Object Mods

Object Library 1 by Polak & CFS2 Midway Group 11/30/2013
 
This is the collection, once posted at SimHQ of various and sundry buildings for use by
terrain builders to add a to the target areas when building terrains. It is being
reposted here at CA by request. Originally, it was NOT supposed to be posted elsewhere
(than the original a SHQ), but as so much time has passed ... my judgement call is
sharing is allowed.
 
Thses objects will work perfectly in ANY of the 3W series: SF/Wo* 1stGens, SF2, and
FE/FE2.
This has been tested by me, over the years in ALL versions of the game.
 
While more designed with WW2 Pacific (including CBI) in mind, they can be used even
Europe and North Africa/Med. Well, pretty much anywhere that catches your fancy.
Even unto Modern Times ™.
 
Included, of course, are Polak's original readme, and the config files: a Desert_targets
and Desert_types inis that lists the various objects for importation to other terrains.
 
I've gone through all the skin tgas, and have painted out the odd green color, so they
should look a bit better. However, that does NOT fix certain visual issues with some of
the models from close up and at some angles. Also, there are a couple of them that
simply do NOT work at all; they will cause CTDs or other game issues. Unfortunately, I
don't remember exactly WHICH ones they are.
 
Be adivsed: the _types listing is AS RELEASED in 2007 and/or 2009 (I think I made some
changes back then). It does NOT reflect those change I do when adding them to my terrain
works. This means the destroyed models, destroyed effects and secondary effects listed
are NOT proper and correct. YOU will need to make the adjustments (or locate the object
in the multitude of types inis from MY terrain mods, and copy/paste!)
 
This is =NOT= a package of objects that can be used by the 'general masses'. It is being
rereleased for those terraformers that can actually make use of them.
 
As always READ Polak's readme, enclosed in the 'readme_and_configuration files' folder.
 
Happy Targeting!!

Hi!!! I felt tired of the "HUD" information, so I modified the HUDDATA.ini, and I'm sharing it with you guys!
 
The attached photos speak for themselves. I only left the enemy red box, the red cone that marks it's direction, and the yellow diamond for radar acquisition. If you want, you can modify it to suit your needs. Just unzip, and move it to your mods folder, to the Flight directory. If you don't have one, create it. Doubts? Just PM!!!I hope you like it!!!

SF2 WW2 Pilot Figures Pack 9/13/2013
 
-- Something for Everyone --
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
*Note: these pilot figure may also work in 1stGen SF/Wo*. Be advised, that at pre-08 levels,
folderized pilots won't work. YOu'll have to seperate the all out, like as was done in the Distant
Past at 06 level*
 
This is a compliation of pretty much ALL the WW2 Pilot figures available for use in the various
aircraft mods now available (and by inference), and those to come.
It is a comglomeration of work dating back nearly to the very beginnings of SF modding. The names
of some of the contributors are Lost to History, but we thank them all. For those that I could
remember, see "Credits" section below.
 
This pack contains some 28+ pilot and crew figures, included the "FakePilot". This is JUST
pilot/crew figures. Those "devices" that use the FakePilot method for adding radar pods, or pylons
are NOT included. Aircraft Seats are also NOT included.
See the enclosed "pilots in this pack.jpg" for the listing.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 Lavochkin La-9 FM Tweeks Pak 8/21/2013
 
= For SF2 (Any/All; Full5 Merged Reccomended!)
 
**This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs**
 
This pak contains a new _data.ini for the recently re-released La-9 packakage by PauloPanz.
 
