Looking for mission/campaign collectors, players, and builders
 

Good day, I speak English, hopefully you will be able to translate this.


I know I have not posted at all around here, perhaps some of you will know me from other parts of the 46 community.

A month and a bit ago, I started a project known as the R.R.R project (Reclamation, Restoration, Reindex) for IL-2 1946. The goal of this project is to recover what is lost due to dead download links, hard drive failures, etc. What is happening right now is the 1946 community has descended into a kind of a "dark age", with the lose of data becoming more real and present every year. People at one point in time had access to loads of links, information, and campaigns, and would have downloaded those things from sites and links that are now dead. Hopefully, many still have them stored on their Hard Drives, and, through cloud sharing, can be added to the project, bringing these various lost files to light once again.

So far, we have amassed over 130 THOUSAND SKINS due to users uploading. Currently, we are looking for more skins, but more importantly, more missions/campaigns.

This is where you good people come in. I need people with collections of skins, missions, campaigns, anything else to willingly donate their files to the archive. Transfers can be completed through various forms, either through logging into supplied google drive accounts, mediafire, etc. If you would wish to send me your files uploaded on your terms, using your services, feel free to do so. Either reply here, send me a message, or email me at:

josiah.tonner@gmail.com

This archive will be open to the public once it is fully archived and indexed, you can read about it in depth in this post: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.p...c,72611.0.html

We are looking for old campaigns that are not readily available anymore, however we will also take skins, single missions, or anything else you wish to donate.

Looking forward to hearing from you, take care, cheers,

You can share campaigns, but Russian-speaking players have campaigns in Russian. Will they be interesting to English-speaking players?

They will certainly be interesting to me and others! Alot of english speaking people have translated public campaigns from here into english, so anything and everything would be great!

Please do not use my projects for SAS. This applies to my work under other nicknames - MURD0C, Начпрод, STALKER, Castel/
http://forum.aviaskins.com/showpost....7&postcount=47

in this case I can post several dozen or even hundreds of campaigns, both static and dynamic

У меня тоже огромный архив и скинов, и кампаний и миссий

Fantastic stuff! Whatever you have I will take (Hopefully hundreds of things as you say...), what would be the best method of data transfer? Do you prefer to upload it on your own data systems such as Yandex, or would you like a Yandex account supplied to you to log into with sufficient space (I.E. 1 TB)? Either or works, thanks again for the help, cheers.

By no means is this in any association with SAS. This is a public project spanning various websites. However, if you still wish your content to be withheld, I can only grant you this: Your content will not be downloaded directly, however if a different user has your content in their archives and has uploaded that to the project, it will simply be on there. I do not have near any amount of time to go through every itty bitty file and check if your content is there, I already have over a terabyte of data stored! Hope you understand, please tell me if you would like your content directly withheld as offered, of if you would like to give your blessing to this public and free project.

Cheers,

No, let everything remain on aviaskins.

for me the method of transfer does not matter, I can archive the dgen folders, campaigns and missions, the folder with skins and send the archives to wherever it is convenient for you

If you could be so kind and upload them to a cloud service of your choice, and then PM or post the links here to those archives, I can download them and then add them to the archive. It is somewhat hard to have you add them directly to the archive right not, as it is not configured properly. In the future this will not be an issues. If your skins folders are too big for your cloud server account, I can purchase a yandex account for you to use for the time being... Let me know what you decide.

Cheers,

The archive contains over 200 static Russian-language campaigns for different countries

This archive contains videos of some campaigns from the previous archive.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/gj5wx...Intros.7z/file

Splendid thanks for both! Is this all you collection or are you in the process of uploading more? Thanks again for taking the time to do that! Do you know which game versions you played these in? Worst comes to worst I can run the campaign validator on them... Thanks alot once again,

cheers,

sercrets

campaigns for versions 4.12.2 and 4.13.4, some campaigns are also in version 4.14
that's not all, I also want to make an archive with DGen campaigns, several dozen Russian-language and English-language

DGen campaigns in English
https://www.mediafire.com/file/zmlzi...Gen_en.7z/file
DGen campaigns in Russian
https://www.mediafire.com/file/1omqp...Gen_ru.7z/file

Sounds good, feel free to upload as much as you want! I eagerly await!

