    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

WW1 Western Front scenery package!

I've edited GSL files (as well as BGLs) in the past with Frhed. It has always worked.

I tested the AD objects and they are positioned in the same places as the LW ones.

I had a look at Bruges and it's going to need fixing in any case. Once again small groups of objects in certain locations have been moved east by a few metres - very strange. I'll substitute the LW wharves with the AD ones.

I'll add Allen's objects to the Library Objects Expansion Pack.

Cheers,
Kevin
 
Glad to know they are working fine. Also a replacement for the LW_wharf_ramp_D1 and fix for missing DP from my last upload.
 
Thanks Allen. Once B24Guy stops finding omissions, I'll post the amended files here in addition to a new package upload.
 
Hi All,
I guess I kind of opened a can of worms. But things seem to be sorting out.
Thanks much for the files Allen. Now I have to just change the Ramp BMP name in the GSL.
I think there is only one used.

Kdriver, this GSL and scenery is fantastic.

Regards,
Scott
 
Hi All,
Well when I finally added Allen's new barracks objects they put me over the DP limit for my install.

I removed Wolfi's Asian houses. Don't think I will need them for the ETO.

It looks like we don't need AD_barracks_d2 bgl. It is not used in the GSL and I could not see any difference with LW's.

Regards,
B24Guy
 
I just went with the 4 objects that kdriver said where used and it included LW_barracks_d2 so I remade it. If not needed scrap it.
 
Hi Allen,
The only one in the GSL file is LW_barracks_d1.
I wonder if Kdriver made a mistake and meant to use d2 and or d4?

Regards,
B24Guy
 
Hi Chaps,

I listed the four LW objects which use the stock texture inf_large_building_1.bmp, not which objects in the WW1 package use that texture.

The wharf ramp doesn't use that texture, but it's no problem grouping it with the other wharf objects for consistency sake.

Allen's amended objects are valid for all theatres of war because of the new BGL names, GUIDs and unique texture names.

If you have a separate WW1 install, the DP count can be kept down by deleting nearly all the WW2 weapons, LW's palm and gum trees, Robert John's raised rail tracks, and many of Cees Donker's WW2 objects. I made a DP list in the download package for the latter two categories.

Cheers,

Kevin
 
Hi All,
Thanks for the clarification. I have removed quite a few DP's.
I had to add Westfront's WWI pilots, because the ones that came with the Gotha pack did not work.
Something with the BGL file I believe. I have not looked into it yet.

I did see the LW_hanger_D1 somewhere as I was flying around, but I can't remember where.

Regards,
B24Guy
 
Ravenna,
I don't think you have to worry about the Barracks.
Kdriver's clarification explains the reasoning for the change.

Regards,
B24Guy
 
Hi Flanders Flyers,

Here is an amended GSL with Allen's wharf section and end cap. I used the hex editor to change the objects. You will have to change the extension from txt to gsl.

After flying over Bruges to make sure everything was in the right place, I ended up moving other moved objects with MB. There were houses in canals after the last amendment a couple of months ago. Once again, when I fixed that problem, MB decided to move all the objects on the adjacent Koolkerke aerodrome a few metres to the east - very frustrating.

I hope this one is OK.

Kevin

Thanks Guys. A very enlightening exchange. I look forward to seeing all the ducks line up as they should. As a sidelight, I'm now getting a missing object message for 'inf_zm_pierwhouse', even though I have added the files.
 
I don't even have that object Michael. ZM_Shed and z_mole_hangar are the closest buildings I have to that.

Ravenna,
I'm sure you deleted the filelist.dat. But that is my first thought. DP_file is the second.
I will make sure that it works and sent it again.

Hi Kdriver,
I think ZM_shed is not needed. It was part of the org. package and did not need fixed.

Regards,
B24Guy
 
Hi Kdriver,
Here is the revised package. Names changed and un-needed BGL removed.

Regards,
B24Guy

Thanks again Scott. I'll add these to the latest version of the Library Objects Expansion pack. I'll post the GSL, an updated installation guide and the missing Furnes texture here to save downloading the entire Western Front package which I will upload again in any case.

Cheers,
Kevin
