My first goal with nations was to install it and to move the Zero into the Japan section.
First I modified the Zero's loadout.ppf file to change the country to Japan and second I modified all previous mission files to refer to Japan instead of Germany. It now works and shows up under Japan in both Training and the Hanger and I even get Japanese language but.... How or what do I have to do to get the A6m5 to totally disappear from Germany in both the Training and Hanger sections?

Thanks for any help

You're so close

You have to go into Media\GUI\Art\Hanger and make a new folder- Japan. Than go get the Zero out of the Media\GUI\Art\Hangar\Germany folder and put it into your newly-created Japan folder in the same area- and that should do it...I think

Heya Tail-

I'd look through Laika's posts in the Tech Talk section and there should be a link somewhere there.

Speaking of which how do I get the I16 to appear as a Soviet Union a/c? It has not got its own file in the US folder so what do I do? I tried making it a new one and edited the loadout accordingly but still no joy. It has disappeared from the US now though.
Thanks

Well- I guess first off- you have to find it!! You have it in the aircraft folder, right? OK- the only thing you change there is the loadout (which you said you did!) As far as getting it into the Hanger and Training missions- the loadout change will do it (that's descCounty, descPicture, and descStats)..then you go to the Media\GUI\Art\Hangar and make a new folder in the Soviet Union called I16. In there you put the stats.bmp and cutaway.bmp...and then if you've changed the hanger and training missions to reflect a proper Soviet squad- you go in the game and enjoy!!

Snake, Jeeves has a good post in one of the Nations threads explaining how to move the Zero and the I16 into Nations.

Hint: make sure the str Soviet Union has no spaces, as in SovietUnion. Jeeves' instructions assume we know what we're doing, which I don't. Had to figure that one out on my own.

Damn Jeeves, you beat me to it. Was it an str or descCountry that requires no spaces?

Sorry Jerry... I've been working on the Nations project so long- changing this ppf, moving that one, etc. that I forget others may not know what the hell I'm talking about Guess I better stick to the mission making, eh? Glad to see you have it up though Snake. If anyone is having trouble with what to do with which file- please e-mail me- I'm answering that more than I am here (well...maybe )

Kat-

Wow....that is whacked out...can I have a little more info as to what is where? I don't know too much about reinstalling and what is necessary and where it goes- but as far as Nations go- there are I believe 2 files in the Zip (If I'm wrong- let me know-- I let Werner Zip it up and since I have it I didn't look at it)- a par6 and a StringTable (plus the ReadMe I guess). They should both go in your Media file- let the StringTable overwrite the one in your media folder- it doesn't affect gameplay- just adds in the Nations. Let me know by e-mail what happens...k?
