BTR-80 APC for OPFOR

[mechastalin 0]

Edit: BTR has been released!

http://granq.se/files/SD_Btr80.zip

GranQ and I got together and decided to port a BTR-80 from OFP to ArmA. It's based on Sea Demon's original BTR-80. The configs should be easily adapted to other BTR models as well so I may port over the BTR-60/70 after this is released.

I don't mind that you link to some vague image hosting site. But please next time put a NSFW warning on for the ads, because I am sitting here in a crowded living room

looks ok the textures could been a bit more detailed and more dark but Keep up the nice work. Maybe ask RHS if you can use their old textures that came with ther stuff?

[Vulture2k1 0]

Yeah, the model seems to be detailed enough, but the textures need some rework IMHO :X

[lukemax 0]

Keep up the good work!

[granQ 293]

not saying this scripted thing will come for the btr.

Was working on a mission and got this idea, I like it so I will try to keep it, but we will see.

The grey´ish NV looks awesome!

Somehow reminds me of Novalogics 'Comanche vs. Hokum'

I send it to you by the end of the day, then you can have a look, see if anything you want to do?

I would like to release kinda quickly, so people that maybe working on some other wheeled apc can see how we done, copy and get their stuff working.

So I rather just go with this model and then help you/mecha..whoever to make a better package, with more versions in it and better textures.

[SEA DEMON 0]

i can change some parts of this model and make new textures.

I have newest model

I concur.

ArmA texture standards are quite high, any “home made†addon will have to match these standards otherwise the vehicle will look odd / toy-like when compared to its surroundings. The model itself is great anyway. Good work

[Shashman 0]

Agreed. Great to see it ingame and fully (apparently) functional, but those textures just don't fit

[Shadow NX 1]

If the proper tools would be availeable i think you would be surprised how flashy that thing could already look with all the bumpmaps and shiny effects.

However a bit work on the textures is never bad.

[granQ 293]

too bad people cant understand why I work with this, name on addon released with a working turret.. exactly, thats why I do this, so others can see how it to be made and then put their high quality stuff out.

Yeap we lack bumpmapping and stuff, not because we need the tools, but lack the knowledge kinda.

EDIT: yeap fully functional, so far, my NVG (gunner only), smokelaunchers, animations for some hatches (driver view), wheels and turret working ofcourse, but not the dampers..

[granQ 293]

(yes I know I can edit, but since this is a new post..)

Anyway, reworked some parts and since I was ingame I thought I take some new screens, judge this instead.

Seadeamon, sorry for the bad version I gave you URL to, uploading this one soon.

Nice work Gran. I personally think it looks great but I may be a bit biased :P

Did you change the guards.paa on the turret back or did I not get you the update last night?

[MehMan 0]

Is it selfshading?

[mattxr 9]

Is it selfshading?

i dont think nothing can shade freely untill the tools come out, but it looks great.

yeah not on the pictures but now it is.. however you gave me a texture with like 356x356, that gave me ctd. So now its 256x256.

[Commando84 0]

hehe getting better already. Yeah i get your objective granq, just that sometimes i've gotten so spoiled by all the late ofp r addons and then Arma stuff is so high polished too.

Ah, just wanted to see if I am seeing right in that second picture.
