I'll go even Futher.....You know those Zip Drives? Sometimes called "Flash Drives"....... Your Mods Folders can be "Plug and Play".....hint, hint.

Ran the Whole WOX Line on a Machine that can be considered Slow, even comparied to Yours, gerwin. SF2 and SF2V will run on DX9c Machines. Runs great.......Updated the same Machine with Vista and DX10.....Results: Excellent! I have no need of any of the Eariler Titles......Unless I want to go backwards......

That was under XP......I've since Upgraded to Vista. Works the same way though......

Yes.....The .EXE is controlled By the Options.INI.....You control which Options.ini is being read by which Option.ini you have in either StrikeFighters2 or StrikeFighters2Vietnam Folder.......If You have a "Merged" Install, Two .EXE's will be created. One for SF2 that will have a "Light" Border around it, And one for SF2V that will have a "Dark" or black Border around it. You can control Your MODs Folders by controlling Your "Options.INI's". How You handle them determines how many Installs One can have....... It's a matter of "Copy and Paste" then to reflect the Mod You want to run. Just copy over the Options.INI for the Mod Folder You want to use........

My Main Drive is C:, Of course. But I have two HD's in My System. C: and F: . I have My "Core" installed on F:. In the <UserName> Saved Games/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2 or StrikeFighters2Vietnam, All I have is the Folders with the Options.INI's in them Pointing to My F: Drive where My Modded Installs are. Each Options.INI, Each Modded Folder.......I name mine, StrikeFighters2 MODS1 and StrikeFighters MODS2. StrikeFighters2Vietnam MODS1 and StrikeFighters2Vietnam MODS2........

First off, If You think that You've screwed Up Your "Core". Uninstall, Install and Patch. Other than that. The "Core" should never be messed with. As far as different Installs. I have 4 going. 2 of SF2 and 2 of SF2V. They are called out By different Options.INI's that point to the "Modded" Folders....... Yes, under Vista. Works in XP too....

Sometimes "Change" is good and for the better...........

That Damage Model looks just Cool!

Try a "Refresh" of Your Browser...Then Try again. If it don't work then. Report it as a "Problem" to the CA Staff. But it seems OK from My end....

What kind of File Format You putting up? .RAR? .ZIP? .7-Zip? .Jpeg?.......

S!

AWESOME!

All of them......And it just accured to Me, You can now taylor your Weapons Effects to a Specific Weapon and according to One's Tastes.... You can have Different Explosions for different made Bombs or Explosions according to a Nation or Manufacture..... The ones in the TMF Packs are renames of either Deuces or Bunyaps....

Dave's Problem is in the Specific Weapons releated Effects such as Nuke's, FAE's, WilliePete's....General Effects are working fine for Him..... I've got them all working now and are tying them to their Weapons....

Yhea.....Dropping the "S" does it for all of them....Even Leaflet Bomb Effect. Dave has got another Issue somewhere that's keeping His Effects from showing..... On some Video Cards, Like mine, The Effects Shaders help out......On others, It has no effect at all. And on some others, has to be there in order to work......That's what I'm finding out from others and the two Machines I'm now running SF2 on......

Deuces FAE's are in......Work good too...

KX, If it still doesn't work, Try removing the "+" from this line: HydroDymamicSeperation+BreakawayPulse-KT300 You can do the Edits to the WeaponsData.ini with NotePad without using the "Save" of the Weapons Editor. The "Save" Button is really for Creating a New Weapons Folder or Creating a New Weapon or Copying one....

If You notice in Lexx's "Read Me" With the Nuke Effects of His, He states that there are Single Entries for the "Old" MissileObject.INI........I bet You'll have to call out the Effect Class as in CA_Stary's for each Effect just like listed Above:"NukeExplosionEffect"...... Just leave the Entries Blank for "GroundHitEffect"....and so on....

After doing 1800 Weapons for SF2.....I really couldn't tell You right off, Which Pack it'll be in....The ones I used were Bunyap's Last Pack. TMF's Pack and the Comunity Pack with Lindr2's 3 Packs......It's in those is all I can tell You....Sorry I can't be of more Help than that....

The .Bmp the .LOD calls for is Seacatex.BMP.

well...

Since Guns Folder is created by the Gun Editor, I bet it's a safe Bet that Gun Effects are handled in the same way......

EffectShaderName= Is not nessary. But does enhance the Effects somewhat. Noticed it testing with and without with CA_Stary's EE_3 Effects Pack....
