Getting decals to work is kinda wierd, isn't it?

 

Agreed. Making a decals folder (in the objects folder) works like a charm but means that for most imports you have to move the decals from the skin folder to this decals folder.

Hey all. This is my first Third Wire game (mostly been with IL-2, but was really attracted to the modability of this game) and I'm having way more of a blast than I thought I would. However, I've added a few 3rd party planes into the Objects/Aircraft folder, and they work fine, except for the afterburner effects. They don't show at all (except for a few planes using what look like WoE or WoV afterburner effects). I'm totally missing something here, so could someone walk me through how they got the effects to show up? Thanks very much.

Hi Jush and welcome to CombatACE.

 

For the moment we can't add in any effects but for afterburners you can use stock afterburner effects by doing a simple edit to the data.ini of your add-on aircraft

 

open up the data.ini and find the engine(s) and, for example, alter the Afterburner lines to read;

 

AfterburnerNodeName=afterburner

AfterburnerEmitterName=F100AfterburnerEmitter

 

If it's a twin-enginned aeroplane then remember to do both engines! I think F4AfterburnerEmitter gives an alternative (I'm doing this from memory)

 

Anyway, it's a quick fix but will get you up and running!

Forgive me if this is very basic* but for add-ons that have no engine sound you need to edit the data.ini by finding the following section (found quite close to the top)

 

[sound]

EngineSoundName=JetEngine

AfterburnerSoundName=JetBurner

 

 

 

Under 45's will not get this

 

* For you see, I was that soldier...

still struggling with this does the object\decals folder go in the main game folder or save game folder. I take it you need to change the path for the decals in decals.ini

 

thanks

OK this might not be the best solution but it works (trust me I'm a doctor).

 

Create a Decals folder in your objects folder and put your decals in there (don't put a folder inside inside this folder - sprinkle them in :haha: )

 

My SF2 decals folder looks like this;

 

C:\Users\Spinners\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Decals

Then take out any file path references on your decal.ini by effectively pointing straight to the decal name

 

Example

 

[Decal001]

MeshName=fuselage_middle

DecalLevel=0

DecalFacing=LEFT

FilenameFormat=26RoundelBars

Position=-2.750,0.050

Rotation=0.0

Scale=2.6

DecalMaxLOD=3

 

Basically, the game engine will go straight to the Decals folder. What I like about doing things this way is that you've then got a nice collection of decals for modding and having fun with.

When I first added Su-20 in the

 

C:\Documents and Settings\"name"\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Aircraft

 

I have a flyable Su-20 and in the loadout screen I have for my strike choice: S-24 rocket and 500 kg. bombs.

 

But when I started mission I didn't get 3 dimension S-24 (just blank pylon :dntknw: ..)

 

Than I add S-24 from Weaponspack 2.52 but the S-24 has the wrong path (S24 not S-24) in .cat files and S-24 didn't show.

 

Than I get a trial with Bunyap's files from Weapons pack 03.07.2006: S24 image, S24 configuraton settings and S24_LOD002.LOD and S24.LOD and finaly all works fine!

 

Filles were added in the C:\Documents and Settings\"name"\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects

 

I have S-20 with 3D model S-24 rockets ready to go!

 

:good:

Sorry, but you can't add weapons pack (at the moment - this will change).

 

I didn't add Weapon pack.

 

I just added 3D objects for S-24.

Objects were from Bunyap WP 03.07.2006.

 

It is obvious (or likely) that SF2 have S-24 in the weapondata (i didnt search for it) but they don't have S-24 3D model for this rocket!

And you have only blank pylons..

 

Than I added just 4 files S24 from Bunyap WP (Objects folder) not the all WP.

 

And I now have this on the plane pylons:

 

-S-24 rockets (green ones)

-FAB 500

-tanks
