dm 9 Posted April 5, 2003 The rotorwash scripts will execute AUTOMATICALLY, its only if you want to use the heli's in mp that you have to code anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkraver 1 Posted April 5, 2003 Nice models. But i must say i where a bit disapointed by the textures. The textures look like the bis models, which i think isnt very good, just tainted black. The textures on the littlebirds are 100 times better. Also a bug. When you fire the first smoke ffar the message "sound empty not found" pop up when it explodes.

Eviscerator 0 Posted April 5, 2003 Yes, all of our helos are getting scripts like these added to them, as deadmeat explained earlier we are slowly changing the classnames in the editor, because if we kept it as it was you would have had: BAS - Special Ops Men BAS - Special Ops Vehicles BAS - US Army Vehicles BAS - Marine Corp Vehicles Which seemed a little excessive, so over the course of the updates of our addons they will move into either: BAS - Men BAS - Vehicles They will also be given a plethora of new scripts, its really amazing what TJ is doing on some of the helicopters you havent seen in a while, you may be wanting the MH-60L soon but we felt modifying the BIS helo was not good enough (as it is...well...an ugly model), so there has been an overhaul, and believe me, it looks fantastic, you should probably expect the MH-47E next and it is very very different from the last version, maybe not in cosmetics but in scripts it is amazingly realistic. The OH-58 was a relatively minor project that we felt the public needed, it may not give the 'OH MY GOD' factor of previous addons, but as i said it was a little side project that we felt people wanted and we feel its turned out very well. Also a hint for you guys just finding out what happens when you stand in the dust as a Delta/Ranger, try lowering your goggles Finally they have a use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted April 5, 2003 Very nice surprice! Been wating for this to happen  However I found a problem with all Kiowas that have a .50 cal MG... On them the mast mounted sight (MMS) doesn't tilt nor swiwel (sp?) if jumping in as gunner? Zoom seems to work... Also wonder if you managed to "fix" the laser designator to work in multiplayer when two players enters the same Kiowa as gunner and pilot? Major KUDOS to all BAS members.

May be a good item for the README.TXT? A few more issues I found while testing... 1. I also get the "Sound empty not found" msgbox when firing the first M439 Smoke Rocket (I know you already know about this but just wanted to mention it). 2. Enemy infantry does not fire at the Kiowa. They are usually quite leathal when flying your Littlebird and I would assume that enemy would engage any low flying chopper in RL. I know that enemy infantry ignore BIS original choppers (the Kiowa included) until you land them. Hoped yours would be different.
