edit: something I should have checked, since the OUT file WAS included...AND I know how to read the damn things! to make the ailerons move, change the node names to LeftAileron RightAileron but DO NOT TOUCH THE AERODYNAMIC VALUES -- just those 2 lines without the underscore; that left over from lindr's original data ini. the horiziontal stabs will NEVER move, as they didn't cut the meshes for them, so they exist in a 'virtual' state Flaps don't deploy properly either ... they're piviot points must be limited somehow. below is the OUT...if someone can point out the horizon stab there .....

my 'quickie' version of the paki skin -- a did quick repaint (oh! the joy of having templates!) to remove the painted on stuff, and decaled it. still needs serials....where's Sandesh??? what is really needs, is a totaly new model, properly mapped. But we make due with what we have...

Yes, you MUST upgrade! IF you're staying with 1stGens -- which to be bluntly honest, just about none of the 'Name Modders' build for anymore. SF/Wo* is dead. The WoI expansion pak in 2009 (??iirc) is/was the end. Its not being supported by 3w any more, so...... there ya go! SF2 is already set up for it. 08 Parked planes: you can EASILY remove the game-generated statics for all terrains by a simple extraction of each of the airfield inis (there's 6 normally, plus the slightly renamed ones in GermanyCE & VietnamSEA), and delete the 'parking positions' lines. Mabye 5 minutes work. as to the nation limits.... [Terrain] TerrainFullName=Vietnam, Southeast Asia DataFile=VietnamSEA_data.INI TargetFile=VietnamSEA_targets.INI TargetTypeFile=VietnamSEA_types.INI MovementFile=VietnamSEA_movement.INI NationsFile=VietnamSEA_nations.INI LocationMap=VietnamSEA_Location.bmp WaterMap=VietnamSEA_Water.bmp BriefingText=VietnamSEA_briefing.INI DogfightFile=VietnamSEA_dogfight.INI DogfightOnly=FALSE Longitude=106 Latitude=16 LimitedNations=TRUE GroundObjectTexture=green right from an 08 level VietNamSEA.ini the terrain nations ini says who gets to play in that sandbox. also from 08 level WoV: [Theater] TheaterName=Southeast Asia Location001=South Vietnam Location001.Nation=South Vietnam Location002=Thailand Location003=North Vietnam Location004=Cambodia Location005=Laos Location006=China Location007=Burma Location008=Hainan Island Location009=Gulf of Tonkin Location010=South China Sea [LimitedNationList] FriendlyNation001=USAF FriendlyNation002=USN FriendlyNation003=USMC FriendlyNation004=SVietnam EnemyNation001=NVietnam what I don't remember is, does 08 support these statements, also in the terrains' main ini (just generic years shown): [AllowedMissionTypes] FriendlyMissionTypes=SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,ARMED_RECON,RECON EnemyMissionTypes=SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,RECON [AllowedDates] StartDate=9/1/1939 EndDate=12/21/2012* (*=joke! for the Mayans!)

sure thing! nice to add the export versions, at least for Pakistan! (also need a 3-tone USAF Vietnam era camo for the C-47! )

there's an NK and Paki skin around? Must've missed those! Assume they'er in the 1stGen D/Ls someplace? thanks for the fix Paulo ... some folks around here do nothing but bitch/gripe/complain and offer nothing in the way of positive motion in the direction of 'getting it right'

that's what the LimitedNations=TRUE statement does in a terrain's main ini, and what the terrains _Nations.ini does. been around since the 08 patch

meteor craters are hard to do, I'm here to tell...!!!

of course not! you all KNOW I'm not a 3d guy!!! If there's a LOD issue, that's up to Capun to fix!

you mean the trick with painting the borders on the transition tiles, or just in general? and, did yo still need advice/help in placing a tile?? to all: You're Very Welcome. Remember, at some point in the future, I may not be doing terrains or whatever. It's always good forethought to train replacements....

