ranger_24 55 Posted January 26, 2017 Looks really awesome! Pardon me if it was asked before, but when does the next update is planned for release? I am really looking forward for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8LacK5naK3 192 Posted January 26, 2017 In case you aren`t aware, it is considered spam on the forums to ask for a release date, so it`s always best not to ;) ...and yes. It is awesome :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggbeast 3673 Posted January 27, 2017 we left in a test speedvalue in the huey config. which is what causes it. well re patch, if something comes up that requires a patch, then all of the changes to date will be released together, but i don't see this as likely, as a release knocks our team out of the modding loop for about 2 weeks.

eggbeast 3673 Posted January 28, 2017 just had this made by Howells - a Schermuly, or star cluster in yank-speak gonna make it a single use handheld rocket launcher, with flare spawning at top of its arc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted January 29, 2017 RHS manages hand flares quite well (e.g. RSP-30, which uses the pistol slot), you could take a look there too for ideas. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted January 29, 2017 well i want the fired fx you see in the pic above, so it cant be a grenade launcher, has to be a rocket launcher. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggbeast 3673 Posted February 2, 2017 SOG signal flare working we desperately need help with RTM / hand animation 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wld427 1705 Posted February 2, 2017 nice work brother.... you have officially done something no one else has done.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted February 2, 2017 hehe thanks man. not sure that's always such a good thing, right? like the guy who cooked and ate his twin sisters and his dog... still needs a good rtm to fix it up properly. I'm using the rpg rtm to show it in my hand, but really it needs a custom launcher hand anim, and a custom launcher reloadmag anim, and if i had my way, a custom firing anim that doesnt just pull the trigger, but takes off the top cap, adds it to the bottom and then smacks it. . atm i'm using modelspecial so the flare stacks on your ruck, but it goes weird when held "loaded" until you fire and then it looks ok again. I think i'm gonna have to use isselected to hide the wrongly placed version (that works on your back, but not in your hand) and then unhide the other version when you switch to it. the downside is that BOTH copies unhide when you put the weapon on the ground, as i guess isselected becomes null and not 0 or 1.

eggbeast 3673 Posted February 2, 2017 ok here's how it's gonna be - a little better with the hiddenselections version sits on your pack, then sits in your main hand, cap hidden when fired. works great! huge thanks to Vilas for teaching me how to make a new handanim - i owe u big time buddy, unsung owes you for teaching us this essential skill. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
