SF2 Carrier and Campaign Mod Readme

 

This mod adds a carrier to the stock SF2 campaigns, as well as places USN and some of the USMC squadrons in those campaigns on the carrier. Additionally, if you have a merged install with SF2V, SF2E, and SF2NA, you can add F-8's and A-7's to the stock campaigns and a new 1978 campaign with A-7's, F-15's, HarrierGR3's, F-14's, and A-10's as well.

 

Requirements:

SF2 and SF2V (for the carriers) are required. SF2E and SF2NA are optional but recommended.

 

 

To install:

 

1. Drag the "campaigns" folder into your mod folder.

 

2. If you already have modified desert_targets.ini in your SF2/Terrains/Desert folder, skip to the next step. If you do not already have modified desert_targets.ini, extract Desert.ini and Desert_targets.ini from Desert.CAT (in the main game folder) using the SF2 .cat extractor. Create a 'Terrains' folder in your SF2 mod foler and create a 'Desert' folder inside that one. Place the extracted Desert.ini and Desert_targets.ini in that folder.

 

3. Add the following to the bottom of desert_targets.ini:

 

[TargetAreaXXX]

Name=Whiskey Station

Position=550000,600000

Radius=5657

ActiveYear=0

Location=3

Alignment=FRIENDLY

CarrierStation=TRUE

 

Make sure 'XXX' in the [TargetAreaXXX] is the next number following the target area above where you pasted the entry.

 

 

4. That's it!

This mod has been updated!

 

In addition to adding carriers to the stock SF2 campaigns, it now includes an optional set of campaigns that are for SF2 installs merged with SF2V and SF2E. These new campaigns add F-8's and A-7's to the five SF2 campaigns (where appropriate), as well as a new 1978 desert campaign that includes F-14's, F-15's, A-10's, A-7's, and Harrier GR3's.

 

Enjoy!

This file has been updated to correct some typos in the campaign descriptions.

 

In case anyone downloaded the file in the last couple of days (since the original 10/11 update a few days ago), I found one other typo that prevented the F-8C's from showing up in the '59 campaign. If you have a merged install, and if you downloaded the update from a few days ago you can either re-download, or go into campaign1_data.ini and make this change:

 

[AirUnit047] <---------------------- change to 47 (was 46)

AircraftType=F-8C

ForceID=1

Nation=USN

DefaultTexture=USNGrey1

RandomChance=100

MissionRate=0.9

Hey folks,

 

I have updated this mod to utilize carrier battle groups and the stock F-14A from SF2NA (if you have it).

 

Thanks.

Even if I mostly like historical campaigns, I have to say that You made a wonderful job, mate! bravo! :clapping:

A new version has been uploaded, although it's mostly minor tweaks and typo corrections.

 

I also forgot to include in the readme that there are now custom base start screens for the carrier units, courtesy of Homefries.
