+peter01 2 Posted October 25, 2007 ahhh, thanks christian for pointing this out. they are the same. I did a Rar compression of the data.ini, then decided to do a zip instead, but then zipped up both the the Rar archive and the data.ini in the one zip i posted!!! if that makes sense its been a long week....consider it a bonus! just use the data.ini in zip file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+EmlD 3 Posted October 25, 2007 Good evening chaps! Today i modeled own Lewis gun, so i can put it into a *.lod if needed. Waiting for new FM from peter01, and decision about different armament. EmlD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+TexMurphy 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Great to see the progress on the N´s!!! Im really glad that they get done. Just a FYI. Im working on a program that allows the creation of install packages based on individual mods hosted here on CA. I will be using the N´s as my proff of concept. Once you are done with the Expansion verisons I will make a "Nieuport Install Package" that contains all the N´s and all the skins. Well "contains" is not the right word as references is a better word. The install package is just a set of link that points out what should be installed and how. So no double sources to maintain. But from the users perspective its a package that gets downloaded and installed. Tex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alligator Devil Posted October 26, 2007 Nice one EmlD !! Keep up the good work ! All the Nieuports are some of the best addon planes out there. About the install packages, i think a good example of how the things must be done is the old FS-WW1 package. It was easy to install, even for dumb people, and all the info about the authors was at the right side of each plane screenshot. I know this was another topic, but i think install packages are good for newbies or people that usually don't mess with game configurations and only want to fly and shoot some planes. There are many things to install - in fact i have replaced most of the stock game: SKY MOD - A must have WW2 EFFECTS PACK - A must have SOUND MOD - A must have TERRAINS - I have two sets for Verdum: Max Hi Res Spring and Winter (i use Spring for one of the stocks campaigns and Winter for the other - some changes are needed on the ini files to have the two sets working) SKINS - I have replaced all the ugly stock skins FMS - Peter01 Fms are a must have - That's my squadron of aces. Etc,Etc.... Many things to install for the newbies, probably they will be lost between the big amount of files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+christian59 8 Posted November 1, 2007 great with shadows i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+p10ppy 2 Posted November 1, 2007 not sure... but i don't think there is a "shadow" lod for pits... besides the person with the original max file would have to make it...if it were possible??? i asked about something similar a while ago and TK said paint it darker http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4326 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alligator Devil Posted November 1, 2007 Poppy is right, the only shadows in this pic are the painted ones. Shadows are painted, this is an screenshot of an unpatched FE (no exp. pack). But the new engine supports shadows in the pits (pixel shaders - they kill my frame rate) To enable the new shadows just change the shadow lines in the INI file for something like that: [shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=10000 MaxVisibleDistance=800 They look incredible, very cool, i think is the only game that supports "real" shadows in the pits, but i think you must have a super computer to play with shadows enabled. I had to turn them off or the game became a slideshow in my old P.IV 2Ghz with Geforce FX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+christian59 8 Posted November 1, 2007 i sugest [shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=8000 MaxVisibleDistance=75 so your computer don't work on shadow that you can't see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+christian59 8 Posted November 1, 2007 i think even lower so you have shadow in your cockpit and not on the auther plane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
