Some of you may know of USNF Final Mission, it was the special version of USNF 97 released in Japan, with special shapes, a new map of the Tokyo area, and a new campaign. More info here:

http://f-19.hp.infoseek.co.jp/usnffm/index.html

I have been sent a zip file containing files a FA player extracted from this game when he lived in Japan. He says he lost the original disk. I emailed him asking which toolkit he used to extract the files, but my limited efforts with the FA toolkit failed to bring the objects to FA. My efforts were veerrrrry limited and I will try some more, but I also think the USNF 97 toolkit would be the best bet. I don't have USNF 97 so I can't install that toolkit.

If someone with more time and USNF 97 was able to import/convert these files to FA, it would be most appreciated.

Link to the files (also on my ATF and USNF Files page): http://farc.3synergy.net/usnf97/misc/Japan_Stuff.zip

Yikes! These are some very nice shapes and skins!

Great job Zephyr! I will get these into an importable lib for you asap.

I will be able to use these for the basis of vastly improved scenery shapes for FAF Korea!

Zephyr,

I will be able to get SOME of these items into the FATK for use, however, can you tell me if these libs work in default FA before I go any further?

Some of the imagery looks to be higher resolution work, and I need to know if defaut FA will support them before I dedicate time to cracking them.

Thanks!

Further update...

Files (OT, MT, etc) seem to be partially written in Japanese, not in english and this is causing crashes in the game. All mission descriptions will have to be re-written, as well as all object description names.

A new object (no Japanese characters) assigned the Tokyo tower shape and textures crashes the game when added in a pro mission. Can't be sure if it's the resolution of the texture causing the problem.

Its the shape file, its unstable. It cant even be viewed.

To bad really, would have made an excellent Radio/DPRK Flag tower by the border!

Here are screens of the rest of the objects:

Final Mission calls the two terminals Narita 1 and Haneda. The other buildings are Tokyo Tower, Japanese Parliament, and Tokyo City Hall (the skyscraper). Japanese Parliament doesn't appear to have a destroyed shape.




How goes importing the map? The missions I'm not too concerned about, I'm tempted to just blank out the Japanese characters with placeholders for now.

Zephyr

This is great!

I don't know about you, but if there's ever a chance of getting that campaign to work in FA, I'd be game to download it.

Those are FREAKIN AWSOME!!!!!!! The terminal and the radio tower are AMAZING!!!!!!!
The terminal x2 faced back to back would make an acceptable Pentagon ( with the extra "wing" for the Office of Homeland Defence lol )