Something I found with the first batch of campaigns; some of them appear to be mission the .mis files to them... Only thing present are the videos and the properties files. I have made a list if you install still has them, could you send them over?

UM: Dogs, Lions, Marines, Wake.

UN: VF27, VF83, Cat, Clash

US: Infantry, Night, 475th, Darkest Hour, 348th.

I THINK thats the only ones with issues. Did a very brief glance through of the other countries as well...

You dont happen to have skins that would have went with these campaigns would you? :cool:

Thanks again, This is very, very, very appreciated. Cheers,

sercrets

there is a Russian proverb "haste makes waste" ))
I hurried and sent you only translations of these campaigns, in the archive there are full versions with skins, screenshots, backgrounds and readme in English version

https://www.mediafire.com/file/02eir...pd/USA.7z/file

Splendid. No problem on the rushing, it happens.

Do not worry too much about English translations etc, whilst they are nice, if you have additional campaigns that are strictly in your language, by all means, upload them! This is not just a project for the English speaking community, it is a project for everyone, the French, the Italians, etc.

Is this the last of them? No problem if it is, I am just trying to make sure I get every little thing. If there are still more, simply say so, and I will stop asking until you state your done so I can stop pestering :D

Thanks for the files again, it truly means a lot, check your PM's for a small gift...

cheers,

replied in a private message

Still looking for many files! If you have some please contact me! The more the better. I would rather have duplicates than missing files!

Cheers,

sercrets.

I sent you a PM regarding this, or we could communicate here…

Cheers,

I have Russian versions of all patches (well, many) and addons for IL-2 FB, including patches separately for IL-2 PH. There is an installer for IL-2 SPSh (Samiy Perviy Shturmovik (russian) = The very first sturmovik) and patches 1.1 and 1.2. There is also a demo version of IL-2 SPSh in Russian and English. Are you interested in any of this?

Sure thing! I will gladly take them! How would you like to upload them?

I have several cloud storages.

Sounds good! If you could upload them and send me the links, you will be supplied with an early access link to the archival where you will be free to download whatever you please!

Cheers,

Thank you for all who have uploaded to the project so far and to those who are in the midst of doing so!

We are still looking for more user uploads, so if you have any skins, missions, campaigns, net caches, or anything else of interest, please message me on here, or email josiah.tonner@gmail.com!

Thanks!

Still looking! We have found lots so far but there is always more that can be found.

An update:

Greetings everyone! Apologies for the extended hiatus, we have been hard at work collecting files and organizing them, as well as making some improvements to the website!

First things first, we have been slowly but surely transferring files over from the Google Drive to our own Hardware, Unfortunately this is taking more time than we would like, however this is slowly being completed.

We have received a few more file donations, which were all very useful. Recently Korrigan from SAS has graciously uploaded some skins to the project, as well as uploading some campaigns from around 2011. These appear to mostly be Poltava and other prominent campaign makers of there day, most of which are still archived on mission4today. Regardless, it is still good to archive these, should M4T fall.

Additionally, Timex62 from SAS has mailed Ta183huckebein a flash drive FILLED with treasures. Included on this USB drive:

- Backgrounds, such as the one featured as the cover photo for this post on our website: https://il2rrr.com/
- 208 BAT Campaigns
- 623 Campaigns circa 2000-2006
- 12 Multiplayer Coop Campaigns
- 1076 Single Missions circa 2000-2006
- Some music files
- Some skins.
- Lars from SAS has also donated 246 various campaigns.

We have developed code that is able to decrypt NetCache missions; so these are now incredibly valuable to us!

We continue to persevere and look for more files! When we say anything, we mean anything, from any time. I had started to begin to think that perhaps there was not that many files missing, however Timex's files have proved me wrong. Even single missions, or your net cache folders from back in the day would help a lot. If you have things to upload, please contact me, either through here, or on SAS (sercrets), or through my email, josiah.tonner@gmail.com

We are hoping that the next update will come sooner. Thank you for your continued support. It is with great hope that we wait more files as well as additional support. The future of IL-2 1946 is in your hands. Cheers, The RRR team.
