Couple of questions about Nieuports

Recommended Posts


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

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.

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.

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.

i sugest

 

[shadow]

CastShadow=TRUE

ShadowCastDist=8000

MaxVisibleDistance=75

 

so your computer don't work on shadow that you can't see
