WORLD WAR 2

RedGreasel's?

I never finished this, though I had it improved way better. It was just a video to show someone that it's not impossible (2 years ago)

They look 'ok' or metabolic end product because the model import was messed up, I fixed their sizes/other stuff later on though.

I can open the MSMTL_1.5 files, but i can't find the vehicle.

Redgreazel's, as I said has default models and somehow looks choppier (maybe on the server I viewed), but it is more genuinely like flight characteristics, the aircraft "banks" when it turns and doesn't look "arcade" or 2D. Also maybe some scale issues with his vehicle, the chopper is very small and turning circle is very small. If the best of both mods could be put together that would be great. Your models are a lot better and in low gravity or space, it would look fine, but it needs to be as least as realistic as the parachute or I would suggest people go for ground vehicles that carry passengers or that have weapons that fire. It sucks with my aeroplanes that they don't bank and fly backwards sometimes etc, or that pilot must fly a route arranged by mapper.

I'll make a fairly open map next, to anticipate some vehicles, big streets and plenty of open ground and fairly flat, maybe desert airfield perhaps, so can be planes and ground vehicles and parachutes.

I'm not gonna get your hopes up or make you map something because to be honest I'm not really working on that thing anymore, can't expect anything from me.

[ShadowRunner]

I wasn't asking you to do any work, I was just suggesting if the best aspects of both mods were combined, it would be really great. Otherwise I am not sure why it's being shownit in a WW2 thread, Kalman is trying to make vehicles. Nice mod though DJ.

[~DJ~]

That's exactly what I mean, I can't contribute or merge with something else or so, I don't plan to.

[ShadowRunner]

So I'm trying to understand the point of this post then, how it has anything to do with Kalman's post then, other than to rub in his face that he cant do it and you can. Sorry am I misunderstood.

Kalman, if possible, I'd like to see the tank, so I can figure what part of the war it's from and map accordingly.

[~DJ~]

Read Kalman's post.

We're talking about tanks and planes not spaceships DJ...

I have yet to see any WW2 game with vehicles that move like spaceships and helicopters...

[[FGS]Kalman]

This is the tank

[ShadowRunner]

slight fail, that's not a WW2 tank...

It's not right, if players download 70mb to get WW2 weps then are forced to drive modern vehicles.

That's not a tank either btw

If possible I was hoping to keep to at least basic authenticity, i.e. parachutes, ww2 weps and at least looking like ww2 if not actual ww2 stuff.

Probably most players wont care though, they'll be glad of the mod, which can be used in modern maps also.

[[FGS]Kalman]

Ok, i'll remove this tank, but you can put any mesh instead of this.

[ShadowRunner]

I think players wont care, as I added... but if it's not much work, then a WW2 mesh would be better, and release the modern tank as well, for mappers to use in modern maps. It is perfect for Half-Life style maps...

EDIT

we have permission to use "bigtank" in DXRVnewvehicles. This is the German Elephant Tank, pretty rare, but already imported for DX.

OK this guy makes WW2 planes. 25000 polys: chipbasschao@sky.com They look very awesome and all the more unusual planes.

Here is mesh free for WW2 Spanish Tank http://depositfiles.com/files/wgowlsglh

So far all the maps we've made are Western Europe and because of Clyzm weps, we are talking 1943 at the earliest, really 1944+.

Here is mesh for Renaut Ft17, this would be perfect for all the maps so far, if textured as German vehicle.

Here are 5 allied/british tanks: http://www.katsbits.com/cgi-bin/ikonboa ... t=43;&#top
These look more the usual vehicles seen.


Ah here are german weapons, including MP40. Free.

I'm going to fiddle with these, see if I can learn how to make weps.
