liamp51 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Hi all, I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to install maps in SF2:I. I really want the formosa map by Gepard but still can't figure out how to install them. I have checked the KB many times and am still stumped. Thanks, liamp51 PS: Sorry for all the questions. Quote
EricJ Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 No worries. In your User/Thirdwire/SF2 Install directory, create a "Terrains" folder in that main SF2 directory, and plop the terrain in there. Then it'll show up. Quote
liamp51 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Posted September 5, 2010 So make the folder in this directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Liam\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Israel Thanks! liamp51 Quote
liamp51 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Posted September 5, 2010 Thanks so much guys! The Fermosa Map works great except for one thing...my airfields and taxiways are all white. Not a big deal but just wondering if it can be fixed. Thanks! liamp51 Quote
MigBuster Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 At a guess - I would say it needs objects that SF2I doesnt come with. What gamne was that terrain made for? Quote
Wrench Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 As is stated in 98.6% of ALL my terrain readmes, they're designed for the Desert, GermanyCE or VietnamSEA cats. The ONLY terrain that you can use the IsraelME cat for, are terrains that are ONLY using IsrealME naming conventions. They are different (tile wise, and a lot of other smaller items are just plane missing -- like the desert airfields, their lods, bmps, tgas and inis), and the airfield are completly different. Let me repeat that::: you do NOT use the IsrealME.cat for ANY terrain mod that was build with the desert or WoV/WoI/WoE terrain editors. You ONLY use the IsrealME.cat for terrains built FOR IsrealME (Gepards Afghanistan uses IME tiles, and iirc, naming conventions) So, again: NEVER use the IME.cat for any add-on terrains. It just don't work. btw, Gepards' Formosa is designed for use with the GermanyCE cat. One could go through the types and targets inis, adding the ncesssary Isreal***airfields (lods, inis, tgas and bmps). BUT....Unless you fully understand terrain targets and types inis, use one of the Original 3 Terrains . If you DON'T have the originals (from SF2, SF2E and/or SF2V), you have to buy them. wrench kevin stein Quote
