Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted August 15, 2003 I'd like to announce the release of the AH-1W models and source code. As we have mentioned before, we have abandoned our AH-1W project for various reasons, but would like to share with the community the fruits of our labour in the hopes that they may be able to complete the project so that we can all enjoy it. ***** Conditions of Use ***** This is available to anyone who wishes to engage in their own AH-1W project however, we do have some modest conditions we respectfully ask you to adhere to if you choose to use this material. Credits -------- Please ensure that you credit Ballistic Addon Studios as being the initial provider of the models and coding for your completed addon. This should be made in the readme of your addon and also mentioned on release of your final product. Addon Quality ---------------- As Ballistic Addons Studios always strives to maintain the ebst quality for their addons we ask that you also strive to provide a minimum level of quality should you wish to publish this model. This includes:- - Adherence to the OFPEC tagging system - Making the addon Addons At Ease (AAE) compatible - Using several LODS (Levels of Detail) in the model to reduce lag in game. - Beta testing the addon thoroughly before release. - A clear and detailed readme explaining features and use of the addon. - Accurate textures Design Notes --------------- The zip file there is a folder that contains the coding and models for an early beta attempt by BAS at the AH-1W. We ask that you DO NOT PUBLISH this model as a final addon. The model is inaccurate and is only provided to give an example of another more accurate model can be coded and what memory points, etc. need to be assigned to get a new AH-1W model in game. We have also provided a 3D Studio Max file which was intended to be our final model for the AH-1W. It is very good and was made by Eviscerator from BAS. It has only a single LOD and has several details such as the canopy, separated from the model to aid in the development process. It will require LODS in order to be released to the community. You can import this .3ds file into O2 but it will need to be scaled correctly (perhaps using the old beta model provided as a guide for scaling). Beta Testing -------------- During the beta testing phase, we would appreciate it if you send us a copy just so we can look over it. This is not a requirement but would be a nice gesture if we could have a look how you have taken our base material and turned it into your masterpiece. You can get the zip file here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milkman 1 Posted August 15, 2003 Interesting, so you decided to not have a mod team complete this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted August 15, 2003 No....as we mentioned....we are aware of another development team building a better Cobra...but it may be sometime before it is released. In the meantime...we release our work so that someone with time can complete one to fill the interim gap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted August 15, 2003 Actually, in another thread USMC mod said that they'd be finishing it. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=32975 I guess BAS decided to release it publically as well, or was USMC mod just saying they'd finish when the source was released, or am I just confused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted August 15, 2003 We were always going to do both...we just gave the USMC mod a bit of heads up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waffendennis 0 Posted August 15, 2003 Edit: Sorry BAS for my offense to you guys ( TigrerShark ) and my excuses to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted August 15, 2003 Waffendennis...before you mouth off and make an even bigger fool of yourself...I suggest you have a chat with The Marshal, who runs your mod. He was aware of this move all along. In fact I gave the models to him days ago. And for us to give this exclusively to one mod would have attracted criticism from the community of being "elitist" or "discriminatory" towards other mods and members of the community. Next time engage brain before moving mouth. Jesus...we can't do anything fucking right....we offer to the community stuff that we could have just as easily kept to ourselves and you still fucking complain. I grow tired of this forum soooooo quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozanzac 0 Posted August 15, 2003 BAS, without doubt, you lot of guys are the backbone of the ofp community. Everything you do is for the benefit or enjoyment of the community, and your willingness to share your hard work is a testament to your selfless nature. I am a little disappointed that youse weren't able to finish the project yourselves, but if you guys are willing to let others complete the project, then who am I to critcize. After all, you guys are the best at what you do. As I said, love your work, and am very thankful for it, and so should every other member of the community. Thanks BAS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
302_Dragon 0 Posted August 15, 2003 I'm not sure what waffendennis said (it was edited before I read it) but I apologize for the USMC Mod team if it has caused any trouble. I'm sure waffendennis meant no harm. I will talk to him about this. Again, Tigershark, thanks for the heads up with the AH1W and you will be proud of the work we will be doing with it. I am hoping to make this a cross Mod effort and have seen some great feedback from them on this. I assure everyone that the AH1W that the USMC Mod team is building, with the help of Quakergamer and possible TOW Mod will exceed everyones expectations.
