YF-23 Blackwidow II (22 March 2008)

If you have a minute, can you give me an example of what you mean?

From what I can gather that you are saying is that you, essentially, just place the _nif / .dds files into the Art/Units folder and *BOOM!*, they appear because it is enabled in the .ini?

 

[Ekmek]

no, if you look in my upload. the whle file is configured for modular loading. in this case you drop the whole folder (yf23 and all the subfolders) in to your mods folder. in the yf23.ini file you'll see modular loading is set to 1 (default for new mods is 0 for some reason).

But if yo lookin the xml I I have it doesn't have any of the other unit entries. the code reads these files (because they have linked schemas) and appends them to the originalswhen the game loads. its kind of complicated, but thats the basics.

 

[ddogg77]

So, technically I can remove all the XML entries we went over, place your v3 folder in my Mod folder and run with it as long as Modular Loading is set to 1.

 

[Ekmek]

yeah if you just add my art/units folder to dcm it should load find (after you remove the other stuff you created)

Excellent, this info will serve well as I believe your comanche is modular loaded. By DCM, you mean?



I have encountered a slight problem with the Widow as well;

When I play the game the vanilla Jet Fighter has been overwritten and replaced by the Widow. I want the YF23 to be in addition to the Jet Fighter, not the lone Jet Fighter. My goal is to make it the Widow a Stealth Bomber / Fighter option just more powerful than the default. I also am looking ot make it a unique unit.

 

[Ekmek]

then you need to make a widow unitclass and change the unitclass line

 

[ddogg77]

Awesome, that did it! I can't thank you enough for your time in walking me through this. This thread is bookmarked for future reference.

Cool looking unit, but I need to know the polycount. Unknown polycounts are unusable at this time for me, and I have been unsucceful figuring out how to use blender or installing nifscope

Anyone know the polycount on this model?

 

[Ekmek]

I know its pretty low polycount. why would it be unusable?

 

[dutchking]

Yeah, what are you using it for?

Did you mean high-poly models?
