In order for the imported ships to show up in the editor, you need to assign them to a nation in the meinit.xml :) .

Hehe....no I don't but if you want to assign the ships e.g. to Russia, just do the following:

1). Search for the word "KUZNECOW" - this should bring you straight to the place you need to find, which looks like this...

....again adding the line marked in red.

I took the code bits shown above from a mod I did myself once, so you can just cut & paste the lines and use them directly for your purpose.

Hope this helps :) .

What kind of error?

Anyway, you have to be extremely careful about your editing - forget one ">" or the like and you have a problem.

Textures in cmd files

how i can extract/replace textures from cmd files ?

*.CMD is a 3D model file, you should look for textures in *.CDDS

Rudek,

The textures for those ships are already in Lock-on's CDDS archieves :)

- JJ.

rudek · January 7, 2007

do you have a name of the files?

Brit_Radar_Dude · January 7, 2007

JJ - I'm always interested in the possibility of adding new ships to Lockon.

Are you saying that the MEInit edit you mentioned above will add all those ships to Lockon since their (Flanker) textures are already in Lockon (but unused). Or is it just a subset of those ships? If so, could you confirm which of the ships textures are waiting for me ?

Finally if I did the MEInit edit above, would Lockon crash when it tries to go find the missing textures ? It has been at least a couple of years since I last messed with the MEInit - the heady days of adding helo's to land/take off from Neustrashimy etc. I guess I have become more cautious with advancing age......

rudek · January 7, 2007

oll ships present and working but textures bad

Alfa · January 7, 2007

murena

Do you mean the textures or the CDDS archieve in which they reside?

Anyway, the textures used for the Azov model are:

- "USSR-ships.bmp" (main texture)

- "ships.bmp" (not sure what this does)

- "oblomoki-bort-1.tga" (damage)

- "oblomoki-bort-2.tga" (damage)

- "oblomoki-bort-3.tga" (damage)

- "nomera.tga" (hull numbers)

- "BANO.tga" (collision lights at night)

IIRC these textures(mainly "USSR-ships.bmp) are used for the majority of the Russian ships in Flanker(including the ones you listed), but not for the Neustrashimy, which was introduced only with the Flanker 2.5 add-on and has more extensive texturing.....but then that ship is also in Lock-on and in fact the only one that was transfered directly without getting a new 3D model.

JJ - I'm always interested in the possibility of adding new ships to Lockon.

Are you saying that the MEInit edit you mentioned above will add all those ships to Lockon since their (Flanker) textures are already in Lockon (but unused).

Yes - activating those "Flanker ships" in Lock-on is the easiest thing in the world to do :) . You just need to copy their 3D shapes from Flanker, paste them into the Shapes folder in Lock-on and then perform that simple meinit edit. Everything else is already done and the textures are present in the CDDS archieves :) .

Or is it just a subset of those ships?

Not understood mate :D .

If so, could you confirm which of the ships textures are waiting for me ?

All of them :) .

Finally if I did the MEInit edit above, would Lockon crash when it tries to go find the missing textures ?

No this will never happen - in case a texture is missing, the 3D model will just show up without any in the game :) . Texturing is controlled by the 3D models - not by the game engine :) .

It has been at least a couple of years since I last messed with the MEInit - the heady days of adding helo's to land/take off from Neustrashimy etc. I guess I have become more cautious with advancing age......

LOL.....no need mate. Just back-up any file before you start editing....and if you need to revert to the original(in case you make a mistake), remember to remove any corrupted version from the directory - just renaming it will not always "disable" it.

Cheers,

- JJ.

That's because those Flanker models are very old ;) .
