SF 2 EFFECTS, SOUNDS, DECALS
Wrench replied to ignacioc91's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
the mods folder probably want to start here, Ignacio: http://combatace.com/forum/268-thirdwire-strike-fighters-2-series-knowledge-base/ with particular attention to the "What is the mods folder" and "what new in SF2" threads basically, it's the same as SF/Wo*, but just in a different location -
Decal bleeding : does it bring issues?
Wrench replied to Cliff7600's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
are you sure??? if the tga was defective, it usually turns the entire mesh either transparent or black. Open meshes cause the colors to seep (bleed) along their faces, like paint running down the wall. might help to know the plane, as a good number of Pasko's old birds do this, as do some DAT birds too a screenie would help, too. -

SF2 WW2 Pilot Figures Pack 9/13/2013 -- Something for Everyone -- = For SF2, Any and All = *Note: these pilot figure may also work in 1stGen SF/Wo*. Be advised, that at pre-08 levels, folderized pilots won't work. YOu'll have to seperate the all out, like as was done in the Distant Past at 06 level* This is a compliation of pretty much ALL the WW2 Pilot figures available for use in the various aircraft mods now available (and by inference), and those to come. It is a comglomeration of work dating back nearly to the very beginnings of SF modding. The names of some of the contributors are Lost to History, but we thank them all. For those that I could remember, see "Credits" section below. This pack contains some 28+ pilot and crew figures, included the "FakePilot". This is JUST pilot/crew figures. Those "devices" that use the FakePilot method for adding radar pods, or pylons are NOT included. Aircraft Seats are also NOT included. See the enclosed "pilots in this pack.jpg" for the listing. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein -

SF2 WW2 SB2C Helldiver, "Blank" Skin Pak

File Name: SF2 WW2 SB2C Helldiver, "Blank" Skin Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 12 September 2013 File Category: SBD / TBD / TBF / SB2C SF2 WW2 SB2C Helldiver, "Blank" Skin Pak 9/12/2013 - For SF2 WW2 and Whenever Players - This pak contains a set of 3 "blank" markingless skins for Veltro2K's Helldivers. They are: SB2C-1: Standard 3-tone (note: the -1 uses a different -s map due to the 3 bladded prop) SB2C3 thru 5: Standard 3-tone Overall Dark Gloss Navy Blue (The enclosed screenshot is a -5 in 3-tone. All others are identical to those already available, but minus the US Star-bar) As stated, there are NO national or squadron markings (ie: for USN use) of any kind. This will allow skinners (and WhatIfers) to create/recrate the various squadron and national markings via decal placement. With the several skins out already, decal placement locations have pretty much all been pre-plotted. A decent skinner should easily be able to figure out any others. As always, fairly simple install instructions are included. So, please read them. REMINDER: these are skin maps ONLY!!! YOU will have to build the other required inis and decals. Happy Skinning!

Sim lite? How about Sim None.
Wrench replied to Heck's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Heck, you're still going to need the Desert terrain cat for a LOT of terrains that reference it.** however, it's quite easy to use the old 08 Level one, you just need to extract the data ini into the terrain folder, and may the necessary changes to bring it to SF2 shader levels. If you need help with that, let me know. **= a desert terrain folder will need to be created in every mods folder, and the full desert.cat placed within it. OR... place desert.cat in the central game install C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Terrains THEN, extract main and data inis, place in individual **name of mods folder**/Terrains/Desert folder, and adjust the data in from there. Actually, quite easy. Works in FE/FE2 as well. -
What If Screenshot Thread.......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
that's why I removed the painted on markings. I KNEW you all would come up with something!! just wish the damn pilot's canopy wasn't linked to the gear. Rather have it as a separate, player controlled animation. but, we take what we get. if a plane blue skin (either in USN 3 tone or overall gloss blue) is wanted by anyone, let me know. I may do them anyway, so other skinners have a base. -

Most mechanics (and ex-ones too), are all wrench-benders. -

BAe Hawk T.1A Update Pak = For SF2, Any & All = *Note: requires an install with access to the F-100D cockpit. May not work in stand-alone SF2:I* Fully merged installs should have no problems* This is a full, complete pak, with several skins, decals (and LOTS of new decalstoo!). All sorts of fun stuff! This verson replaces any and all others. Skins included are: RAF (standard Euro-wraparound camo, 243 Sqdn) 1975-82 Gray (generic RAF gray, 19 Sqdn) 1983-1991 Black (RAF 208 Squadron) 1992-to date *rebuilt completly, based on Marcfighters* Desert (for UAE) Finnish Camo (for FAF, HävLLv 41) (in fact, ALL the skin are new builds!) The RAF skins are 'year specific', and will change over when selecting the proper years. Decal randomization for all skins is set to TRUE. A new userlist ini is included; it may not be fully accurate, and changes/correction are ENCOURAGED!!! Included is also a set of new tail letters & Skull badge,but unused, as used on 100 Squadron's Hawks (as seen on the new loading screen) A revamped SF2 version of my 'boxart' Hangar screen is here as well. Other ini edits fiddle and tweek things in the data, loadout and avionics ini. The avionics include a gun-ranging radar and audio-only RWR (not entirely sure as it IF they had them, but it imporves Playability). The canopy is operated via The Usual Suspect animation key, Shift/0. As stated above, the cockpit has been switched to the F-100Ds; it's not perfect by any means, but works QUITE well, and seems a bitcloser than the F-86 and/or A-4Bs used before. All weapons (Aden gunpod, drop tanks) are included, as is the /Gun for the gunpod.Loadouts and Mission statements have been adjusted to match, as best as possible, Real World usage. Also, with expecial thanks to Russo, for he whipped out a new lod for us that fixes the shadow issues. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! Happy Landings! wrench kevin stein -

Stock A-1H/J pylons
Wrench replied to Corktip_14's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yeah, cause the data ini gets "twerked" with every patch (as seen recently with the decal issues on the AD3/4 and A-1H/J paks) but still, commenting out the node name would be the quickest -
SF2 WW2 Curtiss A-25A Shrike Pak
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: SF2 WW2 Curtiss A-25A Shrike Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 11 September 2013 File Category: SBD / TBD / TBF / SB2C SF2 WW2 Curtiss A-25A Shrike Pak -- Something for the WW2 players (and What Ifers, too, maybe?...) -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = US Army Air Force version of the USN's SB2C-1C Helldiver dive bomber. The aircraft has been 'de-navalized', with the removal of the hook, and has non-folding wings. Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Serial numbers are historically accurate for this aircraft. All markings on this aircraft are decals. This'll give the "What Ifers" a fairly blank canvas to create other fictional land-based users. It should be noted, this aircraft NEVER served in a combat capacity, and never left the Continental US. They were regulated to training and target-tow duties. Don't know what you're going to do with it, but here it is. This package is complete, with the aircraft, engine sound (AvHistory). Pilot figure and weapons (including guns) are NOT included. These are reused from the various USN SB2C paks. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

Need some 3d modeling help
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
what I need (well, would like to have -- as I don't like demanding things) are some soviet strategic rockets; something like the R7. they don't need to do anything, just sit on a lunch pad as a terrain object, waiting to be blown up. A very simple shape (I hope!) with a minimalistic skin. I could also use a building/object something like as seen below ... (once I locate WHERE the installation is "rumored" to be...) TIA!
