Regarding the icons, is it possible that their NAME is set to 'Way point'? IF i remember well, unlike other mission editor objects, Translator Icons were different in that their "name" was that displayed on the map, instead of a description or other string that would had to be taken from the localisation files. To show nothing, the translator icon name should be empty or smthing like that. If not applicable, pls ignore this smile

Also as RoF seems very intensive on our rigs and with the RoF campaign generator even more so I wonder if it would be better if we had hidden triggers to bring in enemy flights this would ease the demands put on our PC's? It would be great aswell if the triggers had a probability rating of whether an enemy flight is brought into the fray. Also the triggers could be placed not just along the waypoint route but further afield aswell incase you stray of the beaten path.

Waypoint icons:
I do create waypoint icons for each waypoint. They can be deleted form themission file manually. I do not currently have logic in place tomake them optional, but tha can be done. These icons have been in place for a long time and don't think that I do anything different.

Assigning squadron skins:
Create a skin with the pilots name. It wll be used by default. The same is true of your pilot and aces.


Thanks Pat !
Don't you think that those details should have been in the Read Me?
For example in the Read Me says: "assign custom skins to your squadmates and aces", but It doesn't say how!
Again with the auto generated results the info about how to enable the feature properly is lacking... dizzy

Pat:

Thanks for the clarification. I have a few questions regarding file additions/edits:
- Is adding aces as easy as copying over the format and changing name/dates?
- Is code spacing important? So - it can't look like:
Ace
{
Name = "Fritz Rumey";
Nation = 501;

Skins
{
Skin
{
Name = "";
Date = 01/08/1915;
}
}
- but must have indents?
- If that is the case, will using WordPad be good enough to keep all spacing nicey/nice?

Thanks.

BTW, found an error in the ACE file. Rickenbacker is missing a "4" - for 94th Aero - for his squad assignment - it is one digit short.

It's a shame, I just wanted to give 7.0 a try but I have no time (and to be honest, not much inclination) to register at yet another website and wait for the process. Does anyone have a direct DL link, or maybe can someone mail me the files at helmut (at) shotbyme.at?

regards

If you put down Wings Of Honor as 'yet another website' then it is better you do not register in the forums. It is the only active site I know of dedicated solely to W.W.I flight simulations. Countless hours of work have gone in my site during its 10 years of existence with little feedback from people. But no feedback is better than a feedback like yours with just putting down the site.

And, excuse me, but I wanted to make it easier for me and for the file authors to upload and manage their files by themselves instead of waiting until I have uploaded and published their files the 'classic way'. It is not only the forums but the whole site with its information, news and downloads which take up my time and my money and I do not want anything in return.


Bye

Only German aces are covered at the moment...

Damn. Can't believe I almost missed this - thanks El. Looks real easy to add to entries to the ACES file. My plan is to add entries to Pat's ACE file - and add entries to Ansirial's ACES file giving myself a historical unit roster for Jasta 5, circa mid - 1917.

I'll let all know if it works.
