I started out on my adventure in modding back in 2009 after installing some effects mods, and just diving in by experimenting with some .eff and .mat files for effects that were easy enough to identify and understand the action of. Soon after that I began making changes to .tga textures using Photoshop.

Then in the next step, to figure out the structure of the .msh files I started experimenting with a very simple house object, first sketching things on paper and making adjustments in Notepad. It was some time later that I learned to use a spreadsheet so as to more easily make 3-view charts in order to visualize things much more rapidly. My immediate 3D goals back then were to make brand new new gun sights from scratch, which I finally succeeded to do with my American N-2 sight for the F4F-3 and the P-40E, in 2014. By then I was well and truly down the rabbit hole. But I didn't get brave enough to tackle Java until late 2019, and nearly 5 years later I feel I barely know enough to be dangerous.

At the end , I have find a compromize....all work if I disable your mother class 10C28AC4C8A11640.....can I know what does manage it's code?

I bet it as mother class due his size.....

[WxTech]

Classfile 10C28AC4C8A11640 is LocomotiveUSSR.class, which is the full code.

My main change:
- Altered the period in which the headlight gets turned on/off when an enemy gets within a certain distance. Previously this was fixed to the period between certain hours of the day. But the seasonal variation, particularly at middle and sub-Arctic latitudes, is too large for this to be appropriate. I use the actual elevation of the Sun below the horizon. And I dynamically scale the threshold detection distance with the Sun elevation, such that when darker an enemy is sensed only at a nearer distance.

Here's the Java file for LocomotiveUSSR.class:

Ok....thanks for your reply!

I can't figure how I have such fortune to have selected this one....

I was trying to eliminate conflict and (as I'm absolutely not able to manage classes or java) I supposed (wrongly) that bigger classfiles could be the same as the ships where there is a motherclass....I simply start from bigger....

I think that something is conflicting in BAT 422 with this active because with this disabled all russian trains work correctly....

And since previously the not showing/placing issue was only with russians stocks....

BTW....

I have made a brief research about locomotives....their capacity is calculated in tons moveable....the Il2 locomotives (assuming that russian have the same performance of german bk52) could handle 1200 tons in plain and 800 with a 3% slope....

Usually a loaded wagon is about 20 tons....

Since war railroads could have higher slopes I'm rebuilding trains of about 400 tons or about 20 wagons....

I plan to finish tomorrow....

If someone like to test I can post my new chief.ini entries here....

I'm very lacking in the ability to make and share something.

But I have my own tricks to use well what's made by the modders.

So I try to use it as beautifully as possible.

I think this is also a way to repay those modders.

[WxTech]

I love you long time--I mean train! Neat doubled Loco. But then, that means a kilometer-long train, right?

[gunny0134]

It's this...'Germany_CargoFuelTrainLong/AA'

This train column was designed by Hubberranz...I'd like to thank him for taking this opportunity !!

The screenshot above is from his quick mission : https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,72445.msg788667.html#msg788667

The train column is contained in the map mod file he provides.

That was fun to watch...

[PO_MAK_249RIP]

Any news on your next effects pack WxTech? ıts been a long time coming lol

[WxTech]

I know. I keep making further refinements, which I really should pause and release what I have. One thing which causes me some bother is the inability successfully compile a couple of crucial 4.2.x B.A.T classes, meaning that for the time being I would be sending out a pack for just 4.0 to 4.1.1 (pre triggers introduction.)

[PO_MAK_249RIP]

Ah I see I did wonder why you had'nt tried to combine a release wıth the latest update. Here's hoping you get the BAT classes resolved mate

[Old_DaD]

Hello persons.
To WxTech..if you should pass by, or any other specialists, of course..
This is related to the MOD HeirHimStatic by Novichok.
That Mod uses the same 3 classes and is important for anyone using any of the new static objects MODS.
I'm having the same trouble as some people did earlier, in placing  .him objects on maps, and in missions

Quote: "I include here my improved House.class. This deals with stationary objects. The 3 classfiles:

  00178BEA6D437F32
  C1E6491A15C0411E
  D60102080342BDC2

- Formerly "RockHuge" and "RockBig" Body types were treated the same; now they're handled differently, with their own effects.
- The "Flesh" Body type is now handled like the others, not be so easily destroyed and also to be able to have effects associated.
- Added NEW Body type of "Vehicle" (and created new effects)

These classfiles are NOT crucial, but do make an important contribution to the variety of effects."
 I'm guessing it's going to be down to the choice of having the effects or the vehicles.
I put the 3 class files from Novichiks MOD above the effects..however, still having probs with placing of objects.
