Well, this is just miserable...

 

Idk what's wrong with the tool lotsbiss provided but this is just miserable 😞; the tool that I tried and got from Mod DB is at best used as a model replacer on its own, and when I tried to extract the model (I tried the A-10A as an example), it turns out to be a weird square-y and like, boxy model that to me, it looks like someone has put together a drawing on a piece of paper and colored it with a crayon or smth 😄.


 The same thing happens with another example model that loaded with 3D Object Converter app that it got bad polygons that turned up to be this bad, to which I highly doubt if it's even usable as a reference point for aircraft modeling and replacer.

 TBR with ya, I've heard of the name lotsbiss, and in the translated Readme, he's a Chinese modder (mod maker), one of the legends that once made the AC7ModTools app for texture viewing. No offense, but it seems to me that, back when he was the king in H.A.W.X. modding, he didn't even test whether the export function works, as in, when you extract the model, it should be shaped like the one in the game. If I was an adequate programmer, I could try to improve his app so when extracting the model without any sort of replacement, it shouldn't come up as that IMO.

 Well, even though I did refer a fallback to the first H.A.W.X. game, I looked at the list of the planes and they're quite a lot compared to H.A.W.X. 2. Weirdly enough, in the list of playable planes directory, I saw Super Étendard and SEPECAT Jaguar, to which I can use when making new plane addons. Well, through the effort of grinding, ofc, because lotsbiss' tool that was made in 2009 was for model replacer (how else can you explain that the exported models glitched like those two pics I showed to you earlier?).

Now, the real concern about pulling the models out is that the Ninja Ripper's D3D Wrapper (D3D9 injection) doesn't seem to make the game run. Trying it on DX10 app, it spits out this error:


 The last resort will be the Intruder injection, which has to be run through the Ninja Ripper app itself.

 

I have to say, it's not the end of the world now that Ik that lotsbiss' tool is unreliable to extract the model without having to enter the game, but again, Ninja Ripper will be the last resort of model extracting if the only option I have is not working and/or unsatisfactory.

More updates on modding life soon. 👍 Thanks for reading.

The cracked ZMod3 is a no go

As the title implies, the cracked ZModeler 3 is a no go, and that really impacts the KMS activation of both Windows and Office (can't say if it's true, though). So, the backup resort has been made in case Office can't do sh*t on editing or making documents again, which is 4 days from now on. I'm using the OpenOffice like the one Linux Ubuntu has. This year, this... goddamn ZModeler 3 that's cracked by Dr.7FAR , has a significant no go, even though the environment (on Windows 7) was ready and all 3 options of crack have been tried while starting that false-flagged VBS script file that AVG Antivirus gets crazy by every minutes. Some of the EXEs have Alexa name in it when AVG detected one in the list of running processes. I can't assure that will hurt the SSD where my OS directory is, but if it's real, like I said before, I could end up nuking my PC, like... this OS I installed will become fully reset, like those dudes that have been VAC-banned from a gam...

Modding the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer, it's not easy to begin with...

Image
So let's begin. Here's what I do recently to the pre-exported Burke-class destroyer. Not almost as similar as the picture above, though, the destroyer ship can be fitted with SM2 missiles, Harpoon ASMs, and Tomahawk cruise missiles, as well as a frontal main gun and two CIWS turrets. It can land with a max of two helicopters as of Flight II type. Games that based on old DCS like LOMAC, LO:FC, LO:FC2, and DCS: Black Shark only limit weapons functions to anti-air, anti-ship, and anti-ground combat. A cruiser like Ticonderoga-class and a frigate like Oliver Hazzard Perry-class has this function. Tico-class is equipped with same weapons as Burke-class, but Perry-class is minus one: the Tomahawk. There are advantages and disadvantages placing the Burke-class destroyer in the DCS game. You can have the same advantages/benefits as the Tico-class, but a matter of fact is that the ship is armed with only a 127mm frontal cannon. There is a chance that the ship may encounter CQC, s...

UNS Evolutions mod seem to bring Connections into Storm 4...

Image
 I mean, the title says it all. I asked such question over Steam Forums but no one ever get back to me to get the answer, so I decided to do my own research. Remember what I said before about how this blog went absent and I talked about Storm Evolution mod ? Turns out, I checked out the changelog today over the website I once got in a YouTube video and I'm pretty surprised that they bring the Storm Connections' new characters into Storm 4. I'm still wondering tho; how did they do that? Not to mention Lars, of which he's originally a TEKKEN character (I saw that in one of STORM MASTER's videos) but... really ? Ngl, some of you might not gonna like Connections for a huge number of reasons (even I complained about how overpriced Connections is, but it's worth it, considering I'm not a huge fan of using Total Conversion mods unless stated otherwise, especially on different games), but I made a review of the game which specifically geared towards this set of new...
