RAVEN

Just moved again and had to put 3D on hold again, PC's are ready to go, I just have some more RL stuff to sort out. I'm just glade I found this place. I'm 6 minutes walk to work. I have some more stuff to move and I can set up my PC and get back to work. Sorry for the delays, but RL comes first. Raven

Well I finally got the mem for my PC and it works good. Bad news, I have to move again. 3D on hold again. RL is such a bi--h. Sorry everyone, Fly Safe. Raven

Well I have the MEM ordered for my PC, Ya back into modding soon. It's been tuff with the move. Can't wait, slamming vertex's. Raven

Great read. Some day I'll tell you bout me and the BF-105 and the hammerhead stall. Man what a ride.

Well I've got the new Power box installed. Ya!!! Work great. Next is more MEM. 4 gab Then back to 3D. Cash has been tight to upgrade. The rest is all good. Fly safe. Raven

Nice. Game on man.

Well folks it's snowing hard here in GJ Colo. I'm putting one of my PC's back together. I'm still waiting to get the parts for my fast PC from Cal. I can't Mod until then, (Cry) I have limited Internet at the moment, but I'm getting that fixed in Jan. I've missed everyone since I moved, but it will get better in the next few months. Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone. Raven

I have to jump in here. Tiring to start with an existing 3D file is almost like going backwards. And you have to share the credits for the finished product because that's what right. Granted if the original was started for SF then there not to hard sometimes, but if it's just something that someone made then they can be a nightmare. I prefer to start from scratch., then all the mistakes are mine alone.

It booted!! Yaaaa. Had to pull the memory several times and reinsert it, now I just need to slap in the new SSD (need a bracket still) and reinstall the OS. New AGP card is still in a box in CA. I'm waiting for my sister to mail it to me. Going to be a while to get it all together.

Ya, Battery my first thought also

Quick update. Second PC (The better one) won't boot, not sure why. I can't even get into the BIOS. Any one have an idea. Comp was working when I shut it down so long ago?

I had that problem before. I made the decal 32X32 then stretched it to 512 tall by 32 wide and it looks normal now. Hope this helps.

Well I got my RV cleaned out and now my empty apt. Is full of stuff I don't know what to do with. Every thing has 7 years of dust on it, but I'm happy as a clam. (Where in the hell did get all this stuff!) I got one of my PC's fired up, booted like I turned if off yesterday and I found a WOE install from 2007. No Easter Eggs though. Going to be awhile before I can get back into Modding, the job transfer in taking up 12 hours of my day. Well that's where I'm at at the moment, still need some shelves and Computer desk. That's all for now. Raven

Ya, I almost had the Flight deck finished. Once that's done, Fuse is Done, then on to the wings, Left wing, then mirror. After that FM and bombs away!!!! (Well there's still a skin to do.) Raven

I'm still in a holding pattern. Empty apt.still. Back to modding soon. !!! Dam it's good to be home at last! !!! Rocky Mountain High! Raven

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy. I just rented a 1BR APT. I lived here befor (Homeless on the river) my 13ft RV is stored here also. Just need a Lic. Again. That's why I transferred here. Won't be moding much until I get setteled and my PC out of the RV.

Looking for a room to rent. Right now I'm on the bus in las vegas.

Well, I'm transferring to Grand Junction, Colo. for my job. Anyone in that area. I need held finding a place ASAP. I'm just looking for Info. Thanks IA.

I do what Russ dose, except I add some temporary pins, linked to each arm at the Pivotpoint, then align the arms by their (the pins) centers. Remember to remove them before export.

Transparency has to be set in Max prior to export as a .lod even though the game uses the Alpha channel of a .tga to set the amount of said transparency. If ya look at a .out file at the assigned materials list. The entry ' Transparency Enabled' will be there for canopies. (Or should be).

The .tga's need to be changed with a program like PhotoShop or any photo editing program that surports .tga. and .bmp's. Export as a .bmp. The main .ini for the AC needs to be edited from .tga's to .bmp's also. WeaponsData.ini and the .dat file need to be in the weapons (if you don't have one, make one and it goes in the Objects folder) folder along with the .lod's for the weapons. Basically everything for the weapons to show has to match, year, Hardpoint specs. NationName. Also the format of each weapon folder has to be converted to SF1. I haven't looked at the download, but weapons for SF2 won't work in SF1with just a copy/ past into the weapons folder. If you haven't done it, download a SF 1 weapons pack and look at the .ini's in a folder, in some weapons packs the .lod's and .ini's are not in folders, there just clumped together in one folder, but look at a .ini.

100 Run c:\ SF3,exe 200 Error 300 End of line.

CMYK colors use four values, the last value is the % of Black. Dose the color get darker if you increase forth value?

Okay, that's way more about a CRC then my brain can handle, but thanks. I've been looking at a .dll (not related to SF) Dropping the idea though, I don't have time to learn C++.

Just wonderingly. Patch the .exe or a .dll?
