Mega Mod your opinion

[Kuky]

Guys it's terrible i lost MeInit.xml file that i have been translating for 1 week. Oh no i should make a new one:(.

 

bummer :noexpression:

[MAFIA]

I have got news. First of all i started to study at institut, so there will be less time to do mod. Second thing that after fixing my 3Ds Max (now it works on Vista) i continued remapping my BMD-3 model. Third thing that after thinking for a week i didn't found out what files should be in MegaMod. Because if it will be all files that make my Lock On different to Lock On that you install from CD it will be more than 400 MB so i need to think and you maybe help me what files i should or shouldn't include in mod.

[FWT]

Indian air force:D

[Rincon]

for me:

 

MiG-29AE

SAM S-300V

SAM Dzhigit

new countries Iran, Iraq, Greece, Italy, China, India, Switherland, Yugoslavia, Poland

[Laud]

BTW: You can also upload anything to the virtual-jabog32.de server!

[MAFIA]

I ask you what do you want to see in my mod.

 

Do you want:

1) Blue Angles skins (F/A-18A and C-130) - near 20 MB

2) Digital Camo (F/A-18A/C) - 3.5 MB

3) Hornet skin pack (F/A-18A/C) - near 30 MB

4) Make my mod compatible for official ED non-real skins

5) New Countries

6) Remove Yogoslavia from country list AND/OR make Croatia

[Rincon]

Mafia, personally i am more interested in russian-made equipment, so i will go for numbers 4, 5 and 6 (keeping Yougoslavia if posible). Im not a really big fan of the F-18...hope you can set up your mod soon....it seems a reallly good work.

Hi,

I've contacted you via PM, but I would like to state my request out loud as well :)

I would like if you delete Yugoslavia from the list beacause it does not exist any more. In fact it does not exist since 1990 when 4 out of 6 republics left the Federation. What was left was Serbia and Minute Montenegro.

As Croatia and other repoublics (now indepentand states) were part of Yugoslavia, and helped build that name, we feel that Serbian using of name "Yugoslavia" since 1990 was like someone running away with family fortune. I hope that no one will show support to further advertising of this fraud.

Not trying to start political discussion of any kind. Just to point out that Yugoslavia stopped to exist in 1990.

If you have room to add Croatian Air Force, ther were pople working on Croatian mod and I'm in process of contacting them. They will be more then happy to support your work.

 

Best regards

[Arg0n]

Renato has a point, I also worked on Croatian Air-force mod so I would like to see Croatia as a playable side... The other guys from the mod agree with me. I hope you will listen to our pleads and include Croatia in the mod.

[Black_Hawk]

I stand with Arg0n and Renato71 here, and you can all search for historical facts on the net, not trying to start a flame here.

If you need any skins I'll be happy to give them to you. Here are a few screenies:

 

 

Changing national markings is no problem.

 

 

Also, it would be very nice to edit the meinit.xml and graphics.cfg so that all existing Su-25T skins (made by Community members) can be selectable. You could make separate skin packs so that everyone downloads what he/she wants, but the Mod would have an unique meinit.xml so you would just d/l the skin to see it :pilotfly:

Croatia has few MiG-21 Fishbeds that are soon to be replaced by something more modern but something that's compatible with current Croatian Airforce's infrastructure.

 

There's been a lot of discussion on F-16MLU and JAS-39 as a possible replacement but rumour has it, MiG-29 (perhaps evem -35 derivative) is also an option.

 

F-16 has pretty tall ventral fin so most of the croatian HAS should be adjusted, but MiG-29 fits perfectly!

 

Not sure how many Fulcrums are operational in Yugoslavia and do they plan any AF modernization in near future.

I beleive that F-16 will be purchased no matter what. Croatian government is strongly influenced by US gov, and I beleive there will be a similiar deal as with Poland: "If you want our money for modernization of your armed forced, you will have to buy our aircraft". Currently this is postopned due to internal frictions (strugles for cut in dela) and elections, currently schedulled for the end of the year.

 

MiG-29 does not fit into our HAS (remnants of YU Air Force), too tall and too wide. I think there are HAS for MiG-29 only in Serbia, not sure.

Even with HAS in which MiG-21 could fit nicely, they were seldomly used. Most of them are to far away for RWY, which is not so much as a trouble to taxi, but in case of emergency it is very difficult to transport weapons, fuel, trucks with engine starters and "expandables" (air, oxygen, hydro...) and people. Infrastructure was non-existent, destroyed by YUAF when they pulled out. We had one truck each for starter and such, one farm tractor, and one Lada Niva. There was another starter truck which was in no condition to drive and was permanently stationed next to a/c on duty call.

During all wartime period our MiG-21's were at the open. Only 1-2 a/c (on call) were inside of HAS nearest to the RWY.

HAS are used mainly for storage and to grow mushrooms.

 

I vote for any type of a/c, just to get one finally! MiG-21 is way too old and it will be a shame to vaste gifted and experinced pilots, especially when this small AF was so efficient.

Привет Mafia.

Ну и когда мод увидит Свет?

Если проблема куда залить,то лей на rapidshare.com или filefactory.com или лучше на ifolder.ru. Ссылки кинешь здесь в ветке а народ потом сам разнесёт по сетке.

Хотя бы бетта версию выложи.

You're kiddin', right?!

[MAFIA]

Guys i've understood that i will probably make Croatia instead of Yugoslavia. And i think that i need tester of my MegaMod.

[Vekkinho]

Can I be one of them?!

[The_GOZR]

Nope.. far from it.. maybe my Russian was not good enough ( for sure ).

 

.. but seriously i got smacked to try there .. :)

[MAFIA]

Can I be one of them?!

 

Have you got unlimited internet? Because there will be a lot of megabytes...

[Vekkinho]

Unlimited.

[MAFIA]

Unlimited.

 

Ok, you will be tester of english version!

[Vekkinho]

Thanks MAFIA!

 

In that case I'm formating my external HDD (300Gb) to test MEGA mod!!!

[MAFIA]

Thanks MAFIA!

No!!! Why you doing this?

[Vekkinho]

Don't worry! I just need some free space!

[Renato71]

Hi,

Forgot to mention, I would be glad to help with testing, of course :)

Also, I personally could supply you with Croatian ranks and medals. Regarding skins, you will have to contack Black Hawk (I'll put some pressure on him).

 

Also, do you work alone on this mode? If it could help you, I could give you acces to our SVN repository. It is much easier to coordinate work and keep files up to date, especially when more people work on complex project, like LO/FC mod.

I used it when I was doing Croatian translation and people were testing it. It was even more helpfull when we started on Croatian total mod (development stuck for various reasons).

If you put files from SVN repository into your LO/FC folder, it is possible to do following:

- you modify files and you test them localy

- then you upload them to SVN ("Commit to Repository")

- inform others (possible ways: e-mail, group e-mail to people who join developer list...)

- testers also have SVN files copied into their LO folder

- they update their local copy and only modified files are downloaded, preserving paths and filenames

 

For another developer (beside you) it is only important to update his local copy before starting on any work.

If one person is working on only one file, no need to zip the file, upload somwhere, no need to worry about file paths.

If two or more persons are working on one file, they have to coordinate the effort (agree on timeline) so one would not overwrite the work of other.

And, because SVN keeps history, for each file you can check who changed it and when, if they add comment during upload you can read that description, and you can undo any changes (revert to previos version).

 

SVN is quite a gem (and its free), very popular among freeware developers because you can keep up with development without any fuss.

 

Cheers!
