Wrench

since they're just basic rectangles, squares and such .. very simple shapes, easy to render and low impact on frame rates

who ever did it, good for them! 45 less murderers around

if this is in sf2na, this is a know problem with a LOT of engine sounds. nobody know why, and TK isn't talking

if it needs max work, that would be the only problem. I had Raven look at one of planes, and they're all (most probably) max 2009 versions. So, they can only be worked on in MAX 09. OTH, I do have the max files now, so ... all we'd need is someone with 09 to do the fixing. (wish I know now to work the damn program...)

my ww2 china map would be perfect for that!

I see!! NOW it become clear... it's a conspiracy between 3rd Wire and the Roofing Unions of the World!!

I see you've forgotten to add Lake Toba on Sumatra aside from that, VERY IMPRESSIVE so far!! did you have a much fun "installing" the Mekong and it's delta as I did?? <groan> edit; just noticed no Hong Kong or Guangzhou???

no

I assume you're speaking of the TOD objects, not terrain object buildings (like the barracks, HQbuildings or evildamncommbuildings)?

humph, never left.

ANW terrain here: http://combatace.com/files/file/7615-american-north-west-4-seasons-rebuild/ conversion instructions here: http://combatace.com/topic/54856-converting-sfwo-terrains-to-sf2-usage/ be advised, do NOT use the environmentalsystem ini included in the terrain. You'll also have to remove it's statement from the main ini (AmericaNW.ini) That's designed for 08 level 1stGens, and is no longer valid in SF2 (and it don't work anymore anyways)

engine thing

For a test, and just for the moment, try ignoring the F-111s avionics ini, rewrite the pointer statement in the main ini to use the F-15s avionics ini. For this test, just use the stock 3W F-15A. We only want to see if the radar turns on. You wont have a ground mapping radar, just the air searches and such* You've already edited it to use the 70 dll, so try that. Don't worry about the various tgas, as they should be 'pulled' from their cat files when in game. I did something like this for another aircraft (a long time ago!) and I remember it working. So , give that a shot and see what's up. remember too, that avionics70 use "GM" for it's ground mapping statement in the avionics ini listing (use the Netz as a base) * GM can be added to the stock Eagles avionics ini too

ok. I now have ALL of Daniel's MAX files ... so, all we need are volunteer(s) to work the problem.

Glad you mentioned the Tu-2...made me look I think Daniel (Cocas) might have started at Tu-2 (see below). But it needs more 3d work -as can be seen by the props (or maybe it's just ini work?), and a skin of course I wonder it I can get Daniel's MAX files? Then the real trick is to get someone to actually WORK on it to finish it. (it's also be good for JRL's TSF, too)

fleas? but I don't think you want those!!! honestly, I don't think I've got anything left ... We are, of course, missing the one thing we truly need ... the straight decked Essex. But, what can you?

ok, since we don't know WHICH F-86F (or which Sabre in general), perhaps you could provide a link? IF it's for the A/E/F KAW pack, there IS a step left out of the instruction: I seem to have forgotten to add: "Copy/Paste the supplied Sounds folder DIRECTLY over your existing /Sounds folder. Allow the overwrite. But anyone seeing said folder should be able to figure out it needs to be added to their mods folder

http://combatace.com/topic/34386-adding-a-3rd-party-aircraft-where-a-stock-one-already-exists/ perhaps, to be of some assistance?

the zeps and sheds look VERY cool!!!

amending the statement above should read: -- I know the larger smoke most likely will effect frame rates, so maybe used sparingly? don't forget, you can also add destroyed objects to the terrain (like blown up vehicles, buildings, etc). All you need is to clone the objecet in the types ini, and add it as a ****d name. I've done this on several terrain, creating completely destroyed cities. Something like this:

ok, a couple of quick tests... since I had the particle system ini already pulled, I went down the list, testing a few likely suspects 1st picture uses the AircraftSmokeEffect (it's a bit on the large size; maybe good for burning buildings?) 2nd uses the GroundComponentSmokeEffect (a bit small methinks) now, mind you, this is in SF2, so I'd extract the particle system ini from the Flight cat, and start looking. I'm reasonably certain they should be the same for the most part edit: forgot to add the types entry, with the effects statements

should work "as is" in the _types ini; the statements I posted are FROM the types ini for many of my terrains (albeit for a docked boat).

working fine for me! Make sure your setting are right this is a godsend for building rail yards!! I did in 2 hours what used to take 8-10!! (expecially good for India and East Asia!) blessings on you Mue!!

secondary effect is what happens after the main, or destroyed effect. To add a persistent smoke (or at least until the player flys away), I'd recommend the VehicleFireEffect, as it's relatively small that smoking crater idea is BRILLANT!! what about using the ship smoke?, it should be darker (don't know if the crater would need a virtual engine), but in SF/SF2, when I place docked ships, I use the following entries: ExhaustEmitterName=ShipSmoke ExhaustPosition=0.00,-16.0,9.0 <--- of course, that'll be different! ExhaustEmitterSize=1.0

adding trees is done in the Terrain Editor. Both versions are (someplace!) here in the downloads section. (most likely, in SF/Wo* downloads). Look in the Tool/Utilities category There are 2, one desert only, and "WoE". The "WoE" version can be used for anything, includind desert, with very little work. It's slightly better for TOD object placement (and overall, slightly better)
