Supertrees II and Maxview

Recommended Posts

A few screen shots of EAWPRO's Supertrees II in action. Supertrees was originally released as a standalone addon at Sandbagger's to replace the 'ugly' forrest models and single trees with tree clumps, providing the game with roughly 4 times as many trees. It's been widely copied into many different addons over the years and most likely you also have a version or variant in your game. Supertrees II uses newly designed tree models which now have 25 trees in a single 3DZ, making it another 100% model using all 255 available polygons. EAWPRO can use two of these in a single object slot. This now again doubles the number as each treeslot contains 50. Here's a few screnshots of how it looks in the Final Cut. Notice the maxed out view depth on the tiles which also causes objects to remain visible from above the clouds!

Ofcourse there is a large range of skins available as some people may not like what they get (really there are such people!).

Another neat model to compliment the above or can be used as standalone, the Orchard, a single group of 36 trees

A new variant on the above, single rows of trees to be used as field boundaries or on the side of roads, or just in the garden or around a target, :)

Also great for shaking an enemy as AI are programmed not to get too close to ground objects, still you might see the occasional daredevil:

      People may have noticed the poor looking city models in EAW where it is actually possible to have at least twice and sometimes even three times as many buildings in a city block. With this knowledge I set out to create new 100% city blocks, to make EAW look more populated. Here you can see the difference between an original EAW block in the foreground vs a newly created block with the tower behind it. Notice that the original textures were replaced with the cleaner looking demo versions with replaced red roofs, so old and dirty black and new clean red can be mixed freely as required.

      The plan is to turn these models into flat roofed variants which can be used in my Suez addon as well, with appropiate modifications ofcourse and complementing the buildings I already created for it. A mediterranean set is already in the works too and nearing completion.
      You heard it first on combatace.com!

      Regularly my terrain editor comes across this coastal situation for which the standard EAW tile set has no solution. It concerns a narrow passage between two land masses. Ofcourse you can simply widen the passage and use two corner tiles but I think this is sometimes more elegant when there's a large number of this situation, like for instance with a large number of islands close together. I think it serves a few more purposes so here's an example of the tile I use in 2 rotational states.

      View File Rio de la Plata terrain
      Rio de la Plata terrain version 1.3
      *****************************************************
      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I.
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      I. Short description:
      This terrain covers the Bay of the river Rio de la Plata. South of this bay we find Argentina, north of it Urugay and Brazil. East of it is the Atlantic Ocean.
      The timeframe of the terrain is from 1980 to 2020.
      It is made as a NavalMap with carrier vs carrier operations in mind.
      The scenario is, that in 1982, the Royal Navy answered the argentinian invasion on the Falkland islands with sending a Naval Task Force toward Buenos Aires and landing troops on the shores of Argentina.
      Thatswhy you find a big british beachhead on the map.
      You can fly following missions for the British and their allies, the Brazilians:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,Armed_Recon
      For the Argentinians you can fly this missions:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,CAS,RECON
      New in vesion 1.2:
      - number of target area increased from 37 to 47
      - all target areas are now fitted with objects. Factories, warehouses, commbuilding etc.
      - Airbase Tandil moved 75 km westward. It is not yet at the correct position. I fear, that if the base is placed at the correct position, the AI would not use it, because it is to far in the west.
      - At the former position of Tandil Airbase i placed a temporary aifield.
      - I added the river Rio Paradana and the neigbour rivers.
      - I relocated Montevideo and the Montevideo Airport. The airport is completly new made.
      - I reworked all rivermouth tiles, enlarged them to 1024x1024 pixel size.
      New in version 1.3
      - number of targetareas increades to 82
      - a lot of new factory target areas for Argentina
      - included uruguayan airbases
      - included static Cessna for airfield "population
      - included some goodies

      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      II. INSTALLATION:
      To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

      Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

      Thats it.

      If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
      If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file
      Rio_de_la_Plata_Bay.ini
      with Notepad editor and look for the lines:
      //CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
      change the entry into:
      CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

      save the file

      II.A: Goodies
      I have made a new mainscreen and included a new mainscreensound. Check it out and if you like it then copy the folder Menu to your SF2 mod installation
      If you own the TK's  DLC28 and SF2Israel, you can use the MirageIIIEA and MirageIIIEBR, which you also find in the goodies folder. Simply copy to your objects folder.

      It still had some room for improvements so I added more rigging to keep the crows nest more stable and added 3 machine guns on the aft balcony and arrestor wire, hope that's the right terminology. Plz correct me if I'm wrong, :D I still have some room left so maybe I can cram something else in.
