Wrench replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

no, the correct quote was "Oh, thank G*D". Watched it again the other night. Pity it wasn't the full cut, that had Enola tripping over the plague Hillary placed on the summit of Everest It's a special terrain project that Fub's wanted, that WILL be released.

figuring out the mapping on the skin was a nightmare ... expecially for the tail hook! Kept coming out green!! you'll note they more-or-less follow the Isreali camo pattern ... laziness sometimes pays off!!! Now....if some 3d Guru want to build a GPU-5 lod ... I've got all the ini work already done (just need a lod that fits 'betwix the legs. -

ships float above water
Wrench replied to colmack's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
looks like an update is in order; this is from the wate section in DBS: [WaterTextureMaterial] //UseEffectShader=TRUE //EffectShaderName=WaterEffect.fx EffectShaderName=terWaterEffect.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE DepthBufferWrite=FALSE RenderedInOrder=TRUE AlphaTestEnabled=TRUE CullMode=CLOCKWISE LightEnabled=TRUE SpecularEnabled=TRUE EmissiveEnabled=FALSE Note the 'FALSE" have to fix that -
Hey Daddyairplanes
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
for S & Gs, have you tried using the Netz avionics in with the old Team Viper birds? Seems to work pretty good with the Blk15 cockpit on the Paki version just a thought -- as none of the old hud stuff is working for me, even after updating the avionics and cockpit inis to use SF2 materials -
F-8J_69 Wing pylons
Wrench replied to GodsLt's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
you attempting the impossible, in regards to the pylons. They're part of the aircraft model (ie: the LOD), and aren't moveable outside 3dMax. How about trying this line on the relevant hardpoints (as seen on the Scooters:) RackLimitOutsideOnly=TRUE you'll only have 4, but it's better than massive clipping issues as to the gunsight, are you referencing BOTH the Corsairs cockpit and avoinics inis?? -

ships float above water
Wrench replied to colmack's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
which versions of DBS and Libya? (they've gone through a couple of changes) Look in the terrain data inis, you should see this for ALL sea and sea/land transitions tiles: HeightMapScale=2.000000 both terrains should have full black painted _HM.bmps for the sea, sea/land transition tiles -

Black Sea Terrain in SF2
Wrench replied to FLOGGER23's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
black sea uses GermanyCE naming conventions for the airfields. If you point it to the GermanyCE cat, the problem should go away. alternatively, extract ALL the germanyce airfield data inis from the latest patch level, and toss them all into the black sea terrain folder, then you can point it to any cat -
WWII Japanese AAA problem
Wrench replied to Ice Man's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
missing the proper skin bmps did you create seperate folders for thse ground objects, ala 08 patch? If so, you'll need to locate the correct/matching skins. look for JAP.bmp JAPSOLIDER.bmp weapons.bmp for the Type 88 and Type 96 AA units -
did you add the engine sound wav to the /Sounds folder??? A reminder to all: the Knowledge Base for SF/Wo*, and SF2 contains the basic information to mod ALL the 3rd Wire games. It's HIGHLY reccomended reading. http://combatace.com/forum/99-thirdwire-woewoiwovsf-1-knowledge-base/ http://combatace.com/forum/268-thirdwire-sf2-series-knowledge-base/ everything works exactly the same, just in the 'NextGens' (SF2/FE2), the location of the "mods folder" --where everything BUT core game operations files are-- is in a different place. wrench kevin stein

polish MiG -29
Wrench replied to Ngr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Yup, time to start learning those skinning skills. If you don't have/can't get Photoshop, get Gimp. It's free, and does pretty much everything that PS does. what you'll need to do, is create a couple of new layers on whichever skin bmp needs the RedStar painted out on one layer, you'll redraw the panel lines on another layer, you'll redraw the rivet lines (if any) on still another layer, you'll 'color match' the background gray, and paint over the RedStar then, using the opacity slider, drop down the panel and rivet lines opacity to match the look of the existing ones. flatten layers, and save the skins (alternatively: one could now add the required insignia TO the skin bmp, and not have to worry about decal placements) if one dont know how to draw panel and rivet lines, simmerspaintshop.com has EXCELLENT tutorials. Read them, and practice them. we all started somewhere ... it's your turn now!!! (after all, those of us that've been around for so long will be needing replacements at some point in time ... we aren't going to be doing this forever) as to decals, they're not too diffucult to figure out placements ... use a 'known location' (example: the lights on the wings, and move inboard). It may take an hour or so, but it quite easy to do, after you've done it once or twice. Also, study any decal inis for the aircraft; someone may have already plotted their positions. wrench kevin stein
