Mods for SF2 not having sufficient installation instructions
yakarov79 replied to 1Patriot-of-many's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I will add my 5 cents to the thread as it claims that mods have not sufficient instructions. So my point of view. No instructions? So what. I can download any mod from here for free. And enjoy. And that is enough. I can't expect more from guys who are spending countless hours on skinning, editing, modeling etc. If I decided to mod my game I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MOD THIS. Over the years I've learned how, when and why mods are working or not. And possible that I still have to learn more. As generally, I am new here - compared to others. Anyway. I found all the information that I needed - thanks to search option/button. And of course trial and error. And now I can even put some aircraft into the game. As for instructions -- ooo holly crap...we are not dealing with some quantum physics. Over the years all mods work the same way. We have the same structure of folders. Still. Copy - paste is often the most sophisticated way of putting mod into a game. Campaign/Mission/Aircraft/Weapon for NA/ Vietnam/ Korea or Iran - works the same way. So I don't give a sht if there is instruction or not. I'm glad that folks are still doing mods. And better if they are working on terrain or nice tilesets, skins, or any other great stuff (even small improvements are welcome) rather then writing Readme that possible 80% of people will not read anyway....(another thing is some are not reading and asking same questions over and over again ). As I know from my own experience writing readme is the worst part of making a mod...at least for me - I wrote once readme - explaining an idea of moded aircraft AH-6C - then I received a message that AH-6 looks different way...Yes G/F/M looks different But I've made AH-6C so meaning someone is stupid enough not to see a title of mod and thing that I've made C! So I wasted time writing readme because someone didn't get the idea... Anyway. Different story with payware. There if something is not working...it should have some technical support. But here - all is free... So, learn how, when and why...trial and error rather than complaining that someone forgot to put a sound file, fake pilot mod or small decal.. @1Patriot-of-many this post is not directed to you..just generally to someone. Regards and have a good day/evening folks. And I haven't had a bad day - quite ok although a little bit windy. -

as Menrva said there will be few issues with lod trees. I was already doing it some time ago. I think also that lod trees can be placed only on flat terrain... on hill lod will be aligned with terrain surface. -

Mods for SF2 not having sufficient installation instructions
yakarov79 replied to 1Patriot-of-many's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Any particular or majority? Because saying the majority means nothing in solving a problem. Give specific details. What mod what campaign. Correct me if I understand it wrong - You are downloading mod - for example, aircraft - and instruction need to tell you what campaign you need to edit to make it run? But probably modder doesn't know what campaign you are having/running. -

Meteors Over Korea. SF2.
yakarov79 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File Meteors Over Korea. SF2. Meteors Over Korea Bunch of Meteors for the Royal Australian Air Force used during the Korean War. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) Install: Copy paste specific folders into a correct destination. Fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, Thirdwire Meteor cockpit is required from the original game. Fuel tanks- not to be afraid. Overwrite or just leave it. 100 gal tank is original TW tank. You can overwrite or just simply do not copy. 175 gal tank also. Tanks are just ini files. Mod use tanks that are part of aircraft lod. Yes, again Meteors. This is pack contains only F.8 and T.7 models used by RAAF. All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize to needed resolution. better to downsize than rescale to higher res. All decals are based on available materials and are historically correct. Few nose arts included. I've made skins sets per year regarding loses and reinforcements in 77Sq. between 1951-1953. I was trying to be accurate as possible even with all game limits. Loses / reinforcements are credited per year..so loses from 1951 are not seen in 52 - but new planes are available as reinforcements arrived. Credits. Veltro2k - the original model early model. Me - model rework into T.7 and F.8 and some other mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research... 76.IAP-Blackbird - also T model re-working. Charles - original FM from original T.7 upload. Nose art decals for Halestorm, Bow 'em Over, Cap'n Mac - from Kulbit's Gloster Meteor RAAF pack. Seat - all credits o creator - unfortunately I don't remember who made this seat. I guess skin is by Kulbit. Pilots - I have no idea / don't remember who did it. All credit to him/her. - one of my favorites figures in a game - I've added this to correspond with the data file. Weapons RP-3 rockets from Ravenclaw. This model is designed/checked only to work with ravenclaw's RP-3 rockets - so might be some strange positioning in other (stock) rockets. Have fun Report bugs. Expect the unexpected Jarek Hereda THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
