HUEY and MEDEVAC Packs FINAL Release

http://hawknam.net/CSJhueys.zip

http://hawknam.net/CSJmedEvac.zip

Fixed texture erosion caused by rotor blur - thanks again to Cpt. Frostbite

Missing guns mounts on M260, M261 and missing textures on stokes - thanks to ConfuciusOFP

and some texture problems I picked up on the D and H models.

Note: remove the very very old CSJhueyD.pbo and CSJUh1Navy.pbo (if you have either of them) these files will conflict with new .pbo's

Readme file list all that have contributed along the way, thankyou for input.

@ Cpt. Frostbite

Credit where credit is due, I had no solution to this problem and nobody I asked had a solution either.

It takes many individual dots to make up the big picture.

Sumthing maybe a tad funny, maybe a tad worrying. Ive got sum wierd, wierd texture bugs with this version. "extened" textures, stretched, sorta hard to explain without a pic.

ConfuciusOFP: Out of curiousity, what video card and drivers do you have? I have a 6800GT with the 81.95 drivers and I'm having similar issues. Also, if I have like 6 of the helos on screen, the game crashes to the desktop. I didn't have this with the previous version of the Huey's.

I have seen what ConfuciusOFP has mentioned and it is weird. App only happens with the M260 and M261. I can not reproduce it even with 12 of them flying.

The only changes made with this release and the last release where as stated above, nothing else has been changed.

Fixed texture erosion caused by rotor blur -

I can not see this effecting anything it shouldn't.

Missing guns mounts on M260, M261 and missing textures on stokes -

the gun mounts were there but not selected to be shown in the hidden selections - so I changed i do be shown.

and some texture problems I picked up on the D and H models.

all this was the antenna off the H model would be partly showing on the D model. Matter of selecting the full section where as only part was selected before.

Now for the funny thing,

I did 3 days of testing to make absolutely sure there were no other bugs, tested all models (literally) flew them empty/full, single and in groups, fired all their guns etc.

I did this testing with no other addons in OFP.

I read your post today so I go back in to check again and now I get this problem with can't find 'csjS11.sqs' (only on some H and D models as was mentioned before in the last release).

Still with no other addons in OFP.

OK, I check cpp and folders, the sqs is there and the path is correct.

My conclusion is - I don't have a F%$@%*! clue.  

Except maybe the size and/or structure of the Pack.

It seems the larger the Pack got the more little problems would surface, different problems on different PC's and with items that have not been altered since day 1.

Possible fix - break Pack down to smaller individual modules is all I can think of but I am open to suggestions.

Maybe there comes a point where ppl should be happy with what they have and not keep wanting more and more

Cpt.FrostBite to the rescue!    

again...  

I already suspected it had something to do with the proxies and I was right it seems. Take a look at the selection on the picture. It should have the miniguns selected, but also included in the selection are all the cargo and pilot proxies.

I only looked at hueyC.p3d and found the following selections that include cargo proxies (which probably shouldn't be included);

-Minigun

-Cm3

-Cm6

-Cm134

I suggest you take a good look at these selections and fix them if needed. I'm not sure if the selections were supposed to include the proxies, but the fact that they include the pilot proxy makes me suspect that this was not intended. Also check the other p3d-files for bad selections. This should fix the wierd bugs we are experiencing now.

With kind regards,

Cpt.FrostBite

Which islands are used on that screenshots?

@Cpt. FrostBite

My pic shows same model, same lod, same selection.

so from this is it possible that Bin or Pbo

are screwing things up because somewhere along the line you end up with a different version.

[Cpt. FrostBite 0]

hmm, perhaps it's odol-explorer (which is far from a perfect program), but it could also be your conversion to ODOL format.

I suggest you try and pack the PBO with un-converted MLOD p3d files (for use on your own computer) and see if you still have the bugs. Perhaps your conversion to ODOL format is messing up the selections. That would be very strange, but it's a possibility and not too much work to check.

