Hello.

After a good install of SFP1/Wings over Europe under W7 64 ( patch WOE_Update_Oct2008.exe and SFP_WOE_Weapon_Pack-25-01-09.exe) the game works fine.

No problems when I add aircrafts  using *.exe files (Mirage Factory).

Unfortunately,  as I tried to install aircrafts using *.zip files the planes were ok but my Weapon Editor (v. 042406) cleaned all the weapons (i made a backup of weapondata.ini and weapondata.dat and restored).

Here the instructions i followed:

1) Open WoE/Objects/Weapons/WEAPONDATA.ini in notepad.
2) Copy text from weapons.txt in this pack to the end of WEAPONDATA.ini.
3) Correct [WeaponDataxxx] -> xxx for next numbers in list.
4) save WEAPONDATA.ini.
5) delete WoE/Objects/Weapons/WEAPONDATA.DAT file.
6) Run WeaponEditor, open WoE/Objects/Weapons/WEAPONDATA.ini and save it.
This will generate new WEAPONDATA.DAT file.
Where's my mistake?
Can anybody Help me?

crobu,

 

I'm guessing you tried to add additional weapons to your original WoE install.

What I typically do is open the original WEAPONDATA.ini;

select the import function and "import" the weapons;

what you should see is all the new weapons located at the bottom of the list in the weapon editor window pane'

I then double click on any weapon from the list; and with the new weapon open, click save and then save again in the weapon editor.

That Creates a new WEAPONDATA.DAT file.

I then close the editor and start the game and choose the new weapons I added.

Problem solved.

Your  "how to" have been very helpful to me, but the problem was another one.

It was between my chair and my keyboard (i.e. my person).

I should have used the weapon editor v. 022008 istead of v. 042406.

Thank you.

      So I'm currently translating the editor to Chinese as you see below, and will continue to translate the editor to multiple languages.
       
       

       
       
      I can accept translation requests but I'll prioritize Chinese and Japanese for now. I'll probably finish this by the next week or so, since I get too busy around school sometimes

      Hi,
      After updating to October 2008 patch, the game hangs and then crashes at 60% while loading an instant or single mission.

      Wings Over World Menu Screens 
      January 13th, 2019 (1st Release)
      by Menrva

      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This package is my personal conversion of the beautiful Strike Fighters: Project One menu screens, with a number of enhancements for use in Strike Fighters 2. The main menu screen is a reworked version of the NACA Main Screen released by Camouflage (Checksix-fr.com). The title I chose for the main menu screen is "Strike Fighters: Wings Over World", in honor of the old WOE/WOV/WOI series of SF1 games. I find this name suitable for those who have a large mod folder spanning different world scenarios.
      Here below a quick summary of enhancements and additions:
      -All the music tracks from the SF games have been included; now there's a unique track for each screen.
      -Hangar Screen has got the hangar noise sounds which were present in the SF1 games.
      -Option to turn Lens Flare off as in the SF1 games is back.
      -Opportunity to change pilot at the Campaign Screen is reintroduced, as in the SF1 games.
      -Briefing Screen has been reintroduced for eye-candy (it has a small string "bug" with certain missions, since ThirdWire's removal of the FAC mission type).
      -Added generic _briefing.ini files for all the stock SF2 terrains (terrains without a _briefing.ini file might cause CTDs when accessing the Briefing Screen).
      -Added the missing PILOTPIC25 bitmap which is available in the SF1 games.
      -Loading Screen shows a generic runway and a new, longer loading sound is used.
      -Mission Editor DLC is supported with a new screen in the same style of the other screens.
      -Campaign Customizer DLC is supported with a new screen in the same style of the other screens.
      -Disabled unnecessary functions of the the System Menu, such as accessing ThirdWire's online site for viewing the game manual.
      As a bonus, the package includes 42 single missions taking place across all theatres of the SF2 series; most of them have been made by ThirdWire and released in their SF1 games. Five single missions are Instant Action scenarios of Strike Fighters 2, which I converted to be choosable and playable in the Single Missions Screen. Additional missions include historical scenarios created by guyran for the Israel theater. I renamed all single missions to use a nicer naming convention. Needless to say, all SF2 titles must be installed to be able to play all the missions.
      In addition, I have tweaked some Flight folder files to improve the realism of the game's HUD and in-game map. Since users may not like such changes, those files are not included by default, they must be installed manually. They can be found inside the "(Additional Tweaks)" folder. Here below a quick summary of changes they bring:
      -Disabled all the unuseful Labels when viewing the in-game map.
      -Disabled the arcade cones; lock your target and press F4 to visually track it.
      -Tweaked icons' colours so that they match the text's colours.
      -The in-game text background is less noticeable.
      -Text's font is now different, it is generally smaller and less obtrusive.
      -No more red and blue arcade squares when locking objects on; a faint yellow square is now used.
      -The white triangle showing the next waypoint is now a faint yellow, unlike the default strong white.
      -Disabled the radar box display; check the radar of your plane's cockpit, instead.

      >Credits (in no particular order):
      -ThirdWire, for the fantastic menu screens which are included in the stock SFP1 game.
      -kout, for the System Menu icon I have taken from his SF1 Grey Main Menu Replacement mod.
      -Camouflage, for the NACA Main Screen (still available at the archives of Checksix-fr.com), which I have reworked.
      -HomeFries, for the planning map enhancements available in his Semi-Transparent Map Icons package.
      -Viper63a, for the Loading sound, which I got from one of his menu mods.
      -paulopanz, for collecting and updating guyran's WOI custom missions properly to SF2 standards.
      -guyran, for the original custom missions he created for Wings Over Israel.
      -KJakker, for his interest and welcome support.

      Hi everybody,
      I have a very big issue in Strike Fighters 2, which i also had on Strike Fighters Project 1 before: whenever a radio communication is given (wingman, HQ, etc...) the game FREEZES for a couple of seconds.
      I tried EVERY SINGLE THING (lowering graphical settings, selecting my dedicated graphical card as default...)
      Nothing changed.
      I discovered that the problem is related to the audio communications files, since i tried deleting all radio chatter files from SFP1 game directory, and the issue is gone, no more stutters or freezes.
      The only thing is that i can only play the game without any form of radio communications, just ambience, weapons and plane sounds... that's kinda bad
      SO, I finally found out the problem is related to these files, i tried changing the audio channels into the in-game settings, switching from 16 to 8, to 24 and 32... I don't need to tell you that NOTHING HAPPENED.
      In conclusion, what can i do?
      I'm desperate since i can't find anything similar on the internet, and no one seems to have my same problem, so i can't find any solution.
      I thought that it was related just to the old SFP1, since it could maybe have some optimization problem on newer machines... but the exact same happened as soon as i played SF2 for the first time.
      I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP, and i thank you A LOT for helping me out, cause i really really have no idea of what to do to play it with radio chatter without being LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
      Thank you all again
