Adding ground object in SF1

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Anybody can point me to the right direction on how to add a ground object like armor vehicle or ship to my SF1 WOV?

 

I had tried to search this forum, i found how to add an aircraft, add weapons but i can't find the instruction for adding ground object. Anyone can help me?

 

Thanks

unzip to a temp folder or your desktop, read the enclosed read me for install instructions.

 

usually, just drag and drop (or cut/paste) the new vehicles/ship/ground unit into the /GroundObject folder.

 

IF the item was created pre-08 patch (and not yet updated), the main ini will need some editing as per this thread:

Thanks for help. I just able to add ground objects. It is fun!

 

By the way, i had also added a warship to my WOV, but how can i make the warship appear in the anti-ship single mission so that i can shoot at the warship instead of shooting cargo ship?

warships don't show in anti-shipping missions, because they're warships. Only vessals classed as CARGO_SHIP are valid targets.

 

Of course, in SF2, with SF2NA, they ARE valid targets (but only in CVBGs). Another reason to move up! :grin:

Keep your original warship folder file as is in case they are used in campaign etc as WARSHIPS. Lets say warship is "Destroyer"

 

 

To get it to appear in anti-ship mission do the following:

 

 

Copy Destroyer folder and rename to Destroyer_2 (for example)

 

In the new folder find the file Destroyer.ini and rename it to Destroyer_2.ini

 

In the new folder find the file Destroyer_data.ini and edit it as follows:

 

Find line new top that says: GroundObjectRole=WARSHIP

 

change this to read: GroundObjectRole=CARGO_SHIP

 

 

 

You will now have 2 destroyer models. One a WARSHIP and one a CARGO_SHIP

 

The CARGO_SHIP version will now be selected randomly for anti-ship missions.

The ship finally appeared on the sea!:lol:

If i want to make a vehicle like russian BMP to appear in armed reconnaissance missions, what is the GroundObjectRole i should specify?

Now i only can shoot at trucks in armed recon mission.

Hi Wrench, thanks for the tip. It works nicely.

I had tried BTR for armed recon mission also, it is totally not a good idea as a lot of BTRs from the convoy open up their AA gunfire on me, and i got shot down immediately. I was like :yikes:.
