Europe as a bigger terrain
Stary replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I was helping Wrench with the EAW-based version, an around 1950 rebuild but we ran into serious problems, which, without texturelist.ini used to build it originally in Terrain Editor, prevented us from sealing the "leaks" (as I call these) in ground textures set -the white or randomly swapping tiles all over the place, also something with the water on waterless areas, weird -
Skyraider Prop renders behind clouds w/ Green Hell 2
Stary replied to malibu43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Setting render in order option for cloud material in environmentsystem.ini isn't a good idea, but you propably noticed that by now (very weird transparency effects at clouds borders). It's an old bug, that TK fixed in WOI and post 06' patches, it also causes trees to render through canopy glass IIRC. Sadly I never found solution for 06-level installs -

A Bug with Green Hell 2 or New Textures?
Stary replied to Stretch32's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
There's another setting one might consider using -so far no problems with clouds (Widesky), but causes trees to render one-sided, not that easy to notice at quick test, but you've been warned (changed is the Z-buffer offset from 2 to 1) [AlphaObjectTextureMaterial] DepthBufferCheck=TRUE DepthBufferWrite=FALSE RenderedInOrder=FALSE AlphaTestEnabled=TRUE CullMode=CLOCKWISE LightEnabled=TRUE SpecularEnabled=FALSE EmissiveEnabled=FALSE FogEnabled=TRUE AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 ZBufferOffset=1 BlendOp=BLEND_SRC_ALPHA NumTextureStages=1 TextureStage[01].TextureName= TextureStage[01].MipMap=TRUE TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=TRUE TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_BLEND_TEXTURE_ALPHA edit: still buggy on broken weather, i think the older settings malibu43 posted are the best solution so far, or the 4-seasons blending ones if you can stand the slight rendering anomalies ( time for a really updated graphics engine, TK?) -
A Bug with Green Hell 2 or New Textures?
Stary replied to Stretch32's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
malibu43, that should always work, but also creates the little ugly transparent outlines around the trees (I have and hate those) right? and slows slightly the framerate. The nice thing is there aren't displaying in wrong order anymore too. Frankly, there are so many versions of the alphaobjecttexturematerial settings in various versions of my treemods, I'd have to sit down and rework them all to best settings. But the ones with trees blending in distance (ie. included in 4 seasons GermanyCE) is my favorite now because of that soft look of canopies, and lack of shimmering -

there's no new Vietnam terrain in the works now, none that I know about AFAIK there's Korean one by Wrench and Brain32, but on hold for quite a long time -

Stary replied to Stretch32's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
It's the clouds rendering though trees nasty bug, I've been trying to get rid of it for NF4 4-seasons terrain without luck so far. It has something to do with the ZBufferOffset= in terrain data ini, but after trying several combinations for both alphaobjecttexture together with clouds material in environmentsystem I wasn't able to come with good, working solution yet. -

Cool. We have moving clouds now
Stary posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
They were static before, weren't they? I was testing in the inclement weather conditions, and set sim rate 16X times. Clouds now move with wind, at slightly variable speed. Is it me or this is a feature of Oct08 patch, or was I blind before? The only thing I miss is layered fog in the morning now. I tried modding Lexx's ingenious Cirrus mod, but some render anomalies occure with terrain mesh. Anyway another great small feature from TK -

Another WOV SF2 Question: Copy and Paste Cockpits into "old WOV"
Stary replied to swambast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The LODs themself are now coded in different way, so i don't think this would be possible even after ini re-coding into older formats. -
