deltagamer 612 Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Chinook Pack - Work in Progress By Deltagamer Release - http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?179060-ChinookPack-Mod-Release Hey everyone, I would like to begin with letting everyone know that this is my first mod and that I have never done this before. Anyway back on topic... This mod brings currently the CH47F to Arma 3 ported over from Arma 2 and aims to gather all the Chinook variants into this one pack. I'm hoping to add lots of features into this pack (which you can find below) that will make this mod more fun to play with. As soon as I get the first Chinook up and working I will then begin expanding the pack adding the extra features as planned however all this work wont be out straight away as its my first time making a mod, I may also request help at some stages so anyone in the community willing to help is greatly appreciated and will of course be credited below.

Planned Features - Variants with Armed ramps (M240) - Variants with Unarmed ramps (ramps will be usable) - Completely Unarmed version - Fast rope for the variants (Armed ramp variants will fast rope from the cargo hook door whilst the Unarmed ramps will fastrope from the ramp) - Sling load - Civilian Variant - British and other Variants More Planned/Suggestions? Credits - WarLord554 (has been actively helping out with encountered problems, Big thanks!) Updates - Please remember that if I find this too hard I may cancel this or at least hand it over to someone more advance but as of now I will try my best to stick through this and finish it for the community Edited June 24, 2014 by deltagamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rages123 10 Posted May 13, 2014 wouldnt it be easier to contact aplion and ask him if you can use his already converted chinook from A2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ckrauslo 12 Posted May 13, 2014 Aplion already said to one person he will not let people use his work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warlord554 2065 Posted May 13, 2014 Will be nice to have these helos ingame. Take your time, and don't skimp on updating textures and normals. Goes a long way in A3 :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kgino1045 12 Posted May 13, 2014 Can we expect to disembarked from seat not the ramp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deltagamer 612 Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the support everyone! just to answer a few questions wouldnt it be easier to contact aplion and ask him if you can use his already converted chinook from A2? I'm sure he did say that he doesnt want anyone using his work so Ckrauslo is right about that, I would like to allow anyone to use my mod when its finished in a mod pack or whatever obviously they would need to credit everyone involved etc ill provide more on that later. Can we expect to disembarked from seat not the ramp? I could try however I would need to make the inside walkable, I could maybe ask around to see how its done because I'm not really sure on how to do it. This may or may not be implemented so ill wait and see once I've made some more progress so expect an update soon. ---------- Post added at 13:50 ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 ---------- I've hit my first problem... :mad: I'm working on the door gunner and noticed that ca\weapons_e\m240\data\m240_co.tga isn't in the sample files meaning I would need to get it from my arma 2 files or from somewhere on the forums, the only bad thing is I'm sure I cant just add stuff from arma 2 to arma 3 if its not in the sample file. Can anyone help? Edited May 13, 2014 by deltagamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ckrauslo 12 Posted May 13, 2014 Delta Gamer couldn't you use a Sample file from mods that ported or created a M240 to be used in arma 3? ---------- Post added at 19:25 ---------- Previous post was at 19:23 ---------- About Walk-able interior, what is the name of that guy that made that lovable SOAR Chinook? with hardcore version? when you press to leave the aircraft you don't already jump in the outside, you appear in the inside and have to walk to outside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the guy you are thinking of is Konyo, I have him in my friends list so I could pm him for some help when the time comes but for now I will focus on getting the aircraft to look amazing.

Ckrauslo 12 Posted May 14, 2014 Well you could take a look in the base file for the vehicles in Arma 2 there should be this file you need you could use it with the mod, is it missing and the Chinook needs it? or something else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm aiming to share my work with the community to enable a wider range of gameplay elements for arma 3 making it more fun so go ahead, however maybe when the mod is released we could incorporate it and maybe give your country their own CH47 with custom texture as arma 3 is in the future leaving a large list of possibilities to occur in that space of time.
