NeverEnough

Soulfreak, I would really appreciate it if you could point me to some worthwhile sources of hi res stencils. About the best I found after several Google searches were some jpg's of decal sheets, but they were not high enough resolution that I could use them.

Try eburger's AAA Pack Redux for SF2.

Take a look at MontyCZ's Flak Pack. It has the Flak 88 and the Flak 30.

Baffmeister, look for the artillery models MontyCZ did. He had some particularly handsome WW2 ground objects. Stephen1918 also did some WW1 artillery which you may be able to use, which are also very nicely done.

Stephen1918, thanks for another model which had not been done yet in the FE/FE2 world! I will add this to the HUGE inventory of outstanding models you have so generously provided for the community's use and enjoyment. Merry Christmas, and an excellent New Year to all!

I'm really looking forward to this one!

Raven, you have been dealt a losing hand before and overcome. Stay strong and beat this thing! Best wishes for a successful treatment and a full recovery. God Bless......

Geezer, I have been eagerly anticipating your next contribution to the TW world since you first posted pictures of your pre-WW2 models years ago. It would seem that my hopes and anticipation were warranted. You and Stephen1918 have elevated abandonware to a level the original creator never envisioned. Wow!!!!!! Thanks for all your efforts.

Jack72, checking my back up files would indicate that WWI_Web_Setup and WWI_exp1_setup are FE files rather than FE2. FE2_web_setup_Jul2010 is the FE2 installation file. That would explain your error message.

jack72, WOI is SFP1. The SF2 Israel version is SF2I. If you have WOI, it is not compatible with your SF2 install.

Stephen1918, thanks so much for the damage fixes and hitbox corrections. This is probably my favorite ride over your Palestine Terrain! Here is a location fix for the engine exhaust: Located in the [Engine] section of the DATA.INI ExhaustEmitterName=TracerSmokeEmitter ExhaustPosition=0.58,0.52,0.10

Ravenclaw, enjoy all the time you get to spend with your grandson, and be well. Wrench, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. Best wishes for you both.

Geezer, congratulations and best wishes on your 70th birthday! Even with the screen name of Geezer, I was really surprised at the extent of your maturity. Maybe not forever young, but surprisingly young in interests and attitudes. That would certainly seem like a check mark in the win column! Even though I am a little less then a decade younger, in my experience so far in life; if given the opportunity to do something which gives you pleasure take it! Thanks so much for all that you have shared with this small community, and best of luck in your new pursuits.

Mike, here's what I have in my FE Notes file: Smoke Colors: "British AA shells burst with white smoke, enemy with black, Italian with _red_." (emphasis added). Now we already know about the first two colours, which are already incorporated in FE. However I would like to try to adjust the colour of Allied archie bursts in the Italian Front mod to "red" - after all there were many more Italian archie units there than British ones. Looking at the various effects files, I see that colours are defined as four-parameter groups, eg: ParticleColor[01].Value=0.300000,0.300000,0.300000,0.000000 AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 So my question to the effects experts is, what do these four values represent? Or put another way, what would people recommend to produce "red" archie smoke? I played around with the exhaust emitters for the engines (because it was easy to see what was happening right away) and came up with this - it looks like the 4 numbers are for: Red, Green, Blue, Transparency It appears that the maximum value is 1.000000, although it doesn't crash if I go higher than one. I don't know how much you know about color thoery for computers, so forgive me if I seem to be talking down to you. Generally, for RedGreenBlue (RGB), if all three values are the same, you get a shade of gray. Higher numbers are lighter/brighter. Lower numbers are darker/duller. Red and green together makes yellow. All 1's would be white, all 0's would be black. so 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000 would be bright red 1.000000, 0 .900000, 0.900000 would be pinkish 0.500000, 0.500000, 0.500000 would be medium gray The last number is transparency, 1 means opaque, 0 means clear The engine emitters have several particles, each with a slightly different color. For the explosions, try making one of them reddish, and leave the others grayish or yellowish. It will take some experimenting to get the right combination, but I'm sure that, with patience, you can get the effect you want.

Swamblast, that model looks dam good to me!

Try Stary's HR Darwin tiles.

The system you listed might be a little light in the graphics card department. You would probably be happier with a better graphics card than a GTX 745.

I had forgotten what a nice model Julhelm's Vigilante was:

Geezer, at your suggestion I swapped in hi res bmp's and tga's for Stephen1918's Palestine Terrain and was dazzled by how good it looked. I'm really looking forward to your new hi res tiles for the already beautiful Italian Front. FE2 just keeps getting better and better thanks to the very talented enthusiasts in the community!
