Well guys, I'm very happy to present you... the official Aegean Theater of Operations website. Anything new there is to find about our little project, you'll find it here. No download available yet, but we're almost there, just a few days left. Be assured, the Installer IS ready, it's just because o...

Quicksilver

Got it SM, works perfectly! You're goregeous, man... :D (uh oh, girlfriend saw that...) :eek: <SLAP> OWWWWWwwwwww!!! Of course, I just noticed that I already had it in my Falcon folder... is it copied there with other theaters? Probably. BTW, I'll send you the info on our little theater in a day or ...

Quicksilver

SM, that sounds like exactly what we need! Could I ask you for a copy of theateradd.exe? Mail me at beigeflag(at)yahoo.com.

Quicksilver

I wonder how you guys managed to configure the installer programs you use for your other theaters, so that the "theater.lst" file is updated with your theater data. IIRC, the needed line is added to the existing "theater.lst" file during the installation. Do you use some kind of script for this? Fin...

Quicksilver

God stuff there ccc. How about adding this somewhere with the rest of the PMC tutorials?

Actually, you could also add some of those useful sticky threads at the F4Community forums about object placement. How about it Snakeye?

Quicksilver

Yeah, I noticed that. Maybe everyone will think that it's some fix for "Ms. Snakes in her Head" tower lady...

"Doh... nice UI dudes, but, like, the tower is still the same cr*p as before. What gives?

Quicksilver

Whoa!!! If I knew that website would go public begore it was ready, I would have put an "Under Construction" notice on it! Remind me to spank Pigasos for posting that link... :D As for the files themselves, well, the manual is 99% ready, only installation info is missing. That depends on the ATO Ins...

I hope that includes SCALP stand-off AGM & Exocet ASM.

As I already said at Frugals, beautiful work! I'm been waiting for this baby for a long time...

Quicksilver

First of all, it's NOT "agean". It's the "AEGEAN Theater of Operations" (with 2 e's please).

Second, the Installer for the first beta ATO theater is now being prepared. Just a couple more weeks... patience...

Quicksilver

M2000-5 is also needed for Aegean (will be operational from 2004).

Quicksilver

Butcher, check your private messsages ("My Profile").

Quicksilver

Edzim: Hmm.. I thought I knew the problem, but I was wrong. I may try making a new mission with TacEdit, that may fix it.

Quicksilver

Death_119: On the contrary, the terrain is very interesting... islands, mountains, forests, farms, snow, coasts & canyons. As for equipment... Apaches, King Cobras, MLRS, Hawk & Patriot SAMs, AWACS and refuelling aircraft, frigates & destroyers, Leopard tanks, ... and that's not counting what's stil...

Quicksilver

Expect an official announcement on such a theater, in an month or so.

As for that stupid anti-game law, it's been revoked.

Quicksilver

Just to say that my config files don't use any bitmap image to place terrain data. They're more generic, tiles are basically placed according to altitude (coasts -> farms -> forests -> snow mountains). So you don't need a sat image or anything similar to use them. We add region details later by hand...

Quicksilver

Aha... hmmm...

Alrighty then, that's not the real cause, but I think I've just figured out what it is. Thanks anyway!

(did that make any sense?

)

Quicksilver

Hi guys. I hope this isn't a stupid question... :roll: Anyway, I'm using TacEd 2.44 now, and I noted that when I double-click on an objective or unit, I can't see any owner data in the drop-down boxes. In previous versions I could see the default Falcon team names there (USA, ROK, DPRK etc.) but now...

Quicksilver

Thanks mate.

Quicksilver

Well?

Do I have to edit the basic te_new.tac file with only two teams, or can it contain more than two?

Simple question looks for simple answer! (that sounds like a "Personals" ad... :p )

Quicksilver

All right then, thanks SM.

A few more finishing touches such as this, and we'll soon be ready to make our first official announcement, along with a first beta version...

Quicksilver

DOH! I finally figured it out! Damn it, I'm an idiot!

Sorry for the mess ladies & gentlemen...

Quicksilver

Note you, not JUST a simple map... I know how to use the "Save BMP" feature in CATE, thank you very much.

Quicksilver

All right SM, thanks.

So, back to the original topic: is there a problem with the TView 1.54 Export function? Or is it a matter of using the wrong version of TV?

TERRAINVIEW.EXE is for 2-byte .L2 files while TERRAINVIEWLG.EXE is for 4-byte .L2 files I thought that was the same thing? 2-byte for 64-seg theaters, and 4-byte for 128-seg ones... :? Anyway, I haven't worked with Terrainviewlg.exe, ...

Quicksilver

OK guys, first things first. There are TWO different versions of TerrainView available, since v1.53, each one for 64- and 128-type theaters. The same goes fot TInstall too, 2 different versions there as well. Make sure you're using the right one. Now, if I remember correctly, in the v1.54 zip file, ...

Quicksilver

<BUMP>

Anybody? At least tell me it's just my problem...

Quicksilver

I got the latest v1.54 of TerrainView from here a few days ago, and noted that the segments I export with this version are completely corrupt!

Quicksilver

Well Skyfire, nothing else to say except THANK YOU SO MUCH, for creating this great utility. Kudos of course also go to everybody else that helped with CATE, like SnakeMan and T-Rex (hey, he named it, right?! :p ) Now, don't you think it's about time you announced this to the rest of the Falcon comm...

Quicksilver

Sorry guys, just wanted to know why are there 2 .exe versions in the Tinstall zip. Is each required for a specific Falcon version? Nothing critical, just curious...

Quicksilver

Hey, a customised bullseye position! Great, something long since asked for. Good job Schumi.

Quicksilver

Striker, do a search on Google for "Visual Basic 6 Runtime files", for a installation pack named "VBRun60sp5.exe", containing some files needed to run any programs running on Visual Basic, such as CATE. I had the same problem as you, and installing this small pack solved it.

Quicksilver

All right, I worked with v0.2i4 today, and I'm pleased to say that all problems noted by now have been fixed, and Village works exactly as it should now. Well done SnakeMan!

Quicksilver

Hey, I'll be testing v0.2i4 today... I would have done it sooner, but I've been busy... working on sone config files for Cougar #2010...

MINE - MINE - MINE - MINE - MINE - MINE - MINE - MINE - MINE - MINE!
FINALLY!!!!

Aaahh, the masters are pleased with my modest work.

I get a warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy...

Quicksilver

Got it, tried it.

Ownership & control values now show correct.

Random factories are still stuck at team "2".

Let's have the next one, eh mIst3r kod3r?

Quicksilver

Well, here are the config files I came up with for CATE, after some tweaking and fixing errors. Grab 'em here. 7 files in total, each a different step in creating your terrain. Run them through CATE in the order they're numbered, one at a time, re-starting CATE at each step, as Skyfire suggests (he'...

Quicksilver

All right, first, I dunno if we should move this discussion to another thread. Anyway, I tested Village v0.2b. We're definitely getting there... but not yet. The "Control" value for the objects is still fixed at "2" for "ROK", while the "Owner" value seems to be set OK. So the "Control" setting need...
