adding terrain buildings and trees to a tile
Stary replied to Rends's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
HasWater= determines engine check for water presence, HasWater=2 says whole tile is water (usually xxxS1.tga or xxxxS2.tga; depends on tileset anming convention) while HasWater=1 does extra check based on alpha channel (where white=water black=land) -

what Dave says, I know every wants top flyable plane but sometime due to RL you have to release "as is" or abandon the project completely, as in my view keeping it on HDD for the future equals to -

Carlo on the bright side we have ErikGen's older Gina and he has a job Maaaybe try asking him about releasing it as it is? Or to pass it to some trusted group like Mirage Factory wizards? -

adding terrain buildings and trees to a tile
Stary replied to Rends's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
No, hm files add extra displacement which is tile based, the engine knows where's water based onalpha channel check. As for crash I have no idea st the moment. To add tile to the terrain editor you can modify the texturelist in notepad or add it via options in Terrain Editor -

Maybe to some extend. I remember loong ago I fiddled with the ground objects and had at one point tanks that were hardly destroyable by 20mm cannons. Structure value points or something, can't recollect, t'was around SF2 Exp1 came out. I think lots of stuff in the dlls isn't commonl used in avionics etc, worth peeking into -

I simply say it's reasonale to gather together what we have or can extract from the core files (in a legal way, but apparently as per the letter TK doesn't seem to be against such explorations) before starting to even think about hiring someone to -exactly, to do what? -

Stary replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I think Stratos you're jumping too far ahead with the proposal of actually hiring a guy I think we'd better concentrate now on finding stuff that's hidden from us (LODs aside ofc) Speaking of which you do realise core dlls can be extracted using mere 7zip? (not that it would make one smarter) And that lots lots of strings and variables can be discovered unig PE explorer-type programs? so for example for avionics gurus here's avionics 70 dll strings: Avionics70.dll.str.txt -

to be honest it isn't the response I was expecting ok enough of tongue-in-cheek talk: I simply want to modify the old terrain engine water shaders to include better reflection based of Iceland water shaders I got from someone; given I did tweaks to postprocess shaders 3 years ago I think redistributing these wouldn't be a violation as much as redistributing modified data of aircraft is -

Stary replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
what about data modifications to dll? If done with patching programs? Also Harold what do you think now about opening the hidden stuff, namely .fx shader files? For modification purposes? edit: and say I have those shaders, can I send them to one who knows about shader programming for modifications? Like postprocess and water shaders? -

as far as I remember in the past there were some old legal issues with the companies, but as we've got Zipper back then why not revamp the Starfighter and Intruder pits as a DLC is an unknown decision edit: I mean those would be popular DLCs I'm pretty sure of that but on the other hand we still wait for USAF or european F-16 DLCs -

you really should move to GH3.5 Wrench, I know I know, you invested time and nerves in new custom tiles but... GH3 was sort of quickie to kill time when one young lady... nevermind, I wanted to do something fast to brighten my mood back then -
