  1. the terrain: http://combatace.com/files/file/6089-modern-darwintimor/ update pak: http://combatace.com/files/file/11564-sf2-update-modern-darwin-terrain/
  2. You're welcome but that's not the most recent version....or any version I recognize. Target area 005 is [TargetArea005] Name=Maumere Position=279124,582385 Radius=3000 ActiveYear=0 Location=2 Alignment=ENEMY I'd suggest backing up that whole terrain (just stick the Darwin folder someplace NOT in the /Terrains folder) hitting the download section and get the most recent, with any updates that go with it.
  3. A-6A_DATA ini, the one with all the flight parameter statements. just rename that one to check. A new one can always be extracted from (whichever!) cat file it's residing in. If needed don't do anything to the main ini !!!!! (A-6E.ini) Otherwise, you won't be able to fly it anymore!!! The Toro, I don't remember what the fix was...hopefully some one else will pop in and answer that one!
  4. out of date data ini, with wrong or mismatched hardpoint statments. Fuel tanks are part of the physical model on most aircraft in SF2 series. This issue should be covered somewhere in the Knowledge Base (i thinks!) rename the data ini to X-****whatever, and the problem should go away.
  5. yeah...that's not on my map. I also just checked, and there's no such target area. I'd double check exactly WHICH map you're fiying on, and if it IS a Darwin, I'd check the dates of all the inis Mine show the most "recent" as April, 2012 you sure you're not on the DAT's Timor map??

  6. XvT-BoP Draconis Ship Patch

    Wrench commented on Wrench's file in Star Wars Games

    I wasn't sure, so just included EVERYTHING. When I did the copy/paste install for my GoG version, everything worked fine (or I just got lucky!!) REMEMBER FOLKS: most of us uploaders don't read these sections. So, please, if there's any issues, problems, comments, or information post it it the regular threads or the Release Announcment thread thank you! :)

    XvT-BoP Draconis Ship Patch 1/2/2017 This ship patch was originally for old versions Win95/98 versions, the instructions herein are moddified for use with newer GoG version of XvT-Bop. It is VITALLY important that this document be read all the way through before attempting installation of ANY of the files included herein. The files provided are "as is", as they originate circa 1997. You will be copying and pasting the various files and folders, as the original install bat file no longer works in Win7 and higher operating systems (well, at least for me). For those that remember the "old days", this ship patch will add various and sundry ships to BOTH XvT and BoP, fighter types, crago craft and starships for use by both sides of the Galactic Cival War. See the enclosed original SPReadMe.txt for a more detailed listing. Most, if not all, of the upcoming mission set conversions by me will =require= several of the ships in this craft patch set. To make things even safer, it is required that you ==BACKUP== your entire original XvT game folder, with everything inside, to a safe location BEFORE INSTALLING ANY OF THESE FILES. Seriously, I really mean it! Do the safe thing!! I've written, what I hope to be, fairly simple but detailed install instructions. Included are several images (jpgs) to help illustrate the install proceedures. Any questions, comments, or issues, please post in them here at CombatAce, in this release announcement thread. We'll try to get any problems ironed out. But it's a fairly straight forward install proceedure. So, PLEASE read it all the way through before attempting the install!! Happy Flying!! Wrench Kevin J. Stein DSP by Draconis, circa 1997
  8. well, if we need any Titan missiles airlifted, this would be the bird to do it!!
  9. that's almost correct, but incomplete. Thusly: [TargetType193] Name=SA-3DL FullName=SA-3 Goa Dual SAM TargetType=SAM_LAUNCHER UseGroundObject=TRUE GroundObjectType=SA-3_DL ActiveYear=1962 TargetValue=100 RepairRate=0.555 StartDetectChance=20 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=8000.0 DestroyedEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion SecondaryEffect=VehicleFireEffect SecondaryChance=100 the main problem with "direct call" AD units, is their associated radars (both search and track/targeing) will NOT show up on any RWR display (3-ring, vector, or TEWS). This is a major glitch in the game engine, and hasn't been (and never will be addressed).
  10. the air defenses HAVE to be built into the terrain. They just don't show up by magic. in the types ini, they (any and all SAM launcher units) should read "STATIC_SAM" (SA-2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12) Eve the SA6 can be set as STATIC. SA-9 can be mobile, as it's on a BRDM chasis. your MANPADS (SA7 and etc) can be set as "MOBILE_AAA" in their data inis. They'll show up randmly replace gun-type AAA units. basically, means that whoever set up the terrain (and the desert is infamous for this) left them out
  11. File Name: XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: Rebel Pursuit File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 16 January 2017 File Category: Star Wars Games XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: Rebel Pursuit 1/5/2017 For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the new GoG version This is the 5th set of a total of 20 mission sets/TODs that cover the time from from just before the Battle of Yavin, to just after the Fall of the Empire. In this mission set, in the aftermath of suppressing the Scavanger pirate group, you will be tasked with running down any of their remaining forces, and joining with the Secret Order and other Imperial Naval units to eliminate the Rebels. This set will have you tasked with craft inspection, blockade, and various other actions against enemies of the Empire; external and internal. These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder. All missions have been edited for fairness & balance (hopefully!), due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectiveness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. Please pay attention to them, as some may save your life or your mission critical craft. Also, when possible, other craft in the mission can be selected for Player use, or for multi-player. As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense. Wrench Kevin Stein original set for TFCD by Michael Raven circa 2000 Click here to download this file

