  1. This script outputs to a text file from MAX the min/maxExtentPosition for all of a models nodes
    The min / max extents are calculated on the bounding box of the node so YMMV if you have very irregular nodes (some hand tuning)
    Obviously this is only of use to people with the max file models…
     
    The output looks like this
     

    ------------------------------ Fuselage MinExtentPosition=-0.42,-1.127,-0.86 MaxExtentPosition=0.42,2.63,0.778 Cockpit MinExtentPosition=-0.42,0.38,-0.727 MaxExtentPosition=0.42,2.484,0.173 Radiator MinExtentPosition=-0.506,-0.535,-0.063 MaxExtentPosition=0.506,0.495,0.935 ---------etc etc
     
     
    Please feel free to offer improvements

  3. In #10 (Mustang says it's #4 in the video, but I renamed it to a higher number as it deals with completed models, etc.) Mustang covers how to 'un-wrap' objects and use Lithunwrap so that skins can be made.
     
    Lithunwrap is available for FREE here:

  4. A little app for managing, viewing and modifying TW game colour swatches
     
    Probably only really useful (maybe) for those playing with environments and effects
     
    It’s a little rough so let me know if anyone finds glaring errors or thinks it could be better … anyone being the 1.5 people who find it useful ;-)
     
    “Features”
    RGB colour sliders (RGB conversion)
    Copy and paste box for TW colour “code” eg 0.045, 0.34, 0.59
    Forty-two editable swatches for your comparing pleasure
    All swatches are nameable
    Save out all swatch/names to a txt file
    Load in saved txt files
     
    I’ve included a sample I/O txt file of the major FE addon environment colours
     
    Have fun

  6. Version 1.0
     
    This mod will allow you to add a personalized photo attached with a piece of tape to just about any cockpit.
     
     
    Things you will need:
     
    1. Any version of a ThirdWire sim patched to Oct 08 or newer.
     
    2. A graphics editing program (Gimp, Paint.net, Adobe Photoshop, etc) that can work with .bmp files.
     
    3. (Optional) CAT Extractor, located here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...mp;showfile=343
     
     
    *********************CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION*********************************
     
    This mod will change how the cockpit interacts with the external model. You may need to do multiple adjustments depending on how they relate to each other. If you are NOT willing to be ready to do this, DO NOT install this mod.
     
    The technique used is similiar to what was done in this thread (and can have the same pitfalls): http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=32148
     
    *********************CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION*********************************
     
     
     
    Notes:
     
    This still relies on the FE Open Cockpit method to make outside parts visible inside the cockpit.
     
    The 'photo' will be visible externally as well, but only for a very short distance...in other words, you won't see it outside unless you're very close up.

  9. this is the 3rd Wird cat extractor for SF/Wo* games at the 08 patch level.
     
    unzip, and drop on you deskpop; especially if your machine is Vista or Windows 7. You can run the executable from there, and then navigate to the cat you wish to extract.
     
    It works on my Win7 machine, with the single remaning 08 game install

  11. Original readme file by Vernon
    Installation
    Note only tested on max9 but “should” work apparently on the earlier versions
    Before you run max
    Copy the script to your “3dSmax\scripts” directory
    Run max
    Go Menu > Maxscript > Run Script
    Navigate (if you need to) to the “3dSmax\scripts” Directory and select minmaxextents.mcr
    Nothing will happen ;-)
    Go menu > Customize > Customize user interface
    Under either the Keyboard OR the Toolbar Tab…
    Select Utilities from the Category Dropdown
    Assign the (hopefully visible) “Min Max Extents” script to either a keyboard shortcut or drag the icon up on to a toolbar
    Phew…
    Use
    With a model open, run the script and it will prompt you for a text file name to save the output to
    Once its finished it “should” open notepad for you to copy/paste the output into your data.ini
    Otherwise just open the saved file in any text editor for the same result

  12. Galera....... espero que possa ajudar na tradução do Lemissioner.......
     
    A instalação é bem simples pois é so colocar o aquivo Brasil.dll na pasta ..\Langues do "Le missioner" e carregar.......
     
    ====================================================================================================
     
    Adicionei umas imagens contendo um gráfico de uma rosa dos ventos com as coordenadas para facilitar a localização e a direção dos veículos durante o jogo, pois toda vez que ia fazer uma missão sempre meu avião iniciava sempre na direção errada... hehehehehe......
     
    Apesar de ter muita gente que somente faz download no forum e critica o nosso esforço dizendo que os arquivos não funcionam e nem ajudam com sugestões, e que na maioria da vezes não fazem um pequeno esforço de prestarem um pouco de atenção nas instruções e tentarem quebrar um pouco a cabeça pensando em como o WOI funciona, a gente ainda assim contribui com o forum..... desculpem a sinceridade mas obrigado pelo desabafo...
     
    Galera valeu...

    Galley. . . . . . . I hope can help in the translation of Lemissioner. . . . . . .
     
    The installation is very simple because it is only to place the aquivo Brazil. dll in the paste. . \Langues of the " he/she Reads missioner " and to carry
     
    I added some images containing a graph of a rose of the winds with the coordinates to facilitate the location and the direction of the vehicles during the game, because every time that will make a mission my airplane it always began always in the wrong direction. . . hehehehehe. . . . . .
     
    In spite of having a lot of people that only makes download in the forum and it criticizes our effort saying that the files do
    n't work and nor they help with suggestions, and that in most of the times don't make a small effort of they render some attention in the instructions and they try to break a little the head thinking in like WOI it works, we nevertheless contribute with the forum. . . . . excuse the honesty but thank you for the relief. . .
     
    thank you

  14. I had once planned to add some scrap-built models modified from other designers' works, in order to have the French jets present over Kuwait in 1991 flyable in the Operation Desert Storm mod, where I miss them badly. Having now given up for a while, and not planning to keep on the WIP in a close future, I deposit here some of the documentation I had gathered, and above all the historical booklet I had prepared by synthesizing several articles brightened up by chosen pictures. The main source is my packed translation of a set of "warm" articles, published in March 1991 in a fine French military magazine. I still hope that this work could encourage some modders to keep on the work about the Jaguar A and other concerned aircraft.
  15. As the title says, here are the historic pilot's notes for the Boultan-Paul Defiant. I uploaded the Spitfire IIa & IIb Pilot's notes much early [http://combatace.com/files/file/4938-historic-pilots-notes-for-spitfire-iia-iib/], and always meant to get around to hitting all the BoB aircraft. Looking forward to CoD... Enjoy!

  17. This is an MS excel spreadsheet and accompanying text file that covers Strike Fighters Project 1, Wings Over Vietnam, and Wings over Europe. It just lists the various campaigns, the squadrons that are in each campaign, what aircraft they fly at the time and finally if they upgrade aircraft during the campaign and if they move to another base. Thought this would be useful for most people so they can know what squadron flys an F-4B or the F-15A or the F-104A. There are also additional tabs for additional campaigns as they come along. If you would like to add your own campagin Squadron data to this please feel free to email me the data and I will add a tab for it in the spreadsheet.

  19. Hi folks, I've knocked up a Java program and an HTML doc which helps to illustrate the range of colours available with the game.
     
    The HTML doc contains pictures of the colour palette, displayed as a series of panels, with instructions on how to interpret the panels to get the colour you want when specifying RGB values in your LightSets etc.
     
    Hope you find this useful. I know I have (nice to see all the colours displayed in one place).
     
    Cheers, regards,
     
    P.T. :-)
