Japanese Spitfires!
Wrench replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
harder than hell to find an unused Kitai number, ain't it!!!??? So, this is an IJN Spit from 343 Kokutai (wonder what code name ATIU would have assigned it??) edit: missing the yellow ID stripe in the leading edges. those went into effect mid/late 42 wrench kevin stein -

TextureList won't load !?
Wrench replied to Rapadelic's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
get rid of those 3-ways around the cities ... that was the missing tile was shown above. Retile the city edges with the GC 25/50/75. Try to stay away as much as possible from the screwy RGC/RCG tiles. They suck. Also, you city isn't linked to the road network, you'll need teh GC-RoadS for those. Linking roads is a f***ing NIGHTMARE!!!! ... wait till the New Korea comes out, and you'll see. The entire penninsula is linked by a massive road network ... from the Sea of Japan (and IN Japan too,) to the Chinese and Russian borders, and points in-between. Remember, too, there are NO R-series road tiles (although, easy enough to make) and, you might want to consider doing this (look at the screenie) to all tiles in the TE folder. Yes, I AM a fracking genius!!! (why do you think mine come out aligned perfectly, everytime?) -

Quick question
Wrench replied to Rapadelic's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
kfrge sent me a basic terrain; but it needs to be completly retiled (had an importation problem on my end) no time frame ... so maybe next year?? And will be released for SF2 (but, like all terrains, with <45 seconds of editing, convertable to 1stGens) wrench kevin stein -
Always the best idea!! wrench kevin stein

do you have the ww2 nations ini? It really shouldn't matter, but ... you know what with me being the High Priest of CYA... wrench kevin stein -
If it was placed wrong, moving it to the SF/Wo* downloads section is no big deal. Let's wait for confirmation from the uploader, and then if needed, move to the correct section Ok, jahm...the ball's in your court. Where is this supposed to go? wrench kevin stein

Update the new New Zealand terrain for SF2
Wrench replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
already ipmorted the J-series TODs, plus GJ and RJ transitions. Got some real dense forests on the mountains. Gotta love Star's trees! Had to (re)make a cityport tile last night for Napier's harbor. Hawke's Bay airport is misplaced (furthr west and a little south) of it's real life position, due to the rivers and ocean proximity. (screenies later) The reason I asked, is 1) Local Talent -knows the area well 2) I'm backed up trying to finish off the Cuba terrain for OTC, and I promised Flogger23 two years ago Panama/Central America would be next. 3) easily trainable person ( ) If one can do skins....hell, I taught Piecemeal how to target! Look what he's done! I've GOT to finish Cuba; I can have a fully rebuilt NZ, probably, by the end of May, if lucky. If you all can wait that long, it'll be worth it. As always wrench kevin stein -

No Ammo in Guns
Wrench replied to ShrikeHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
are you missing the IJN/IJAAF/Axis guns from the gundata ini???? IIRC, my WW2 weapons pak should have all of them listed. It's somewhere in the downloads section, under "Weapons Paks" or something like that The US guns are working cause the 30 & 50 cal are stock weapons wrench kevin stein -
the OTC map rebuild is over 2/3rds completed ... why not just wait for that one? wrench kevin stein

considering the map is/was for TORCH .... Spain is just there so Gibralter can have a place to be btw, the VietnamSEA tiles would have been MUCH better for use on the Carribiean/Central America region ... (that's what I'm using on the Central America map. Not perfect, but a lot closer than european/germany) wrench kevin stein

New Zealand
Wrench replied to tonix's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
all being taken care of .. I even split it further into Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean. City/airport names, etc, spelling corrections being done. Sea levels adjusted, and missing tiles replaced (mostly caused by over use of 3-way transitions -city/rock/grass or grass/city/rock tiles), some areas retiled to fit (Wellington for example), rivers added. Even stripped it of the supplied tiles, and let it pull from the GermanyCE.cat; reduces folder/download size. Like been said before, it's a GREAT first effort -on the terrain itself!!- the mountains are really cool! But (oh! that word!) further development of the targets ini (acurized targting & tiling) is required, and already in the works. The best terrain guy around here is already on it, despite having 3 others well developed, and in the pipeline (Central America, Cuba, MidwestUSA) Tonix, I'd suggest reading my targeting tutorials in the Knowledge Base. And studying GoogleEarth images of region. some screenies are up in the SF2 Forums, in dtmdragons theard about the terrain wrench kevin stein -
Getting 3rd party planes to show up in campaigns...
Wrench replied to 33LIMA's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
First off, Welcome Back! 2nd, Please!!! DO NOT POST QUESTION IN THE KNOWLEDGE BASE!!! (thank you!) It's where the answers are. Questions go here, in the regular Forums ------------------- Since I'm not a campaign guy, I can't answer accuratly. But I do know they must be added to the existing campaign ini. I"m sure someone with the right answer will be along shortly! wrench kevin stein -

Wrench replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I must correct myself ... retiling is NOT done. I decieded to go ahead and do some additions. Hope you like rivers*! Also added a couple more cities (right now, just reworking North Island -- south will come after). Swapped out a few airfields ... far too many 1/5/6s are being used, instead of smaller 'aerodromes/airports' -they are also named wrong in the original Targeting, however as I don't have enough time to really do it up right, I need a local volenteer ... how about it Dan? You up to learning?? Might as well recruit the local talent! If not, I can do some very basic targeting, and after Cuba and Central America and American Midwest, go in and really detail it (want to add the Weta Studios, and The Shire!!! btw ... can a 3dguy build me Minas Tirith???) wrench kevin stein *=unfortunately, due to terrain countours, and tilesize issues, cannot add all of them
