M198 155mm towed howitzer

[Eviscerator 0]

its my first ground unit, im probably going to start the 'LAV' series of vehicles next

[STS_SolidSnake 0]

Nice job looks like the real one

[StrikingTheMatch 0]

Great job! Just a few ?'s when will it be ready for use in game and also how will you fire it will it be like the m101a1 that came out a weeks ago. I'd like to see it with some type of aiming guide to help make killing everything just a little easier. and thats it hope to see more.

Cool , good job, you should add more details to your wheels though !! Great model

[Eviscerator 0]

they were only quick wheels i put on to judge where to put the rest of the stuff, at the minute thats around 2000 polys so i think i have enough to do it again and im not sure how it will fire, ill have to have a think and get a good .cpp'er to help me out, i dont want it to fire like the m101a1 as thats just a tank cannon, and if i can ill see if i can add more than one person so the gun has a 'crew'

Please dont bring that stupid Counter-Strike number talk crap to these forums

I swear the CS community is so horribly stupid, thats why I like OFP, we have a great community here.

[Airdude2 0]

instead of moddeling it of a sabot round, try using the grenade launcher script, see if you can up the initial velocity.

Sorry for posting Off-topic, but my CS (Half-Life in generl) is broken.

Whenever I try to go on multiplayer with a mod and join a server, The Half-Life Window goes small, so i can see the buttom and top side of my right desktop. Then, the Half-Life exe disspears from my start Bar.

And myy MOUSE freezes. (and HL, too)

And the only way to get out is to Ctrl+Alt+del and End Task on HL.

Soryy fort he off topic post, but I wanna be a "l337 CS h@x0r d00d" toooooooo!

[Eviscerator 0]

ahem, on topic guys?

[P8ntM98 0]

I like that grenade launcher idea. Will it be able to be towed by a 5 ton?

[Eviscerator 0]

i have no idea whether the game engine allows it, but there are some scripts so it might be possible, and i was thinking along the lines of the rifle grenade but a whole lot more powerful

[Eviscerator 0]

im going to get it ingame in a second

[Airdude2 0]

well, i'm gonna work on artillery style grenades/mortars for the resistance artillery, i'll let u know what works best evis.

then i'm gonna add automatic smoke grenade launchers to the tanks in the game. they all have the pods so why not pretend they work (maybe when oxegen is released we'll be able to make the grenades fire from the smoke launchers.)

[Eviscerator 0]

thats basically what i was going to do, as i havent got oxygen, someone is replacing the first few blocks of the m101a1 so i can see what it looks like and i was going to see what i could do with my very limited .cpp skills

[Eviscerator 0]

this is what ive got so far, and it acts like artillery unrealistic at the minute reload and damage and count wise but other than that acts like artillery, i watched in commanders view as the 'grenades' landed about 3k's away

shouldn't you increase the max elevation to 45 degrees since thats the elevation you need to achieve maximum range ( or even make that the minimum distance so it lobbs more. i dunno i think thats how mortars do it.

also you havent changed the grenade launcher script much. i'll post again after i giv eit a try.

[Eviscerator 0]

well as i said im pretty rubbish at .cpp's so i can only change a few things

[swooper 0]

Mate im sorry for what happend before. All i wanted to see is one of your models and i must say you are a good bloke keep it up mate and get those models pumpn ok
