Indeed they are.

A few glitches, though, with random buildings in the countryside instead of huts and trees overlapping buildings but nothing gamebreaking.

 

A question : what are the files I am supposed to put into the vietnam 75 and the South Vietnam terrains? What are the files I am supposed to discard? 

 

Thanks!

Flickering is caused by the newer NVidia drivers. Roll back to 353.62 and the flickering is gone.

Actually the latest Nvidia driver seems to solve the flickering issue.

Hello there Stary,

 

Can´t wait to have this mod working! :clapping:Which so far has been a "no" for me, unfortunately... I´ve downloaded your mod without any error report, so the files must be ok. I have the latest version of SF2 (July 2013) merged install (all scenarios and expansion packs). I´ve copied over the contents of your "Vietnam SEA" folder to my "C:\Users\Holy Ghost Rider\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2" folder. After loading (single mission) I keep seeing the standard map and tyles. I´ve tried to do he same to my "C:\Users\Holy Ghost Rider\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam" folder but still no cigar. Anything I might be doing wrong, for sure but I don´t know what. :blink: Could you possibly help me with this one? Thanks in advance!

It's been a long time, but after unzipping, is there a terrain folder called "VeitnamSEA" ???

that should go into the /name-of-games-mod-folder/Terrains

if not, can you post a screenshot of the mod folder, with the terrain folder open/listed? Like my example below

Thank you so much for this Wrench, I knew I was doing something wrong! I didn’t create this folder and structured like you did, what I did was copying the mod files from inside the downloaded mod folder directly to the “StrikeFighters2 Vietnam” folder! So I need create a folder “Terrains” inside the “StrikeFighters2 Vietnam” folder AND copy the whole VietnamSEA into it. Ok, I’m going to try this now! Thank you once again! :good:

Ok guys, problem solved! :biggrin: Funny how things can turn out, after reading from all the previous similar situations I´ve understood that the "VietnamSEA" mod folder had to go my "C:\Users\Holy Ghost Rider\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam\Terrain" folder, but that didn´t work with my installation. In fact, no other map mod would work that way! So as a last ditch effort I´ve moved those terrain mod folders to my "C:\Users\Holy Ghost Rider\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Terrains" folder. In other words, ALL the terrain mods ONLY work FROM the "Terrains" folder of the "StrikeFighters2" main folder, well at least for me... I guess this happens because I have all the scenarios and expansions from ThirdWire? :pardon: Once again, thank you so much for the help!  Man, did Strike Fighters 2 got a new lease of life with these mods, playing it all over again with better sounds, more immersive raddio chatter and maps! :pilot:

well thats probably because the two are perhaps not 100% compatible, what i mean is South Vietnam might need certain files that Green Hell overwrites to work......i mean i manage to get green hell working with Yankee Air Pirate but i had to remove the ini and none image files to get it to work without messing up the terrain or terrain targets

you are going to have to be more specific before anyone can help you troubleshoot the problem, otherwise i cant think of any reason why it shouldn't ...as far as i am aware they are the same terrain with one more focused on ground war

Thank you tonyspike from the comment. Well I installed in the south vietnam same way as to vietnamsea folder by overwriting all. When I start southvietnam in mission there is some tiles still showing that old green hell 2.0 brighter tiles and many trees show as some water buffaloes and other show as some type of old buddhist tempel :D. I am running the latest 2014 update of air @ ground expansion pack. Maybe I just have to figure out what I over write or do somebody have some fix or idea what im doing wrong?

yes thats the same issue i had when importing it to Yankee Air Pirate, i solved it by just importing the JPEG, BMP & TGA files ...i didnt move any of the INI or media files .....im assuming that green hell changes the terrain slightly and ovverwrites things that South Vietnam needs

