Need help with modding..
daddyairplanes replied to omegaeleven's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion

Need help with modding..
daddyairplanes replied to omegaeleven's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ok simple walk through: go here then here then open the install you have. if you have multiple versions (SF2 Europe, SF2 Israel etc) you will have what is called a merged install, but with seperate exes. when you get really high speed with it you'll have multiple exes dedicated to different whatevers. case in point i put an F-16CM Block 52 into my test install( thrid highlighted from bottom), mainly because i was looking at something for loadouts. it was availble in any terrain or any version of SF2 within that exe. but not in any of the others just getting started you wont have anywhere near as many exes (we say installs, although that not exactly technically correct). you may have one or you may have all 5. pick one, and follow the directions to place the mod into your selected install -

https://combatace.com/forums/forum/268-thirdwire-strike-fighters-2-series-knowledge-base/ as for the initial run of the game, run the exe once. that will create your mod folder, most likely in [your comp]/SavedGames/Thirdwire/[your version of the game] welcome to the party. you'll find the mods will really pick up your game experience (depending on what your particular interest is) -

yes (as a retired 92G aka Mess Sergeant) and yes, as in i was sitting on a 50 cal one night in early 2001 when it got so damn cold 7th Army put the word out "no guards after midnight". woulda been nice except we had to carry the 50 and its T&E and other assorted gear with a mile back to the TOC. Ma Duece is fun until you gotta hump her more than 50 ft anywhere.......... -

Bragg (the bigger alcoholics than Pope ) then Germany and back to Bragg until i bummed my time in the Reserves of course Germany wound up being with a field artillery unit. so i was well acquainted with the paths and trails of Graf and Hohenfels........ -

What If Screenshot Thread.......
daddyairplanes replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
30 Dec 1983: The last flight of the F-104H "Zipper" in Active USAF service takes place as the F-15A replaces it in service with the 318th Fighter Interceptor Squadron. The Zipper would continue on in service with several Air National Guard squadrons until near the end of the 1980s. (big thanks to Spinners, for making the "ADC" Starfighter come to life) -

Allen wins it a Fighter Wing campaign would be nice too but....... Ron, yes they flew Vipers too. Block 52s and a Weasel role from mid 94 until 2006 (or 07?) when the 389th went to Mud Hens from late 1992 until summer of 94, they had a light attack role, and any SEAD was either gonna be Maverick, CBU or pre loaded HARMs (set against specific freqs not able to pick targets like F-4G or Block 50/52) -

Ripping-off Without Shame
daddyairplanes replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
^^^^^^^this part ^^^^^ you said "how much do i owe you". i gave a sarcastic comment in reply in this case (conversation between you and me) it was never about the money. my point has just been to give the credit where its due. "bazillus made this, daddyairplanes made that, and heres how their old work got improved" its decent manners, and its basically a condition of use of nearly all the mods (that if you change something and release you will say who made the original and what you changed) no, no one can afford to send a lawyer after someone that violates those terms. so instead, we post about it on here. whether its viewed "crying about a plastic spoon" or "letting everyone know about a page on Facebook", that perception is on each individual member -

very generous of him. most people at least want to be recognized for what they did nah, a link to the video you made with footage of one of my skins; and mention of who made it in the next video is actually enough. my shits been tight last couple months too. this month i got 3 pennies to spend -

yeah i know you got it rougher than 99% of the community at the moment. part of why the argument suprises me abit there are some that have a big issue with this. not the biggest problem in the world, but it is a major problem in their world having had a skin and the model done like that with credit to neither, i understand their point of view i do fail to see why its hard to simply put a sentence in somewhere saying "this person did this part of the project you see" -

lets say 0.33 kopiika per view on any video featuring one of my skins. seems the going rate for a newly monetized account or better still, just give credit for the parts that arent yours. which is one of the biggest gripes, and biggest terms of use in the readmes -

if thats the case then go for it if it has your work and was uncredited, by all means insist on that due credit. if you dont want your work included (because of non credit or disagreement) request ot have it pulled. contact the offending modder first, then Erik if they dont agree. but most around here (CA) will adjust if they find that parts were miscredited or used w/o permission not sure if its a translation thing, a economic thing or personal thing but you still confuse "free" with "no money". the point here has been that the mods are provided for no money to the end user. terms of use are the cost to the end user. terms that get set because of of time the modder spent. anything that has exchanged hands in all of humanity has had some cost attached to it if it was done legally (ie not stolen). it might be a very small and seemingly negligible cost but its still there -

Misawa had 52's? legit question, i thought they got 50s when they became the 35th FW..... really you need to try harder Kojak . think about the multi jet type/big jet posts of the last couple months. one wing keeps popping up across 4 airframes now (soon to be 5) all the other units have been side quests of this main one -

di you buy the plastic scoop and bucket at the store, or put time and material in to make it yourself? did he use the spoon and bucket for his personal use, or is he giving it out to others? if he's giving it out to others does he at least say you gave it to hi, or claim that the plastic items were always his? those readmes that are in almost every mod arent random words for the hell of it, they are poor man EULAs. slightly less binding than what you also dont read from EA or Blizzard; slightly less because our legal teams are much smaller than the corporations. but the terms are pretty generous really, especially for no money. every mod i've ever seen says at a minimum This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape, or form be used in any payware additions. and The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed simply put, dont make your own money off my work and if you use it for anything, give me due credit for creating the base of what your using. and yes even making videos can be making money, if they were to become popular enough to be monetized or whatever adding commercials to a video is called these days. which is why alot of people create videos; seeing the tik tok stars and hoping to make money off it too
