Wrench Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 could you be a little more specific..... as in, "I'm not seeing them visually" or "the little buggers ain't showing up at all!!" Wrench kevin stein Quote

Wrench kevin stein Target box is there, but no target is visable, (Fuel Tank, ammo bunker, HeadQuarters building) Hope that helps Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Sounds like a .cat file problem. Open your "terrain".ini and see if it says CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<SFP1 based game or CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< WOE based game Quote
Wrench Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 That would have been my next questions....what's the cat pointer. If you start on the ground, you'd notice it immeadetely, as you wouldn't have an airfield around you! Lybia would require the desert.cat OR the use of alternate terrain tiles for WoV or WoE as well. With of course, the adjusted cat pointer that Sag mentions above. Which game are you using, that would help determine which stock terrain cat you'd need to point too....always helps to know for next time Wrench' kevin stein Quote

The GermanyCE.cat files (renamed respectivly) are in folders. I am playing the LibyaWarlord and Operation RedWolf campaigns. Quote
obuchonr Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 You don't have to rename them. Thank you for your info, however the problem remains in the Libya terrain. ???? Quote

Shashman Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I am playing the LibyaWarlord and Operation RedWolf campaigns. Sorry for going offtopic, but where can I get these campaigns? Quote
obuchonr Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 The Libya.ini Libya.ini file is ok. Hate to keep bugging you, can you make any other suggestions? (that I'm phyiscaly able of doing) Quote
Wrench Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 What exactly isn't working in Lybia???? no terrain? no targets?? Don't forget, Lybia will also need desert terrain tiles (since you can't use the desert.cat without SF) Can you take and post a screenshot of the problem??? I'd reccomend Deuces desert replacement tiles (they should be either here or at SFMods.com - his site). They're enhanced versions of the 'stock' tiles. And the water effects will need adding, too. That fix is here at CA. Just to let you know, Lybia is also one of the terrains wherein you'll find things sorta 'misplaced'....they'll be lots of building out in the Gulf of Sidra, along with various AAA and SAMs too (they like to swim!!) I'm not sure, have to check, but I know I did an upgrade in moving objects 'back' onto the coast or at least inland enough to be out of the water. This is for modern Lybia, not the WW2 stand-in I did a coupla years back. Wrench kevin stein Quote

I am attempting to upload a screen shot of the problem. Anyway I've tried all that you suggested with no resolution of problem,img00015.zip no target. It's that I hate not to be able to resolve a problem, not that it's going to kill me If I can't. Thanks again for your time obuchonr Irvine, Ca. Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 One last, what are your graphic settings set to? By the looks of your screenshot, your game settings are Easy? whats graphics at? Quote
Wrench Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Ok, I see what happening...this is definatley a cat pointer problem. Can you do a copy/paste of you Lybia ini, just the top sections like Sag posted?? Somewhere, it's a simple line that's not pointing to the GermanyCE.cat. that's all it can be, due to the lack of 'stock objects' showing up Wrench kevin stein btw, just to let everyone know, in what little spare time I have, I'm reworking the modern Lybia targets ini to straighten out the misplaced objects. Should have it ready in a few weeks.... Quote
