Attention Frinik

[lockie]

No matter about T26 Offroad. It has to be enabled after SPM1.4 and was add to 1.5, so no useful anymore.

I remembered what it does
It was a fix applied to T-26 vs a purpose to give user a possibility to drive the tank.

My only problem now is to traduct the russian language of historian missions included in Cherkasskoe_beta and Shahovo_beta packs. Unfortunately, I could'nt read the characters of these texts. Do you know how i could read russian characters in my system ?

Try to use a program "Shtirlits IV".

[Wörghern]

Thanks Lockie but I found an another solution. I change my text fil in HTm and read it with Firefox (or explorer) then change the code of characaters in cyrillic(windows-1251) and that's it !

Now, I would like to add the "T35_in_attack_v1.1e" and "T35_in_attack_Firing_Ground2_v1.0e" missions but it seems to alter the matlib.engcfg files. Need to adapt this file to my installation. BTW, check my install. With some transformation to make it compatible it works good for the while.

S!


PS: BTW, do you know how to make the game works fine with high resolution like 1920x1200. Beyond 1440x900, the display is white and black.

[frinik]

  Jochem what kind of graphic card do you have? I can play SF at such resolutions in colour with both mid performance Nvidia and ATI cards ?

I don't think it's your  game that's at fault but you probably need to adjust the graphic settings of your card trhough the Nvidia control pannel or ATI Catalyst suite depending on which brand of gpu you are using!

eVGA Geforce gtx480 . Here my system specs:


Antec P193, Seasonic M12D, QuadCore i7_960@3316 MHz, Cooler Master V8, eVGA X58 SLI MICRO, Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 500-GB, 3Go DDRIII-1333, eVGA GeForce GTX 480 (1536 Mo), Iiyama ProLite E2607WS [26" LCD], Windows Vista Edition Premium Service Pack 2, Logitech G9 Laser Mouse, Logitech G11/G15 Keyboard, Logitech Flight System G940, Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset, Creative Labs 5.1 Inspire T6100, NaturalPoint TrackIR 5

The game is a digital purchase. I had already test many configurations with the nvidia panel but nothing to do.

  Ok then the othe rpossibility is that you need to adjust the settiongs in your game video menu.There are sliders for gamma, brightness, contrast etc.Thye might need to be adjusted .Also make sure the refresh rate 50,60 or 75 hertz in your game matches the one for your pc monitor.

Put Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5 NTA 1.3 the last in line.

Already do that. This is always a problem that I experiment since I bought the game there was two years ago and never find a solution. I have to check the Desktop resolution to make the game works right.

Put Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5 NTA 1.3 the last in line.

Thanks Lockie   I just have the "Steel_Sound_Mod_collection" beyond SPM 1.5. The others files don't alter it because I have adapted the different files to it.

BTW, I have too deactivated the PzVI_Tiger_Epack that do not mach with the new one.


S!

Thanks for the info on Sokolovo map was able to generate with poly file got it confused with polypack file as Kyth pointed out. That was a little tricky took about 5-10 minutes to generate i was worried. Frinik maybe you can explain to Jochem he has it implemented in the mod enabler and that is not  necessary. Now ive got to figure out where those Lancasters are.  Cheers

[frinik]

  Wow! That's what I call a graphic problem!!!! It may be a problem with your driver????Do your other games work normally with this card?

The only time I have had a similar problem ( landscapes in strange colours) was when one of my cards ( an Nvidia) was failing  , it was overheating and then creating artefacts and glitches like on your picture.

Hopefully and proabbly it's not the case but if the in game settings and the Nvidia control pannel don't help I am not I can.Try checking if the driver(pilote) is up to date?

Do you ahve another pc or laptop where you can make a copy of your game and test it?

The Tiger VIe pack is compatible with NTA1.3 or 1.4, in fact it's compatible with every single other SF mod.I still use use for the Tiger skin in 3 colours which beats the Tiger SS or original stripe grey and black TIger skin.

