Hide nodes for ground objects
Wrench replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Yeah, like WK said, it doesn't work on ground objects. -

Tornado F.3 skins?
Wrench replied to fallenphoenix1986's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Syrinx is lady (one of our few female members) from the UK. I can fix the images; are they included in the zip files? If so, I can download them and just re-up the images. If not...well, .... == one wonders if those original F.3s have ever been updated for SF2 .... -
F-105G Templates
Wrench replied to Sabre1BR's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ArmorDave's mapping is completly different from the 3W F-105s. The only solution is to re-template them yourself -

AT-26 & AT-26A Assistance needed!!
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks! The rudnel site has been of great help; found that yesturday! Now, the next questions how many aircraft in the squadron/group? it seem each flight of 1/4 GAV have differeing card suites (heart, spade, diamond, club) on their tail fins. This is super easy to do with Level-2 decals (nobody does that better than me!). So, how many A/C in each flight? -
Used FM units of measure ?
Wrench replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The image is just a screen cap of Mue's Lod Viewer. One of the best tools EVER invented for this game. and now to muddy the waters further....two words.. EmptyInertia how is THAT figured out, and what does it mean? -

Used FM units of measure ?
Wrench replied to Coupi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
iirc, jet thrust is in Newton Meters; not sure about prop planes --?. also, iirc, fuel weights are kg, for internal tanks. all other physical measurements are Metric. have been since day one. some speed statements MAY be in Meters/Sec (MPS). I think those are the ones in the -FlightData- section at the top. you're taking about individual meshes, and how the interact with each other. In the image below, for the Harrier 1, you can see the blue bounding box, with IS the actual mesh X/Y/Z parameters, and the green Hit box (and the fact they don't even match!! Seen this plenty of time of stock aircraft, too) IIRC this correctly, the Min/Max describes the extents of the bounding box, the actual size of the component. Obviously, the Hit Box (green) is where damage is taken (collision points) From the fuselage section of the 3W Harrier 1: MinExtentPosition=-0.74,-6.68,-1.00 MaxExtentPosition= 0.74, 1.26, 0.97 CollisionPoint[001]= 0.00,-6.67,-0.20 CollisionPoint[002]= 0.00,-2.61,-0.93 CollisionPoint[003]= 0.00, 1.25, 1.00 CollisionPoint[004]= 0.00,-6.68, 0.70 CollisionPoint[005]= 0.54,-4.98,-0.40 CollisionPoint[006]=-0.54,-4.98,-0.40 as you can see, there IS a tail mesh, but the Fuselage HB has been extended to cover it. Kinda weak, imho. -
Mountains & big rock formations
Wrench replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
my suggestion would be to keep the poly count as low as possible, IF even possible! -
Mountains & big rock formations
Wrench replied to GKABS's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
bridges need to be placed on flat ground or they don't line up (see my original ASW Texas/Mexico terrain along the Rio Grande. Seriously messed up bridges) Adding objects like this isn't new -- Russ experimented with it in the 1stGen series, and my WW2 Hawaii terrain sports a Ford Island that's a single piece lod (courtesy of Geezer). It's a great way to add specific types of objects. -

SF2 Nations Expansion Pack
Wrench replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
one can assume several dozen faults like that! (just thinking the USAF/USMC/USN all changed national insignia in 1947, as an example) -
Mods for SF2 not having sufficient installation instructions
Wrench replied to 1Patriot-of-many's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I'm just curious to know if these "non working" campaigns are designed for a stand-alone mods folder (like KAW or TSF or ODs or..or...or), and the end user is just dumping them into an "all is everything" mods folder. Which, 99.999999999999999999999% of the time simply don't work. And yes, there are massively varying levels of details in read mes. Always been my personal peeve. Tell the end user what the fuck it's for, if it's designed merging with **** game, or is a seperate, stand alone mods folder is required. AND the part about "having to edit the options ini" is flagging, to me at lease, said campaign mods REQUIRE seperate installs. Just thinking out loud. Of course -

ODS Redux carrier missions buggy on my end
Wrench replied to zeitgeist's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
delete the mods folder, NOT the exe!! (unless you used an exe other than the NA one) When you (re)start your ODS.exe, it'll rebuild a new mods folder. Then, you all the ODS stuff from you downloaded. Since they're carriers involved, I'd HIGHLY recomend building it from the SF2:NA executable. Better carrier coding in that exe -
I simply cant get the guns of my plane to fire.
Wrench replied to MiG29Fulcrum's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
it's also been observed over the years, that the control ini sometimes get re-written by the game. I've had this happen on and off in various mods folders for at least 4-5 years. One could try editing by hand, getting the set up the way you want, and then change the properties of the control ini to "read only". And like Gepard said, check that the gun you're trying to shoot actually exists. Also like he said, check ALL stock player-flyable aircraft The first thing we learned in (automotive) diagnostics: Common to one, or common to all?? -

KFIR C2 LOD
Wrench replied to crisisloaner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
it should be in the same place as the RAAF serials on their Mirage IIIs. Almost identical in size, and mesh names be the same. ( Tail -4.60, 0.10) -

Found in the storage archives ... needs a lot of work to get SF2 ready. It'll be out when it's out. So don't go whining -
Text before a mission?

one of the most missed things, when I came over from Fighters Anthology in 2003, was that nice descriptive briefing. Was a great way to tell the story
