Spinners Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 View File [Fictional] Dassault Mirage IIIC - Irish Air Corps Dassault Mirage IIICI 'Irelande' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Mirage IIIC to give a fictional Irish Air Corps Mirage IIICI with equally fictitious markings for No.1 'Black Velvet' squadron. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Mirage3CI folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Mirage3CI folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

dsawan Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Hi, major proble. i did like readme said. When I start it. The plane does not have an exterior. Just the cockpit. Do we need to extract the lods as well? I thoguht this was the stock mirage> Any help apprec. thx. Quote
Spinners Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) It looks like you haven't got the LOD's in your install (I'm running all four titles merged) - not much I can do about that. Edit - Yep, it's the stock Mirage IIIC; [LOD001] Filename=Mirage_III_C.LOD Distance=100 [LOD002] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD2.LOD Distance=250 [LOD003] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD3.LOD Distance=500 [LOD004] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD4.LOD Distance=1000 [LOD005] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD5.LOD Distance=10000 Edited July 19, 2010 by Spinners Quote
dsawan Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Hi, I installed your Dhimari mirage and it works perfect. But it uses cj lods. i guess ill have to use cat extracor and put the lods in to the plane folder. i assume you use sf2 lods not sf1. Better yet can you tell me which object cat to extract in the thirdwie sf2 main folder? I too have a merged install with the expansion 1 in there. Edited July 19, 2010 by dsawan Quote
dsawan Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Hi, I checked my catalog files and noticed object5.dll is missing in objects folder from the main thridwire fldr. i wonder if the mirage files were there. I used the thirdwire 4 in one bundle I bought some time ago. i;ll check the cd and see or do another install. Quote
Spinners Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 You really shouldn't need to extract anything and don't worry about Object5.dll (or whatever it's called - i'm at work right now) it's the legendary missing file where TK's 'black' projects are kept. You mention a CD but I thought that everything SF2 was download only???? Quote
dsawan Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Hi, i make mistake. it is electronic download but its the all 4 in one bundle. Did not know of object 5.dll being missing on purpose. i dont know how else to fix this then if this is the case. Are you sure about the missing obkject 5.dll? I never heard of that. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 ObjectData005.cat does NOT exist ... it hasn't since the very beginning. You don't NEED the aircraft lods in the aircraft's folder. The main ini will take care if, doing the ever famous cat-reach-around and pull them from whereever they're hiding. The SF2E Mirage IIIC is in 009 The SF2I Mirage IIICJ (aka Shahak and Shahak_71) are in are in 012 Your main ini should look just like the stock SF2E's MirIIIC: [LOD001] Filename=Mirage_III_C.LOD Distance=100 [LOD002] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD2.LOD Distance=250 [LOD003] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD3.LOD Distance=500 [LOD004] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD4.LOD Distance=1000 [LOD005] Filename=Mirage_III_C_LOD5.LOD Distance=10000 How do you think we got all the different Hunters to work in the Suez Update??? wrench kevin stein Quote
dsawan Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 hi, just checked the 009.dll and the mirage 3c lods are not there. i saw the cj in 0012 though. So i will do a seaparate install to get the files. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Something else forgotten with this mod ... Ireland dosen't exist in the nations ini, so that may cause a problem. The Nation/Air Force selection drop down on the SingleMission screen will be blank. So, one might want to extract the Nations.ini from the MissionData001.cat, place it into the /Flight folder -create one if necessary, and add this to the bottom, where *** is the next number in sequence. [Nation***] Name=IAC DisplayName=Irish Air Corp Alignment=FRIENDLY PilotNameList=NamesBritish.lst RankList=RanksRAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=USFighter Formation.Attack=USFighter Formation.Bomber=USBomber Formation.Transport=USBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str Medals=MedalsRAF.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsRAF.str with apologies to our Irish friends for using RAF names/ranks/medals ... there's no "NamesIrish.lst", although one could be created quite easily I also shorted up the file pathway in the decals ini tremendously by renaming the skin folder "IAC" ... it was just too long. Love the Harp!!! Nice touch, that! wrench kevin stein Quote
Spinners Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Something else forgotten with this mod What was the first/other thing(s) forgotten?? Quote
+Wrench Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 shoot... I don't remember!!! Just the nation, I think!! Now, we just need to talk Piecemmeal into writing the IrishName.lst!!! wrench kevin stein Quote
Spinners Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Quite topically, I've just booked a weeks holiday on the Emerald Isle for mid-August. I'm sure knocking this 'what if' up steered me to book there:rofl: . Must try Brazil next... I Quote
