You *really* don't want it, they are all ugly. The textures seem weird.<span id='postcolor'> They look "weird" because of the warping of the BIS models, not the textures. Open them up and look. Way friggin' better than 99% of the uniforms that have been released as addons. Plus they were "weird" becuse they were made by a different company. Useless my ass. Ugly? Maybe, compared to what? They were made almost over a year ago as something to do when there were NO decent unit addons. Even though none of the textures were original, it still looks better than any units I've seen.<span id='postcolor'> Ebud? ANy chance you could fix them up for a HOT NEW RELEASE!!!! the textures only look weird on top, NOT the bottom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebud 18 Posted October 28, 2002 If anyone else wants to go right ahead, I just threw it together, it's not like I did the textures So if anyone wants to update, fix, re-release them, be my guest. The textures are not at fault, it's the way the model warps, so a new model would have to be used. To add pistols, a new model would have to be used. So it would be a lot of re-work which someone could easily do. I think that the main units, the demo, support and soldier could easily and quickly be redone. It's the specialists that would take the time. There was what.... 12 different units in the addons? Lots of work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USMC Sniper 0 Posted October 29, 2002 I think it would be smarter to do a whole new unit, using the models from Ghost Recon. You can download the 3ds models from some websites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PFC_Mike 2 Posted October 29, 2002 First, I'd like to apologize to Ebud. I know a lot of work went into these guys, and the problems aren't his fault. It's a hell of a lot better than I could do. My fault is with the textures mostly, as I said not Ebud's fault. The GR models are what I'm intersted in. JJPHAT, if you'd like I can email you the editited .cpp I used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebud 18 Posted October 29, 2002 NP, they just used textures that weren't made for those models. A poor frankenstein's monster of an addon. I'd really love to see someone try and make some units out of those models, I already imported a few of them and made through half the tagging, but dropped it for a while. Looked great in-game. They have no LOD's, but surely one or two could be made pretty easily. Hell, we have starwars units fer christ sake, someone try this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExtracTioN 0 Posted October 29, 2002 I have upgraded them Ebud to use pistols and work without problems with 1.85 But I can't upload them to a server I am not good in building homepage or upload them to a server I really want to send them by e-mail but I have no desent e-mail adres only hotmail and can't send it by hotmail file to big sorry guys hope there is someone else who can upgrade them so you all can play with this great looking soldiers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USMC Sniper 0 Posted October 29, 2002 Ebud, do you have the models that were imported? If you don't, does anyone know where there is a good tutorial for making units, I need to know about the proxies for that and how to position the model, etc. I love importing things from other games into OFP. Â Try geocities for a website, its pretty easy to make a website on that. Just make a quick temporary site to put the upd. addon on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebud 18 Posted October 29, 2002 seriously, just download the 3ds models listed above, and if you don't have GR, just download some mod to get some skins to use as a template. Many mods have the original skins in them so take a look. Once you do that, import one of the 3ds files into O2 and scale it correctly. Now open another oxygen window with a good soldier p3d with all the relevant proxys and start copying and pasting. Look at the working soldier p3d to see how it was tagged, and just use the same system. Trial and error is really the best way to learn. Once to make enough mistakes, you'll finally know what your doing.... and kknow how to fix a mistake when you make one. It's not as hard as you would think. Send me an email, and I'll send you a p3d.
