Extractor still have some problems i'm afraid.....I could made the Sea Hurris to use the stock Hurricane cockpit, that might be the easy way.
I always tend to create new slot ac with its own cockpit, artists might want to texture them diferently.
I know its risky sometimes, right now I have a Sea Gladiator on the works, with sliding canopy working ok, and it might be suffering from a similar illness...
You did a fine job testing these bugs, and its seems like an easy fix, as long as I can get my hands on that missing files.
I already noticed the 'STREL_ALT_SHRT1' miss, cause it happens on loading it has nothing to do damage, and it doesn't seem to be doing any harm; all other files are new to me, besides I rarely use the mirror, its a frame eater on my specs.
Please try this:
Correction for the SeaHurriMkI
Take the prib_one_damage.mat file from the MkII cockpit, rename it prib_three_damage.mat and edit it to point to a transparent tga named trans.tga for example;
Do the same for prib_three_damage_night.
Correction for the SeaHurriMkII
Take the prib_one_damage.mat file from the MkII cockpit, rename it prib_four_damage.mat and edit it to point to a transparent tga named trans.tga for example.
We just created two dummie files so the engine don't freeze when he finds what he was looking for on the MkI and there might be no effects on the MkII mirror as it will display a transparent image.
(pointing the mat files to nothing, might work too, but this is safer)
Hope this solve the issues. Please report back if you can.
If this works, I'll adress it on the coming update.
Veltro Wrote:It should work for sure, but i don't know what gauges is for ex. prib_three_damage.mat. If we copy prib_one_damage.mat we'll have probably the wrong texture when gauge is damaged. BTW, be sure, it works.The dummie solution won't display any texture apart from a transparent one, so the only drawback is that we'll see no damage. Mat files are material definitions which will define how a given texture will be displayed; if we point the prib_three_damage.mat to a transparent tga, there won't be any apparent problem, and the freeze will not occur.
But for my opinion, this time would be better code Sea into the Hurricane folder to avoid problems.
Veltro Wrote:STREL_ALT_SHRT1 is coded in the Hurricane Mk.I hier.him cockpit, and of course in java, so it's needed. With Winmerge you can simple merge it form Hurricane Mk.I hier.him into SeaHurricane hier.him. This should fix the problem.Yes, the problem is that the file only exists in its SFS container, that means that the complete path to the mesh must be included in the hier.him, as long as it accepts it - something like "3do/cockpit/HurricaneMkI/STREL_ALT_SHRT1.msh".
Veltro Wrote:Working on hier.him delete all the mesh you don't need (for ex. [FONAR], [FONAR_GLASS]) and add the new ones ([FONAR1], [FONAR_GLASS1], [FONAR2], [FONAR_GLASS2], [Arrester1]). In the Hurricane MkI cockpit folder copy the new files you have created for Sea (FONAR1.msh, FONAR_GLASS1.msh, FONAR2.msh, FONAR_GLASS2.msh, Arrester1.msh, PRIBORY3.mat, PRIBORY3.tga ecc. ecc.You're right, that's the renaming of the new him that I missed. I guess this is the early technique used when first sound mod came out, and new flyables were using existing cockpits.
I'll give it a look, but it should work fine. Hier.him must be renamed as SeaHurricane1.him for ex. also DOSKA must be renamed if i'm not wrong, for ex. DOSKA2.
Veltro Wrote:STREL_ALT_SHRT1 is coded in the java you've cretaed for Sea, as for default Hurricane Mk.I and Mk.II serie cockpits. So it's is absolutely needed in both the SeaHurricane hier.him.Thanks very much.
Give a look to this .rar, it should work fine and it should work also for new Trop Hurricanes for ex.:

Don't worry, your mod works absolutely fine!
