How to install mods in windows 10?
Wrench replied to jotaluc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
it's always plural in SF2. Effects Objects Sounds Terrains Hookers & Blow ========== Ok, since there ARE differences between Win7 and Win10, would someone be kind enough to write a tutorial on the proper installations of mods to Winge10 mods folders. Then send it to me, and I'll post it in the SF2 Knowledge Base. It about damn time we have something like this!!! -

RWR problem
Wrench replied to strahi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Exactly. I can give 2 examples of terrains like that (known actual positions of specific types of SAMs) right off the top of my head -- my rebuilds of Cuba OTC & Persian Gulf there's a google earth kmz that, literally, show the exact positions of not only SAMs -and what type- but the various search radar locations and their types, for most the planet!!. -
Buying RAZBAM - A-6 Intruder for the TW series
Wrench replied to KaktusBonus's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
This may need to be discussed among the Moderator & Admins. Raz's post clearly states it abandonware. But what are the implications of re-posting and/or sharing what was originally payware. (not withstanding the facts that most, if not all, his SF1 products have some serious internal LOD issuse, most notably the infamous shadow 'tractor beam) -
Not just to us here in The States, but I want to wish everyone, all our members all across this planet a safe and Happy Thanksgiving (even if you don't celebrate it !!! <g>) With the shitstorm that 2020 has been, we need to take a breath and be grateful for what we have, and didn't get (C19). Everyone stay safe, stay smart, and be cool!! Kevin "Wrench" Stein

How to install mods in windows 10?
Wrench replied to jotaluc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
yeah, still in the works. Hope to get back to it after anniversy edition of ODS is completed (terrain wise with Menrva). All the aircraft are done (with a newer replacement for an older model being worked on for release -hopefully- sometime next year. Depends on the modelers other commitments - which are many) of course, if someone want to build a NEW freeware P-63 -- i have all the decals ready -
How to install mods in windows 10?
Wrench replied to jotaluc's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
nope, down in the program files region are the CORE game files. nothing goes there. look up (now, I'm not famialiar with w10) but probably in the /users/*yourname*/savedgames folder. my image below, while not the, gives some idea of the pathway If I'm wrong, I'm sure one of our other members WITH w10 can give you the exact path (which is sure is slightly different) -
RWR problem
Wrench replied to strahi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yup. if they're a 'direct call', like you place an SA6 battery and it's associated radars on the terrain, they go into stealth mode. they don't show on the rwr. you have to use the generic tags in the _targets.ini and pray that the userlist places the correct units used by that country for those of us that have full listing of what types are used in specific locations, it's a serious fuck up in the game engine. -
Transparency problem
Wrench replied to jack33's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
off topic: why not??? If mods are permission only, Sophocles is a pretty good dude. I'm sure if asked, he'd authorize it back to topic -

Is there a way to solve this issue?
Wrench replied to citizen67's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
there's a LOT of stock 3W aircraft with 'flat tires' too (the Phantoms come to mind). They all seem to work fine. As someone that's also done the LG editing, and really fouled things up, sometimes its just not worth it!! seems to fall into the 'better left un-messed with' category!! :) -
Mass deletion for attachments?
Wrench replied to Wrench's topic in Site Support / Bug Reports / Suggestions
NP boss! Had to ask -
I was asked about this by EricJ, and took a look at my own (which needed some culling). Apparently, we can only do them one at a time. Is there anyway to be able to select *a given number*, and do a mass delete? thanks boss! wrench

Help from any Gimp user around...
Wrench replied to RustyKurnass's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
so if i read this right, the primary question is: "can I create a single layer of new rivets, then duplicate, move or flip if necessary to fit the other tail fin maps?" that answer is a yes. i've done it hundreds of tmes -
SF2 Harbor Crane
Wrench replied to krfrge's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
yeah, i tested this for piecemeal a week or two ago, and they're not complete... below is what all 4 of them look like in-game. off the top of my head, i'd say incorrectly exported lods, or possible wrong format (?) -

good on you!!! -
Older mods from "column5" website
Wrench replied to MiG85's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
They have been upgraded & migrated to our SF2 downloads section, or no longer exist. personally, i feel its a waste of time and effort on a win10 machine to install 1st gens and then try to find all the addons, when SF2 just pretty much drops in. -
OH-6 Minigun sound missing
Wrench replied to ponyboy314's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
which is why the links =I= posted are for the the 3W toolkit available HERE at CA. TK's site has been tits up for quite a while, excepting for the "sales floor" mue's is better, as it shows all the content of cat -
Viggen for SF1
Wrench replied to Fdino's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
that's the only one there is. the DAT site is not dead, it just requires "special permission, members only access". Instructions are on the first page, iirc. good luck with that! -
OH-6 Minigun sound missing
Wrench replied to ponyboy314's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
it's a 7z file ... and i just checked it again, and downloaded it myself. in fact, here's the zip attached -- it's all 3 of the 3W utilities. otto: hmmm! I was sure somebody (maybe fubar) had written a tut on it. 3rdWireTools-april-2012.7z -
OH-6 Minigun sound missing
Wrench replied to ponyboy314's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I'd first start off here, mind you not everything is in the SF2 Knowledge Base, https://combatace.com/forums/forum/268-thirdwire-strike-fighters-2-series-knowledge-base/ so you might want to give the SF1 KB a once over as well (just for grins). many things in there are still applicable https://combatace.com/forums/forum/99-thirdwire-strike-fighters-knowledge-base/ then download and install this: mue's extractor is better than the stock 3W one. you might need to fiddle with it a bit, to learn how it works. You'll only be needing to use the extractor function. IIRC, there's a read me. If not you can always get the 3rd Wire one. you shouldn't need to worry about the gun and weapons editor -- they really don't do much in a drag and drop folderized SF2 give those a shot yakarov's helos are worth the work -
OH-6 Minigun sound missing
Wrench replied to ponyboy314's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
so, extracting the soundlist.ini from the flightdata cat, placing it in the /Flight folder (make one if you need one), and adding the sound statements is too much work??? well, do what you think is best
