New entrys on SF2 NA

[+JonathanRL 973]

Adding taskforces is simple.

 

Making them appear where you want is a little more tricky

 

[+PureBlue 71]

It doesn't work for me.

 

Sorry, forgot one thing. Add this to ISRAELME.INI

NavalMap=TRUE

 

What other effects this does is yet to be seen.

Let me see if I can do a quick dirty fix for Vietnam map..

 

Edit, inserted Dixie and Yankee Stations. VietnamSEA.rar

safe to assume that you need the carrier stations in the _targets.ini??

Not needed it seems. Just edit the terrrain_water map.

These are new for carrier_data.ini

 

GroundObjectRole=WARSHIP

WarshipClass=AIRCRAFT_CARRIER

CarrierBaseSize=MEDIUM

CarrierNumSquadrons=6

 

The carrier group seems to be a random generated, carriers, transports, frigates etc... (hopefully we can find a file that defines these...)

Israel works !

[+paulopanz 2,853]

Vietnam too!

 

 

Next step should be having escorts in campaigns, too ....

[MigBuster 2,861]

Yak-38 data.ini has these entries:

 

 

 

[MissionData]

NationName=SOVIET

 

........

CarrierParkSpan=4.55

CarrierParkAnimationID=9 hmmm?? I wonder if they go for a stroll round the deck when you are off on a mission.

Thats easy. Check the screen shot a few posts up.

[+Brain32 265]

Can't find the .fx files anywhere, either. Guess they're locked up too. Anyways the terrain only uses 4 textures so I guess it uses vertex colors or individual blendmaps, but who can say for sure without looking in the shadercode. That ICELAND_DETAIL_MAP texture just modulates the detail texture. Green looks like it is the glaciers so you don't get noisenormal rendered on those.

 

I was looking forward to this new engine but it doesn't seem like it is intended for us to play with.

 

Well one more thing about it is a bit strange, Iceland CAT takes up almost 400 MB's but when you extract all, it's just 36 MB's...

just now noticed... locked locked locked...

[+Dave 2,318]

Anyone figure out the data linking?

[+Stary 2,426]

seems we can kiss our sorry terrain modding a**es goodbye babe!

[Wrench 9,426]

and even removing the AllowedMissions= statement, does NOT bring back CAS/Armed_Recon/Strike against land targets for me (using either land based OR carrier based); even after editing the SingleMission.ini and _types ini to raise up (or lower in SI.ini) the target values.

 

For me, something be broke bad...

Yup and while I can somewhat understand locking out the LOD I really don't get the point of locking the fx. files.

I mean God forbid we make some mods for the game right?

 

Well I hope TK will atleast provide some support in our tries to make new terrains, instead of guess how it's done approach.

Although the whole thing might actually be a free for all whatever you make in 3dsmax kind of thing...

[+Julhelm 266]

Yeah it's not for us to play with it seems.

asked the man about some terrain creation tooltips/info, I guess I won't ever have an answer

[+Julhelm 266]

What we could use is for someone to write a 3rd party cat extractor.

Could You explain? I always would like a Vietnam Campaign with escorts!

I bet at least not till the patch work is done... But why the quick judgement..

It's only day one since the monkeys are out of their cages

Naah I don't think so, since it's max driven a simple exporter notes pages might be enough.

I think the guy will answer us as he finds some time...

[+Stary 2,426]

then why this locking?
