Wilches Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 Mue, when making a new LodViewer, please consider to add the weapons, pilot and brightness views. Thanks!

I still have plans to update the tools: TargetAreaEditor, LODViewer and LODExporter. And first and foremost I want to eventually release a first version of the TODEditor! I know I promised the TODEditor since by now more than 5 years(!). And three months ago I thought the first version will be "ready in two weeks"(TM). But than again RL stuff, vacation, etc. ... happened, and I haven't worked much on it since then. But right now I hope (again) the first release will be "ready in two weeks"(TM).

+Stratos Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 He hasn't been around since late August, hope he's doing fine, some months have passed. 1
+GKABS Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Hopefully he is just busy with real life work. Hope to hear from him soon. 1
mue Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Hi all, I'm OK. But as GKABS correctly assumed, I was and still am very busy with real life work. And now even more so. In september we had a sudden change at work that eventually increased my workload again. So, SF2 modding is still on a back burner . 2 9
Nyghtfall Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Hey Andy, thats bad...sorry to hear that. But good to see, that you're fine. I hope you're get some free days around X-mas. 3
+Stratos Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 I was a bit scared after so many weeks without login! good to see you're doing fine! 1
+daddyairplanes Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 good to hear youre doing ok, even if now very busy with RL
+Stratos Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Was looking at this pic by Dunois with SF2 planes and WT terrain, and I believe we can get a lot better terrain representation once Mue release his tool, trees flanking rural roads, more trees on forests, better city representations! Can't wait. 4
+daddyairplanes Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 in that pic, life is good..... but yes it could be better and in a shameless plug, someone needs to get the KC-135 skinpack number 2. proper SAC/Wing badges and no tail checkerboard like it was back then....... 2
+Gepard Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 I have a question to the TOD Editor. I added LOD buildings to the editor, then i placed them on the tile. It works fine. My problem is, that the LOD buildings do not draw their skin from jpg file which is originaly linked with the LOD but from terobject file which is connected with the tileset. The result you see in the screenshot above. Any idea, somebody?
Gatling20 Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Mue will be able to answer this definitively, but my guess is that each tile can only have one texture for its TOD objects, which is defined by the line SolidObjectTexture=, an example being: [Texture001] Filename=germanyG1.BMP HasWater=0 Color=0.315639,0.372233,0.266439 SolidObjectTexture=terobject_buildings1.bmp AlphaObjectTexture=terobject_trees1.tga It would be good to be able to add LOD objects which used their own texture files. Hopefully Mue can explain. 1
Gatling20 Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 I have been playing around with this new TOD Editor, moving some of the TOD objects around to conform better with the roads and things painted on the tiles themselves. It is a tedious tile-by-tile business, but the result looks much more pleasing from the air. This is great new tool from Mue! Gepard: you are one step ahead of me. I haven't worked out how to add LOD buildings to a TOD file. I see the option in the drop-down menu, but haven't worked out how to make it work yet. 1
+Gepard Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Yes. The editing of the line in the data.ini was successfull. The LOD building now has the intended skin. Thanks. But there is a new problem: Theposition of the skin on the LOD object is wrong. Looks funny, isnt it! 1
Gatling20 Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Hmm... those buildings do look a bit funny. Mue will have to tell us how to paint the LODs which are now TOD objects. Also, those square things next to the houses, which I assume are trees, look very odd. I think you will need to tweak the line AlphaObjectTexture=

Hopefully Mue can explain. Yes, you are correct. The solid TOD objects of a tile share the same texture (atlas) defined by SolidObjectTexture (and respectively the alpha objects share the same texture defined by AlphaObjectTexture). Thats how the game engine works and there is nothing I can do about it. That also means objects that use different texture files can not be imported and used together in a tile. The objects must be first remapped to use the same texture atlas that also has to be created. I should update the readme.txt to clarify that restriction. 1

Oops, It seems the texture coordinates are flipped vertically. I'll investigate where exactly the bug is. As a workaround I think you can flip the texture vertically. 1 2
