Ground Objects not appearing?

[NIELS 421]

Have been trying to build some 'home grown' air bases. I have entered all required tgt_data.ini and tgt_type.ini entries along with all lods, bmps, tgas, item specific ini file additions.

 

I'm specifically having trouble with vehicles not appearing ie: Trucks. Jeeps, support equip etc. Is there an issue with redundant type.ini entries? Do I have to add lods, tgas, bmps, ini files in the terrain folder to make them appear? I have rechecked several times the number sequence and item info of all tgt_type.ini and tgt.ini entries.  Everything appears when I fly a test msn via Wrench's technique (HUDData.ini DisplayDebug set to TRUE) for air base looks/completion except for ground vehicles?

 

 

 

Thanks, NIELS

Just found a number sequence issue after target 013....... Fixed sequence - still no vehicles but tent by control tower now appears. Everything appears from terrain folder (buildings, hangars etc.) just no vehicles?

 

Just taken a break helped me notice the number issue.........Starring at  this stuff hour after hour makes me delirious.

 

Thanks NIELS

this is just a very small sample of what I go through...on a daily basis

 

-------------

if the items are NOT showing, and the are GROUND OBJECTS, make sure the inis within said GO's folder are correct

 

If the items NOT showing are TERRAIN OBJECTS, make sure all the necessary pieces are residing WITHIN the correct terrain folder.

 

for all, make triple damn sure all the type names match those used on the targets ini

 

another thing you've not answered ... how are you locating YOURSELF when placing the targets? Are you starting airborne over then target area being built, or using the free camera view to travel through-space to arrive?

 

 

and I certainly hope you're NOT messing with MY Korea terrain ...

[NIELS 421]

Free camera view - will take your info and recheck again. The only vehicle type items I can see are power carts and bomb trailers?

 

Thanks for your wisdom and feedback, NIELS
