vosku 1 Posted October 5, 2003 I've made a new steerable parachute. There is also a "soldier" in the same packet. All scripts are in the addon already so you don't need to do anything but place the chute/unit somewhere in the map. Read the ReadMe for more info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpearheadUK 0 Posted October 5, 2003 looks cool, does it pop out in mid flight or does it just appear when u pop out of a plane (sorry my ofp broke at mo so cant find out for myself) if not is there anybody who could make a script to do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Knight 0 Posted October 5, 2003 well its ok.. although ure readme is a bit confusing coz i cant get other units to use the parachute.. other then that its great.. perhaps u could do a black version so we can make solo missions that u para in.. other all this is good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-crow- 0 Posted October 6, 2003 If you make a black one and let people know how to use it on other units like TYLER FRIDDLE Halo unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you should be able to use the parachute with other units if you type unit's init field "this addweapon "vkulaskuvarjo"" (or add that "weapon" in a weapon box and then get it from there) and add a "mustaparta", "parachute on ground" or "flying chute" somewhere in the map, otherwise the parachute won't work.

DaSquade 0 Posted October 6, 2003  Very nice....hard to land but if you "brake" enough, you could survive impact  . Maybee a green version and a  bit more controle ( i love it, but is a bit to "free"   ). Otherwise, best replacement for the old 21vbGlider. Thanks Vosku.  *Maybee someday you (or someone else) could make some extra animations to it? Anyway, great chute men!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4 IN 1 0 Posted October 7, 2003 thank you, this addon surly make my dreams come true i think if you know how to fly a pland good, then you could land safe with this chute (usually i could land safe if i am over 300 atl.) make it black or dark green would be better i wonder if there could some custom amine addon in it too, like the Mohax´s hang glider???(i know custom amine is not easy, so if you cant, just forget about it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tested it and it worked well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waffendennis 0 Posted October 7, 2003 Yep and this is a Very nice addon you made...I know you may not change the .pbo but may i add a Black Op Black camo scheme to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vosku 1 Posted October 8, 2003 Yep and this is a Very nice addon you made...I know you may not change the .pbo but may i add a Black Op Black camo scheme to it? If you manage to do it. There are plenty of things you have to change if you add new scheme. If you just change the existing models' textures then it won't be very hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4 IN 1 0 Posted October 8, 2003 sad thing is that this addon is a secondery weapon, which means that you cant carry AT/Leaser or the nicely flash made Backpack for extar ammo but hey~ is there any possibility for both the chute and the backpack together?

Yep and maybe: Put the chute in the pack  thats what i think about too~ or those it is a little unrealistic.............. *edit*but think at the way from the realistic side, you could make the soldier to pick up the weapon after the landing instead of a suddently appearing rifle after the landing:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apocalypse4 0 Posted October 8, 2003 I must agree, this addon needs some more work, look at the 21V parachute, sure, you need scripts to properly implement it, but it is more realistic, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waffendennis 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Well I did some work on this thing ( hope you dont mind it ) and I added some better scripting ( thnxs 21vb for the basic's ) to the chute and did some model tweakes like: -Fixed the flat Chute that was half underground -Fixed wrong enplaced backpack ( chute ) on body And now some fancy stuff: -Added: Zipping Gear up sound -Added: Opening Canopy Sound -Added: Black Texture ( maybe I gonna add more but this is it for now ) Some Tweak: -Tweaked: Falling to hard down -Tweaked: The steering -Tweaked: Textures (Thats that for now ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
