Is there a standardized WWII Nartion.ini file?

[+Geary 1,889]

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,

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

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

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.

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.
