The Unsung Vietnam Mod 3.0 WIP THREAD

[eggbeast 3685]

we will repaint them at some point -hopefully soon. like the PBRs.

 

ok the RPG's are all working properly again.

 

Now just need to look at the LAW:

1. closed, unselected model must sit across shoulders

2. open selected model must animate open, tube, sights, endcap etc

3. eye position behind working sight

4. rocket fired - mag hide

5. add and test EH on class man to dispose of it

 

so far i cannot get any of the fancy new animationsources to work on any weapon whatsoever.

so this animation may be punted into charlie

 

I am thinking of rolling back to the old LAW (worse model) as it at least has the sight working

but we need documentation - how the heck to use some of the new animationsources on weapons, and particularly launchers...

it's a massive time-suck to experiment without any clue whether the stuff even works in the engine.

[eggbeast 3685]

tons of little but important fixes today:

- M132 turn-in fixed

- PBR added clutter / radar

- patrol boats added sounds / clutter / radar

- XM706 fixed 50cal version that would not move/ added muzzle fx and anims

- fixed RPGs

- fixed LAW / disposable / optics / added rocket to empty tube

- fixed the zpu4 firing mode and sound

- upgraded the zpu and zu23 fx on BTR40 - shell eject and muzzles look cool now
- fixed the mag hide when changing mags on the zu and zpu
- fixed the m113 m60 gun aim - was way off

- fixed m134 sounds / added burst modes

[eggbeast 3685]

my to do list - pre-release of bravo:

 

- Script pack (resources, plane re-arm, satchels, dozer)

- Static weapons

- Huey

- M40 jeep turret / getout death bug

[icmspectre 32]

Is there only gonna be the UH-1HB in Bravo? Are the H's and C's coming with Charlie?

[eggbeast 3685]

that's right. you have the H34, H13 and UH1-B - all the early war stuff.

later will be the CH46, CH47, CH47 gunsagogo, CH53, CH54, uh1D/H, uh1C, oh58, and oh6

[eggbeast 3685]

no

[chas gate 23]

Will the mission you guys made be updated on update or will it come later?

[john111 76]

I have 2 tips for you:   ArmsCore has a great FX for the Heavy Hog guns.That`s a real show.Maybe you could ask to have it.

 

Tip 2: If you want to disable the Ai`s possiblity to see the mines,maybe add a cube with a tank IR-Smoke screen that is non-transparent to AI`s,on top of it,mine inside.

That way ,they may not see it (?).

[markocro 66]

did you figure out how to make 3 turret tracers on that plane?

[eggbeast 3685]

nope

working on static weapons today

thanks to pook and ryan we have a lot of models ready to go, i am just re-homing and renaming them and finessing (e.g. missing mem points etc)

some models need importing, but i think only one needs debinning, so i may leave it out.

 

process map (completion %):

- vec configs --- 50%

- wep configs --- 80%

- model integrity (textures, rvmats, memory points, anims) --- 80%

- model.cfg --- 60%

- icons/ pics --- 80%

- sounds --- 80%

- scripts --- 80%

- backpacks and supply crates --- 10%

[mrkibblesworth 20]

I am seriously impressed by the amount of effort/love, you guys have put into this mod for the past 3-4 months. Every screenshot or just reading the progress reports shows so much progress. Everyday i'll visit the forums just to see what you guys have made/done, I wish all of you the best of luck in the future. Keep up the amazing work.

[hcpookie 3770]

Which one needs debinning?

[eggbeast 3685]

the wheeled dshk from vilas (not the armored wheeled one we have)

we have his m60 tripod, and when that's fully working im going to add it to the centre pintle of the pbr.

 

also for charlie i'm hoping to make a lot more staticweapon emplacements like the bunkers you made in 2.6, using mg42 / pk / m60 / zu23 / zpu4/ mortars and spgs, etc.

watchtowers, log and leaf bunkers, sandbag emplacements, AAA platforms, all kinds of stuff,

[hcpookie 3770]

OK let me see if I have an unbinned copy of that on my computer.

 

I have a thought about the statics.... take the sniper trees.  Since I made those with a proxy-placed tree visual, we could imitate my random clutter placement format like on the M113.  For example:

 

1. In the model, make a series of proxies, each pointing to a different tree model. 

2. Name each one as "tree1", "tree2", "tree3", etc. until you get bored.  :)  Given 1x per tree, I wonder how many appropriate jungle tree models are available.  20 perhaps?

3. Animate-hide all of them, just like the M113 clutter animations.

4. Copy the M113 INIT script, so that the INIT script of the sniper tree will animate-unhide using the same MP-compatible scripting format. 

 

Presto, using ONE sniper tree to place in the editor, the INIT script will randomly select one tree from the proxies.  Now no one, including the mission maker, will know which exact tree will be used for sniper trees!  Evil?  :)

 

We could do a few based on different tree heights, as the newest tree uses that shorter tree.  When the new terrain is released, we could pile on more trees.

 

 

This might be able to be applied to some of the other static bunkers so long as their "interface" is the same... e.g. all the prone bunkers being in the same vein.

[hcpookie 3770]

A thought - you could animate-hide the armored one's bullet shield (include Geo and FireGEO in the named selection) and have another variation.  Perhaps even randomize the hide on INIT.  Would add even more variation... for that matter, add some bushes to the shield for better hiding :D

 

Egg - check your PM ;)

[eggbeast 3685]

thanks mate

yeah i've been thinking von knudenbergs DP28 is possibly the best weapon model ever placed in arma.

I'd like to add it as a static weapon to various things, log bunkers, truck roofs, cars etc...

 

we can at least put them into the lying down low bunker you made with the pk in it and in the default BIS sandbag pk bunker, with some added plants on it.

 

remember this?

 

they had them mounted on T26 tanks like this

 

 

[hcpookie 3770]

The ammo box bunker - that would be an easy build for someone :)

[scottdog62 9]

We gotta get some more solid missions out for this mod

[eggbeast 3685]

The ammo box bunker - that would be an easy build for someone :)

yeah, it's not unlike your S60.

with the motorbike and tank pics I was indicating that the gun is used in a bracket system regularly, so i will definitely add it to an open top ural cab roof.

we have a ton of vc bunkers that hardly ever get seen, so can add it to that and hey presto - a whole new asset!

also some of the A1 sandbag bunkers (the ones where you had to lean to see out of the firing ports in sahrani) will benefit from a lowered floor and adding some m60's to the firing ports for base defence.  No more setposasl for the static weapons ...
