Well it's official
Wrench replied to Romflyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
a new set of screwdrivers is always welcomed .... especially if they're Snap-On!! -------- along with SF2:NA, I can't help but wonder if, along with the 'new' terrain engine, if we'll be getting a new terrain editor. Badger: do a search here in the Forums for SF2: North Atlantic (aka "The SF2 Tomcat Game") -
HAWK_HIPIR model?
Wrench replied to AGOSTINO's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
considering Pasko's original HAWKs are from 2003 .... . It's possible that bunkerized lod may have been reverse engineered from the original HIPIR lod (adding it's nodes to the 'stand', and thereby maintianing the defective mapping. in short, there's no way to fix it without the MAX files. One could (if clever enough) always create a new skin, hex edit the lod to name change/adjust/whatever/ the HIPIR skin pointer to try and fix it. Mabye use the PanelFinder as a skin, and see what lines up where. and why would anyone NEED to be that close to the object to see the defects? Personally, it just ain't worth the effort and time wasted. I've never, and will never, use that bunkerized one. HAWKs are meant to be moble, and moved around as needed. (having a copy USArmy FM on air defenses helps that respect) Dosen't mean they weren't used in fixed sites (as they were all through Europe and Asia), its just an un-needed thing -

File Name: F-4D (78), North Dakota ANG "The Happy Hooligans" by Chris File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 14 December 2011 File Category: F-4 F-4D (78) USAF, North Dakota Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak = For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Recommended) *Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4D_78* Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by "Chris" in 2005, brings it to SF2. This skin represents the 178th FIS, 119th FIG North Dakota Air National Guard, aks "The Happy Hooligans". All decals used herein are from this original pak. The skins are stock, with a new-made _5.bmp to add the painted on fin stripe Other mods included are the data and userlist inis, with corrected 'end-of-service-dates', as many ANG units seem to have used the D until the early 1990s. Also, the canopy has been activated via the usual manual animation key (shift/0). Couldn't pass that one up! For grins and giggles, jpg copies of the skin maps are included .. in case someone wants to save HD space. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The original 2005 readme is included. Any mistakes/errors are all mine. Happy Landings!! wrench kevin stein ps: having placed their home base on the terrain I working on, couldn't resist having more Hooligans! Click here to download this file

Texture experiments = i am bored too
Wrench replied to ErikGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
some interestering stuff huh? Wonder how TK's done it!! --- while not bored, and speaking of 'having to make new textures'.....had to do 6-8 new tiles for to fix those incredibly small 'rivers' for the IME tile set (I mean, really... I can pee across those tiny things....) the bad part, is where I've used them, might not ever be seen, and where they're needed, would mean rebuilding 30-35 finished target areas. making new textures, for whatever use is just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!! -

What If Screenshot Thread.......
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
hmmmm... you could try a simple skin bmp rename on the one I did (J-UK) http://combatace.com/files/file/12305-f-4juk-phantom-ii/ see it it works. They're all pretty much mapped the same. nose might be slightly different, but that's an easy fix with Ant's templates -

A4F template?
Wrench replied to Stratos's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yes, as stated a couple billion times, there are NO templates for ANY stock aircraft, except for those we make ourselves. sometime they get uploaded (ie: Sundowner's Rhinos, stock Netz by me), sometimes they don't. Sometimes they just plane don't exist Time to breakout Photoshop, and start building those layer...
