SF2 Weapon Layout

[+suhsjake 11]

All weapons folders go into:

 

Vista: C:\Users\(USER NAME)\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Weapons

XP: C:\My Documents\(USER NAME)\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Weapons

 

File Structure Example

 

R-60MK (Main Folder)

R-60MK.ini

AA-8B_DATA.ini

AA-8B.bmp

AA-8M.LOD

AA-8M_LOD002.LOD

 

NOTES

 

*The folder name must be the same as the basic ini file (example: R-60MK and R-60MK.ini)

 

What is in the Main .ini?

 

[WeaponData]
ObjectFullName=BASIC WEAPON NAME
ObjectDataFile=WEAPONDATAFILE_data.ini

[LOD001]
Filename=LODNAME.LOD
Distance=250

[LOD002]
Filename=LODNAME_002.LOD
Distance=1000

[Shadow]
CastShadow=TRUE
ShadowCastDist=2000
MaxVisibleDistance=100

[TextureSet001]
Specular=0.500000
Glossiness=0.400000
Reflection=0.400000

 

Example

 

[WeaponData]
ObjectFullName=R-60MK Aphid
ObjectDataFile=AA-8B_data.ini

[LOD001]
Filename=AA-8M.lod
Distance=250

[LOD002]
Filename=AA-8M_Lod002.lod
Distance=1250

[Shadow]
CastShadow=TRUE
ShadowCastDist=2000
MaxVisibleDistance=100

[TextureSet001]
Specular=0.500000
Glossiness=0.400000
Reflection=0.400000

 

NOTES

 

*You can have more than two lods in a weapon

*You can adjust the distance to what ever your computer can handle

*You can adjust the shadow to what ever your computer can handle

*TextureSet001 adjusts the lighting on the weapon just the same way as an aircraft

 

What is in the _data.ini?

 

[WeaponData001]
TypeName=AA-8B
FullName=R-60MK Aphid-B
ModelName=aa-8m
Mass=...
So on and so forth

NOTES

 

*Unfortunately, you can not add more than one weapon to the _Data.ini.

*If you wanted to, you must make a separate folder with its own contents

 

Final Notes

*Needs XP folder setup (PM me or Edit if Admin)

BTW, TK says use the "Type Name" when labeling the Folders. Not the .LOD Names as been done before....
