Must have mods for the SF2 series.....Anyone?

[Wrench]

SAMs and vehicles from Pasko and Kesselbrut Zil truck pak; the recently released Ural trucks. (however, the HAWKs and SA3s and their radars in that pack arent' to SF2 standards yet. but the trucks work fine)

 

Lists like these 'must haves', I find are releativily useless, being for the most part, of one persons opinion. Hence, the (not updated for a long time) "What's Available" thread in the ever-ignored Knowledge Base (1stGen), that cataloges (most) of the thing released, both stock and 3rdParty

I made 2 HDR mods for SF2 in DX9 Mode. HDR 1.01A and ATI HDR 1.03 (for ATI Card users). But TK's DX10 shaders are much better than my DX9 mods.

One thing I'd like to point out, is that there are some mods listed that may conflict with eachother. For example, Pasko's SAM's and Gunny's weapons pack will probably overwrite things in NF4+ or the SF2V Exp Pack that were updated specifically for those mods. NF4+ and the SF2V Exp Pack are updated quite often, where I'm not sure if some of those mods listed are.

 

Just my .02.

Hey Malibu43,

Good points but like everything here its use at your own risk. I always install manually and if I have questions about an install I would wait to install it until I was able to do more research on it. TGA fies and BMP files I dont really care if they are changed as long as it still loads in game properly. But a word to the wise is to backup your files often just in case you need to replace one here or there. I will update list tonight Thanks guys for the input...This is a great way to share your input for the new guys.

This is definitely turning out to be a very strong base and detailed list for starting out in SF2 .......Good job Guys!

Hey Malibu43,

Yeah, but you said yourself, this list is intended for new pilots to be able to know what to add without a lot of guess work. To me, it looks like there is still a lot of guess work to figure out what is compatible with what. I think the thing that is most likely to happen here is that folks new to the TW games will look at this list, install everything from it, and then flood the forums with questions about why their game is screwed up after they followed the must-have install list.

 

And, like wrench mentioned, the list has gotten pretty large and has been created by a limited number of folks. And as someone who's been around here for a few years, I see tons of stuff on there that I've never considered installing. So is it really the "must-have" stuff?

 

I think the real must have list should be more like this:

 

NF4+

SF2V Exp Pack

Range Terrain

 

But that's just my .02

[VA27Badger]

Well I have all of these added and I have no problems but thanks for the input....

[VA27Badger]

Hey Guys,

For the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with all of the mods that were given by the pilots of the community and I must say its been very informational and a great learning experience when it comes to getting familiar with the files and folder structures of the SF2 series. I will post my findings in another post that will be listed " Basic Mod Install for SF2 Series" or something like that, but the list is definitely a much shorter list then what was posted here. Having a strong foundation to build from was my main reason starting this thread and of course to help all of the newer pilots in the community and believe me there' s a lot. Again thanks to all of the people that posted here. Stay tuned.

I use it! :) It seems Paskos Russian-hardware is down ( http://home.earthlink.net/~pasko_patak/vehicles.html ) Anyone know where i can find his Russian SAMs, T-62s and VVS Aircrafts?

[Wrench]

The World Famous Pasko SAMS and Vehicle Pak ™ is still in the 1stGen Downloads section (again, the HAWK radars will need updating, but updated ones are readily availalbe in most of my terrain mods)

 

And, THANK YOU for using my old thread! At least, somebody's read it!! I feel better!!

Hard to believe no one has mentioned any of EricJ's bugs.....

not to blow my own horn (more than 2 or 3 times a week, at least) ANY terrain I've done.

 

and ANY and ALL of Stary's retilings ... they're just too good to pass up!
