Importing Leopard 1A5 From Arma 2

[tempestriser 10]

Hello guys, im looking for help / tips to import a tank from ARMA 2 to ARMA 3, the tank is a Leopard 1A5 and need some big work to become operational.

I have not found any ground vehicle mod for ARMA 3 and i cant use any sample of mod...

The original mod is here: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8162 all rights of it reserved to VILAS and Dragon44.

Thanks :rolleyes:

Hey Tempestriser... just for the protocol, we assume you´ve got Vilas and Dragon_44´s permition to port it right? Are you going to use the Brazilian camouflage too??? (hope so, there´s already a Brazilian Forces addon, FN FAl and, with this tank, a Brazilian Armed Forces Pack would be complete ) =)

RedPhoenix was tampering with tanks PhysX and controls in this thread - http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?163352-Refined-Vehicles , hope it would be of some use to you...

cheers!

Yeah I'd be surprised if they weren't already planning to import it themselves...

I hope you have permission.

The only new ground vehicle I have seen is the ones being made for the south African army mod, you could message the creator and see if he can help, I don't know where the thread is.... I'll link you when I get off work

He doesn't need a permission if he's doing it for himself only.

if he is doing it for himself only, then he doesn't require a thread in these forums

@Pufu : Why ? Your sentence don't make any sense. If he doing it for himself, he HAS to know already ?

It means he must keep it to himself if he wants to import it for personal use. It's the addon makers rule here about copyright and stuffs. You MUST SEEK PERMISSION to edit/reverse engineer someone elses work, even if it's for personal use... If he don't want to seek permission and want to use it for personal use, then make it privately. Just for personal use. Not for public view (even screenshot) or usage. But the ethics here is seek permission first.

It's simple really, just ask

Oh but it actually makes quite a lot of sense!

You see, things here are based on respect, and trust. You want a leopard tank, easiest thing would be to create your own. If for whatever reason you are incapable of and you would rather use someone's else work, you better be respectful and ask for permission. Around here, this was called common sense.

Here, have a look over the forum rules once more, maybe you forgot them since march 2013 when you agreed with those:

§19) Posting addon/mod other content without permission

For many years this community has been known as the premium addon/mod creating community, people work tirelessly and in great detail to create fantastic addons/mods/missions/campaigns to release for free so that everyone benefits, including Bohemia Interactive. There are a few simple rules in place to provide the respect to these creative people/groups that they deserve:

The first and most fundamental rule is that you must seek permission to alter someone's work, to mirror it or use it in any way other than for personal use. No permission, no editing, no mirroring, no adding to your mod pack, no editing and sharing around your private squad, none of that is acceptable.

Obviously we cannot unfortunately control what people do outside of these forums, however on these forums you must follow this rule, if a person/team post a thread to share an addon/mod using content from someone else without permission and we receive a complaint then the mod thread will be closed until the issue is resolved and the forum member(s) risks being permanently banned from these forums for taking someone's work without permission.

This isn't just limited to re-using content in addons/mods/missions however, it's not acceptable to edit someone's work without permission and then to post screenshots of it on the forums (even if the edited addon/mod is purely for personal use), it's also not acceptable to edit someone's work, or use someone's work in any way that you don't have permission for and then to create videos which you post on these forums, doing any of the above without the permission of the original creators risks a permanent ban, for individuals, for whole mod teams or squads.

Actually im trying to contact Vilas for the permission, if i cant get it i will use his mod as a sample to build a new one :)

and yeah, we are looking foward for a Brazilian Armed Forces - pack

Tha'ts not allowed either. If he doesn't give you permission, you have to start from scratch. You can't use his model in any way shape or form unless he gives permission.
