Weapons question.

[Ben106 0]

Hello.

 

 

I'm new to Wings over Israel.

 

I was wondering how to install weapons.

 

I downloaded from here a few jets like F16I and a pack of weapons came with it.

 

How do I install them?

 

thanks

First of all welcome!

 

Second this topic could explain it better and easier than I could:

 

http://combatace.com/forum/189-adding-weapons/

 

Even then the golden rule is to always add them in sequential order which should be covered in that forum. And of course when you edit a weapon always SAVE as it'll update the weapondata.ini and weapondata.dat file.

Hi, thank you for welcoming me.

 

I downloaded a pack of weapons that came with an F-16I skin, now I created a "Weapons" folder, in:Objects\Aircraft.

 

And inside this folder I have the weapons like Python 4 etc.

 

But I can't use those games in-gamely.

 

Can you assist ?

You don't put it in the Aircraft folder you put it in the Objects/Weapons folder.

You don't put it in the Aircraft folder you put it in the Objects/Weapons folder.

I don't have any Weapons folder.

 

I also tried putting it in my Objects folder but still... nothing happened.

 

 

 

[+EricJ 4,249]

you have to make that folder if it's not there

[Ben106 0]

I've done that.

[+EricJ 4,249]

Do you download the Weapons Editor?

[Ben106 0]

I downloaded now.

 

Should I unzip them to the Weapons folder?

 

And then what?

 

There are 4 files btw.

 

WeaponEditor.ini.

 

WeaponEditor.exe.

 

WeaponData.bat.

 

WeaponData.ini

 

 

[+EricJ 4,249]

You can download it to there but usualy I put it outside of that folder as it'll "remember" where you started it from. And I have email alerts when you post so you don't have to worry about me not helping you out.

 

But a very good link to see is this:

 

http://combatace.com/topic/9323-adding-weapons-to-sfwovwoe-a-tutorial/

 

Even if you're not adding weapons like the tutorial you have to click on SAVE so the game will recognize the data.

well I downloaded that and now I have no weapons at all...

 

 

 

 

 

[+EricJ 4,249]

Okay... put the weapondata.ini in the main Objects folder

 

What version of Wings Over Israel do you have? and what weapons editor do you have?

[Ben106 0]

Uh.. I really dont know what version I have.

 

I have the regular one..

 

Weapon Data Editor v04.24.06

 

That's the version I have.

 

I've put all of the files in a folder I created called "Weapons", inside "Objects" folder.

 

But I can't also start the the Weapons program itself while it's inside the folder, only when it's zipped I can.

 

 

[+EricJ 4,249]

Okay that's probably the problem. Try this one:

 

http://www.thirdwire.net/files/dl/WeaponEditor_022008.zip

[Ben106 0]

It doesn't have the WeaponData.ini file.

 

And I don't have on installation, I never had it.

 

 

[+EricJ 4,249]

Okay no problem. You're basically going to have to download a weapons pack in order to get a weapondata.ini that you can add the weapons to. It's in the Strike FIghters 1 Downloads section.

[Ben106 0]

After I download that, I do what?

[+EricJ 4,249]

You install it to your Wings Over Israel install, it has instructions to follow.

[Ben106 0]

Can you help me finding it?

[+EricJ 4,249]

yeah look at the top and you'll see "Downloads" click that and the rest should be easy.

[Ben106 0]

Yeah well I just don't know what to download..

 

The packs are for Guided bombs etc...

 

I don't find an entire pack like I suppose I should download?

 

 

[+EricJ 4,249]

Bunyap's is a good pack to download, it has a lot of things you'll probably look for anyways so download that, install it, then add the weapons from the F-16 you downloaded and things should work.

[Ben106 0]

I couldn't find it... I downloaded something else called Weapons Pack 2.52 by the WO*/SFP1 Community

 

I hope that's fine.

 

 

[+EricJ 4,249]

That's actually better IMHO.

[Ben106 0]

Well.. I installed them well (I can see them when I arm my jet), but the game gets stuck at 60% loading.
