How to delete buildings on runways ?
Wrench replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
you'll also need the complete texture set ini FOR that terrain; either from centurion or build one yourself. In other words, the question is: Is the TE you're using COMPLETELY set up, with all the tiles (in bmp format) that the TFD needs to read??? All the inis necessary?? viewing the height field in the TE however, is virtually useless. The only adjustment that can be (truly) made is "Level Airfield". That's handled through the city list ini for that terrain (build a new one, with JUST the one airfield to be flattened) btw, there are 12 custom tiles in that screenie alone -

Wrench replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
city-airfield tiles are easy to make; I've done it lots of times. You will still have to create the new tiles, and new TODs for these 'mixed use' tiles. There's really nothing to it. Use the city/farm or city/desert 25, 50, & 75 transitions as your guidelines (in truth, you may only need the 50 & 75, depending on the "base" tile set -meaning desert, or Germany or Israel, etc) well my friend, no better time than the present to start!! Don't use the TFD too; it has to be done in the 3W Terrain Editor. Set up is NOT that hard. -

File Name: XvT/BoP Alliance Operation: Prelude To Yavin File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 20 November 2015 File Category: Star Wars Games XvT/BoP Alliance Operation: Prelude To Yavin 10/15/2015 For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the new GoG version This story (a 14 mission set) follows a small Alliance Task Group centered around CRS Nimbus and a secret Rebel Technical Intellegence Group, called the New Alderran Ship Yards (NASY). NASY is charged with examining and testing Imperial ships "acquired by other means". You'll see references to "H-Wings" or "K-Wings" or others, all of which we all know don't exist (and only appear in a few mission anyway!). That will be explained during the mission, so watch the radio messages. These are to be used/placed into your ...Balence of Power/Combat folder. All missions have been edited for fairness & balance, due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions where needed. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein mission set by?? circa 199?? Click here to download this file

XvT/BoP Alliance Operation: Prelude To Yavin
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Star Wars File Announcements
one of the missions, I can't remember which, has an extensive radio conversation between the 2 flight members on the "Empire's new super-weapon". I liked how it came out another, the raid on the shipyard iirc -- there's some quite humorous banter between the YW flight members -

1) place airfield on tiles with no buildings 2) use ONLY tiles specific for airfields, that have not attendant TODs (such as I do) and most assuredly, it needs major flattening -
Anybody knows this Runway Fix
Wrench replied to Major Bloodnok's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
remember, changing the HF statements in the terrain's data ini are global changes, while using the TE to flatten 1 (or 2 or 12) airfields are specific and localized height field changes but, hey! if it don't change nothing else...and it works :) -

Problem with Kfir TC-2 mod
Wrench replied to G128's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
unzip, drop the folder into your /Pilots folder you should also MOST DEFINATELY report the missing file to the uploader of the aircraft. The onus is on them to make 100% sure that ALL parts needed are included. Downloaders (end users) should NOT have to hunting around for something that should have been included in the first place -

Wrench replied to Major Bloodnok's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
1) always use the 3w terrain editor for airfield zone flattening. the TFD tool is not prescise enough in it's height adjustments (all or nothing) 2) minimum size for runways 1, 2,3,5,6 is 5km x 5km (must ALWAYS be square). 6 x 6 is also good, and needed for runway 4 3) as Baff said, you must have BOTH the updated HFD and TFD. I, too found that out the hard way. -

oh way cool! it REALLY does go together like a model kit (just like as shown in the Modeler's Data File book) is the restoration for display only, or will it be flying? thanks for posting. -
So, who want to build some airplanes?
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
some weeks ago, at my request, I received all the Daniels (Cocas) MAX files for our unfinished WW2 aircraft projects. I have also posted this list, and the request in the Modders Forum, but wanted to now show everyone and ask for the assist. I got 24 aircraft, in varying states of build ... some are more complete than others (the Beau looks to be 99% done - and would have been used for at least 5 late mark versions, 6 late, X, TFX early and late with and without thimble nose radars. the meshes are separate, by my request, making them removable via the data ini trick) Unfortunately, these are in MAX 2009 format; and with the little knowledge I have, don't know if they are down convertible to earlier versions. Since I have MAX 09, I can view them -- I just can't actually DO anything with them! So, below is a list of the aircraft. Only to good homes, with the intent of FREEWARE releases here at CA, to replace any/all of those not readily available to all. Other work (skinning, FM creation, etc) can be discussed at a later date. Interested parties please contact me via PM, or post in this thread. -

it's not exactly the same engine ... it's (FE2 & SF2) more optimized for Vista/7, using the dx10 shaders (but not all of them) check for a post by Fubar512 somewhere in the SF2 forums on vid card settings. I can't remember the exact title name, but something along those lines
