Installation of new guns,in SF2?

[AGOSTINO 5]

I have followed the KB for installation of new guns, but are unable to operate nothing!!!

 

I wanted to from the beginning:

 

I have installed a new aircraft "MB-339A", in the zip file of this aircraft, there is a folder "defa pod", within 4 files:

 

1) MB-339_DEFAGunPod.ini

2) MB-339_DEFAGunPod.LOD

3) defa pod.bmp

4) x weapondata

 

I have turned the x weapondata in:

 

[GunData001]

TypeName=DEFA30mm (MB339)

FullName=DEFA 30mm 553 Gunpod (MB339)

ModelName=MB-339_DEFAGunPod

Mass=360.000000

Diameter=0.600000

Length=4.000000

AttachmentType=ITALY,ARGENTINA

NationName=Italy

StartYear=1979

EndYear=2020

Availability=2

BaseQuantity=300

Exported=TRUE

ExportStartYear=1979

ExportEndYear=2020

ExportAvailability=2

WeaponDataType=3

GunTypeName=30MM_DEFA553

MaxRounds=125

MuzzlePosition=0.000000,2.040000,0.157000

LightPosition=0.000000,2.040000,0.157000

AimDirection=0.000000,1.000000,0.000000

EjectShells=0

 

 

....and I have saved it, with the name whatever.ini.

 

 

Downloaded and installed the SF2 Gun editor from here or Thirdwire,

 

start it up,

 

select my game when prompted, Then hit the Import/Merge button, then find and open up whatever.ini. This should add it to the list of guns.

 

Now hit Save!!!

 

In my C:\Users\AGOSTINO\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Guns\DEFA30mm (MB339) folder there are 2 files:

 

1) DEFA30mm (MB339).ini

2) DEFA30mm (MB339)_data.ini

 

Where should be the files:

 

MB-339_DEFAGunPod.LOD

defa pod.bmp

 

..........and after, what should I do??

MB-339_DEFAGunPod.LOD

defa pod.bmp

 

..........and after, what should I do??

 

The following files need to be in a folder named exactly as the Gunpod's weapondata entry. That folder, in turn, needs to be inside of C:\Users\AGOSTINO\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects\Weapons

 

1) MB-339_DEFAGunPod.ini

2) MB-339_DEFAGunPod.LOD

3) defa pod.bmp

oh flip - added a bit more to that

O.K. Thanks!!! I have done this, but the weapon do not shoots!!!

The confusion has arisen here because I have only put instructions down for adding an INTERNAL gun.

 

Right this is something that needs to be made clearer - a gunpod and its gun are 2 separate items

 

Add the Gunpods like normal weapons using the weapons editor.

 

 

Then as an example look at the xxx_data_ini entry for the gunpod:

 

[WeaponData001]

TypeName=upk-23-250

FullName=UPK-23 Gun Pod

ModelName=upk-23-250

Mass=350.000000

Diameter=0.330000

Length=3.078000

SubsonicDragCoeff=0.200000

SupersonicDragCoeff=0.770000

AttachmentType=WP,SOVIET

SpecificStationCode=

NationName=SOVIET

StartYear=1967

EndYear=2020

Availability=2

BaseQuantity=24

Exported=FALSE

ExportStartYear=0

ExportEndYear=0

ExportAvailability=0

WeaponDataType=3

GunTypeName=23MM_GSH23 <---------------- this is the name of the gun it uses

MaxRounds=250

 

 

 

Now use the guneditor to see if the above gun is in the list - if not the gun 23MM_GSH23 (for example) needs to be added using the Guneditor using the method in my guide.

I add the Gunpods like normal weapons using the weapons editor, and work fine!!!

 

The name of the gun it uses is "30MM_DEFA553", and it is not in the list of guneditor,is not in the Gundata.ini in the old objects folder in my old game (SFG), and is not in the jet, that I have downloaded, I do not have the data code for the gun!!

 

In the list of guneditor I have "30MM_DEFA541" and "30MM_DEFA552"!! :yes:
