[j w 0]

I still need some help at scripts is there nobody who can script some things??    

I need:

engine smoke which can be turn on and off

muzzle (smoke) like on the Panzerhaubitze 2000

and some other things like gun recoil and such  

Hmm... The SFP AG90 (M82A2) has a alike effect. Ask GranQ or sum1 from the team, they might help you (and then you just scale the thing up )

Ok i have reworked the camo a bit , what you think about? i am short befor to release a beta but it has some bugs and no scripts and just a simple config.

Best way to get answers is to release it and see what people can offer for advice.

[Desert-Rat 0]

Ya but it has too much bugs yet to release it and the inside is a bit boring

Ok here an actual picture of the Driverposition , the window is green to simulate a "drivercam"

[Desert-Rat 0]

The recoil should look like this

[Desert-Rat 0]

OK i have found someone who helped me with the recoil , so the tank has his first script now

[Desert-Rat 0]

ok here some updates the tank has a MG now a new cannon , (not flat on the end) , recoil but still some bugs like last wheel is don't spinning , has no shadow and some other things. Hope to can fix them befor i release a beta of it , i also will do a destroyed model , so if it get destroyed that the model get changed instead of the paper tank he doesn't look that good like the most other tank addons (special the M1 from King Homer) , but i don't have reference pictures for a fictional tank

[Desert-Rat 0]

Here a few other pictures, I am still not contently with my tank, therefore I have changed a few more things like the tread , added light , the commander hatch added a MG4 instead of two MG3's (will be static) all i need is to fix bugs , make a better Interior

do you use a real metal background to create your textures?

[Desert-Rat 0]

yes i do is this good or bad?

[Sennacherib 0]

yep it's good, because it's more realistic. if you are an addict of 3Dmodelling like me. you should try to learn an other program. because to put the textures with o2 isn't easy. And to try to make some big textures for the turret and the hull for example. the quality will be better

[nephilim 0]

use one 2048*2048 texture for the fuselage

like we talked about that last time

use smaller 1024*1024 for details

so you come up with like 3-4 textures max!

this is exxential cuz the ammoiunt of loaded textures will increase in arma as itll use spec and normal maps

so for each texture you have 2 more textures tio be loaded!

so if you use 10 for one objects youll end up with 30!

[Desert-Rat 0]

this way its harder to texture something nephilim

but the SEP M1 has no 2048 textures too

[Sennacherib 0]

don't copy the sep. this tank isn't a good example, if you want to make addons for Arma. like Nephilim said try to make textures with by size.

look my house:

i used 3 big textures (the walls and the roof), and small textures for the little thing. with big textures you should have a better quality. i'm not a professional like Nephilim. But i try to make cool things

good luck mate

[Desert-Rat 0]

I just try to make good things too :P but its not happening atm :P

well have make a new turret inside which looks like this