  13. due to their historical nature, from the original release of SFP1, combuildings* are a REQUIRED item in every target area (the Old Hands will get the joke!!!) (* = hereinafter forever known as "evildamncombuilding"
  14. "inactive".. now, THAT'S hella clever!!! thanks Happy!!!
  15. the pink/other colored tiles are Missing from the terrain folder; that's what's always been the case with my experience. Zoom in, and do a "info" as to the tile name, and see if it is actually residing in the terrain folder.
  16. somewhere around here is a hi=rez for the 100D by hgbn (it's REALLY good!). They're pretty much mapped the same, so it can probably be adapted for the A & C models. the A-7E (navy) one by me should be around here too. Should be (fairly!!!) close to the others. edit: chcking the links, Rene beat me too it!!! <grin>
  17. yes again, one must know to work with layers.... generate, or use the planning map from (in this case Anotolia) I use the planning map 3, the biggest. Then, take the largest IME planning map (the 2048x one), drop it over the Anotolia map - it now becomes layer 1, and fade the opacity so you can see "through" it. super easy
  18. the wall on ALL maps is 80km in from the edges Jamie, you haven't see my IME rebuild?? While not fully modern ... it address a lot of stuff TK left out... http://combatace.com/files/file/15546-sf2i-israelme-terrain-remod/

  19. European Ground Objects

    Wrench replied to Geezer's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2

    all the industrial stuff works in SF2 with no issues -- I've used them MANY times and several already completed and uploaded terrains. The file formate (LOD) is the same across all the 3rd wire games, with the exception of stock "2" series lods being in unicode. Earlier ansi lods for 1stGen game work just fine in both. nice to see the weapons carrier!!!
  20. not really possible. It can be done, possibly, by user created single-missions. the map is far too small, with far to little sea room for CVBG (or SAGs) (minium 200-300 km radius is required). Also, none of the 1stGens really support carriers. Lacks the coding brought with SF2:NA.
  21. in the very first line, Spud.
  22. /Flight folder, maybe???
  23. don't use an add on formation ini the game will automaticaly revert to "stock". no need to extract nothing
  24. no, use "direct call" for them. You'll need to list them in the _types ini, and hand place at whatever target location is required.
  25. yes, remember how the game engine works... it looks in FOLDERS first, then the cats. Whatever is inside the folder takes precedence over any other files. In this case, a nations ini for the rebuilt/reconditioned Anotolia terrain, within said folder.
