There are several way to get a stock terrain into the TE..I'll make the assumption this is the stock VietnamSEA map, if another, we'll need to know that. one is to use the extractor,and pull EVERYTHING out of the terrain cat file. This will have the side effect of not only extracting the inis and tiles you'll need, but all the terrain objects as well. Those can be deleted (that's all the buildings, runways, and their associated bmps and tgas) another is to use the extractor and ONLY pull the files you need. They would be vietnamsea.tfd vietnamsea.hfd vietnamsea.ini (alrady out) vietnamsea_data.ini please note, the _types and _targets.inis aren't really necessary, but they come in handy if you're adding a new location, like a airfield that'll need flattening, or a city (and thereby editing the citylist.ini) or whatever. Might be a good idea, in the long run. Then, you'll need to extract ALL the terrain tiles -there's 104 of them on the stock map, in BOTH bmp and tga formats. Once extracted, you MUST convert the tgas to bitmap (bmp), or the TextuelistWoV.ini won't see them at all. Any good imaging progarm should be able to to that (Photoshop, Gimp). Make double damn sure they are saved as bmp and copy bmp -that happens some times. Then, useing ONLY the WoV/WoE/WoI terrain editor, create a new subfolder, call it VietnamSEA, move all the inis, the tfd and hfd into that folder. All the tile bmps go in the MAIN TE folder, where the TE's exe is. Along with the city list and texture list IMPORTANT NOTE: if the terrain you're using in NOT the stock map, you'll need the texturelist/city list FOR that map, otherwise it just ain't gonna happen. However, if said map is using stock tiles or tiles with the stock naming conventions, it should be (no garuntees!!) OK. Any terrain-specific tiles will need to be added to the texturelist, via the edit texture list function in the TE, or very strange things happen. wrench kevin stein

Destroyed Targets problem
Wrench replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Caused by a lack of proper pointers in the types.ini Sounds like a good project for you... Here's what you do: 1)Open each and every terrain's _TYPES.INI, scroll through each and every entry, and compare them to the same 'object' entry from, say the stock Desert/Germany/Vietnam types inis, with particular attention being given to these sections: it should be noted, ALL the terrain objects do NOT have damaged models, so you can ignore that line. However, with the exception of the CityBuilding 1,2,3,4 (and the additional ones seen in GermanyCE and VietnamSEA), there ARE destroyed lods. You can even assign destroyed lods to the aformentinoned CityBuildings that don't have a 'real' one; just pick something with the same "footprint" (destroyed warehouses for large buildings, barracks for smaller ones). The destoyed effect, secondary effect and destroyed model are the major ones, with the secondary chance at 100 (that's what I do on all my terrain mods -makes for nice colums of burning stuff as you fly away) Then you add the various and sundry effects, to 3rd party terrains as based on what you see in the stock one (one major flaw in the stock terrains IS the lack of a large 2ndary chance percentage -those should be upped as well) It should also be noted, that the Iran/Iraq terrain is SEVERLY f***ed up; it's in the shop right now (along with 5 other terrains) for complete and utter rebuilding from the ground up (pun intended) -being completly retiled, with all the cities, and yes rivers, and airfields and everything else being moved to their Real Life positions. wrench kevin stein -

F9F Panther, VMF-311, Korea
Wrench posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
File Name: F9F Panther, VMF-311, Korea File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 18 Dec 2009 File Category: F2H/F9F/F3H Skins F9F-2/2B/5 Panther, VMF-311, Korean War Era skin 12/11/09 =For SF/SFG/WoV/WoE and probably for SF2 series sims This package is an upgrage/replacement skin and decal set for the VMF-311 skin that comes with Pasko's original F9F-5 Panther release package. The skin repesents VMF-311 flying in Korea. What has been done, basiclly, is simply create all new decals for Modex, BuNum/manufacturers ID/Service call out, and other items. The skin bmps themselves ARE still the same ones as issued with the release package from 2004. You'll have numbers, etc for 24 aircraft. Also included, is a 'clean-Nose.bmp', as historical, photographic evidence points to only ONE aircraft having the face painted on (Personally, I LIKE the face!). Instructions on how to switch to the clean nose are below in the "To Install" section. It should be noted at this time, my researches have shown a more-or-less mixed bag of models as used by 311; so the BuNums/ID tag reflects this -- some will be labeled F9F-2B, some as F9F-5. Rest assured, the BuNums ARE correct for the models indicated (other than the 2/2B having a shorter tail fin). I can, unfortunatly, only claim 100% accuracy for modex #s 2, 6, and 16, as these can be clearly seen in photos in the sources listed below. The rest should be considered as 'filler'. As always, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere else that's easy to find, to gain access to the rest of this readme, for full, simple-to-follow (for once!) instructions.

