He usually checks this forum often so he should get your message. You could also download his Lynx addon, De-PBO it and mess around with the smoke generator on it to see if you can figure out how to put something like it on your crop duster. In the readme for his addon he gives some clues for how to use it on other vehicles. He wrote this: "To use the vehicle, accelerate and keep the fire button down to release smoke clouds. Note that the smoke gets drifted by wind, so favourable wind can make the smoke not to get spread out as expected. Added classnames: KEGM113Lynx - The Armored M113 with the SGS KEGSmokeGenerator - The smoke generator "dummy" weapon !note! You _cannot_ add the smoke generator to other vehicles by just adding the KEGSmokeGenerator weapon to it because the weapon is just a dummy weapon that fires nothing, the smoke is generated by the vehicle's gun barrel smoke." So in other words it sounds like Keg is saying that in order to use the smoke generator the vehicle has to have a gun on it which actually generates the smoke. I hope that helps some.

zippyo 0 Posted October 2, 2002 I have integrated the spray into the plane (yes the fire button) and I must say it looks #@$$%#% KOOL....I got grabs and I'll post it as soon as I found some webspace for the pics.....some limitations.....because of the need for a muzzle it can only have one point for the origin of dispersion ...Usti hlavne in memory LOD. Anyone for suggestions? nevertheless it looks like a true "duster" rather than spraying, but I gotta find a way around this....if You know a friend good with scripting (maybe that's the way to go), would you please point him/her to this thread for a lookie lookie maybe someone will be interested in givin' it a brainstorm. any input appreciated...... zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's awesome! That's a good question about having multiple outlets for the smoke. That might be a OFP game engine limitation, but even if it is and you can only have one point of smoke, I still think that it will look VERY cool. Now the million dollar question: Will the AI use it? Perhaps get the "hemp" addon and make a field...then stick some Resistance fighters in the field with them set to "Friendly to East". Then see if the pilot attacks the soldiers with smoke. That might look very cool for cut-scene movies. Likewise perhaps a trigger could be made to cause the AI pilot to fire the smoke over regular fields to simulate a civilian crop duster spraying his crops....and then showing a HIND blasting him. At any rate, if you need a beta-tester let me know. I can also make a little mission for it as well with some cool cut-scene movies. email me at chrisgie@txdirect.net if you're interested.

Major Fubar 0 Posted October 7, 2002 Is it close to release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zippyo 0 Posted October 7, 2002 well.....the model needs only the two doors and the little hangers that hold the spraybars up to the wing. So yes basically the model is ready. the textures are very bad but I have no time right now to fix. the smokey stuff looks ok for ver 0.9something so YES it is VERY CLOSE .... I have no webspace so if you want it I'll mail it PBO size with textures and all 1.3 megz the model is about 1500 faces.... zippy here's two more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted October 9, 2002 If youv'e got no webspace to host it, you should submit it to one (or more) of the following addon sites: http://www.opflashpoint.org http://ofp.gamezone.cz http://www.ofp-zone.de Don't worry about the textures etc. you can release this as a Beta, than continue to improve on it!

Ruskiesrule 0 Posted October 9, 2002 How do you make AI start up the smoke? Just wondering! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zippyo 0 Posted October 9, 2002 the smoke system is installed as of Kegetys Lynx smoke generator.....so that you can press the fire button to release the smoke. I have been tuning it for the last couple of days through cpp so it'll fly right. Cuz it's a talidragger weighin' in at almost 3 tons, it is tricky to get her to land properly. next is the AI controlled smoke. I guess I could use a script with the DoFire command to trigger the smoke. I dunno if it'll attack enemy with smoke (not too real unless you wanna lay down a mist of nerve gas hehehehe). But anyhow the AI won't go below 90 $%&^%*& meters so it would look silly. I looked into the drop command, which would be the perfect solution but unfortunatelly I ain't got Resistance YET.

Uziyahu 0 Posted October 10, 2002 The 1.85 patch will enable flyInHeight for planes, too, so you should be able to get them to fly lower real soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Fubar 0 Posted October 23, 2002 Yeah, can we get this anywhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zippyo 0 Posted October 23, 2002 all depends on how anxious you are to get it. like I said before it has NO weapons on it yet..(probably gonna be a while)..SMOKE ONLY. so you can't really use it in combat. and now I'm splitting my limited spare time between this puppy and a beast of a drop ship from aliens..(see in the project section) but for just flying....lemme know and I'll e-mail it to ya zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruskiesrule 0 Posted October 23, 2002 yeah, that dropship would be a cool thing, but surrely its easy to spin one plate on a stick, than spinning two! just get this out'a the way, we've been waiting quite a while! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
