Camel Issues

Trying to get the screenie of the Sopwith Camel with the Camel Corps brought up a few issues. The camels were bigger than the plane. I had split TMod.dat and checking both the new TMod256 and the TMods50-55 I found that their size (Model Type) was 3. This is unusual for ground objects. In the screen...

Crossed posts :)
With the TMod256 I get the correct shadow for the camel ;)

Re: No Camels

What this actually means is that if you are flying Allied over Axis territory then if you encounter TMods 50-57 or 72 the exe will use the corresponding TMog from the "GameData" folder, so it is not just a problem with the camel. What I have now done is to add an additional TMod (256) to t...

Re: No Camels

The cause :) I went back to my original 1.28c version, and checked the 3D.CDF. We had already added some TMogs and 54 was one of them. In default mode TMod 54 is a car, so this meant that we would see either the German version or the Allied one. The files in the CDFs ended up in GameData, so there w...

Re: No Camels

That was curious! The screenie was from an Axis interdiction which showed camels, and I thought that the problem was solved. However, when I flew a RAF truck interdiction I saw jeeps again. So I copied the four TMod files and re named them as TMogs. The RAF truck interdiction gave me camels. I will ...

Your post gave me a clue. I renamed your "TMod.dat" in the "objects" folder forcing the UAW160 exe to use the default one in the GameData folder. Bingo :)

I will try to split the dodgy one.

Re: No Camels

I tried again with this "truklist.mpf" file in 1.28c which included 50-55 so we could see the other vehicles.
No camels in sight :(

Re: No Camels

My files are the same size- the H and the L are identical apart from their names. I converted the TPC files to PCX and they look OK http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a7d8/q0ey8sggmeq7owgzg.jpg To me this suggests that we do not have the correct 3dz files, other than the shadow. All the files came fro...

Re: No Camels

The problem at my end seems to be the TMod54 3dz files. https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/7822/mri66j2dtymdfptzg.jpg They all point to a "Gcamel" TCP, but the only one that looks like a camel is the shadow. In my screenie I had made a "truklist.mpf" with all ten values 54. I flew...

No Camels

In all versions that I have of IRAQ in my various PCs I cannot see camels :(
The TMod is 54 and I set up a truck convoy.

What is interesting is that the shadow is a camel, but the object looks like a jeep.

Moggy have you checked it out? It should help you when you want to try host-only Let me know if there is anything that you need ;) When I made the video I was using a "MP only" version of the exe, so when the game launched it went into the MP screen. At GameRanger it is even quicker becaus...

Host-only video

My Radeon graphics card update came with a built in recorder, so a made a video of a host-only game :) I tried uploading to the FB page, and it seemed to work. However, the FB video quality was poor, so I removed the post :( Edit: I learned how to upload things to UTube, so I did, and it plays well ...
