rattler Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 No attitude...just curious here. Its not letting me get past the install button though. Asks me for the installation folder, I prompt one and the install button is greyed out still. The folder is program\ubisoft\eagledynamics\lockon.

rattler Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Greyed out still. Heres a screenie. Don't see any reason why it won't install. From your screen shot you have nothing to stop it. It won't let you click on the lockon folder, foulish question,but, and of course you can't manually type in the path. Ok lets try this. Put the f15.exe into the lockon folder and try to install from inside lockon folder. 1st, attempt. If that does not work, I can send you all the files you need and where to put them but this installer should work. I could send a couple of files to see if we can kick start this thing. In other words you would have some files already installed and it may kick the installer into doing the rest. Cross that when we come to it. Keep me posted. I am on most of the day off and on so it will be easy to catch me. We will get it working just might have to do it the long way around that's all. Cheers, I'll watch for you.

Willy p. Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Walmis, It’s a shame that things like this happen. I only speak for myself but I know the whole community feels the same. Your hard work was not in vain, you gave us a great model that is truly fantastic. I retire in a few months, so if your ever in NC…Fort Bragg area…PM me and I’ll try to pay off some of the beers that were promised to ya! Again, thanks!! P.S. And “Ice”, few of them beers got your name on them too! 44th_Willy p. 187 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://44thvfw.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it in the Eagle Dynamics folder and the Lock On folder with no-joy. Yeah go ahead and send the files to kevin.utleyAT(NOSPAM)yahoo.com. Jus take out the no spam deal there. I wanna enjoy this model. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walmis Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 The installer checks IIRC for config/graphics.cfg, meinit/meinit.xml and lockon.exe Is that vista i see there? If so, i dont know the compatibility of the installer with it, try setting compatbility mode to xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think lockon even works with Vista, not sure. Will get him to try your suggestion. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I can barely get my mp3 to sync with it with the bundled software that came with it. But yeah it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattler Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 My F15 Looks cool. Walmis did a nice job, hope he gets a chance to finish it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattler Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 It doesn't sound like he's interested in finishing it. And it still has no guns damage model. All I can say is patience and we will see if he feels like finishing it. Alot of work so far, don't blame him if he wants a break. It toke a long time for him to get what is now a much better looking F15. The work is hard a demanding, I would want a break at this point too. Lets see. We are still better off than we were IMHO.

simtafa Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hi guys; Thanks for the model but I am missing pilot textures,under airbrake area textures and interior nozzles textures although I updated the model with the latest update found in walmis' signature. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help me? Look back a couple of pages, find where we mention the 3 files that should be in you graphics.cfg file and see if they are there if not put them in and you should be ok. common = ".\\Bazar\\World\\f15_textures.cdds": plus add f15_maintextures.cdds and f15_newtextures.cdds . Start each line with common = etc., etc., scroll down till you see the common commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Im still missing the texture in the nozzle...lot of stuff missing there actually, not even the blades. I did that edit and it didnt fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks rattler;it is working great now,textures showing up correctly except there is no f15_textures.cdds file in bazar\world\ folder,only f15_maintextures.cdds and f15_newtextures files,added both of them to the graphics.cfg file. One more thing,I think there is mistyping in your post,lines end with ";" instead of ":" This gave me a little headache (Lockon.exe giving error) but overcame it quickly. Thanks again.

I hate to say this but uninstall using the uninstall in lockon folder and re - install. First, did you put all the updates in. Bazar\\World, Bazar\\World\\Shapes, and when it loaded did it say parsing meinit.xml. In the ME folder there should be that file and one saying meinit.xmlf15.bak. Let me know how it works out.

rattler Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Everything is there per se. try a re-install and see if that works. Sometimes it does. with Vista I don't know to much about it. I would do a re-install and see if it picks up the textures. I will look around and make sure we are not missing a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattler Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ok, I had that and when I typed in the lines in the Graphics.cfg file it filled in, I bet the front intake view shows no turbine either. What about PIlot is he white faced and breathing tube white also or just the burner is your problem? IN other words do you have all the other textures but the burner.

hitman Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Pilot is ok, the turbines seem to be there...just the nozzle textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
