Sandbags

Recommended Posts

Simple idea for an addon... more sandbag structures. As far as I know, they are still widely used in the military for fortification. Think about how often the standard BIS ones are used in missions.

What would be nice would be a pack of them, so they are consistant and look like they were made with the same sandbags. Some nicer quality textures, but maybe lower poly-count would be great. Ultra-low poly LOD models at far distance are key.

Also, does anyone know what the problem AI has with sandbag walls? It is kind of silly that the AI soldiers cannot use sandbag walls well because even if they are forced to stand up by the mission creator, they do not want to fire over the sandbags until the target is half a meter in front of their nose.

I tried messing around with the ones from the demo once to see if I could fix this little bug, but was not able to. I am sure there is a work-around, because other structures like the large sandbag fortress allow prone AI to fire from it at normal distances.

Well, it is just a suggestion. There are a couple individual sandbag addons included with a machine-gun pit or something, but a large pack of uniform sandbags would be great.

Sandbags

They are a bit too high poly though (about 65 faces) I'll see what I can do though smile_o.gif

Individual sandbags? Nice idea, the setPos creations are endless that way. Yes, the lower the poly-count the better, but they are looking real nice even if they are just sandbags. smile_o.gif

Post a pic of some sandbags in a 1990's US desert campaign (read -> Iraq), and I'll alter them to that if necessary. smile_o.gif
