Well,I vote we do our own.

Anyway,here's how the interior

of the APC is comin along.

I'm compromising between the movie

version and what it will look like in game.

As anyone who's familiar with the APC

will know,in real life it can barely hold 4

people.But the movie version seats around

3 times as many.

I'm holding off on finishing the

textures,til the geometry is in

place.

looking outstanding so far! Although I think it would be a better Idea to get the vehicles,troops and weapons done before starting on buildings.

I hope this project doesn't end up like Nephelim's over-hyped addons.

Evenin.

Early work on the Comms area.

Don't ask what the buttons do,

because I've no idea either.

Cool shit guys

I remembered looking at all those monitors, I have a script somewhere on my hard drive that allowed you to switch between viewpoints of your teammates, almost like the helmet-cam from the movies. I'll have a nose around after work tomorrow for you guys.

[prodetar2 0]

Thnx man! that would be an awesome feature to our mod

[Macser_old 0]

I knew doin this APC would be a challenge,

but I didn't realise how much of a challenge.

Anyway,I've no intention of stoppin now,

and besides,I'm actually enjoyin it.

Again,please bear in mind this is a work in progress.

Cargo Section:

Comms Area:

The APC looks awesome. Great work.

[UKSubmariner 0]

Sorry took so long, I remembered it was on my backup drive back in Yorkshire.. but I went and had a look on OFPEC where I found it originally..

Helmet Camera Script

Top lookin' APC by the way!

[Macser_old 0]

We appreciate the comments guys.

Thanks for the help Submariner,

that script could come in handy.

[Macser_old 0]

After someone "accidently" deleted my entire

view cargo lod,I've been burnin the midnight oil

tryin to get back to where I was.

I managed to do just that.

I updated texures and added some more

window dressing.

That's Bastlers Marines btw.

Here

and thats usefull, how?

i cant make heads or tails from that...

@snowball: sure, but the geo lod is always bugging on my end and no paths yet so you could do all that... if you want.

(and i apreciate it if you would send me that base of yours to see what you mean...)

[Macser_old 0]

Hmm,I know it looks like AtStWalker is

directing you to nothing.

But on closer inspection,I think he's

trying to point out a way of makin

a unit or object(facehugger)appear

at a specific distance from the player.

At least that's how it seems to me.

Would still need some work though,

if that's the case.

yes.. the facehugger sounds like a created-in-front mask

A pic -> http://revistes.upc.es/wiki/images/8/8f/Facehugger1.jpg

Then:

[unitname, distance in front of the unit regardless his direction] exec "createinfront.sqs"

Example : [player, 200] exec "createinfront.sqs"

Code Sample

; createinfront.sqs

_unit = _this select 0

_dist = _this select 1

_Xpos = (getpos _unit select 0)+(sin (getdir _unit)*_dist)

_Ypos = (getpos _unit select 1)+(cos (getdir _unit)*_dist)

_i = "whatever you want" createvehicle [_xpos,_ypos,0]

exit

Hello Walker,

I see where you're going with

that script.We'll give it a go,

when we get some time.

It'd be nice to see it in action.

Thank you for the help.