Just trying to help. I figured if there was possibly an issue still present, that you'd want to know about it. We very much appreciate your hard work on these and all the other great addons you've created.

[csj 0]

@John_McClane - that was nothing personal. It was not even meant to be offensive.

@Cpt. FrostBite -

Quote[/b] ]I suggest you try and pack the PBO with un-converted MLOD p3d files (for use on your own computer) and see if you still have the bugs.

I generally do this until the 11th hour then I package and retest.

I will Pm you later, something I want to try.

Ok, I found the answer to my problem re: s11.sqs.

I removed the csjHueyD.pbo from @unsung folder and now everything is back to normal.

Apparently it still conflicts with CSJUH1.pbo from out of the addon folder.

The old multiple addon folders and multiple addon versions within trick eh..... Catches us all every now and then!

I remember once one of my mates had different meekong versions in his \ofp\addons; \res\addons\ and \nam\addons\ folders. Took us bloody ages to figure out why despite having the latest island version, he was always 'running thru air' or sunk in the ground

Keep up the good work Scud, I built AAO to fly the RAAF birds on -PTP was too small for much flying and the Dat was on a 'coastline' - So I may include some updated Nam islands in a coming island pack, I have about 30 odd battlefields (eras 1942-2005 for the Pacific, Vietnam, Timor, Euro, Med and Desert) which should see the light of day before we shelve OFP for AA

Island Pack sounds excellent [HC]Para.

I was surprised that the old pbo could effect the new pbo from a different folder, I am sure this is the trouble that most are experiencing.

I am still having this problem and trying to figure it out... As soon as I see these extended textures, the game crashes. I've checked all my addon folders for any of the old CSJ huey files. None present. I'd think it was something on my end, but it only happens when I use the Hueys.

[csj 0]

@John_McClane: ConfuciusOFP said he problem was just with H/ m260 and m261 is that same with you?

or is it every model C and H?

Give me PM or MSN if you like, could make it easier to find solution.

Same here... all other folders checked, old files replaced or deleted, but the M260 and 261 produces weird graphic errors, but the game does not crash...

Ok, I went through all the variants and found the models that I'm having the issue with...

H, D M260, D M261, D Slick, A2 Bushranger, A2 Slick, Huey M260, Huey M261, Huey XM213, Slick, VNAF Slick, XM213.

The "_" variants without rear cargo seats don't seem to have any issues.

What it looks like is a white spear extending up from the roof. If I start inside the helo, it's fine, but as soon as I get out and look at the chopper, bam, texture artifact and game crash (for me anyways).

[csj 0]

@John_McClane

thanks this may help some what.

The "_" variants or flat/clear decks are a sep model

then so is the A2 Bushranger to the rest and nothing was done with that bar the miniguns which the H model does not have. No proxies were altered with any of the models.

Quote[/b] ]What it looks like is a white spear extending up from the roof. If I start inside the helo, it's fine, but as soon as I get out and look at the chopper, bam, texture artifact and game crash

this does sound like a proxy problem. possible fire geo?

I still don't understand why it does this with some pc's and not others.

Ok looked like a boring night on TV anyway  

-------

come to think of it the A2Bushranger only had the rotor blur texture moved to top coz the mini was already fitted.

the plot thinkens

Yeah, same to me... inside the chopper everything is fine, in the external view i get a weird dark grey texture-wall with light grey stripes all across the screen but my game does not crash...

I have 2 confirmations from gunfighter-6 and ConfuciusOFP

that new fix works

would like to hear from atleast 1 more.

So far the problem that some have expirenced as far as I can work out was caused from some kind of file coruption some time during packaging.

[Warrior Xâ„¢ 0]

SuXxOr FiXxOr aka The shit just got cleaned from the fan aka Presto Chango aka That hit the spot aka Well i'll be darned! That did the wee old trick. aka YES, it is fixed. here's a screeny of almost every chopper in flight on my screen. (i'm surrounded by choppers beyond view lol)

Thank you! Got ya a third confirmation now. Now go and make me dinner......er....never mind....
