Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 09:23 AM Have you seen the hidden terrain for SDOE called "MVworld"? It's kinda strange too, took my B17 for a fly around it, lots of mountains and castle-like structures. ------------------ VisitFS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 11-20- 09:23 AM Hehe. It's someone from Parsoft/Inertia trying to figure out the ballistic properties of the 'Cows' loadout for the B-17. IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 11-20- 09:26 AM You got me there Harman. What are you talkin about??? Hidden terrain??? Lemme know some more. IP: Logged
Gecko Pilot	posted 11-20- 09:39 AM No, that's not a geck. It almost looks like one, but upon closer scrutiny one easily sees it's not a geck but a sheep. -Gecko =FC= IP: Logged

Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 12:18 PM Hey all, It's not much really, It looks really strange too...it's about 15 x 15 miles, quite bumpy and brown and it has lots of strange structures. Anyway, you probably want to know how to get it? Simple. Use the BigMunger, unbig the Data files that came with SDOE. For example, DATA1.par, DATA2.par and DATA3.par. It's been a long while since I found this out, but I can remember that in the terrain folder, you should see a folder called "MVWorld". The sm files are and tifs are in there if you unbigged the right par files. All you need to do then is make a reference to that terrain in the mission editor. Make a mission, and fly!! (I'm not sure if all the SDOEs released in different countries have this though...I've the Aussie version) It's not really a big bonus though...it's more of a fiction terrain than anything. But maybe someone can re-texture it? ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 11-20- 12:28 PM LoL you guys are funny! Actually hartman, I noticed this when I unpacked the par files. I was wondering what it was for, and now I know. Thanks! IP: Logged
spin Pilot	posted 11-20- 12:38 PM Funny, Just yesterday I was looking at data2 and 3 and noticed MVWorld, I wondered if it would work. I was trying to figure out the files that are needed to activate some of the targets that aren't selectable in the mission editor. This is a neat discovery - I thought it wouldn't work. IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 12:42 PM Yes, I'd post some screenshots but Geocities is going funny again and not in a ha ha way either Very small terrain though ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged

Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:04 PM Ok, here are some screenshot of the "hidden" terrain... (I've re-textured it) ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online [This message has been edited by Harman_5 (edited 11-20-2000).] IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:11 PM Kewl! All we need now are some trolls peddeling flying contraptions and a few humans with Leanardo's Ornothiper (Forgive me if I spelled those wrong) and we are all set! IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:15 PM Hehe, Actually, if we can figure out a way to get rid of those awful....'things'...on the ground (I think they are in a file called "MV.sm") and I'm already working on enlarging it, we could have another terrain!! But I've noticed that there's no wind on the edges of the terrain constraining the planes within it so you can easily 'fall off' or fly off it. Any ideas?? ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:21 PM Slightly enlarged...those things are still there and they're dragging the frame rate down!! ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:24 PM Hmm.... thats wierd. No wind eh? Maybe the terrain isnt as large as the rest? If thats the case it needs to be enlaged even more! IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:25 PM MH or Mighty... how long did you think you would keep this a secret hmmmmm....? IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:26 PM Spanky here.... Crazy ness. Insane. IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:29 PM The terrain is even less than I initally thought (15 x 15 miles) it's much smaller than the 'normal' terrains. Maybe it was a test terrain for the SDOE developers... I'm currently enlarging it though in OPS... ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-20- 01:52 PM Doesn't look so wierd now does it?? ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
Michael Harrison General	posted 11-20- 04:13 PM It's a shame that you found those files. You'll have to die now. I'll miss you guys, but you really have to go. (just kidding of course) The image was part of some fun that Chad had while doing Bessie and the landscape was an experiment that Chad did almost two years ago for higher detail terrain. Neither were intended to make it on to the CD. Do you realize that it took people a year and a half to find those??! You aren't poking around in the assets enough! Imagine what else might be hiding in there. IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 11-20- 04:23 PM I found them back in July. I just never got them to work. IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 11-20- 05:19 PM MH, ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :What MH and the rest of the crew doesnt realize is that a full version of Multigen was packed up in the par files along with the source code: [This message has been edited by ArgonV (edited 11-20-2000).] IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 11-20- 05:27 PM ROFLMAO! I just found out that Bessie the cow has her own hangar pic! Also, what the heck is B17GPath? The cutaway for that has a cool looking metal skin with a yellow tail. [This message has been edited by ArgonV (edited 11-20-2000).] IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 11-23- 12:58 PM Something else I found. I searched thru ALL the credits and at the VERY end there was this: Bizzare Thanks To: SouthPark, Chewbacca, Cows Everywhere, Scotland, Starbucks. Now thats just crazy! IP: Logged
Commando Pilot	posted 11-23- 01:57 PM That would explain why those last pics look very Scottish scenery like LOL. Well i've looked in my CD and apart from a couple of files in the Missionseditor directory there are no other files so us UK guys can't see it, there is directory called smallworld with nothing in it so is there an other hidden terrain or another name for MVworld ? Could someone (hint hint Harman_5) bundle up the MVworld with Scottish type modified textures and post it on simfiles for us mvworldless types. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Commando (edited 11-23-2000).] IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 11-24- 11:55 AM Commando, I've been having probs uploading files larger than a meg at simFiles lately, so I've posted the MV World terrain at my site instead. Follow the link below: http://members.nbci.com/harman_5/terrain/mvworld.zip I'll make a terrain section and add it to the UI of my site later on. ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged

Razer Pilot	posted 12-03- 08:40 PM there is a bunch of stuff in there if you look. when i did planepack 5.3 i found all kinds of stuff in there. I never said anything since i figured people already knew.. There is also squadrons for a B-24 and B-26 crews that don't load in game. There's a B-17 that doesn't load in game but the hangar info is still there B17Path is the name. sound effects of guys throwing up. A guy saying "Ah crap!" There's even a ppf file that has the word helicopter in it. there's so much it's hard to list it all. it's there, just look.. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin "Making SDOE a dangerous Place, One plane at a time!"

Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-04- 01:55 PM I had found them shortly after you released BigMunger, and when OPS came out I viewed them all (all sorts of SM files in the par files), but didn't know what to make of them and kept quiet. But I did see them LONG ago. IP: Logged