      Dear All,
      Today we proudly announce the release of a new, re-edited and upgraded version of the Yankee Air Pirate project known as: "YAP RW Phase One - Enhanced Edition (2025)".
      We have spent more than a year and a half doing our best to correct all the issues, errors and mistakes contained in the original release.  This includes removing assets used without proper permission or those that came from unauthorized sources.  We apologize for the past. We were unaware of many of these aspects and concerns, and therefore we did not respect other's work as we should have done.
      First, we would like to thank those who contributed to the project and gave us help, support, ideas or made their assets available.  We all know that without the brilliant creations of this site, YAP RW could not even exist.  So for that, I extend my sincere thanks to CombatACE for being such a great source of top quality works and talented modders.
      For this release, we have paid special attention to the Credit List, doing our best to cite authors and ensure proper credit has been given.  We realize that with all the complexities and edits that have been done, it’s very possible we may have forgotten to include credits for certain works or there may be inaccuracies with our source citations.  If that is the case, please let us know and we will immediately correct it. 
      That being said, people should fully respect that all of the models/assets in our project cannot be used anywhere else without our direct permission, they remain exclusive to this project like John would have wanted but also allows us to better manage artist permissions so we hopefully don’t have any future concerns. 
      Please keep in mind that the YAP RW project is made by fans for fans. None of us were part of the original development team, and we never made a single cent out of the old payware products (plus we have no control over the old homepage and purchase options).  We do not have debts with anybody for the old assets bought by John Shelton during the YAP1/2/3 Era and are only looking forward at this point.  
      We legally bought all the 10 asset packs, installed them while still running WOV and then decided to challenge ourselves by trying a conversion to the SF2 engine.  We knew we were going to lose many unique features including aerial refueling, low clouds, carrier catapult positioning and more.  But we thought it was still worth the effort.  We worked a lot before releasing this version, but we know it is not perfect. We tried to correct all the errors, but there are bound to be mistakes and oversights and for now we feel satisfied with the current state.   
      If anyone has suggestions to make it better, well we are open to proposed fixes and improve what we can.  We have a group on Facebook, and because it is already well established we plan to continue to use this as a primary collaboration forum.  It's a private group, since we had to defend ourselves from hackers and so on, but the group is free and open to anyone who wants to join in. You are all welcome, just show us you want to support and appreciate the project and there will be no issues. Of course, we do not like denigrators, haters, detractors, generic trouble makers just like they are not welcomed here.  
      That's all. The new YAP RW version is free and is available for download on our new, independent homepage: www.yap-revamp-works.com, along with all the other chapters we revamped so far.  This version there are 102 missions (92 combat plus 10 training), all revamped in chronological order and in logical sequence: we decided to go back to the original idea of reconstructing the Vietnam Air War per year and therefore will cover the early period from 1954 to 1966.
      We will be honored to hear your comments, suggestions or any screenshots or videos you might make.  And maybe you would be willing to contribute even more to the project.  Thank you for your collaboration and have a nice day in the skies. 
      The YAP RW Team

      An error I made working on the city districts drew my attention to the COSTCT tile which only shows a staggering 6 times in the entire EAW world. I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of coastal towns and seaside resorts in Europe, one of which is the one I live in. So I feel I have a choice to make, add more to the EAW coasts or free the tile to be turned into a new city tile to add more diversity to the limited set in use. Personally I think that a village or city tile one coastal tile away from shore will work just as well, after all the entire coast and beach are merely app. 1 or 2 KM deep. The question though is what is a better use in a 64 small tileset?
      Furthermore with a universal tile border there is also a much better use for the river city tiles as they can now also function outside the cities and add more diversity, as was done with other nature's in EAWPRO. Besides that industries predominantly happen on river banks, so it adds to realism too. Vice versa there's also no reason not to use other bridges inside cities like London when borders are uniform, which had 5 at the time of the blitz. EAWPRO already uses dozens of instances of the unused stock rail bridge and a much higher number of any other bridge. They're even used as piers on coastal tiles too, making fun targets to destroy!
      Here's Londen Thames with added bridges, of course the fake crossing can be removed now too.
