I'll have a look when i get home from work

I have lots of pics and blueprints but not sure what i have on Mi-14

[Fox '09 14]

need some models of simple bunkers.. can anyone point me to the right place?

my modeler has given up, and I'm awful at O2.. (he makes models in 3ds and I just port em and "make it happen")

[ray243 11]

I hope this is the right place to post this, cause I'm not too sure. Is it possible to make explosive reactive armor explode after being hit by RPGs? And making the disappear after being hit? The Reactive armor on the M1A2 doesn't seem to do much......

Unlikely this will be done. Partial destruction of vehicles is one thing OFP, ArmA1, ArmA2 and quite possibly AO don't have, so it would require a) MLODS and b) heavy scripting.

But yeah, this fits better into this:

Its not really a request but rather a question if it can be done in Arma 2.

Does anyone know real life photos of Somali Mogadishu Olympic hotel building?

I'm still looking real life photos of olympic building and target building from 1993 operation in Mogadishu.

Any real good reference photos on 90's era of Mogadishu would be much appreciated.

Here are some pictures of Mogadishu I've found, it really hasn't changed at all since 1993 so you shouldn't have to worry about finding time-related pictures.

The prop itself is made of a Thompson m1a1 submachine gun with a spas 12 with the slide reversed on the bottom and some set dressing. I would just take some sights from a weapon you think looks good and put them in the carry handle... maybe the sights from the Thompson m1a1.

I don't have any resources for what they used for sights but here's a very good resource showing the exact measurements of all of the features of the pulse rifle and its various components.

[ryguy 10]

Those sights look a lot like the ones from the AUG, G36, or M16

[wolfbite 8]

Ah my book says its a leaf pattern sight....

Oh yeah and regarding the BHD Mogadishu I believe it was filmed in morocco instead of magadishu.. because theyre still a bit lively ou there... I think Mogadishu is meant to be more red earthed but thats only what ive heard/remember so dont take my word for it. Cheers max will check the link when I'm back home..

if anyone has the time and will, i would love some HD images (upclose where possible) of the Russian BMPT.

Did some search around the web, but while US stuff is easier to find, RUS is..well. Especially if you don't related with the language whatsoever..

A translation of the following would also help out...

I wouldn't use the AVP3 M-41 as a reference, however. I think I have something that might interest you.

As for the sights, they're in the groove on top of the gun. ;)

Also, anybody have any more references for this little honey? I have the CM Tech Manual, but it doesn't have any cargo bay images, lat alone pictures of the bottom.

[roberthammer 582]

This is from vbs2 "how to do" - ,but it got almost same things like new OA - like thermal or laser

On this site you can see how to create thermal texture or how to set laser (in OA there somekind other config commands than in vbs2)

I need a seamless DCU pattern...

[max power 21]

If you can't find any, try using existing ones and using seamless texture tile creating techniques:

http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/photoshop-tutorial-create-a-seamless-texture-from-a-photo

http://www.gfxartist.com/features/tutorials/740

http://www.gameinnovator.com/seamless_textures_games.php

Each of these tuts use the same basic technique but have different information about repeating patterns.

[Fox '09 14]

thanks for the tuts, I knew how to get it "seamless" like in the first pic of the first tut, but that's it. I knew there was more to it!
