Thanks for answering! I was starting to lose hope. If there was a command line, where would it be (What file or menu is it under?)

Seeing as you dont know where your command line is, you dont use it. Somewhere, in FGRun, there is the scenario chooser, maybe you should look for your scenarios in there. Maybe you just started FG normally without the Bombable ferry scenario.
Google it!

Oh, I found the command line! Duh... What do you put into it again. (sorry I'm a clueless noob)

Don't worry, you'll learn. Have you heard of the wiki? (wiki.fligthgear.org)

It's VERY useful, you should check there for even more command line options and all your other questions before posting in the forum.

So i'll just shorten the wiki a little bit and tell you this, to bomb ferries with the bombable script, you must enter:

fgfs --aircraft=A-10 --ai-scenario=SanFranBayFerryInvasion

some nice other option is

--enable-game-mode (this gives you fullscreen)

Thank You!! :D Got it working! I guess I'll check out the wiki now, as to spare smart people the burden of answering my stupid questions!

Hi, I discovered just yesterday bombable, it is really a great work, thank you very much for this.

Indeed, I've installed bombable3h.zip in my CVS copy, and discovered that the copy was not really clean after that :D ... anyway, I've cleaned it up, and I let here a bash script to automagically clean the CVS tree, keeping bombable installed.

To use it, it is very simple, just put the bombable's archive you used in the root of $FGROOT and the script. Execute it, this may take some time because of a "cvs update", and it will ask you a question when patching some files. The question is "have you been asked by `patch' to assume -R at least one time", if it is the case please press y, any other key otherwise. The process need to be repeated until patch doesn't ask anything. I haven't really searched why there is this "problem" of reversed patch question, anyway it works...

Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash

archivename='bombable3h.zip'

[ -e bombable3h.zip ] || {
  echo "error: $archivename needed in `pwd`
  exit
}

#first rm all files from bombable3h.zip
for f in `unzip -l $archivename|awk '{print $4}'`; do
  [ -f $f ] && rm -f $f
done

#correct these altered CVS conf files
list="Aircraft/SPAD-VII/Dialogs
Aircraft/SPAD-VII/Models/Interior/Panel
Aircraft/sopwithCamel/Models/Textures
Aircraft/sopwithCamel/Models/uiuc
Aircraft/sopwithCamel/Sounds/uiuc
Aircraft/sopwithCamel/Sounds/yasim
Aircraft/sopwithCamel/Models/uiuc/sopwithCamel"
for l in $list; do
  echo data/$l > $l/CVS/Repository
  echo ':pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9' > $l/CVS/Root
done

#get a clean new base
cvs update -dP

#then patch all files already existing in CVS, and modified in bombable3h.zip
#this may need to be processed several times
echo "now we want to patch some files..."
echo "you may be asked if you assume -R, answer y (yes)"
echo "I'll ask you at the end of the process if you had to answer to \`patch\'"
echo "if you've had to answer to patch we'll need to do the process again"
echo "ready ?"
read
answer="y"
while [ $answer -eq "y" ]; do
  for f in `unzip -l $archivename|awk '{print $4}'`; do
    [ -f $f ] && {
      unzip -q $archivename $f -d bombable
      diff -EbwBa bombable/$f $f > bombdiff
      [ "$?" -eq "1" ] && patch $f bombdiff
    }
  done
  rm -fr bombdiff bombable
  echo "have you been asked to assume -R at least once ? (y or n)"
  read answer
}


#then add all files not included in CVS
for f in `unzip -l $archivename|awk '{print $4}'|grep -v '/CVS/'`; do
  [ -f $f ] || unzip $archivename $f
done

exit 0


[edit: hope this helps some of you, and I've done all of this with separated command lines, and put together on the script, so I haven't tested it yet]

best regards,

I have managed to make every aircraft carrier in FG with bombable effects. I will make them available soon along with a few bombable AI aircraft and new scenarios, including a few planes I modified to use in those scenarios

Can't wait, I know I can hit those. I used to play with the weapons by shooting them. A couple of rockets even blew up right in my face once when I fired them from the AD-6.

It mat not be perfect right now, but I will try to get the bugs out. All I know is that it will be hard to kill once you leave the carrier. Try some dive bombing once I make it available.

Thanks for reminding me. Recently I was all caught up in my schoolwork, but other than that, its done. I am also including a few bombable AI scenarios and some of the planes I modified to give it bullet effects. I am still trying to figure out how to get hellijah's stuka to drop a bomb. Just to be of help, the aircraft I modified all have the "e" key as the trigger exept for the J7W, who uses the spacebar. When you are on the carriers, they will move up or down a bit, but editing the .xml file will help only slightly. The carriers won't be as easy to sink, though it takes a lot to damage it slightly. Dive bombing will probably be recommended if you hope to sink it. I will also try to make more targets soon, but I don't know how long that will take.

Thx, i will take a look to see how it works.

About planes able to fire bombs, i made a list of planes able to fire weapons
here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6713#p58859
Maybe it helps, ;)

Hey good work! I haven't tried yet but I'm about to. Does it work good on 2.0? Is there any chance that this could be included on CVS so it's part of FlightGear? Maybe the ones that don't want it enabled could just disable it right?

I use 2.00 cvs and it works. If you want bombable aircrafts, take a look here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6797#p60293
