T.C.'s Hummingbird

[Worldeater 2]

Hi,

this is a colorful Hummingbird texture I want to share with you. It might look familiar... :)

About:

• This is just a texture for the Hummingbird. This is not an addon.
  
• It's based on BI's textures.
  
• In order to use it you either have to rely on setObjectTexture (see below) or create your own addon.
  
• Feel free to mirror it (unless BI objects).
  

Example Usage:

• Open the mission editor, place a Hummingbird on the map and save the mission.
  
• Copy the texture to the mission folder.
  
• Put the following code in the Initialization field of the Hummingbird:
  

  this setObjectTexture [0, "heli_light_01_ext_magnum_co.paa"];
  this animate ["addDoors",1];
  this animate ["addBackseats",1];
  this animate ["addTread",0];
  this animate ["addBenches",0];
  this animate ["addCivilian_hide",1];
  { this lockCargo [_x, true] } forEach [2,3,4,5];

Changes:

• 2013-09-02: Minor improvements, e.g. colored the black "eyebrow" above the doors
  
• 2013-09-01: Added kylania's code to the instructions above

You need to add this to your init or else players can still "sit" on the missing outside benches:

{this lockCargo [_x, true];} forEach [2,3,4,5];

Also you can make that a JPG instead of PAA to cut down on filesize.

That texture made me smile. I like the idea :D

I actually did not know about the init stuff either. It's awesome! Could I possibly find more of it somewhere?

What does this animate ["addCivilian_hide",1]; do?

[AlexVestin 24]

I believe it's for the interior. I think it adds a nicer leather material to the inside :)

[Feint 137]

Oh cool. Thanks.

EDIT: Just tested it again. It adds a fire extinguisher, radio cluster and iPod to the cockpit only visible when you are sitting in the cockpit.

When are they going to add all these existing hidden civilian aircraft?

[lordprimate 159]

*begin_sarcasm* Never, there going to remove it citing that their "incomplete" and "not a priority"

and then they will package them into a DLC and make you pay more for them if you want them. *end_sarcasm*

seriously, they have their hands full. the civ stuff is low on the list of todo's, i imagine.

I wonder if there's an easy way to make a new heli in a config using these parameters to change the outward appearance.

Sorry for digging up this old one but: Does anyone still have this texture?
