Convo Pack + DTII = How many missions?

Simple question which I can't seem to find an answer for in old posts. How many missions does the convo pack and dark times 2 have? I don't have the convo pack installed since it takes up a lot of missions but I would like to know the exact amount so I can judge how many maps/mods I would have to take out...

I know that I once had both mods, but I forget if it was over the mission limit. Even so, it's not too much of a problem because you'll still be able to play most of the maps.

If it is over the limit, you have a problem. If it isn't, then you're good, but it'll be close. I remember once I was barely over the limit but I forget if it was with or without DTI. It may have been with simply DTII and Convo pack.

Really? Then where are the other threads? :wink:


I know I can have both mods installed at once but I don't know how many missions I have remaining. That's really what I want to know. How many missions do I have left after I install DT2 and Convo pack?

I guess I'm going to have to stop using that image if people are going to start using it incorrectly. It's only supposed to be used when the topic has been created enough times that a simple search would bring up the answer people are looking for.

It's not intended to be used if the person said they looked and couldn't find a topic that answered their question. And for the record, I'm really confident no one has asked his specific question ever before.

As for the topic at hand, you could check yourself by opening the addme.script files for both mods using a hex editor, and look for all the script names. Then count them all.

Or you can wait for Mav to shed some light on this. He's the person who will most likely be able to answer the question easily, as he worked on both projects. It's possible he still has the mission.req for both mods.

The Conversion Pack uses 354 missions (provided the 2.2 patch is installed) and Dark Times II uses 105. The Conversion Pack 2.0 (without the patch) uses 406 missions and the original Dark Times used about 40.

Provided you're all up-to-date, you've got about 40 missions left, which is enough for one of a few other large mods or ten-ish maps. The Conversion Pack rarely stays in my addon folder (it's in a backup folder, obviously) for this reason - if I want to play that, I pull it and only it out.

Thanks Mav! I am able to have the Conversion Pack 2.2, Dark Times 2 and Rising Conflict CW installed along with 1 other map without going over the limit. Thanks for posting this.

I also don't have the Conversion Pack installed all of the time. I usually manually install and uninstall it if I want to play it. Less room taken up.
