Creating .DDS Damage Textures.
Wrench replied to liamp51's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
don't they have to be called out inside the lod, just like skin bmps??? try this first... convert you damage bmp (or whatever) to tgas, 24bit +8bit alpha (32bit total), call them out as usual (old style) [DamageTexture] DamagedPostFix=_Holes.tga DestroyedPostFix=_Shredded.tga (ignore the _shreded) and see if those work. I've made quite a few damage tgas, and they always seem to work. Mind you, EACH damage tga MUST have the exact same name as EACH skin bmp (I cheat, and create them FROM each skin bmp, so the holes actually match the aircraft parts), and the MUST be in the main folder of the aircraft, whre all the inis and such go wrench kevin stein -
Another "help" moment..
Wrench replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Canadair IS correct, if there is no route defined for a mission type, the loadout usually defaults to nothing or sometimes a-a loadout. I can whip out some routes first thing next week, if you want, for CAS and A-S (that IS gonna look a bit odd....just pretend the ship is on railroad tracks or something) -

Loadout help for the Mirage F1C
Wrench replied to umm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I think you need to spend MUCH more time in the Knowledge Base ...what parts do what. Especially the various data ini (aircraft, groundobject, weapons --there's one for each type) Readup on the aircrft data inis. -

Jet number (serial number) of the world.
Wrench replied to umm's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
shayad's site is EXTREAMLY thin on some the early IIAF/IRIAF serials (almost nothing at all on the Jugs, T-jets and Sabres) btw, the F-5A/E, F-4D/E and F-14As that are out already have historically correct serials, some even down the TAB they were assigned to final result: spend lots of hours scouring the net. Also, i'd reccomend the following Osprey books: Iranian Phantoms Units Iranian Tomcat Units lists all the serials, also right down the TAB assigned wrench kevin stein -

SF2 FM for Wolf's P-38L

Planning Maps
Wrench replied to gillg's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
I'd like to found out "How To.." as well. The old SFMap works most of the time, but to create the old style maps, you need to run the exe from inside a 1stGen; absolutely does NOT work from inside SF2 at all. Now, even in 1stGens, every once-in-a-while, it gives a runtime error, and crap out. In essence, we need a new map generator. wrench kevin stein- 1 reply

Sargasso sea or Devil's Triangle?
Wrench replied to dsawan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Well, then I suggest you start work on it, eh?? you'll need 2 islands at opposite ends of the map for the airbaes (one for each side is the minimum game requriement), each one just big enough for a Runway4 -that'll allow large aircraft to operate. Sounds like a good projet for you -
Another "help" moment..
Wrench replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I beg to differ on the movements ... there are, yes, NO CAS locations, but there are ARMED_RECON routes. I'd download my Rage Upgrade Pak, as it adds these There's very few terrains around that I havn't "fiddled with" !!! -
P-2H Neptune MLD (Netherlands Naval Air Service)
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: P-2H Neptune MLD (Netherlands Naval Air Service) File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 22 April 2011 File Category: Other P-2H "Neptune" RNNAS (MLD) Skin/Decals Pak -- For SF2, Any & All -- This skin and decal pak is for the P-2H Neptune, and recreates aircraft from 320 Squadron, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service (aka Marine-Luchtvaartdienst or MLD), in the 1970s. Designed for the recently released SF2 upgrade, which can be found here: http://combatace.com/files/file/11914-p-2h-neptune-skinsdecals-and-ini-update-pak/ (yes, shameless self-promotion!) This adds another user's skin, with (hopefully!) historically accurate markings and serials. Another minor tweek, is the canopy glass tga has now been made fully transparant. As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install. A note about the canopy glass tga is in here too! Happy Hunting! Wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file -