for me it's a monthly event; I'd just never thought to pull the card field strip it (so to speak). Not just a smoker, but a pet owner, so that adds another dimension as well ... cat fuzz! So Remember People: keep it clean and cool!

did you transfer the *tile-name*.TOD files as well? that's where the '3d objects (trees and buildng) are stored

yes, you'll have to edit the TOD callouts in EVERY tile listing of the terrain's data ini to get the correct Ter_Objects. (or just copy/paste the tile listing from Stary's GH3 data ini directly OVER the existing VietnamSEA data ini)

i don't think they're used (like a lot of the 'functions' in GCE TE -- conntect rivers, connect road, etc) At least, i've never used them!

SF2 uses seperat folders for each gun, in the /Objects folders. best way, is download the McGunnyPak, as it's got all the guns all set up for SF2 as such, the gundata.ini for all weapons dosen't exist anymore

ya know, I'm really surprised that NOBODY's thought of this before..... (yes, needs better 3-tone skin --- oh, Paulo!!!....!!

good to see ya back, man!!

truthfull, same here. I reeditated my WW2 airfield target inis, removed the parked statics, and just let the game populate them (of course, one can always add the stock destroyed models to terrains,too. If one wants wreck shoved in the corner someplace for eye candy)

I think whole years only, but mm/dd/yyyy may work - it does for aircraft, in the data inis you mean something like this? [Anti-Ship_ArgN] Nation=ArgentineNavy DefaultFor=Anti_Ship StartDefaultDate=07/04/1976 Loadout[01].WeaponType=Pod_SUE Loadout[01].Quantity=1 Loadout[02].WeaponType=AM39 Loadout[02].Quantity=1 Loadout[03].WeaponType=Tank_SUE Loadout[03].Quantity=1 Loadout[04].WeaponType= Loadout[04].Quantity=1 Loadout[05].WeaponType= Loadout[05].Quantity=1 can't hurt to try!

42106 is right one! and here's a little trick TK taught me for adding and then flattening airfields, when no citylist.ini exists, or you're adding a new one. Create a new citylistlini (I call my kj_*terrain-name*Cities.ini) then you just add the one place that needs flattening....the example below is from the Persian Gulf, now in the works [City001] Name=King Kahlid IAP <--name of base TextureType=2 Randomness=0 PositionX=240.000000 <--location coordinates, taken from debugged HUDData.ini) PositionY=284.000000 Width=6.000000 Height=6.000000 <--- average size for runways1,2,3,5,6 HasAirfield=TRUE runway4 (the semi-x 2 crossing airfield) is a different story, as it reques not 6 tiles, but 10-14 due to it's size save it IN the working terrain's subfolder in the TE (C:\Terrain Editors\Woe_ONLY_TE\GermanyCE) (please note that I name EACH terrain editor for the base terrain, and have one for everyone, plus specific versions for other terrains being worked on) another little hint for airfield placement --- do NOT put them within one tile widt of the ocean or other water feature. When flattened, they tend to really screw up the coastline. edit: adding screenie to illistate airfield tileing

hell of an impressive collection!!!

have you checked the main aircraft ini (F-16C-40, or whatever, .ini) for the required line: HangarScreen=*name-of-hangar-screen.jpg* (or bmp -- jpgs take less space)

or just build lo-poly statics, like we have for WW2 (look in the WW2 terrains folders)

might want to let TK know about that over at the 3rd Wire site .. so he can fix it BEFORE SF2NA comes out nice catch!! (and thanks for the walkaround book ... didn't have that one in my collection!)

mavherc: might want to give this a read: http://combatace.com/topic/20789-how-to-make-ai-planes-flyable/ lots of still usefull information in the SF/Wo* Knowledge Base

remember guys, I didn't build the model ... what ever is wrong with the lod, is Insky's fault. And there's no support from them available here, due to their banishment If you find something that's fixable, why not post said fix??? I just assembled it "as is", with whatever I could to do straighten things as best I could.
