Well it's official
Wrench replied to Romflyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
talk about behind the curve... Hawaii and Japan (well, southern half the Home Islands, Korea and Ryukus) have been terrains for about 5 years ... look in the SF1/Terrains downloads section. be interesting, though ... but methinks a LOT more difficult, as this terrain will be LOD driven. Can't wait to study it! -

Aircraft Carriers question
Wrench replied to frtyphoon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
because the Nimitz start of service date is probably wrong for the CVN-68: [MissionData] NationName=USN ServiceStartYear=1975 ServiceEndYear=2050 GroundObjectRole=WARSHIP Availability=VERY_RARE FormationSizeBase=1 FormationSizeVariation=0 for CVN-75: [MissionData] NationName=USN ServiceStartYear=1998 ServiceEndYear=2050 GroundObjectRole=WARSHIP Availability=VERY_RARE FormationSizeBase=1 FormationSizeVariation=0 dates and nations are incorrect in the released versions and needed correcting (notable lack of research, there) -
Series 1 in Windows 7 64-bit

Also: don't install to any of the C:/Program Files folders for Win7 (and probably Vista too), install ONLY to the root of C: ie: C:\Wings Over Europe this eliminates the permissions issues, and has no effect on the game -

.....Tiles.
Wrench replied to SidDogg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
what exactly to be done? just replace an existing or create a new one for a specific use? for instace, on the MidWest map, I needed new farm & city river tiles (as the original river was too small) I took a germanyce RivS, RivT, C-RivS, C-RivT, and create a psd with them as the underlying layer (bottom layer is the sea tile, for it's matching water) the example below is a city-river-farm tarnsition i started with a sea the bottom, duplicated it. the dropped the germany tile on top, then the ISME city/farm tile on top of that. Then, lower the opacity of the city layer to see the river and using a small eraser tool (soft round 5) and follow the river banks and erase the ISme city parts that cover them. Since the germansea is a different color, I then erase the middle section of the river on THAT tile, leaving the banks their sandy/brown color. (repaint as necessary). Bring the opacity back to normal on the city tile, to see how they match. Do this back and forth until the river looks like it should. The flatten the layers and save as whatever name fits since this has water, it'll need a tga, but that's for anothr time what kind of farm tile are you tring to create? -

Wrench replied to SidDogg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
well, not so much 'jungle', it how the tiles are named by TK series tile name: GermanyG* = grass/farmland GermanyJ* = forest (ie: jungle) GermanyC* = city GermanyR* = 'rock' (or plains/grasslands) GermanyA* = alpine, snow covered GermanyS* = sea (includes sea/land transitions) Germany **Riv = river tiles don't forget, Stary's beautiful 4-season set for the final version (depending on where the snow falls in Japan -- it'll look funny in Kokura) -

Wrench replied to SidDogg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ok, let's narrow it down... which tile set are you using for Japan? (for the KAW terrain, we used the 'germanyce' named set, but the tiles were custom made by Stary) Germany or Vietnam (I used vietnam for the WW2 'okinawa) it is a farm/city, farm/river, farm/river/city, farm/jungle, etc. once i know the tile set, I can answer better -

Wrench replied to SidDogg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
oh, sure...ask about the one tile type I haven't really worked with!! the only mountain types I've done are the snow to jungle/rock (VeitnamJR-Snow 25/50/75) for the Andes on the Panama map
