Guys and Gals, I feel a need to share something of importance I found out while Testing these Weapons for the Pack. In the Past, Weapons Builders have been getting away with using Lower Case Letters in Data.INI's with Upper Case Letters in the Title of the .LOD File and vise versa. That works fine for the SFp1/WOX Series, But won't cut it in SF2. In SF2 Series, If You label a .LOD using Upper Case Letters, YOU MUST use Upper Case Letters in the Data.INI Line that reads "ModelName=". If You Use Lower Case, Use Lower Case in the Data.ini.... I'll tell You why.....The SF2 Engine is sensitive to Nameing Conventions. If You have a Data.INI calling out for Upper Case Letters and You've got Lower Case Letters in the Title Of the .LOD or vise versa, The Game Engine thinks You don't have the proper .LOD in the File, Preventing it to show in Game. Before, We were able to get by with it. Not now. I thought Yall' like to know.... 331KillerBee

The First Thing I would do is Change the Availability of the SA-8. You can do it via editting the SA-8 Data.ini. Once it's done, would have to be "Saved" in the Weapons Editor. Here's My Example to try first: [WeaponData001] TypeName=SA-8 FullName=SA-8 ModelName=SA-8 Mass=128.000000 Diameter=0.210000 Length=3.200000 SubsonicDragCoeff=0.120000 SupersonicDragCoeff=0.222000 AttachmentType= SpecificStationCode= NationName=SOVIET StartYear=1968 EndYear=2020 Availability=2 <<<< Change from 2 to 4. 2 is "Common". 4 is "Very Rare".

To move a SF2/V Install, You'll have to do this: Inside Your SF2 Folder keep Your Options.INI in it like this: And have Your Options.INI Editted like this: [Pilot] LastName=Pilot FirstName=Ace Callsign=Phantom Service=USAF [Options] Section=1 [GameplayOptions] MissionStart=2 CockpitView=0 DisplayUnit=0 EnemySkill=0 Simulation=1 FlightModel=1 WeaponEffectiveness=1 Avionics=1 Targeting=1 HUDDisplay=1 Landing=1 Collision=1 Blackout=1 AmmoUsage=1 FuelUsage=1 [GraphicsOptions] DisplayDeviceID=0 DisplayWidth=1024 DisplayHeight=768 DisplayDepth=32 AspectRatio=1.333333 AntiAliasing=0 LensFlare=2 DetailLevel=4 ObjectDetail=2 ObjectTexture=3 CockpitTexture=3 CockpitMirrors=1 CockpitReflection=0 EffectsDetail=2 TerrainDetail=2 TerrainTexture=2 HorizonDistance=2 GroundObjectDensity=3 WaterDetail=2 CloudsDetail=2 Shadow=3 UseAdvancedShaders=0 [soundOptions] SoundVolume=100 SpeechVolume=100 MusicVolume=75 NumChannels=16 ReverseStereo=0 SpeechSubtitles=1 [ControlOptions] ControlMap=Killerbee's.INI Sensitivity=75 DeadZone=20 ForceFeedback=1 TrackIR=1 [MultiplayerOptions] LobbyLaunched=FALSE [MiscOptions] HUDDisplay=1 ForceAIPilot=FALSE DisplayUnit=0 [instantAction] AircraftType=F-4E MissionMap=DESERT StartTime=16:30:00 StartDate=09/18/1968 StartTimeDeviation=120 TextureSet=0 NationalMarking=0 SquadronMarking=0 AircraftNumber=0 KillMarking=0 [singleMission] AircraftType=F-4B Service=USAF MissionMap=DESERT1 MissionType=STRIKE MissionTime=EVENING MissionWeather=CLEAR AirActivity=LIGHT AirDefenseActivity=LIGHT LoadMission=FALSE LoadMissionFilename=F:\STrikeFighters2\Missions\A-4F_ALPHASTRIKE!.MSN MissionYear=1965 StartYear=0 EndYear=0 [Campaign] CampaignName=Jay Test PlayerService=USMC PlayerUnit=VMA-121 Green Knights Difficulty=NORMAL Length=NORMAL AircraftSupply=NORMAL WeaponSupply=NORMAL LoadCampaign=FALSE CampaignSavename= [Multiplayer] Connection=0 PlayerColor=0 SessionType=0 GameType=0 Password=MyPassword MaxPlayers=8 IPAddress=127.0.0.1 [DogfightHost] MissionMap=DESERT MissionYear=1968 Loadout=0 StartTime=10:30:00 StartTimeDeviation=240 RespawnTime=60 RespawnDistance=4000.000000 MinHeight=5000.000000 MaxHeight=12000.000000 HeightDeviation=5000.000000 ContrailAlt=7000.000000 ScreenshotsDelay=60 StartYear=0 EndYear=0 WeatherType=SCATTERED [DogfightPlayer] AircraftType=F-4E TextureSet=DefaultTextureSet PlayerService=USAF Squadron=DefaultTextureSet [CoopMission] MissionMap=DESERT MissionYear=1968 ContrailAlt=7000.000000 Service1=USAF Service2=SOVIET Mission1=SWEEP AircraftType1=F-4E AircraftType2=F-4E AircraftType3=MiG-21PFM AircraftType4=MiG-21PFM ScreenshotsDelay=60 StartYear=0 EndYear=0 WeatherType=SCATTERED [Mods] ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=F:\STrikeFighters2 \ <<<<<< Location of Your Install of SF2 (The Mods or Plug-In's as You call it.) ***** [Version] BuildDate=Apr 2009b Then place Your Weapons and Aircraft in "that" Location of that Folder and all will be well. And You can Label the Folder to a Title of Your Choosing.... Hope this answers Your Question......

