I just did the Theater ValidAc rename trick. Pretty fun flying those other planes especially the F22. Does anyone know of a file that you can rename to fly the other planes in dogfight?? this could be an epic hack. If anyone understands the file structure we may be able to do this Please dont suggu...

Do you guy's know that you need to modify your .dat file's in Theatermaker to match your Theater?????
Just asking.
demer

Yep. Knew that....but sometimes I forget!

Sherlock

I assume you checked the box on the popup screen that lets you choose whether you want to generate the objectives .csv file or not?

Sherlock

I can not wait to model vulcanos (there is perhaps already prepared such asmoking objective in db? - if not, I can place few factories in the bottom of the creater!) IIRC there is a vulcano obj in FF3 or FF5 DB.. with four or five smoking trail features. it was added in SP or F4Alliance era..probab...

Sherlock

And a 256x256 is too big for the F4 engine to properly task ground units (I think demer stated this?).

Sherlock

err.. how about giving him a second - or thrid chance? or reduce restriction to 1 week? :wink: I agree with ccc SnakeMan. I believe in todays environment of large bandwidth connections that a 100kb file size is way too stringent. I think you should consider raising the limit to at least 300kb in si...

That's fine for editing but remember the Falcon .exe will only load it when it is in 4-byte version.

Suggest you post at the Freefalcon forums since the new FF 5.5.2 is so new.

if i not convert in 4 byte? Is ok however ?

terrainviewlg is for 4-byte Lx/Ox

terrainviewsm is for 2-byte Lx/Ox.

In an extreme condition: i set team A has overwhelming GUs, team B has minimal GUs. TRI and team relations are properly set. Why team A can not start major offensive and finish the war - in a straight forward way? GU composition bug? GU organization bug? PAK bug? Because you do all you testing at 6...

Can't seem to locate any but it does look like they are available for TE's.

Learn to use TacEdit and put your own squadron in where you like it!

Sherlock

Excellent work. Would you be willing to convert it for use in AF for pcx files? We could definitely use a tool like this for our development work.

I know it would be more work for you but I can't program myself out of a wet paper bag!

But I dont have all unpacked flags here. Just the flags I created + NATO flag. I can not find "reverse" translation script for converting default flags.* 2 tga.
Luk

You already have that file. It's the "ProcIDX" file that unpacks the rsc file to the TGA files.

Sherlock

Luk, when working on AF it is very, very handy to have the old Falcon 4.0 loaded with the SuperPAK 4.2 patch applied. This is because AF is very closely based off of the SP4.2 patch code base. From the SP4.2 you can get teh .irc files you need to work on AF. Can you load the old Falcon 4.0 with the ...

Sherlock

When you unpack campmap.idx you get the .irc file, in this file the awacs map should be listed so it will show up in-game. But campmap problem is aready solved. Only flag problem (no 2) ) is not solved yet. Luk Flags are still done the same as in the Wiki. You CANNOT use any other names than the Ko...

I hope Sherlock will help me with UI bugs/enhancements. :wink: Thanks. Regards Luk Glad to help out anyway I can Luk (as time permits). I just moved into a new house so my time is limited right now. Let me know what you need help with and I will do what I can. Just may take a little longer....! ;)

Sherlock

I'm short on time right now (can't read everything in detail) but if Polak is offering up new tiles that will add variation to ODS/IRAN and they are at least 512x512 resolution then I am all for it. WIll catch up later.

I was flying the other night in Iran theater and noticed there are no borders, airbases, etc., identified on the kneemap. If anyone with the proper skills would like to edit the kneemap and add these necessary items just post here or pm me. Personally, I'd like it to closely resemble the AF version ...

Sherlock

This release of the Georgia theater is for developers only. If you don't know how to properly install/fix it then I would suggest you wait for the corrections to be made and then install it later when there is a properly working installation package made.

Sherlock

To Sherlock or anyone who uses FALCON 4.0 AF with Georgian terrain Please note for any AF developers that the command for LxNormalFix above is different as follows: C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\Theaters\Georgia\terrdata\LxNormalFix.exe $LP @georgia @c:\Program Files\Lead Pur...

I have question regarding the PMC Theater buiding TCL scripts. Specifically, the script called "fDivision.tcl". This script basically is divided into two parts, the "bluefor" part and the "opfor" part. This script also makes use of the "fBrigade_Battaltions.tcl" script to create the Division-->Briga...

I think you missed my question I put above?

Here it is again:

Sherlock wrote:...Only problem now is that it puts a SAM unit at EVERY airbase. I was wanting to do it randomly so some would not get a SAM assigned to them. Would you 2nd tcl script above do this?

Sherlock

Suggests to me that AddUnits is the function name, 31 is the type of objective we are scanning and Sams is that we add SAMs. Could you try to change that 31 to airbase type (the generic type, not specific one)? Edit: ***question deleted*** I think the "generic" objective value for airbases is "1". ...

Ok, I have a question... in the create.PMC.Airdefenses.tcl the following lines exist at the very bottom of the script: printout "Adding SAM units to SAM sites" AddUnits 31 Sams printout "Adding SAM units to Headquarters!"

If so, how do you like it, cool eh to get division dumped into a objective instantly like that?

Customizing scripts for Iran; I'll let you know when I get results (or ask questions if I run into a "brick wall" and can't advance!

Sorry 'bout that. I did read the Wiki first before posting but I overlooked your instructions (having a less than positive day today...

)

Sherlock

Is there a "readme" or something on how to use the new tcl scripts? I don't mean within TacEdit. I know how to do that. What I mean is do you use them in a particular order? For example, do you run the fDivision.tcl first and it creates all of the ground troops? Or do you run the PMC.Korea.2.tcl and...

Today I stripped out all the rivers and bridges in the Iran texture.bin/texture.zip using Pathmaker and left only road data in the texture.bin.

Your getting close CCC..............................very close!!!!! :D You may now want to look at the Tile Type's in that Area that you want to cross. :wink: demer In other words, movement doesn't depend on the .thr file. It's completely dependent upon the type of paths laid out on the terrain til...

This is for AF only but could be edited for other versions of Falcon pretty easily I would think. I noticed the red side was unplayable in V0.3.1 so I did this TRI file to fix that.
