T-55 pack status

[Shadow NX 1]

Well thats exactly what i am aiming at.

I dont want to piss of Törni but there are some unwritten rules in addonmaking that anyone should respect if he wants to be respected for his work

First he announced a T-62 pack and later shows Kenjis T-62 that was released under the RHS tag for OFP and that was without ever asking us.

When i said he should please not work on this without any permission he stopped it, however now Kenji tells me that it seems the "completely new" T-55 is more or less a mix of the old RHS-T55s and Kenjis T-62 pack where a few parts were made more detailled.

Also the tiny preview pics were bit fishy and make me think they were posted in that way so noone can see what models were used.

Personally i dont think i would have said no if i was asked if we have anything against this but that way it turned out now i think noone should expect our ok on it.

Call me a drama maker but for me a addon ( and even its a model ) is a piece of art and by that is property of the maker and should be respected by at least asking before you start to edit his work.

Like i said there are some unwritten rules and you better play by them or regret it later.

Sorry to piss you off. OK. I take it as a no. I replace everything with new meshes. The first LOD will then be delayed until later tonight. Has anybody knowledge from where the Vilas MG is originating from? I assume that it is from the game itself.

My aim is to get as many vehicles operational in ArmA as possible. They need work to get them at the same level.

More screens to follow.

EDIT: The T-62 was the very first time I tried to get something ported into ArmA. Do not forget I got the game in february, so I had very little experience in addon making back them. It was never released into public and in that form never will   As I said before I had no prior OFP experience. So this is all new stuff to me.

EDIT: And community can do whatever they wish with my addons. They are free for you to use and abuse. As long as no money is beign made with them. Then it is entirely different story.

Will talk to Kenji and see what he says, if he says ok then we can save you from redoing all the parts but for the future i suggest to just contact the maker before and ask for his opinion, think your life here would be lot easier then.

Also maybe we can even cooperate on this pack, PM me if intrested.

While i think Shadow you are quite right, you still have to see the fact that he´s quite new to addon making and hasn´t released something which is your work.

As long as he is showing screens with model parts from your addons but not releasing it, you should relax a bit.

And Törni is one of the people who try to bring new vehicles to the game and this is a very good thing

Now that´s a very nice step, Shadow

[Shadow NX 1]

From previous situatiosn i can tell you that most of the time the stuff you see on pics will eb exactly like that in the release version and once the thing is released it is worth 0 if i say i dont want the parts to be used.

LIke i said above, just contact the maker and see what his opinion on this is, maybe he also offers help.

At least me and Skaven make sure all weaps we use in our pack only use parts that we got permission for cause i expect that from others so i also play by this rule.

@Shadow - private mailed you. I continue to remodel stuff. Eventually I will replace all parts with new meshes unless there is a permission to modify/use some of the old meshes.

I'll put some more pics online as the work proceeds so you can see where it is going.

Your Russians are btw one of the best looking addons. Those blue tapes on mags really rock

More WIP shots. From back this time. New track shapes, original Soviet style tool boxes, exhaust unit and back deck details.

maybe use imageshack as picture host as it seems more suitebale

Model looks good so far

[Törni 0]

Thanks I'll drop more pics in the evening. Be sure to notify me how it is about the turret shape - if it could be used or not.

Back to work.

Looks good mate. Keep it up.

Put more details on it, for better normal maps. as low poly model to use in arma is this perfect!

keep it up, but do pls a more detailed version, so you will have an excellent looking t55 at least.

Just stopping by to say that this pack looks nice ! It will be a far better choice for SLA than T72, specially when pitted against RACS' M60 !

I hope that all issues regarding the use of other addon makers' work have been solved. Please Torni, keep in mind that some addon makers don't want their work, or even part of it, used by others, which I completely understand.

However, it's still a good thing that you take the time to port these vehicles into ArmA and release them for the community ! Thanks

T-55 the most produced tank in history. Everyone has one or two of them. Most likely to be found in Northern Saharani also.

As their grand fathers during the revolution...

It looks pretty good have you thought about what paint scheme your going to give it? or is it too early for that?

[Törni 0]

I was going after the "notorious SLA green". But different textures/skins are easy to make if the basic model is ok.

[Törni 0]

Still no word about the turret. A lot of gaming with T-55 today and everything seems to be ok what comes to the model and configs.

I'll put first ingame screens online tomorrow. Just added the co-axial mg barrel to the model.

EDIT: Later today that is, just checked the time  

[CanadianTerror 0]

Add in a few camo schemes too if you can.

Makes it more interesting.

OK. The model and all of it's LODs should be ok. This is a pic of vanilla T-55 in ArmA. The textures are not final - just something that you do not have to look at grey polygons.

I will start the texturing process asap.

look at the arma.rpt file, if the model is ok

in my mod, i was meaning the models are still ok, but in the .rpt file some errors were listed, had to fix them.

OK. I'll look into that also. I think I got the game balance pretty good nailed up. It takes 1.5x-2x T-55s against M60A3s for an even fight under AI control. Exceptions happen from time to time - as always in ArmA. Sabod rounds of the T-55M even up the ratio a bit.

[Shadow NX 1]

Eeeek, the old OFP textures... horror

Btw, these are all Sima-6s creation ( like most of the model ) so maybe also ask for his ok, hes still active as he last posted in his Mopar Madness thread.

Maybe you got more luck getting your PM answered than me

Oh and for your own and our comfort try to get used to imageshack

[Törni 0]

I know looks like s**t. Just some textures thrown on the model.

Wait untill you see the final model with new textures. Any news about the turret? There is also new hull front at works.

This is the model that was used to config testing. Have not created the final .pbo from the new model since the texturing is not complete. Notice also that some parts that are in the new verison are missing from this pic.

The wheel spacings on the original ones was also wrong.

I'll post some pics as the work proceeds. Looks much much better.

Well just wait for the screens of the upgraded version with 1,5x-2x resolution textures. I'll bet you do not like the old one so much after that

Looking good, can't wait to try it out man