Well, You can "Delete" the whole Install and Re-run the Installer and point it to whatever Directory You wish. I'm sorry, I should have made that more clear in the ReadMe....It's My Fault. Yes, You can transfer the Files to a different Location and work with it from there. It's pretty much a "Plug and Play" Weapons Pack with one Exception. Rocket Pod Type Weapons must have there Submunition installed first before the Pods. If not, The game will crash and You will get a MissleObject.Dll Debug Message....

OK....It's TMF's F/A-18A. The Lights are what's called "Slimers" or Formation Lights. Each Skin File should have a File labled F18_Tails.Tga. You can Paint over the Areas with White for the Skull and use other Colors in the Ribbion Area. Just remember to "Save" in Your Paint Program. But keep in mind, This won't turn off the Lights. The Area will still show lighter than the rest of the Tail. 331KillerBee

And I hope You do too......

Yes, If You Load up a Gun Pod and it doesn't Fire, It's because We don't have the Gun Editor yet. Once We do, I'll update the Guns too.......Maybe, the "Gun Shop"......

Happy Birthday! 331KillerBee

Your Weapons Editor and this Thread will be handy for all those ECM Pods....... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=37457

If You are asking Me if Lindr2's Weapons are in it? The Answer is "Yes". If You are asking Me if I ever had Intentions of doing a SF2 Pack? The Answer is "NO". I just sucked it up and did it anyway......

BTW...... IT IS ONLY COMPATABLE WITH SF2 AND SF2V!

One More thing Guy's and Gal's, Our Ole' Buddy Wrench has made a Loadout Thread in the Knowledge Base. You'll need it more than ever now. If You don't have a Weapon to show. It won't be because it's not available. It'll be because the the Platform is screwed up. So, Use the Knowledge Base. (Some DropTanks might not show. Not all of them were included to keep the File size down. Check the Knowledge Base on installing Drop Tanks or Post Questions in this Thread.)

It's Uploaded awaiting Approval.......

Done! Final Count.......1793 Weapons and External Stores. Packaging up......

Thanks! Well I've got all the Weapons done and half the Tanks left. I'll get that done. Then, Beta Test on a different OS than mine. Then Yall' can have it......It'll be soon....
