New in This!
Wrench replied to Phil56's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
since I don't have WoI installed anymore (having moved, like most folks to the SF2 series), I don't recall IF there's a 'switch' point in the Nations.ini (tho, I'm sure there might be), that turns on/off the old EAF and UARAF roundells. To make certain, you'll need to extract the Nations.ini from the FlightData.cat, using Skypat's extrator tool, and scroll through it looking for the date switch. I'm pretty certain TK uses that in 1stGEns too; this is the Egypt nation statement from teh SF2 nations ini: Name=Egypt DisplayName=Eqyptian Air Force Alignment=ENEMY PilotNameList=NamesArabic.lst RankList=RanksRAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=SovietFighter Formation.Attack=SovietFighter Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber Formation.Transport=SovietBomber Formation.Tank=SovietTank Formation.MobileAD=SovietAD PilotTrainingStandard=POOR GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str ActiveDate=1971 AlternateDecal=Egypt_OLD58 <--- and futher down... // Egypt 58-71 [Nation076] Name=Egypt_OLD58 ActiveDate=1958 AlternateDecal=Egypt_OLD48 // Egypt 48-58 [Nation077] Name=Egypt_OLD48 so, they should be there, based on WHAT year you fly in Also, if you could REDUCE the font size in your posts, please. The larger fonts make it look like your shouting, and it's considered a bit rude. Thanks! wrench kevin stein -

any particular country? TK's covered pretty much most of them (depending on the game, sometimes) there's 2 ways to add the 'national insigina', 1) paint it on the skin (harder) 2) use a decal -- then create a new, or edit an existing decals ini (and textureset ini) to add the country's insigina to the aircraft Also, since you're new to the game (and Welcome!), we tend to point newcomers to the handy dandy Knowledge Base, which has lots of info on modding/changing the games. wrench kevin stein -

Roundels Trouble
Wrench replied to tor's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
pathways are incomplete, and the AIRCRAFT folder name is incorrect ... you need the FULL path in the decals ini (pre-06 used the other method) it should read: /NAME of Aircraft/Name of Skin/D/Name of Decal The NF12 that I made was RAF WW2 only; if you're going to try and convert to WoI (not really reccomended, btw), you'll have to complelty rewrite the decals ini to use/match the IDF decals wrench kevin stein btw: they'd be FB.VI, not NF12s; allenjb did the IDF Mossies, based off Pasko's original FB.VI, so you may even have the wrong airplane! -
Yeah, that's pretty much what we call "theft" around here; and something we frown upon -- HEAVILY ... didn't even have the decency to say 'this IS Marcfighters Mi-8, with all his original stuff -- even the readme that original from 2008' 1) you DO NOT upload other people stuff, expecially when it's available already -without their permission 2) you REALLLY might want to read the "Before You Upload a Mod" sticky at the VERY TOP of this forum. There are MINIMUM requirement for EVERY SINGLE upload that made 3) You don't take other people's stuff and upload it -- man, what IS wrong with people these days?? File will be hidden, then deleted. Do something like this again, and the consequences are most dire -- new member or not. wrench kevin stein

Opening Pilot's Helmets Visors
Wrench replied to stingray77's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
we been 'opening' the visor for years ... (well, I have at least, since 2004. Meaning: adding the face to bmp) The visor cannot be opened or closed; you can only paint in the face. I've got several pilot figures with 'open' visors The face goes in the upper left corner, suitably sized to fit -- takes a little doing, but not too difficult wrench kevin stein -

Targets submerged into the ground?
Wrench replied to Pappa Goat's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
as the issue will be pretty much only on the sea/land transition tiles, try the Black Painted HM bmps, available (someplace!) in the d/l sections -- check under Terrains. And set the HMS= to 2.0000 Old problem, induced by the 08 patch. There was a LOT of discussion on it at the time, and there should be some fixes posted in the KB thread "Things You Need To Update" wrench kevin stein -
