Re: Eu terrain update

Hi Luk! I've been away for some time in estonia, I'm in Riga right now waiting for my flight back to frankfurt. Looks very good again. I think there is some problem with just porting the hill tops all to SAM sites- it leads to what you have described. I will have to find some number that works out. ...

Re: Eu terrain update

Hi Luk, pretty good work so far! Well, the balkan theater was back in those days with the SP series. I think they improved the AI a couple of times since then and I also noticed they are better with the approach and terrain avoidance now. If you say it's OK then we don't need to. Btw.: I got those h...

Re: Eu terrain update

Hi Luk! Thanks a lot for your shots! I've been busy some time. My boss told me to take some free time because it would be "not so much work during february and march" but the opposite happened. I've been away for almost the whole month :lol: Nevertheless, I got it working in FF5.5, but... I used FF5...

Re: Eu terrain update

I think this is the same issue now, I will try to delete the hill tops or convert them. It is indeed tricky, because the FF5 database is locked and nobody will give me any information about which objective is what number. I also found out that all objectives are broken with the new te_new.tac. I cli...

Well, the reason why it was not working with FF5.5.3 is that I did not create the dds files. SnakeMan had asked this question before in some thread over at freefalcon, but got not reply... He...

I copied the texture.zip (with payware HiTiles) from F4AF (should match yours, I think, FF 5.5.3 doesn't use the HiTiles anymore, so I used that one from F4AF) to the textures folder, copied the new textur...

I now started a thread over at the FF5 forum to see if anybody can provide me some details on the OCD ID's of the ground objectives.

It takes way too long time to check the airbases in-game 3D. Sure that is the final place where the results can be seen... but terrainview still gives accurate info on the finalized L2 file. You'll save much time if you do the checking in terrainview, just see that the airbase and surrounding eleva...

Does somebody know why there is still "nowhere" displayed in the OOB although it is correct on the map?

Re: - mid eighties (1984-1989) campaign editing/creation -

I read Tobias' other thread about adding more objectives than the current 12,000. Bad idea IMO. We do not have a single harbor or helicopter base yet, even army bases are very, very few. Until now, I got a fully working Tac/save0.cam file which does not crash at all in F4AF. In FF, there is some da...

Yep. Those do not have a parent. That's why I wanted to rework those. Also, sometimes the parent is wrong- and so the name is wrong.

Do you have any timeframe for the release of your terrain together with your objectives? We can also wait some weeks, that really does not hurt. Two or three months don't do it either.
