Updated Ammo Crates [WIP]

[Doofy 2]

I will say some if not most of us like the small things just as well as the big things in Arma..I have been working on updated ammo crates"well" a different style of ammo crates.. it has just been me messing around and one other person helping me with config s.. i plan on having 4 main ones that will be same size they are in real life..I plan on making them empty so you can use a script to fill with whatever you want .i would love input on that ..Also plan on making stacked ones for vehicle ammo ..Empty of course..the pics I'm going to show are just with a co texture and no really any detail.just a low Polly model and little color..I'm trying to get the models ruffed in then go back in put in detail :)

Good idea. Some marking on outside would be nice so you kinda know what's in box ahead of time.

[Doofy 2]

yeah i was thinking on like making one for Rifles,Heavy Weapons,Lunchers,pistols each containing diffrent size crate. Launchers would be long like this ..either way you will be able to put whatever you want in it but non the less allot of us like details :) not to mention i think all of us hate looking in ammo boxes that have all sorts of different things but look the same lol

also updated pic of model

Nice crates. I spend at lot of time with similar sorts of cases at work, so they are dear to my heart. :) Keep up the good work.

Thank you Doofy! I was hoping someone would do some crates. Looking at the same ones over and over again got boring. So it'a pretty nice seeing you're putting this together for the community. It's a welcomed project for sure. The only thing I request is if possible, could you also link us to bigger pics of your work. Right now they are just soooooo tiny. I know they typically have to be kinda small'ish when posting the image directly due to forum rules, but a linker to a higher res version would be nice. :)

[Doofy 2]

Could use some normal an specular maps.

Its looking really good especially if you consider the boxes as something like an Ammodrop.

Scalewise your right on the mark. Add some Dust and scratches to the box and your good to go.

I would love to see some boxes for AT-Weapons or something impressive like the Light 50.

Update Ok just got done talking to one of my buddy's and he has come aboard to help ..i didnt plan on for this to go were its going but i like :)

I have updated whats going to be in the Addon below..Very excited..So now besides me i have two people now helping on this..My first plan was to have just a few new ammo crates but now heck if were going to make the addon for everyone then we should go all out..Now the numbers below could change ,so we could always add more..this might not come out quick just because real life stuff but i sit down and mess with er a lot so good good news :) Any other suggestions would be nice

1.AR/MG

2.Rifles

3.AT

4.Pistols

5.Gear

6. Explosives

Vehicle ammo crates

7. above staked crates..all in one

8.Custom maid Air ammo crates"missiles shown" in some

9.Ammo Racks to hold Ammo crates and or missiles

10.Maybe a trailer to hall Ammo crates"idk"yet

ALSO glad to say that there will be Desert Textures in there so all you will haft to do is put the code in the init of the box to change the color.

will also say non of the detail will be done intell all the boxes are maid and semi close..then we can tweak them to make them look real good..

Addon got bigger

[fluttershy 2]

I like your plans, Doofy.

To top it off completly into oblivion of awesome, open close box animation to enter the gear menu.

I have to agree an open close animation would look nice :)

How would i go about doing that ? and would it really be annoying if you got like 10 people at the same box? maybe there is a way to have a trigger right next to it so when you get close it will open then go to gear menu .. Defiantly something im going to look into :)

[Doofy 2]

NEW PICK of what i was thinking for vehical ammo? or anyother gun :)

Awesome looking Ammo Boxes Doofy! Really will add to the game look and feel.

Not sure how to do the opening animation, perhaps use animations in the model.cfg like you would do with a vehicle :)

[Doofy 2]

yeah ill haft to mess around with it ..Got to be like a attach to thing i can do so it will make the trigger appear once you set the box then with in range activate the animation..got to be like those NZX Humvee s something like that..Were it will just activate the animation though..Im not that good at scripting so it might take a bit but ill try like crazy.

[Doofy 2]

sorry guys this will be my last post
