now have the sweetest version out there!

//Customization Guide

We made the layout of the section you have to paste into your config.ini up in that way to illustrate some things about it.
You can add maps to it using the same format, but you must add missions for them also!
you can rearrange maps, or take away maps, as long as it always runs in a numerical sequence, e.g.

"Custom0..." and then 1,2,3,4, ect.

You cannot miss numbers, or have an empty number slot.

In the gui_ru properties, you will see a lot of functions, followed by their description in the game. You can change virtually any description of anything to whatever you like. Enjoy that! Make a backup before you begin though!


Missions for QMB are contained in the folder inside the one you put in your mods folder, and their methodology is pretty self explanatory. Use the web for help with making your own if you need. I use Full Mission builder, although you have to work inside the games own Missions Folder. You then simply cut and paste your new, correctly named mission, to the one in mods.
You need not paste the mis properties file also. Here is also an edited section of Fatcat's original QMBPlus readme:

USING QMB MOD

In QMBMod you are getting new pack of missions for QMB. They are in Files/Missions/Quick folder.

Every map in QMB have 12 possible missions. Names of missions are made of name of the map and description. For example here are all names for Kuban map.

KubanRedNone00.mis
KubanRedArmor00.mis
KubanRedBridge00.mis
KubanRedAirbase00.mis
KubanRedScramble00.mis
KubanRedStrike00.mis
KubanBlueNone00.mis
KubanBlueArmor00.mis
KubanBlueBridge00.mis
KubanBlueAirbase00.mis
KubanBlueScramble00.mis
KubanBlueStrike00.mis

If you want to add other missions, just make them in FMB give them correct name and put them in Files/Missions/Quick folder.


Saved quick missions are kept in your game's own "Quicks" folder, in the main game directory.


//-----------------------------------------------
//Compatibility/Known Issues

You need IL2 4.09 with mods activated to use this
Conflicts with gui_ru can arrise for people using mod activators that use the old "Files" system
You must have a RedNone00 mission for a new map, if that mission is missing some people experienced problems.
