666th_birdy Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yes, you can add and remove (change)any object you want but you do need a special tool for that. This tools is made/owned by SwingKid and it converts *.scn file to an editable txt file and lets you compile it back into a *.scn file again. Note that if you want to make a scenery with changes you've made, it will take your PC some 13 hours to calculate and compile a new high-scenery file. making changes can be quite time consuming aswell (especially for a newbie) so if you could tell be what changes you are thinking about, maybe I can do it for you. However it's not a good idea to have many different sceneries around because missions made by player1 might have targets in it that aren't present (or moved) at player2 DELL Inspiron 1564 / Intel Core i3 M330 @ 2.13GHz (4GB)___ATI Radeon HD4330(512Mb)___Windows7 Home Premium 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyeddie Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Birdy - okay, see the point you are making. Better left to you guys and I understand that. I have been researching aerial photographs/maps of the airfields for a while now to see if I could make them look more realistic but appreciate that exercise is restricted by the objects we have available. The perfect scenario would be a complete mission builder with access to all objects. God that would be a huge undertaking !!!! How do I get hold of SwingKids conversion tool, I would like to try it out and see what else I can learn, play around with one field just for my own benefit etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woot! Well it's relocating trees and bulidings! Not an easy task! I remember during my service in Croatian army in Divulje AB our XO made entire platoon reallocate a hangar from point A to point B. They performed poor in sharpshooting so they had to push that hangar around for a few hours. :megalol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laud Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hey Birdy! On one of your screenies at the very beginning of this thread I saw you placed some stuff on the apron.

666th_birdy Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hey Birdy! On one of your screenies at the very beginning of this thread I saw you placed some stuff on the apron. Does this cause any trouble with planes joining into a mission at exactly this point?? I was wondering when someone came with that question. NO, this part of the apron is not a take-off or landing slot. There are more airbases that have partly unused aprons. I will probably use some of them to place Tomcatz 'big' hangars on.

Vekkinho Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I just noticed that Nuclear plant NNW from Merzifon! I don't remember was it there in High Scenery v1.1 but it looks very "alive". Birdy, I tought of making populated areas in Merzifon vicinity, that might compensate flat terrain. Adding more buildings and cars would be great!

666th_birdy Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 That Nuclear plant was there all along :) The problem with populating the Merzifon area is that the surface is dull green and the buildings kinda look out of place. The lack of roads isn't helping either. I don't want to concentrate on Merzifon to much right now since this area might be re-worked in BS. But if you have any concrete suggestions, I'm happy to look into it. You could just sent me a mission with statics placed on area's you wanna have copied to the Merzifon region.

Vekkinho Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I don't want to concentrate on Merzifon to much right now since this area might be re-worked in BS. Indeed, modelling the terrain elevation in the southern part of the map would be awesome! I just read this: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=24425 and I must say I'm really looking forward to BS release date. Guess I'm sick and tired of the way things are in LOFC, I mean, I flew there a lot so current map is familiar as picking my pockets. As of your suggestion of adding a static objects where I wanna have 'em I must say I'll see into it. I also got an idea after looking at your radar taxiway at Maykop AB and that highway strip in Ukraine from your new Scenery file. So I though of combining the two, placing a concrete texture like that over that part of the highway. What do U think?! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKungFu Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 hey birdy, (i know this is a long shot), but do you think its possible to add high high cirrus clouds into your scenery pack? The problem with this mod, is that we have to replace a ship within lock on, i was wondering if its possible for you to add it into the scenery so the clouds would always be there without the ship. It might be interesting to check out. Plus the birds posted in the other thread would be a great addition. http://66.249.91.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php%3Ft%3D21999&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://forum.lockon.ru/forumdisplay.php%253Ff%253D24%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekkinho Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well Clouds seem nice but It's better having them as a static object. This way you can toggle Cirrus clouds on/off depending whether one has that boat in the map or not. Just my 2 cents. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekkinho Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oh, can someone point me to Cirrus clouds DL link, please!!!

But if you don't want the clouds to be attached to the ships, just rename the LOM files to anything you like and put that name in the structtable.sht and meinit.xml file.

Vekkinho Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Does following this procedure mean we can assign clouds as, for instance Pyotr Veliki (ship we have no more in LO but remains there since Flanker)?! This way we can have default 3D models still available in ME. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekkinho Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 But if you have any concrete suggestions, I'm happy to look into it. Birdy, perhaps adding few HAS (Hardened Aircraft Shelters) to Maykop would be enough for me ATM. I use Maykop most of the time and there's no HAS at all, so...
