Road Airfield?

[gillg 4]

Hi guys, trying to put the road airfield into my swedish terrain but its not showing up in the game. The actual tile is not showing up at all. Ive added all the files from the road airfield DL here, I have the germanyg-roadSH file listed in my data.ini and in my texturelist, but no go.

The airfield is there with its camonets, but no roadSH tile. I added the tile at a much later date than the rest but that shouldn't make a difference should it?

 

cheers

You are going to need to use Terrain Editor to place that title good luck

Tiles can only be placed via the Terrain Editor. They're placement information is stored in the TFD file.

 

You'll have to add the new 'roadairfield' tile to the terrain's texturelist ini, and then figure out where it goes, and hand place it. THEN move all the objects via the _targets ini to fit the tile.

 

don't even get me started on TODs....

O.K., so here's what i've done.

1. I have the this in the data.ini

[Texture131]

Filename=GERMANYG-ROADSH.BMP

HasWater=0

Color=0.312067,0.330396,0.210098

SolidObjectTexture=TEROBJECT_AUTOBAHN.BMP

AlphaObjectTexture=TER_NEWTREES1.TGA

 

2. In the texturelist.ini

Filename131=GERMANYG-ROADSH.bmp

and this;

[GERMANYG-ROADSH.BMP]

TextureType=3

DetailType=0

HeightMapScale=100.000000

TransitionType=0

TransitionTo=0

3WayTransitionTo=0

RiverType=0

RoadType=0

RandomFactor=100

ExclusionRegion=0

ExcludeMaxX=0

ExcludeMinX=0

ExcludeMaxY=0

ExcludeMinY=0

LimitRotation=0

Allow0deg=0

Allow90deg=0

Allow180deg=0

Allow270deg=0

SolidObjectTexture=TEROBJECT_AUTOBAHN.bmp

AlphaObjectTexture=TER_NEWTREES1.bmp

 

3. I have the ROAD_AIRFIELD1.ini in my folder, and all its bmp's and tod's,

4. I have the germanyg_roadSH.bmp and its .tod file in my folder,

5. I have physically placed the germanyg_roadSH.bmp tile using the TE in the spot i want it,

6. I have the targets.ini file with the appropriate entries,

7. I have the target_types.ini with the appropriate entries.

 

Now am i missing a step anywhere?

Is it or is it not showing up in game??? You DID transfer the newly created TFD to Sweden terrain folder, yes??

Got it to work now. I was altering the texturelist using notepad and manually entering the entris, apparantely it works only when you import the new bmp via the TE.

Thats all i had to do to make it work. That took me 2 weeks to resolve even before i tried you guys here.

 

Cheers anyway wrench..

actualy, you CAN do it via notepad, BUT you MUST save the texturelist.ini from inside the TE.

 

Steps: add new tile via TE function

"Save Texturelist"

add TOD items, save

'Save Texturelist'

place tile

 

"SAVE ALL" <--MOST IMPORTANT COMMAND!!!

 

transfer TFD & HFD to terrain folder (after backing up what's already there), Test Fly

That's right, i was saving the texturelist.ini using notepad after i had made the alterations. I wsn't saving it from within the TE

 

Cheers wrench, i'll get this terrain finished yet.
