.dp fix...

To all,

I was tweaking my Eastern Front install so that I could do a full backup, and I noticed there is an error in Paul Rebuffat's Bf-109g-2 .dp files.

The original ones look like this:

[PAYLOADS]
payload.0=%payload_name.0%
payload.1=%payload_name.1%

[PAYLOAD.0]
; Payload = Guns only

[PAYLOAD.1]
; Payload = Long range
mount.1=wep_pr300, 1, -1
mount.0=wep_prbase300, 1, -1

[PAYLOAD.2]
; Payload = 4 x 250lb Bombs
mount.2=wep_pr_etc50, 1, -1
mount.3=wep_pylon_ja_wing, 1, -1
mount.4=wep_pr_sc50f_gp, 1, 7
mount.5=wep_pr_sc50f_gp, 1, 7
mount.6=wep_pr_sc50r_gp, 1, 7
mount.7=wep_pr_sc50r_gp, 1, -1

[PAYLOAD.3]
; Payload = sc250 Bomb
mount.2=wep_prpy_ETC500, 1, -1
mount.8=wep_pr_sc250, 1, -1

The only weapons he provides are there...

wep_pr300.dp
wep_pr_sc250_gb.dp
wep_prbase300.dp
wep_pretc500.dp

So, I tweaked the .dp file to allow for a single, sc250 bomb under the fuselage. (Just copy this and replace what is in your current .dp file)

[PAYLOADS]
payload.0=%payload_name.0%
payload.1=%payload_name.1%
payload.2=%payload_name.2%

[PAYLOAD.0]
; Payload = Guns only

[PAYLOAD.1]
; Payload = Long range
mount.1=wep_pr300, 1, -1
mount.0=wep_prbase300, 1, -1

[PAYLOAD.2]
; Payload = sc250 Bomb
mount.2=wep_pretc500, 1, -1
mount.8=wep_pr_sc250_gp, 1, -1

Enjoy! :wavey:
 
Here's another fix, this time for Akemi's Bf-109g-6 with Kelti's enhanced .dp file:

[PAYLOAD.0]
; Payload = Guns Only

[PAYLOAD.1]
; Payload = Long range
mount.0=wep_prbase300, 1, -1
mount.1=wep_german_300ltank_type2_gp, 1, -1

[PAYLOAD.2]
; Payload = 4 x Dbolt's SC50kg (salvo)
mount.2=wep_pretc500, 1, -1
mount.3=WEP_DB_GER_sc_50, 1, 6
mount.4=WEP_DB_GER_sc_50, 1, 6
mount.5=WEP_DB_GER_sc_50, 1, 6
mount.6=WEP_DB_GER_sc_50, 1, -1

[PAYLOAD.3]
; Payload = 1 x 250kg
mount.2=wep_pretc500, 1, -1
mount.7=WEP_DB_GER_sc_250, 1, -1

[PAYLOAD.4]
; Payload = 1 x 250kg semi-armour piercing
mount.2=wep_pretc500, 1, -1
mount.7=WEP_DB_GER_sd_250, 1, -1

[PAYLOAD.5]
; Payload = 1 x 500kg
mount.2=wep_pretc500, 1, -1
mount.8=WEP_DB_GER_sc_500, 1, -1
 
Here's a puzzler...

I see the weapon.dp vw_etc504 listed as part of the Dora weapons pack, but it is not included in it, even though the texture is. Does anyone have this?
 
wep_prbase300

I encountered this in the mission of BoB. Can I get it somewhere? Or should it be edited out?

are you sure the weapon is missing or just the dp for it? ie have you tried making a dp for the wep and seeing if it shows, also there is no name string for payload.3 maybe that is not serious though

Hi Rami,

I think it's a ventral carrier/pylon for Virtual Wings Pstrany's FW190 Dora. Part of the Dora Luftwaffe weapon pack that should still be available over at Virtual Wings.

I am at work now, so I am writing off the top of my head. Let me go home and I'll post a confirmation of the above.

Cheers!

The best source of dp files for "etc50" and "etc500" on Paul Rebuffat's website is this file -
http://www.myzone59.com/rebuffat/updates/G-2_Jabo_update.zip

However, KH is correct about the reference to "vw_etc504". There is a file called vw_etc504.bmp in the Dora weapons pack on Paul Strany's website, but note that there is only a weapons texture file - no dp file, or even a bgl file, with the same name. That weapons pack is here -