It incorporates a new FM, much closer to SF2 standards, that will prevent the aircraft from 'mushing' into the ground on AI controled wingmates. See "Notes" for (mostly) coherent Change List
 
 
Good Hunting!

ps: wilches prop fix has already been applied to this data ini

Dear simmers
This files are made to fix the Bunyap´s great Lavochkin La-9/11 wich´s lacking the static prop. To install place the DATA.INI files inside the respective plane. The SLOWPROP.TGA goes to every skin folder replacing the older one. Now the Lavs got props when parked and start engine! Hope you guys like it.
It´s a freeware, so you can use freely wich means that you don´t need to ask any kind of permission to post, change or anything else.
Claudio Wilches - August 2013

This mod adds ini-updated SA-7 MANPADS and several new variants :
 
SA-7 "Grail" - GRAU 9K32 Strela-2
SA-7b "Grail" - GRAU 9K32M Strela-2M
SA-14 "Gremlin" - GRAU 9K34 Strela-3
SA-16 "Gimlet" - GRAU 9K310 Igla-1
SA-18 "Grouse" - GRAU 9K38 Igla
Sa-24 "Grinch" - GRAU 9K338 Igla-S
 
Set up as GroundObjectRole=Mobile_AAA, they can show up on existing AAA positions
and during Tank Battles (in campaigns only I think)

This is a complete package of SAMs used by the United States Navy from the early cold war era to present. Currently 33 different missiles are included.
I have meticulously researched, modified, tested and compiled these weapons so that I and other ship modders have a selection of realistic standardized missiles (one might say "Standard Missiles":D) to work with.
 
The medium and long range missiles have been assigned updated efects from SF2NA, as well as new sound effects (included in the package), which sound much more appropriate than the default sound. I'm particularly proud of the VLS launch effect, which I made by ripping and editing official footage; I think it adds to the immersion tremendously.
 
Note that two stock weapons, the RIM-2F and RIM-66B, are replaced by this package. I usually try to avoid this, but the RIM-2F model did not sit on launchers correctly, and both weapons had some wildly incorrect data.
 
Optional data files for a few stock and third-party USN ships are included which adds new weapons as appropriate and adjusts radar strength to more realistic levels.
 
Please see the readme for instructions, credits, and other details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

This is a package of 18 ground objects for the Japan Ground Self Defense Force, representing many of the significant combat vehicles from the 1970s to present. Four additional non-Japanese variants are included as a bonus, for a total of 22 distinct ground objects. All-new guns and missiles are included.
 
Note that these are all new models and not stand-ins or re-skins of existing ones. While they are relatively low-poly and low-res, if there is sufficient demand, I will update these models with more detail and improved textures at some point in the future.
 
 
Featured JGSDF vehicles include:
Type 74 MBT: Cold war era tank armed with a 105mm L7 gun
Type 90 MBT: Modern tank equipped with a 120mm gun, composite armor and advanced electronics
Type 87 Recon: Modern 6-wheeled armored recon vehicle with excellent sensors and a rapid-fire 25mm gun
Type 89 IFV: Modern armored infantry fighting vehicle with a 35mm autocannon and anti-tank missiles
Type 73 APC: Cold war era tracked APC
Type 96 APC A: Modern 8-wheeled APC (automatic grenade launcher)
Type 96 APC B: Modern 8-wheeled APC (heavy machine gun)
Type 87 AAA: Mobile anti-aircraft vehicle with twin 35mm guns
Type 93 SAM: Mobile short-range SAM
Type 75 MRL: Cold war era 130mm rocket launcher
Type 75 SPA: Cold war era 155mm mobile howitzer
Type 99 SPA: Modern 155mm mobile howitzer
Type 96 MPMS: Truck-mounted multi-purpose missile system designed to defeat tanks and landing craft
M110 SPA: License-built version of cold war era 203mm howitzer
M270J MLRS: License-built version of the US 227mm rocket launcher
L-90 AAA: License-built variant of the Swiss 35mm towed AAA system
Komatsu LAV: Modern light armored truck
Komatsu LAV-AT: LAV equipped with anti-tank missile launcher

International vehicles include:
GDF-001: Popular Swiss 35mm towed AAA system; used by many countries
GDF-002: Upgraded 35mm towed AAA system; used by many countries
M270 MLRS: US 227mm rocket launcher
M270A1 GMLRS: US 227mm GPS-guided rocket launcher

Two texture sets, default camo and green, are included for each vehicle. (US MLRS are Green and Tan instead.)
 
