Burning sands 1983 for woe

[koushiro]

ok today i tried an experiment

i have Strike Fighters project 1

and i also have WOE.

 

Now i transfered the desert terrian to WOE's terrian folder.

and loaded Burning Sands 1983 on my copy of WOE

everything works . until i want to begin my game on the

the deck.

but theres no carrier.

 

Now i do know how to make Carriers work

doing it on some many different campaigns.

 

but i cannot go into the terrian ini in the desert terrain

 

it says Desert security catalog.

 

what do i do?

 

does this only work on SFP1???

Hmmm,

 

You should be able to get it to work. The answer is to make sure you have the correct carriers installed in WoE.

 

IIRC, SFP1 does not have any carriers installed as stock. So, look in the /Object/Groundobject folder in SFP1 to see what carriers are there. Carriers will have been added by the Burning Sands 1983 campaign d/l.

 

Copy the carrier folder from your SFP1 install to yur WoE install. (Object/Groundobject folder in each case).

 

Then see if carriers show up.

Ok i have them all installed

that about 3 carriers and 2 they require

but it still doesn't show up?

 

is there something wrong with the terrian?

or something else.

I've even tried the update the maker doesn't respond to his creation.

so i hope someone else out there tried what i did.

 

or is there a way to extract the security file in the desert terrian?

Have you pulled the desert_targets ini and desert_types inis from the Desert.cat, and added the ships??? Obviously, with them sitting in their assigned stations off the coast (meaning- at the carrier stations defined in the targets ini), they probably won't appear.

Also, they'll need adding to the types ini. Just like any other terrain object

 

The tool you need is the Cat Extractor tool, available in our downloads section -since 2004!!!.

I'm absolutely amazed to don't already have it. It's the single most usefull thing EVER created for this game series.

Desert terrain works fine in WOE for me BUT.........

I have both SFP1 and SFG.

When I added the Desert terrain from one, It wouldnt show the carrier. So I switched it out with the terrain

from the other and the carriers started working. Sorry I cant remember wich one I'm using now but I thought it was the one from SFP1.

They were both patched up to the same level so I cant see that there would be any difference in them but

that was the only change I made and the carriers started working.

 

Do you have SF patched to the same level as WOE??

 

Also "Desert_Targets.ini" is the file I always worked with to get the carriers to working. I looked and couldnt find a

"Terrain.ini" even when I looked in the "Desert.Cat" file.

You know what i'm stupid

 

let me tell you why

because the old saying 3rd times a charm

 

rings really true.

 

I downloaded the tileset named PolaksPRDesert2.zip

so i added it to the desert terrain fron SFP1.

 

made the desert look very cool.

and i thought "eh might as well have fun even if i can't take off and land.

 

so at the very end of mission i hit Alt N

and flew to the area where i'm suppose to land.

 

to my suprise in the distance the very damn thing i was looking for

popped.

 

 

 

THE STINKING CARRIER SHOWED UP AFTER I LOADED THE TILE SET.

 

AFTER MY WIFE LAUGHED AT ME AND CALLED BAKA (Japanese for dumb,stupid, you get the point).

so problem solved.

i finally figured out my own remedy so case closed

 

thank you everybody.

 

sometimes its true.

if you don't play around with it you won't figure out the problem

[+Baltika]

Glad you got it sorted

 

Nice pic, BTW.

 

We had this in the UK in the late 70's:

 

 

Battle of the Planets? I think the original was called Gatchaman?

 

Anyway, does it for me :yes:
