Hey folks. Setting up a little website for OFFice/OFFbase/OFFworld so people can download them and such even when the forums are cranky. But I've no talent for visual design and such, and wondered if anyone with such skills would like to volunteer?

 

Siggi? Lou? Anybody else?

 

Wouldn't mind just reusing the layout I built for the old DiD website, designed by Siggi. But I'd need new graphical icons and new header images. You around somewhere, Siggi? Still have the raw banner images without text overlays?

Man, I am literally praying for the Devs.  I know they gotta be between heaven & hell themselves seeing the good stuff they've previewed to us and yet not being quite ready for prime time.  And you keep hanging in there, and for that I thank you.  It's too quiet around here, I hope you get soime help; I sure wish I could pitch in.

 

Keep up the good work, I think you're single-handedly keeping OFF "in view" & attractive while Pol & the guys struggle on!

Thanks, HumanDrone. If a WOFF falls in a forum and no one's around to hear it...

 

Best way anyone can help my efforts to keep the community alive would be to join OFFworld. Even if you don't have time to play much these days but just wanna say thanks for OFFice and OFFbase and all my other mods and programs. And if you can find time to play, it truly is the most fun you've had with OFF in years. In any case, I really could use the support.

 

Forgot to mention, free membership to OFFworld for the person who can contribute website graphics. Mostly need help making graphical buttons for the various pages, OFFice, OFFbase, OFFworld, and a few others. Same style as this would be awesome:

(Siggi's? button from the old DiD site)

 

But any consistent WW1-ish style would be nice.

Lothar, I'd be glad to help if I can.  Send me a list of the buttons you need and the sizes they need to be I may be able to knock them together for you on Sunday.  Let me know the particulars and I'll see what I can come up with for you.

 

Cheers!

 

Lou

The site in development is currently here, if anyone wants to check it out. Lou's made a huge difference already, but it's still a work in progress. So feedback welcome, as are reviews of OFFice/OFFbase/OFFworld if anyone's itching to contribute such.

 

Also, would be willing to consider trading membership in OFFworld for hosting the site...

      Hi everyone,
      I was wondering how to customize the numbers after your callsigns, since it always gives me the same ones.
      I think i managed somehow once, a bit of time ago, but now i forgot and have no idea how to.
      I'm not talking about how to customize the callsign name, but the unit number after it.
      As you can see in the Roster and in the picture under, i get "Fast Eagle 1-1" and "Fast Eagle 1-2"
      Here are some examples:


      The numbers on the tail, wing and nose numbers are customized, cause i managed how to change them, choosing them individually for each unit in the mission file by changing "AircraftNumber=" and typing the number, like "2" (as for 202). It doesn't change by typing the whole number tho, like 202 by typing 202, but it goes by typing the number that corresponds to the list of numbers you have. For example, In a list that goes from 200 to 400, you will have to type 10 to get 300. Here i just typed "2" and "7" since the list starts from 200


      IIRC, in the past i just used to type the Aircaft number just like that, and in-game i had the proper number after the callsign, like "Fast Eagle 102", not just the number displayed on the plane livery.
      How do i do? I'm pretty sure that it's possible to have "Fast Eagle 102" on my screen HUD and in the Roster
      Thanks in advance for helping me.

      I’m flying an F-16I Sufa mod for Strike Fighters 2 Israel. I’ve modified the loadout ini file in an attempt to change the missile types and positions on the pylons. I’m having a consistent issue with the outer pylons (not the wingtip mounts, but the furthest pylons from the fuselage under the wings). I want these to carry one AMRAAM each, and as far as I can tell I have modified the loadout ini, the related missile object inis, and aircraft ini to be able to accommodate this. However, when I go to a single mission in-game and access the loadout screen, those outer pylons are always empty (no missiles). When I go to add missiles manually to these pylons, all AMRAAM types only are available in “4s” and not “2s.” So in other words it’s trying to mount 2 AMRAAMs on each pylon, which shouldn’t be possible (realistically), as these are set up for single missiles only. The F-16I ini file does have a relatively complex series of pylon rules, but I believe I have it set up to be able to mount AMRAAMs on these pylons, and I can’t find any setting in any file that would allow me to indicate there should only be the option to mount one missile per pylon in the loadout screen in game. I suspect a setting related to this “4 missiles” issue is preventing my loadout ini file from operating correctly and defaulting my vipers to have AMRAAMs on those pylons. 
       
      Any thoughts on a setting I am missing here?

      I downloaded this mod for the F-5 and all of the skins for the aircraft are black, which means the textures aren't loading but I can't find out why it isn't loading. There is no exact installation instructions other than extract it into the mod folder which I did and there doesn't look like there are any issues with the file placement compared to the other aircraft files. Can anyone help me out?

      P.S. the drop tanks have the textures working and the cockpit, loading screen, menu, etc all work. Everything but the skin.

      Howdy y'all!
      So, I installed Wings Over Europe via Steam, promptly updated it to the October 2008 patch, and fixed the stuttering by using the ENB patch for Skyrim (of all things). I also cribbed the DDraw.dll from the DgVoodoo install, which prevented the game crashing when pressing escape at the end of a mission. A couple of things to note here:
      - The renderer indicated in the options menu is not ENB, but my GPU still. Despite this, the game runs perfectly fine.
      - I turned the shadows down from Unlimited to High as I read on a forum post that this could help with z-fighting, but this did not solve the issue. I will turn it back up to Unlimited if it is all the same.
      - There are absolutely no other graphical issues in the sim what so ever, no matter the aircraft, time of day, or weather.
      The issue I am describing in the title appears like so in sim. I took three screenshots so you could see the way the dark boxes flicker on surfaces. It is not just aircraft, either, but also terrain. It seems to get culled in a circle as I turn my head with TrackIR:



      As you can see, my wingman gets periodically eaten by this weird black blob. I am at a loss as to how to fix it, and if it cannot be fixed, that's completely understandable given the Biblical age of the engine. Thanks in advance!
