Hans Topp Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I just edit the targets.ini from Rends and his magnific terrain to add targets like hawk and bloodhound bateries, change airbase names to match with NF5.... I hope it wil be fine... Quote
+eburger68 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Hans: You'll also need to add the new bases that NF5 contains, add the highway strip airfields, merge both TYPES.INIs into a single combined INI, and add all the unique files from NF5 to the new terrain. It's not a simple, straightforward process. I would prefer that folks simply have some patience and wait until we can do a proper job of it, as I cannot support an NF5 install that's using a Frankenstein terrain of unknown provenance. Rends: You wrote: The only drawback is that you can't switch terrains ingame. Exactly. Which is why I recommended setting up an alternate terrain that's differently named -- so that you can seamlessly switch between two versions of the same terrain in-game without have to exist and do a re-naming switcheroo. I actually have four different versions of the GermanyCE terrain installed, and I can switch between any of them at will. Eric Howes Edited March 24, 2014 by eburger68 Quote

malibu43 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Here is a modified set of Air Offensive entries that can be added for both Friendly and Enemy sides in any of the SF2E campaigns. My goal was to incorporate the items that Rends added, as well as make the campaign offensives more closely resemble how I imagine something would play out in real life (targeting things like airfields and comm centers early on, then progressing to supplies and supply chain infrastructure later). AirOffensive[001].Primary=LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY,TOWER,HANGAR AirOffensive[001].Secondary=FUEL_STORAGE,AMMO_STORAGE AirOffensive[002].Primary=COMM_BUILDING,EW_RADAR,COMMAND_BUILDING AirOffensive[002].Secondary=LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY,TOWER,HANGAR AirOffensive[003].Primary=BRIDGE,OIL_REFINERY,WEAPON_FACTORY AirOffensive[003].Secondary=LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY,TOWER,HANGAR,WAREHOUSE AirOffensive[004].Primary=COMM_BUILDING,EW_RADAR,COMMAND_BUILDING AirOffensive[004].Secondary=LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY,TOWER,HANGAR AirOffensive[005].Primary=POWER_PLANT,OIL_REFINERY AirOffensive[005].Secondary=BRIDGE,WAREHOUSE,AMMO_STORAGE,FUEL_STORAGE AirOffensive[006].Primary=LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY,TOWER,HANGAR AirOffensive[006].Secondary=BRIDGE,WAREHOUSE,AMMO_STORAGE,FUEL_STORAGE AirOffensive[007].Primary=BRIDGE AirOffensive[007].Secondary=FUEL_STORAGE,WAREHOUSE,AMMO_STORAGE,POWER_PLANT,OIL_REFINERY AirOffensive[008].Primary=WAREHOUSE,AMMO_STORAGE AirOffensive[008].Secondary=LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY,TOWER,HANGAR,POWER_PLANT,OIL_REFINERY AirOffensive[009].Primary=COMM_BUILDING,EW_RADAR,COMMAND_BUILDING AirOffensive[009].Secondary=BRIDGE,FUEL_STORAGE,LARGE_RUNWAY,MEDIUM_RUNWAY,TOWER,HANGAR,POWER_PLANT,OIL_REFINERY AirOffensive[010].Primary=ANY AirOffensive[010].Secondary=ANY Please give these a try and let me know how they play out! Only by lots of people testing and providing feedback will improvements like this work. ie - We need to play all the way through a campaign, preferably more than once, and also with different types of units (A/A, A/G, CAS, mix, etc...) to get a feel for the balance of target/mission types. I'm curious to see if players get too many missions striking runways (those aren't the most exciting). Maybe I should reduce the number of those.... Edited March 25, 2014 by malibu43 Quote
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Roger, I thought a Red field was named Gerwin. Great work love it! Quote
Rends Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 3 days out and no complaints? Does everything works fine? Could need some more feedback. Quote
stuntman Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Works fine ATM, nothing to complain. It's going to be perfect when merged with NATO fighters 5 mod Quote
Wil Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Everything great here, good FPS, great targets and immersion! Thanks so far! Quote
Happy308 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Yesterday I got two CTD's on the same position on the Winter map. The faulting module was terainengine.dll. It was around Cuxhaven / Nordholz when flying from over land to water. I'll try to reproduce the fault again when I get home. Quote
Stratos Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I'm getting good FPS and no problems at all. Trying both sides ATM. Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 only had time to try it once but had no issues other than i was so busy looking at the beautiful terrain i crashed. Quote
Rends Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Windows XP =CTDWinXP? Wonder how you get the game running on XP at all. Yesterday I got two CTD's on the same position on the Winter map. The faulting module was terainengine.dll. It was around Cuxhaven / Nordholz when flying from over land to water. I'll try to reproduce the fault again when I get home. Sounds wiered. Any ships there?

+Sundowner Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Here's a little issue for you m8, something a little weird happening with the large tower blocks, not a big deal really though. Quote
Rends Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Hmm, Maybe one of the terrain gurus can shed some lights here. The buildings wasn't changed by me. Quote
Wrench Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 that's a shadow issue caused by running at Unlimited. It's a know issue with TOD objects Quote
Fubar512 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Superb! It is resource intensive, but one must expect that with this series and that level of detail. Quote
+NeverEnough Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 After the new terrain install, I got two CTD's. The first was with Ravenclaw's F-4E and the second was with the Buccaneer. I deleted the new terrain install, and did a complete fresh terrain re-install. The first mission was an attack with the Buccaneer on hardened aircraft hangars. The program CTD'd after the strike, when returning to base. Faulting module name in all three CTD's was TerrainEngine.dll. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and the new Catalyst 14.3 Beta video drivers on a HD 7970 Radeon video card. Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 i have no problems so far , Rafale , Mirage F1 , Buccaneer and F-4E´s working fine i use Win7 64 bit , Nvidia GTX680 video card , Intel i7-2600K 3,40 GHz CPU , 16 MB ram in fact i have more problems with the Anatolia terrain than with Rends GermanyCE , but one thing is clear most of this new Aircrafts and Terrains work only well on high end computers this is a price you have to pay for more high-res and high-detail Quote
Centurion-1 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 SF2 is really bad with larger data amounts and higher poly stuff, think it might be memory related? I too have big problems with Anatolia on my laptop.. Oh and Volker how do you run windows 7 on 16MEGAbytes of ram? Just kidding, couldnt resist.. Sorry Quote
jack33 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 WinXP? Wonder how you get the game running on XP at all. Sounds wiered. Any ships there? All games runing except SFNA, thank´s Quote

+russouk2004 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 building shadow prob may be a polys in the mesh or double sided selected...\i think its poly is reversed...had that on my model ...reversed poly cast reversed shadow...I flipped poly and it went away.. Quote
malibu43 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Looks good so far, Rends. However, I did get a CTD while approaching my Armed Recon target. I believe the target area was a border crossing (forget the name). I'm not sure if the CTD was related to your terrain or not. I can say that I can count my SF2 CTD's in the last 5 or 6 years on one hand, and your terrain is the only thing I've added lately. Quote
