Geary Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Hi all, Is there a standardized WWII Nations.ini file? I've seen references to one and I've searched this and other sites with SF WWII items but can't seem to find one. Thanks, Quote
+Wrench Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) actully, you take the original 3W Nations ini, and add the WW2 nations to it... But you also need the WW2 formations ini, as several of the Axis nations use specific layout. That should be in the SF/Wo* downloads section somewhere ... but I diremember exactly where the nations to add are, where *** is the next number in sequence [Nation***] Name=Japanese Empire DisplayName=Imperial Japanese Air Force Alignment=ENEMY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesJapanese.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=WW2GerFighter Formation.Attack=WW2GerAttack Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber Formation.Transport=SovietBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsJPN.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsJPN.str [Nation***] Name=Nazi Germany DisplayName=Luftwaffe Alignment=ENEMY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesGerman.lst RankList=RanksGAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=WW2GerFighter Formation.Attack=WW2GerAttack Formation.Bomber=WW2GerBomber Formation.Transport=WW2GerBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=GOOD GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsNG.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsNG.str [Nation***] Name=WWII Soviet DisplayName=Soviet Air Force Alignment=FRIENDLY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesRussian.lst RankList=RanksRussian.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=SovietFighter Formation.Attack=SovietFighter Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber Formation.Transport=SovietBomber Formation.Tank=SovietTank Formation.MobileAD=SovietAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsSov.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsSov.str [Nation***] Name=WWII Italy DisplayName=Regia Aeronautica Alignment=ENEMY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesItalian.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=WW2AxisFighter Formation.Attack=WW2AxisFighter Formation.Bomber=WW2AxisBomber Formation.Transport=AxisBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsItal.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsItal.str [Nation***] Name=Vichy France DisplayName=Vichy French Armee De L'Air Alignment=Enemy PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesFrench.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=WW2AxisFighter Formation.Attack=WW2AxisFighter Formation.Bomber=WW2AxisBomber Formation.Transport=AxisBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsFr.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsFr.str [Nation***] Name=WWII_China DisplayName=Chinese Air Force Alignment=FRIENDLY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesChineseWG.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=USFighter Formation.Attack=USFighter Formation.Bomber=USBomber Formation.Transport=USBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsROC.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsROC.str [Nation***] Name=AVG DisplayName=American Volenteer Group Alignment=FRIENDLY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesUS.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=WW2USFighter Formation.Attack=WW2USMedBomber Formation.Bomber=WW2USBomber Formation.Transport=WW2USMedBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsROC.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsROC.str you'll also want to change the DisplayName for USAF to United States Army Air Force and remember ... 06 patch levels are STILL reccomended .. as all flight models will be f***ed with 08 and SF2. Unless said FM have been rebuilt for 08 and SF2 (only one mod that I'm aware of .. DAT's WoR) Also, ALL terrains will need some editating for shaders/effects if used in Vista/Win7 based installs --expecially in SF2 wrench kevin stein Edited July 28, 2010 by Wrench Quote
Geary Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 Thanks Wrench, I've struggled a good part of the day to get a workable WWII install. When I got one thing working, something else stopped. Usually the weapons. Weapons have caused me more trouble than anything else so far in these sims. Been trying to set up Batlik's BoB campaign with Gepard's BoB Terrain. No luck. Was getting CTD's when exiting single missions. Also tried your update of Edward's WWIIEuro. You guys make it sound easy in your installaton instructions, at least what I understand. Didn't get it to work, either. Wonder if it's my Windows 7 Ultimate that's causing problems? Thanks for the tip on the '06 update. Any other tips for setting up WWII installs would be greatly appreciated. Looks like lots of great WWII planes and campaigns. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I've got no realy problems with my WW2 installs in Win7 Ultimate 64 ... just make sure you do NOT install to any /Progarms or ProgramFilex (x86) folders, but to the root of C: C:/Wings Over Europe_SWOTL (for my ETO install) as for the CTDs on mission exit, it's due to the terrain shaders, and shouldbe covered in both the regular Knowledge Base, in the WW2 KB above. Basically, you need to turn them off. Open the terrain's data ini (we'll use the WW2_Euro for the example ... which is very old and even I can't fix what's wrong with it, effects/height field-wise for 08 and SF2-and even in 06 levels...) scroll down and look for lines like this, there should be 3 callouts like this: [NormalTextureMaterial] UseEffectShader=TRUE <---this is the issue EffectShaderName=TerrainEffect.fx change all UseEffectShader= to FALSE. That'll stop the mission exit CTDs. If we ever get 08 FM, we can turn them back on As for weapons, there's a specaility WW2, 06 level weapons pak in the downloads section. wrench kevin stein Quote
