Just converted to SF2, need a little help.

Hey, guys

 

I just bought the entire SF2 series and am in the process of learning the new modding system. However, I'm having one small problem with the terrain [AllowedDates] entries. I know there is a sticky on this already, written by Wrench, and it's really good... but it's not working for me at all. I've tried it on both stock and 3rd-party terrains to no effect. The date selection is locked at 1982, which means I'm stuck with aircraft intro years for anything afterwards. I can usually figure this out but I'm stumped. Here's an example of my Desert.ini

 

[Terrain]

TerrainFullName=Desert

DataFile=desert_data.ini

TargetFile=desert_targets.ini

TargetTypeFile=desert_types.ini

MovementFile=desert_movement.ini

NationsFile=desert_nations.ini

LocationMap=desert_Location.bmp

WaterMap=desert_Water.bmp

BriefingText=desert_briefing.ini

DogfightFile=desert_dogfight.ini

DogfightOnly=FALSE

GroundObjectTexture=tan

 

[Map]

FilenameFormat=PlanningMap%d.bmp

Width=1000000.0

Height=1000000.0

NumZoomLevels=3

 

[WeatherChance]

ScatteredChance=50

BrokenChance=25

OvercastChance=4

InclementChance=2

 

[AllowedDates]

StartDate=1948

EndDate=2050

 

 

Anything wrong with that?

 

I'm using Win7 and have the entire Sf2 series plus both expansions merged. The only game MODs I've installed aside aircraft thus far are the SF2V Ground War expansion to the most current update and GreenHell3. Knowing my luck, I'm the only person with this issue, but I figured I'd take a shot.

 

Thanks.

try it:

change the StartYear and EndYear in options.ini in [singleMission], [DogfightHost] and [CoopMission]. as exemple this is what i use:

StartYear=1920

 

EndYear=2100

 

good luck

Awesome! That trick worked. Thanks!

yeah, you HAVE to edit the Options.ini FIRST, before the terrains.

 

Editing the OPtions.ini unlocks everything
