Right! We should handle this somehow.

But how?

Invisible wall?

At the same time, I should remove the You are leaving UN airspace string – I only realized from looking at damson’s TFX video that this string is from TFX and DID forgot to change it for EF2000/F22.

We added a snapshot function in 2012. It’s not a normal snapshot but a noisy black-and-white recon image because at that time, TFXplorer was used as a tool to assist planning of multi-player missions. I feel like we’re a decade past this and all it is now is a burden on the renderer. It should be re...

😲

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if you also found the legendary VIEW3D.EXE!

Code has landed.

This alone would be worth spending a weekend on … early beta version of EF2000 …

Code has landed. The existing moving maps are sufficient; if we find the missing maps, they can be added with literally one line of code!

Code has landed. I didn’t bother fixing the TAW moving map for now.

The repository has been force-pushed to a new version. git pull --rebase is required. GUI: Add Minimap   EF2000: Add Moving Maps   GUI: Editor Glide Speed Depends on Terrain Tile Size   GUI: Remember Window Position   Reduce Wind   F-22: Reduce Flight Model Accuracy from 64 to 32 Bits This wasn’t pl...

This was actually a nightmare to implement. Remembering the window size means that TFXplorer starts minimized if you closed it minimized. This means that during initialization, its window size becomes 0×0 pixels (as with all minimized windows). And this, in turn, causes Direct3D to crash and burn. I...

Next version will have speed adjusted to tile size. I.e. on AC3 maps with 512 m tile sidelength, speed will only be a fraction of that on TAW maps with 3000+ m tile sidelength.

Seems like a lot to discover! Maybe I’ll create a log of file accesses from TFXplorer during the loading of the hidden levels. I doubt that it helps a lot, as I mostly rely on files that you had already discovered. But who knows … Did you unpack anything from Inferno? The very fact that it still liv...

No idea; I don’t count and I don’t maintain a comprehensive list! But aside from the palette names above, I would strongly suggest trying out all known TFX filenames …

A special preview mission of the planned F-29 Retaliator II, which also serves as a preview for EPIC. You fly the F-29 but shoot spaceships. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uSsftAkO6k It was released exclusively on Zero Magazine's October 1990 Coverdisk and was meant as a promotion for the planned ...

There is a small bug that may cause the error reporting to crash; it will be fixed in the next version.

Ironically, I now need to improve the Red Sea moving map: It was never designed to be used beyond 200 nm, as the F-22 MFD cut off there. It looks like this: image.png Extending it would quadruple the required processing power, and it’s already a resource hog. I’ll try and find a way to smoothly blen...

I found maps for all but

• Craig
• NewWorld
• Wales
• Norway (the 200² tiles version)

“No problem” … not . We need to get rid of D3D9, it’s PITA every single time. Anyway … I placed a minimap in the top-left corner of Explorer mode (i.e. not while in-game). It is drawn exactly like the MFD map, but 2D without special effects like LCD pixels. Default range is 2× range of sight. This g...

Test with iff/lbm/libya.lbm works well: I will try adding the other maps. Do we have a list of filenames under iff/lbm/?