Additional vehicle packs for the JGSDF, ROK, and PLA may follow if this mod is well-received. (Don't worry, I'll still keep on making ships.)
 
These ground objects are recommended for use with Wrench's latest Korea terrain, as well as Kamchatka and other East-Asian theaters. Please see the readme for full details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this package, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

India-Pakistan GroundOjbects/Weapons/Guns/Pilots Pak


 
 

-For SF2, Full-4 Merged -Reccomended (plus ExpPak1)



(Should actually be called "Objects, Other Than Aircraft Pack")


 
This is the Second Part of the India-Pakistan mod. This package =ONLY= contains GroundObjects, Weapons & Guns, Menu Screens. Aircraft will be available as seperate, packaged downloads as soon as we get them together!
 
These weapons and Ground Objects are NOT to be used altogether in a 'everything and anything Merged Install -- it is for a Stand-Alone India-Pakistan Mods folder ONLY!!!
Those experienced End Users ™, will be able to pick and choose the various items necessary, if crazy enough to use these in such an install. There are many (read: MOST) items that have been nationalized to either side. It is NOT reccomended for any use, other than what is it intended for!! You've been warned -- if you mess it up, it's all on YOU!!
 
These items are designed for use with/as a stand-alone India-Pak Mods Folder. Instructions for creating a seperate I/P install are in the Word Doc that comes with this pak, and are covered in the CombatAce SF2 Series Knowledge Base.
 
It is ALSO highly reccomended you READ these 2 documents through before installing this mod. If you don't, you're SURE to run into problems. And then, we'll clown on you. Hard
 
Good Hunting!

Destroyed Models Pak for SF2 WW2 Installs
 
This package is for use in creating the 'Destroyed Crashed & Burning Wreck' ™ for add-on aircraft in SF2 based WW2 installs.
 
These bits have been culled from the various terrain mods as these contained static parked aircraft with their associated destroyed lods. THESE are those destroyed lods!!, with repainted skins to make them look a bit more burned up/toasted. This will allow you to add them and have the burning wrecks on the ground ala the later model jets and so forth as seen in SF2 installs (and FE2 as well).
 
As always, fully detailed (and illustrated!!) install instructions are included. As well as a highly detailed "Notes" section, elaborating on the procedure, and giving alternates as you =WILL= probably be using several stock destroyed models as well in the data ini edits, as some of the larger aircraft will require reuse of the stock wrecks.
 
=PLEASE= read this document throughly before installing -- that will help you in making correct choices on what to use.
 
This pak is for free usage; any and all are welcome to it. Let's enhance our SF2 WW2 Experience!!

These ground objects were simply converted to LOD format from models kindly shared by Julhelm from Combatace. All credit goes to him.
 
12/30/2010
(Fixed J_16OpenSilos)

Models by Julhelm
Conversion by Pureblue
 
 
1. Insert the various groundobject entries from xxx_types.ini to your modded terrain_types.ini.
 
2. Copy over the Diffuse.tga, *.LOD and *.INI files to your terrain folder.
 
3. Create corresponding target objects in terrain_targets.ini

SA-8/8B "Gekko" SAM, Static Versions
-- For SF2, Any and All with Access to the original SA-8/8B Mobile SAMs --
 
As per some discussion in the Forums, this mod adds 2 new SA-8 (both the standard and -8B) as 'Mobile_AAA', thereby allowing them to appear as 'fixed' air defense units around airbases, ports, factories, and other usual suspects.
 
As being two new objects, these will NOT interfere with the 'stock' ones, that come out and play as escorts during Armed Recon missions. Simply put, this adds another level of close-in/short range Air Defense for the Red Side.
It uses all stock items (read: standard, 3W missiles). NO LODS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE -- so, you'll probably need at LEAST SF2:E; AFAIK, that's where they first appeared. Of course, a Full-4 Merged Install should have access to the lods.
 
