Hey Man...
Im no expert
I don't understand why you merge your Static's file?
Do you have two Static.ini's in your Mod folder?
If so get rid of the one in the Static_AC folder as you don't need one there.
Only keep one in the STD subfolders.
You could open one and click"edit" and then "select all" right click to copy
then add all that to the bottom of the other.Now you only have one Static.ini to fix.
It may be long(with lots of double showing objects at the front and the rear of the list,
but it will still work
You may then go into the FMB and scroll through the objects writeing down the object numbers
of all objects that don't show.I take it you mean that when scrolling through objects,
some lock the view screen and they become locked so you can't view the object,right?
once all this is done you would then go into the Static.ini and slowly go through it counting the objects and cutting the no-show objects out saving them to notepad for later if theres a hassle.
Slowly you would get rid of those unselectable (hidden)objects out of the FMB Objects list.
Anotherway,and the way I think I would do it.
I keep all info from any download that goes into my game.
I also copy and paste my downloads ,leaving the whole download there for later for BU
Every object you have added comes with a info readme with the info needed to be added to your Static.ini
You could open notepad and then start to open and copy and paste all the Static.ini info from all the ReadMe's from every download that you have added objects to the FMB from.
You could fire the game up and test it and look for messed up objects not showing from each add-on,
as you add them on,to find where the Bad objects list comes from.
Essentially building a new Static.ini from the ground up.
You do not need the 4.09 Static.ini info added to your Static.ini as all those objects are Hardcoded into the game.All youy need in your Static.ini is the info for every object you have added to the FMB.
There really is not a whole lot that get's added there.
Cannon's , Fabian Fred and Lal_Rones Hanger Mods 1 and 2
as well as Lal_Rone Fotification mod ,Flag Packs,MadToc's new farm objects(are they cool objects).
and so on and so forth for what you added.
Everyone of those downloads came with a readme containing the info to add to your Static.ini
Take all there Static.ini info add it to a blank notepad and save it as a text file.
Then copy and paste it away for BU,then rename the Orig. text file you created to Static.ini
You have now created your own Static.ini from scratch that has only the info of your downloads,
and only the info that you added.
There is no real order in a Static.ini
I have cut all winter objects and pasted them to the end>Summer at the front Winter at the Rear
I have re-arrange all my objects for mission bulding,grouped airport objects ,desert objects ete ete
There is no order to the file,you may add anything, anywhere in it.you can change the order od it all ete ete.
Just make sure , you do it in groups
The groups all start like this>
//========================
[***]
Title House
//========================
blah blah blah
you can regroup them as groups ...anywhere in the Static.ini you want that group.
I am not sure on this though>
I believe I have some info in a Static.ini that is for "Map Making"
I am not sure though as I have not studied how to make maps.
I think they are objects for groundplates and things for map making.
and that they are only accessible through "Full Mission Builder"
So if those object were in the normal FMB or the FMB+ ,
they wouldn't show although they would be in the list but unavailable to select.
(I am not sure though,maybe a map maker could enlighten us on this).
I would just build one from scratch,it would take less time and be more accurate I beieve
I am presently going through my Static.ini as we speak,
as I had trouble saving on the Thailand map because of the Static.ini getting messed up.
Thailand now works perfect with ome nly getting my Static.ini in order.
I would look at you Static for you,but I am afraid that I don't know what all you have in your game
as in object's, so it really wouldn't do you any good for me to look at it.
Do like I mentioned and start going over your zip files and build a Static from scrtach
Screenshots would help as you mentioned you were going to take some
Easy
