Illumination flares and colored smoke rockets prob

[dsawan 618]

Hi, been playing around with the new o-1 birddog and tried to do colored rocket flares to mark targets. i tried the lau-62 flare pod, 59 and 32 red,green yellow flare pods and the new illumination round found with the birddog by Diego. However, nothing illuminates and the colored rocket pods dont work. they fire but no red, green yellow etc. only effects installed on all three sf2's is the weapons pack for sf2 by killerbee and the new ca starry effects pak for sf2. i installed them like readme says. Anyone else havin probs or is therea fix to get them working? Thx.

Did u put the MISSILEOBJECT.ini from the weaps packs in the objects folder? If u didnt, then the effects wont show up, because thats where it gets the information for the effects to use.

Are you saying that the included O-1 weapons don't work? or other weapons that you are adding don't work?

 

If its other weapons, then you must add the info from the missileobject ini and add it to your weapons data ini. Do you have KB's new weapons pack? I'm almost 100% positive that they were updated. Minds kinda foggy.

The MissileObject.INI included is for reference Only. It is not used in SF2 Series of Titles. The "Ordnance Shop" was developed before the knowledge of how Effects would be handled by the new Series. I plan to Up-date the "Ordnance Shop" to include atleast the Weapon's Effect Classes. Use the old MissileObject.INI to include the Weapon's Effect Class to each Weapon's Data.INI. I'll use a Mk40 Hydra Mk67Mod1 2.75 FFAR as an Example. Between the dotted Lines is how a Weapon's Data.INI should look with the Effect Class added. Each "Custom" Effect is added this way. That's why the old MissileObject.INI plays an important part as a Reference.

The above, between the dotted Lines, is how each Weapon's Data.ini should look like if You are adding a "Custom" Effect to a Weapon. If the Effect is a "Default" Effect already being used in Game, The Effect Class is not nessary.

 

Be sure You have the "Custom" Effect in Your "Effects" Folder with all .INI's and .Tga's with it.

 

If using a "Custom Sound", be sure You've added the .Wav File to Your "Sounds" Folder and Edit Your SoundsList.INI to reflect Your "Custom Sound" and place it in Your "Flight" Folder for the Sound to work.

 

 

GUNs and their Data.INI's are handled in the same fashion. (The same Way)

 

 

**** THIS FORMAT IS FOR SF2 ONLY ********

dsawan,

 

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. But the MISSILEOBJECT.INI is not used to Mod in SF2. By adding the Lines ABOVE to the end of the WeaponsData.INI You want to add an EffectsClass to will solve Your Problem. Re-read My post carfully and it should become clear to You.