[Wörghern]

I have the last driver installed. As I know, this is a problem I'm following since some long times ago. I had searched again and again for a solution. Never find it. At the begining, I re'installed the game again and again. I never experiment this problem with an another game exept...Actung Panzer: kharkov 1943. It's crazy but I can't play with resolution beyond 1440x900. Otherwise, the display is bad. The two games are GAMERSGATE digital purchases.
Check my system specs:


Antec P193, Seasonic M12D, QuadCore i7_960@3316 MHz, Cooler Master V8, eVGA X58 SLI MICRO, Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 500-GB, 3Go DDRIII-1333, eVGA GeForce GTX 480 (1536 Mo), Iiyama ProLite E2607WS [26" LCD], Windows Vista Edition Premium Service Pack 2, Logitech G9 Laser Mouse, Logitech G11/G15 Keyboard, Logitech Flight System G940, Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset, Creative Labs 5.1 Inspire T6100, NaturalPoint TrackIR 5.












It is is sad because I have a very good machine. I'd like to play these two wargames in high resolutions for better viewing, but....If somebody have a solution because I'm tired about this.

I have test all the resolutions above 1440x900, check and uncheck desktop resolutions, adjust all the lighting parameters of the game, check and uncheck functions of bloom, local lighting, change the parameters of the control panel, etc, etc. I have test many combinations possible without success.


Schuss !

[frinik]

  YOu have good specs.

BUt you know now that I think about it I had a similar problem recently.I was tinkering with my HD 5670 graphic card settings in the Catalyst suite gaming pannel in order to find the best combination of best image quality and best fps.I remeber playing with the mipmap settings tunring it off or setting it to performance rather than quality and when I played the game the graphics were a bit like yours ghostly and with awful colours.I promptly reversed the changes and the game became normal again.

My advice is check your graphic card gaming setting, Anti aliasing, texture filtering, buffer filtering, mip map, anisotropicfiltering  and see if not is not either turned off , disabled or set to performance instead of quality. As well if you have Open GL set turn it off.My hunch or feeling if you will is that's where your problem lies.Especially since this problem  occurs only with  your Graviteam's games.

[natalia99a]

Jochem, have you ever tried Nvidia Inspector?  I had my screen fade to total white because of antialiasing being turned on, using Nvidia Inspector stopped the white screen. I would send a link to the site that talked about it but I guess I forgot to bookmark it

but the one I use is 1.9.5.5 as per the instructions on the (lost thread) and the offset for the antialiasing compatibility was 0x000012C1

hope it helps 

[Wörghern]

Thanks for the advices Natalia et Frinik....I'll test again my video card and report if problem is resolved.

[natalia99a]

I found the link, this can explain it far better than I ever could

[Wörghern]

Thank you Nat, gonna to test it now

[Wörghern]

YEah ! Seems it works ! Finally, I could use high resolution. Now, I would like to add FSAA but it seems do not work with this game....The same for AP Kharkov 1943.

[frinik]

 Good to hear that your issue is solved.I think Kyth might want to make this a separate resources sticky as this problem has been mentioned before by somebody with an Nvidia gpu.

Jochem; speaking of Anti Aliasing it seems there is a way to implement it into the game.Read this series of posts (last one is 20th April 2011:

http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=3882.0

I think you need to use the same Nvidia Inspector

[Wörghern]

Thanks frinik, found this tweaks this night to make AA to work with Sf1942. Otherwise, the line Steel Fury 0x000012C1 does not appear in my compatibility list. Is somebody had an idea about it ?


BTW, I think I have found the problem of my crazy display: it is due when I check the option to override any AA application..



Schuss !

[Wörghern]

Just a message to share you a link from our french forum "Le clan des officiers" where we are somebodies to like and enjoy Steel Fury Kharkov 1942.  I have posted a review to present the last upgrades of our tank simulator with many screens. Hope you'll like it.

Have a good read !

Thanks

I enabled Lockies nta, and in the editor alot of the tanks etc have Russian names and i dont see any extra aircraft. Is this new tank add-on the next step before the alpha 1.5 version of steel fury and will there be alot of missions made with it and is it necessary as the next step in the evolution of the game?    Cheers