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
 
This mod was tested in a Full-4 Merged SF2 install, and SF2:E. Your mileage (and PK) may vary.
 
Duck & Cover!!

New "Undead Infantry Horde"
 
= For SF2 (Any and All) and SF/Wo* =
 
A Horrific New Enemy ™ for the 3rdWire series; just in time for Halloween!! A Just-For-Fun Mod, for folks with twisted imaginations!
 
Modifications/repaints and ini tweeks to Kesselbrut's Infanty squad now create Legions of the Walking Dead.
 
A new sound file is included, along with instructions on editing the Soundlist.ini to add it.
 
Included is a CAS mission on the Desert terrain, so you see how they work. Within that mission, are 6 escaping enemy transport aircraft. As they may be carring infected survivors, they cannot be allowed to escape!! Watchout for enemy air defenses as well! (NOT Zombie-crewed)
 
As always, fairly simple easy to follow install instructions are included, so give them a read!
Should be usable in SF/Wo*, but this is untested. There should be no reason why not...
 
Duck, Cover and Cower ... they're coming for your brains...
 
Enjoy!

SF2 WW2 SDKFZ-251 Half-Track Mod
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO/Eastern Front players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
This pack contains a modification of Geo's German Army Sdkfz-251 "Hanomag" Half-Track. Even though the full vehicle is here (and an extra 'snow camo' skin, still zipped), it's mostly an ini tweek.
What I've done is change it's GroundObjectRole= from TANK to TRANSPORT. This will allow the Game Engine ™ to use them in ARMED_RECON missions.
 
But beware...
It'll bite back!!!
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them FIRST!!!

US M-1 120mm AAA Gun
- For SF2, Any and All -
 
Simple modifications (read: ini edits) create the 1940s-mid 1950s 120mm radar directed US Auntie-Aircraft gun.
 
Based on Pasko's KS-30 130mm, as this is the closest shape available. (unless a 3d guy builds a more accurate one). A new 120mm gun is included. As this gun was radar directed, I took a little poetic liscence, and 'built in' the search/track radar to the data ini itself (ala the ZSU-23 and M-51 Skysweeper).
 
Simple easy to follow instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
 
Happy Hunting!

Yellow US Fuel Truck
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All!) =
 
A simple repaint of the stock OD US Fuel truck into a more 'easily' seen and sometimes period correct bright Yellow color. As used by the USAF through the 1950s and 60s; later models did seem to revert to OD and/or Theartre Camo patterns. To that end, the PSD templates are supplied (they're 1024x, so easy to work with) to allow other skinners the opportunity to create other skins.
 
Designed as a 'stand alone' vehicle, the skin can also be added to the existing (US) FuelTruck (NOT the Zil for Red Side!!) and hopefully, the Game Engine ™ will randomly select it for use in/on the various terrains.
The inis supplied herein are in ANSI format, allowing for use in both 1stGen SF/Wo* and SF2 series.
 
See the 'To Install' section below for more notes, and how to add to Terrains as a seperate item via _types and _targets editing.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! This is a perfect addition for use alongside BadFrank's Yellow and Red "Follow Me" jeeps! They'll all add a little color to an otherwise drab setting.
 
Happy Gassing!

More Airbase Goodies
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All -hopefully*!) =
 
A few more pieces of equipment, to place around airfields or bases, or other 'locations of interest'. The items are:
 
Bulldozer (-original creator unknown, as it comes from waay back on the WW2 terrains)
Road Grader
Steamroller (these 2 by Sundowner)
 
It should be noted at this time, these are NOT GroundObjects, like the yellow fuel truck recently released, but TERRAIN objects, that will need hand placement on your terrain of choice. Instructions are below in the "To Add To A Terrain" section.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow (for Terraformers/Targeteers), yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
 
*note: as the grader and roller have been built in late model MAX, they may not work in SF/Wo* games. This has NOT been tested*
 
With special thanks to Sundowner!!
