cozza 24 Posted January 10, 2006 lol, you call that a mag, get Combat: Land Sea and Air  is that a Aussie army mag? Allso, I'm going to get O2 working tommorow, It was hot today and I went to the pool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Yes Combat: AL&S is an aussie mag lol . Good to hear your getting O2 up, and yes today was a bloody scorcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr reality 0 Posted January 10, 2006 It was hot today and I went to the pool It's bloody cold and wet here in the UK. You Aussies don't know how lucky you are. I'll never understand why all your soap and music stars move over here  . Ontopic: The bushmaster is looking good RicoADF. I read up on it a while back and it was stated that it was a failure but the Australian government cut it's losses and went ahead with the contract anyhow. How near completion is that model as i would think the textures maybe need a tweek here and there. I'd like to see your soldier models though and maybe a list of what your planning to make. I hope i'm not being a cheeky bastard  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 10, 2006 I hope i'm not being a cheeky bastard WELL YOU ARE!!!!, jk mate ok, im breaking this down: A) I have never heard that the bushmaster was a failure , from what I read its perfect for the ADF, however if someone was crazy enough to call it that I at them, coz its a great addition to the ADF . B) What do we plan to make? Well this is gonna be quite a list: Troops: Basic infantry (includeing the usual varients) SASR Commando's Crew Pilots plus any others. Vechicles: ASALV (all varients) Bushmaster (all varients) Landrover (all varientes includeing LRPV, SRV & the Parakeet) Mogs (all varients) M113's (all varients includeing modern A4's) Artillery (both 105 & 155mm Howitzers) AS-1 Abrams M1A1 AIM Mack Truck Amphibious vechicle (cant think of its name atm, will replace when find it) plus any other vechicles we find. Aircraft (you best grab a coffie, this could be long): Fixed wing:- F-18 Hornet F-111 F-35 JSF C-130 707 (passanger & air refueler) A330 Air refuler 737 AWAC's Orion Caribou Hawk 'training' plane Pilatus PC-9/A (its a FAC plane, a recon plane) Rotory wing: S-70 Blackhawk S-70B Seahawk MRH-90 Ch-47 Chinook Uh-1H Huey slick Uh-1 Bushranger ARH Tiger Seaking Navel: This area is hard, ofcourse due to the OFP engine and size of each addon, plus time to do them. They will be done, but when isnt so certain: Fremantle Patrol Boat (will update current one) Armidale Patrol Boat LPA (the Kanimbla & Manoora) LCH (Tobruk) Assault Carrier (currently there are 2 'assault' carriers that are going to be orded soon, there are 2 companies that are applying to build these 2 carriers. When the winner is reveiled so will our carriers name) ANZAC Frigate Adelaide Frigate Cruisers (dont know names off by heart) Landing boats Collins submarine I think i covered it I could have just said everything, but i dont think that those outside of australia would know them all lol. Also, there is a possability of going back to Vietnam and even beyond after we have done these, nothing is concrete Now do people see why we need more members for this? This mod shal take awhile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr reality 0 Posted January 10, 2006 That isn't a list, that's an order form for an African dictator. If your team pulls this off it will be one hell of an achievment. I wouldn't worry about the time frame though as your obviously gearing this for Armed Assault if not Game2. If i could make one comment it would be to cut down on the aircraft and naval side as we all know OFP and probably armed assault isn't the best simulation for these types of addons. I would just make Australian versions of the addons that are already ingame. then you will have you beloved OFP the way YOU want to play it, and of course many others  read this article on the bushmaster quite interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Heres the updated pic: I know navel isnt a big thing, however the ships we have are good as launch platforms for missions (eg take off in a seahwak from Anzac frigate helideck to land SF on island for example). As for airforce, airforce in OFP is a large thing, just not air to air, which most of our stuff isnt very geared towards anyway (except F-18 ofcourse And this is my last post for the night, cya tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted January 11, 2006 anyone making the LRPV? I love that car. So Mad Max looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Yes we have a LRPV in the works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoTekK 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Anyone have any decent pics of the interior of the Tiger cockpit? I have a few good shots of the instrument panelling, and a couple of really small shots of a couple different angles of the cockpit, but nothing fantastic. Hence, I'm currently having some issues building the cockpit area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted January 11, 2006 Got o2 and bulldozer up and running and just geting the feel of it again. Its been a long time since I last used O2. But I cant get Texview to download. My internet is on the shits. Broadband over the satilite and its as crap as my old 28.8k speed dial up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 11, 2006 That isn't a list, that's an order form for an African dictator. But i'm not african lol, yes its a very long list, but since BIS can predict when their games will be released even less reliabily then the weatherman can predict tomorrows weather I think OFP has some time less, and yes Armed assault is within our plans . Nice read on the bushmaster, still I think they are great EDIT: New ARH Tiger pic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted January 11, 2006 I know a person who works at ADI where they make the Bushmasters. Hey a welder and welds all the the parts to em Hey Rico what part of Aus do you live in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cozza 24 Posted January 11, 2006 Just outside of Melbourne in the middle of Fucking nowhere, Nice clean country air Why not use P:UKF Land Rovers, Only thing you'll change is textures and some little modeling work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoTekK 0 Posted January 11, 2006 3827 tris, 2156 verts. Still got a bunch of areas I can optimize this sucker, but I need rest. Ortho wires Detail wires Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 12, 2006 Looks sweet mate, keep up the good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoTekK 0 Posted January 12, 2006 Depending on whether you want to count the weapons (FFARs, Hellfires), I'm either slightly over my 4k tri budget, or significantly overshot. And I still have that thingie going from the engine to the tail rotor left to model. What the heck is that thing, anyways? A fuel line? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 12, 2006 I think its the radio antenna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoTekK 0 Posted January 12, 2006 The images look similar to the ones below, but a significant amount of optimization has been done, allowing more crap to be modelled on. I'm currently at just under 4200 tris without weapons, and 4997 tris with a full weapon rack. Once the main stuff is finalized and I weld the two halves together, I should be able to shave off a significant number of tris when I gt rid of most of the edges running down the centerline. Ortho wires Just started unwrapping various parts of this bastard, and I've gained newfound respect for vehicle modellers. I'm about dying from all the crap that's gotta be unwrapped in a single model. Any suggestions would be welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 13, 2006 wow, thats beautiful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoTekK 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Well unwrapping this bastard was quite the learning experience. Anyways, optimized the hell out of the mesh, in particular finalizing the mesh and getting rid of the edges running down the centerline of most of the components and the main body. I think I'm at under 4100 tris without weapons, and 4900 with weapons. Most of it is unwrapped, aside from the cockpit frame (which is proving quite the nightmare), and still finalizing the layout. Whoops, got a little too careful about the layout, evidently. Ortho wires and UV for anyone interested: Ortho wires Ortho with UV overlay I'm either going to reorganize the current UV layout to give some components more texture space, or I'm just going to stick the cockpit UVs in the same sheet. Just curious, are there any reasons not to put the cockpit textures in the same sheet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricoadf 0 Posted January 14, 2006 To my knowledge theres no reason why not, but someone more knowledgeable in this should be able to answer this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
