Harry, yes they are possible. They're frame-based like usual, but as far as I know there's no real documentation on it or anything. Making the .rtm file for the animation is easy, well... easy as setting the pose each frame anyway. The config is the hard part to figure out.

A while ago I tried figuring it out scrounging up little scraps of related info and then experimenting from there. I managed to get as far as having a guy pull two fingers out of his fist while raising his arm (wasn't trying for a nice animation, just to get it to work).

Can I borrow a STANAG magazine from someone for my XM8 model (and the sight if anyone has made one like that)?

Thanks Fox, I'll take a look.:thumb_down:

Edit: can you tell me the max number of faces I can have on my model which also works in ArmA2?

Can someone who has Volvo FH16 semi trucks in thier country please contact me. I need reference images of the truck in order to make it for ArmAII, but because I live in America I can't get any. The internet is a poor source for detailed pictures. ANyone that helps can be a beta tester when i get it into game. Thanks.

Sometimes looking at scale modelling sites, or even their pics of scale models can help. It's not really great practice to make a model of a model but at least the scale model guys do their research. Plus, if you get to a scale model project site, you can usually see the thing as its being assembled to get a look at the interior and such from angles that normally aren't possible.

Max Power, thank you for your reply. If I do get this in game, I'd like for you to be a beta tester cause so far you are the only that has helped me. I've looked at modeling sights and they do have good references, but the problem is there are so many different configuration of the chassis that pretty much no source of reference online is complete enough that I can get a good idea of what to do, which is why I need someone to get next to the real thing and photograph everything about it, specifically, the chassis.

Hmmm... I think I came across a site once that had walk around pics of trucks like that. Ill dig through my Firefox, see if I have the address.

I'm not a beta tester but you can check out the beta tester group in my sig and contact a person or two from there. Those are tester people recommended by other ArmA 2 content creators. You can pay me back by joining the Trusted Tester - Developers group and sharing your experiences with the testers you do use, whoever they are :)

I just wanted to say that after a great deal of time looking, I finally found a scale model of the project I'm working on. It has not only accelerated by production time, but has allowed me to identify and correct errors already present in the model quickly and easily. If anyone wants to blast through a project with a high degree of accuracy, I recommend getting a scale model very highly.

At the time of writing it I'd thought there was, but unfortunately remembered that I'd gone too far back and that was an OFP or Arma 1 addon or something
