bars91 956 Posted November 30, 2014 Wayyy too cool - if I have some decent amount of spare time, i'll try to cook up some form of trailer for this mod (had been thinking about this for a while but lack of free time has limited my enthusiasm so far - not the case anymore with that huge content update comin' up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted December 1, 2014 nice 1 thanks man we do have huge-ass muzzle-flashes on certain weapons (the S60 and sparka and flamethrowers for example - like gout of fire) so we should be able to try and add them to some weapons... they would need configging as a cannon though, which should be possible for the gsh30-2 on the mi24 you pictured ---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ---------- also pooks SAMs and franze's Su22 and Brooks' chieftain and the OSV96 and a load of other stuff is WIP plus vilas gave us his CRV/T to develop and the sterling (for chieftain crews) and we're getting a new 9 milly from von knudenberg (also for brit crews) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted December 1, 2014 Well let's be clear. The muzzle effect for the cannon is not the same as a muzzle flash. The muzzle effect is a pre-loaded script that "drops" the particles from the end of the cannon. Same as any other gun's muzzle effect, just a script with a big flame. The muzzleflash is a proxy lights that lights up (animates 'on') with a 3D flame "model". You could dink around with it either way. However the 3D model mapped to a flame is much easier than scripting a drop w/ velocity and all that jazz. Drop scripts can be a PITA. I still haven't gotten the empty shell casings dropping off of a gunner turret figured out. Got close but kind of lost interest since I didn't really get it working. And YES if anyone is interested I'd love to figure how to make the shells kick off sideways from all the gunner turrets... just can't figure out the tricks. I know the BDM pack has a good shell eject script and something like that would be nice for the other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted December 1, 2014 yeah the other thing we need to ensure, especially with porting other people's models, is that the zasleh/ muzzleflash is included in all the distance LOD's so you can see it from miles away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggbeast 3673 Posted December 2, 2014 and a little fine-tuning on the 70mm and S-8 and S13 rockets - added flame trail and re-sized rockets to correct diameter/length. new folding fins would be cool, but a little out of league atm. S-8 80mm rocket S-13 130mm rocket Also: added in missing RVMAT's and textures to fix a ton of minor model issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) some more mig-23 goodness - new faction roundels - new weapons thanks to franze - adapting citizenships skin and nose variation for each model/faction -- 4 factions (RU, INS, CDF, TAK) -- 3 skins (camo1 CAS, camo2 AGM, and silver CAP for example) -- addition of shark teeth for CAS variants -- 11 weaponized variants (CAP,CAS, HCAS, EHCAS, MR, LBMB, BMB, HBMB, LGB, SEAD, AGM) -- 4 plane types (Mi23 Flogger-B, 2-seater Flogger-C, modernised Flogger-K, and Mig27 Flogger-J) so all in, that's 4 planes x 4 factions x 11 variants = 176 unique aircraft - engine pictures, random numbering, shell drop, wing fold logic to follow Edited December 3, 2014 by eggbeast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddybear1 11 Posted December 3, 2014 Like Mig-27 model! Could you please make these working /usable in Arma3 /as Zeus Cas aircraft? We need more aircraft for support .

islesfan186 83 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Whoa....soooooo sick! Only nit-pick is the TK ones...I think the camo is supposed to be like Yellow and Green or something. Not a big deal at all though, they still look awesome and really appreciate all the work and new content you guys are adding.

eggbeast 3673 Posted December 4, 2014 you think the takistanis can afford to repaint the uzbeki or libyan flogger's they managed to buy? i thought it would be better to have a little variation. which country ever makes all their planes the same camo? btw teddybear1 is a known enthusiast/troll depending on your viewpoint, just move right along lol.

hcpookie 3770 Posted December 4, 2014 Adding weathering is a challenge and separates texture weenies like myself from texture artists ;) You could add a layer in GIMP to the texture itself, so that some parts are silver-grey looking like chipped paint. Merge the layers and it could work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggbeast 3673 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) no worries. i'm just stuck inside a config containing 146 new planes... so, Franze, bless him to heaven and beyond... has kindly given us his 100+ obscure soviet weapons pack from his Su17/22. They need a little work, but that's gonna provide the new Migs, and later Franze's Su22, with a hole heap of new bang-bang. it's like christmas day for fans of obscure soviet air weapons. included are: RBK250/500 clusterbombs KMGU mine dispenser FAB100 bombs Kab500KR bomb MBD3 rack 800L fuel tanks S24, S25 and S25L rockets and launch pod SPPU22 gunpod KH25ml, Kh25mp, Kh25mr missiles Kh58 +S5/S8/S13 rockets and pods, Kh29L, Fab250 etc (we already have more modern versions) so they need a little porting work (autocenter, separation in p3d, skin touch-ups) but i've done the configs for these. so a massive thank you to Franze for his gift! pair of S25's take flight from Mig-23 Edited December 5, 2014 by eggbeast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