This might be of interest to the Prop Heads
Wrench replied to allenjb42's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Prop Heads Forum
Not to detract from Zero's efforts, as I can really appriciate the amount of work going into this -hell, the research ALONE for the Pearl Harbor attack will make you crazy-, but you all know that I've already done most of this stuff, right??? Look here at CA and my site (as any mods for DAT aircraft will only be at my site); all the Pearl Harbor stuff -minus Hinch's new BBs (older versions are in the Hawaii map), all the aircraft for Nagumo's strike forces (both Pearl AND Midway), US forces -navy, marine, AAF, terrains, etc. I can also tell you that I've been working with Capun to finish the TBDs, so they'll be here, with 99.9% Historically Accurate skins for Midway -right down to matching modex and BuNums and crew assignments for the 3 squadrons. Coral Sea skins for them are also in the works. (of course, we're missing the actual ships for LEX and SARA...) Actualy, I'm QUITE interested in how this will turn out -- by my guesstimations, something like 150-175 aircraft for all sides will be needed, gods alone know how many skins with squadron/sentai specific markings. As the guy that's probably done more WW2 mods than just about anyone, for all theatres, this is a MASSIVE undertaking. Personally, I'm DYING to see what up with the terrains -will they be new ones, mods/rebuilds of Edwards (all of which I've already redone)? With Deuces working those, I'm expecting to see something pretty damn awesome. (and even given the scaling issues in the game, that really f***ed me up with the Hawaii map...) And, as it looks like it's for 1st Gen games, I can only hope they'll be at 08 levels for the Vista/Win7 users. Be nice to have a moving sea for them; and updated FMs -the most important feature, imho. wrench kevin stein -
Screenshot Thread
Wrench replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Just so people stop whining.... I'll let you in on a secret...I've been revisiting BOTH the original Korea/Korea Winter terrains -in fact, I've combined them into a 4 season variant for 08+ level games. Unfortunately, springsummerfall uses the same tile set, winter of course being the white tiles. Have all but 1 sea/land tile working properly (oddity in the alpha, methinks) The major problem comes from the BNSeries tiles themselves --they're pretty much crap. And, just to make life interesting, the s/s/f tiles object postioning (ie: city tiles) don't match the winter tiles AT ALL!!! So terrain object buildings don't wind up where you put them. (what the terrain REALLY needs is a to be completly redone, from a new DEM, using Stary's 4 season Germany tiles -- they're probably the closest to the actuall terrain as seen in Google Earth, and from friends/family I've had stationed over there) On the good side, the season switch to works perfectly. For the superdetailed fall/summer tile set that EricJ was refering too -with all Stary/Brain32s super cool tiles and trees; that's a 63% terrain (size wize), and was ~85% finished when I was told I had the wrong one. So, that one too is being worked on, to try and finish it. Unfortunatly, it will NOT work with the original terrain, due to tile naming conventions, so in essence, when I finally get finished with it, you'll have 2 terrains -one with them fugly BNtiles and the other with custom Korea tiles. so be paitent ... there's a LOT happening, both in-game and (unfortunatley) in my Real Life . And some new/revamped skins and airplanes (yes, the NKPAF IL-2M3,standing in for their RL IL-10s -as we ain't got one- will finally make it's appearence) If you all are real nice, maybe I'll post some screenies wrench kevin stein -

Some ini mods are: moving the cockpit up slightly to hide some gaps; A Soviet WW2-style PB1 gunsight tga (from Pappa Romeo's EAW sight pack) VERY small FM tweeks for 08+ level games (btw, a few more tweeks are necessary hint-hint to our FM guys); Canopy is now operational via an animiation key (Shift/0) A new WoE-style Hangar screen (didn't have one before) The "CRSPRP.wav" in-line engine sound -- has a nice V-12 buzz (used on many WW2 mods) Damage tgas for that 'shot full of holes' look Included are a second data and loadout ini, for an "operational" interceptor version, in the "What If..." worlds, with the additon of 2 nose 12.7 machine guns, ala the standard Yak-3. An 'operational' Loadout ini, with the additon of drop tanks is included. Instructions for swapping them out are below in the "To Install" section. Sort of an experiment I performed. I've also included a 2nd skin for the 'operational' variant, which is a basically the gray/blue skin from the Yak-3. Be advised of some small mapping issues, as this skin really wasn't designed for this LOD. Pasko's original readme is also included Note: for the 'operational' variant, I've used as much stock weapons as possible; even the guns are pure 3W stock. However, the drop tanks used are the 75 gallon Mustang ones; so you might need one or another of the various Weapons Pak available to get them. They are NOT included. = IMPORTANT: This aircraft has been tested in Post-Patch SF/WoV/WoE/WoI (mostly 08 Level WoE). Be advised of the existence of some handling issues prevelant in WW2 era and many Pre-Patch (ie: 06 level) aircraft. Fly accordingly!!! It should also work in SF2 and later iterations - this has NOT been tested, however.
