hcpookie 3770 Posted January 28, 2016 This bus has the X-factor huehuehuehue :D I'm not sure why that happens. I will have to adjust the amount the steering wheel travels to make that go away. Next version with rear-facing PKM! :D What's the biggest thing you can run over? I have been able to push around airplanes on the tarmac. I suppose it should be able to push big trucks out of the way too :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted January 28, 2016 LOOK AT THE BONES! I've also add the MLOD's... other modders can have fun making their own versions now :) V1.1 w/ rear PKM gunner turret. Also changed the steering wheel behavior, and changed the driver's mirrors slightly. Same download place as before! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted January 28, 2016 You know, play testing this against more than 1 infantry and the guys are pretty easy to kill, including the driver. Going to add some armor panels for v1.2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hcpookie 3770 Posted January 28, 2016 Well I'm experimenting with armor plates and the AI *still* can't seem to survive for more than about 100m. The enemy AI are simply too good at head shots. I am going to tweak this a little further before releasing. I've also had to remove the wheel hitpoints since they get shot out too easily... as if the armor plating isn't even there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted January 29, 2016 I've also add the MLOD's... other modders can have fun making their own versions now :) Might want to clarify this bit up in the OP so that no one's confused by "You are not allowed to decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise derive content from this addon"...

hcpookie 3770 Posted January 29, 2016 I've improved the armor somewhat so even with stupid AI in the passenger seats you don't die quite so easily. Man the AI is dumb! LOL v1.2 update in the same location (see first post) This should be it, I don't think I'll have any more updates unless something is discovered. The MLOD's are there, so let's see some battle bus versions you guys! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
