In the ofp preferences set auto drop down to 0 or none and it should be smoother i had the same problem being all laggy on desert island even until i turned that off. Sincerely, BlackDeath

plain OD usually in the community refers to a plain olive drab version. www.google.com for more info :-) Sincerely, BlackDeath

Just wanted to say that in addition the the hmmwv' pcaks in OD and Woodland by me and ofcourse marfy's desert. that there i am also doing the 5t trucks from bis over again in od woodland and desert and also hemmt aswell as the fmtv but the 5t truck pack is almost done the hmmwv od variants are almost done and they should be released togather in 3 camo schemes, aswell then with bobcats model i am making all hemtt variants also in 3 camo's, aswell as the fmtv which they should be released togather just wanted to inform you guys that most are covered, either by us or by some other team. Sincerely, BlackDeath

Hey, Some of you know me from my work on the new hmmwv packs modifying the hoods and sides, making entirely new woodland textures, and working on new od textures at the moment. If you have no clue what I am talking about here is a pic of them in progress. Pic Anyways to the point. I need a good modeler to either model from scratch a FMTV or modify the bis 5t truck into one. So I can make the entire FMTV family in 3 camo's. Desert, Woodland, and Olive. Or if the modeler wishes to work with me on the FMTV family and do all of the modeling bit whilst i concentrate on textureing that is most welcome too. Here is a site with a list of the FMTV family http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/index.html starts at M1078 FMTV and goes to M1095 MTV MTVT. The main model I need made is the http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m1083.htm m1083 I could most likely make the rest if that model is made. Well I hope someone will follow through on this project as it is needed to provide modern trucks for the western side :-) Sincerely, BlackDeath E-Mail:bobbyglen@budweiser.com

I have about 30 high res 1024 x 1024 fmtv pics i have got if anyone wants to give it a go i have them from every angle imaginable even down to the undercarriage :P Sincerely, BlackDeath EDIT:hmmwv no thats not a problem as long as its in .3ds format in the end so i can import it to o2.

IF someone models the mtvr i will skin it. Sincerely, BlackDeath

Any further questions about the pack can be sent to bobbyglen@budweiser.com and i will report it to the appropriate member. Sincerely, BlackDeath

Thanks for the nice comment Gordy, dont really have a problem with covering the details its just that the olive is such a good camo especially in ofp that it covers the details the break of the model very well about like irl od is a very useful paint scheme in the military. Sincerely, BlackDeath ::::::EDIT:::::: Heres another pic to go with the ones a few posts up.

Been working on the OD version of the pack the last 4 1/2 hours hand painted the side which looks as good as a photo (or so i'm told) one thing i noticed though is that OD camo sure covers up details unless your fairly dang close. You should se a few of the details in the texture though i will try and get better pics up later on when i get more done. In one pic i added 2 woodland variants and two od variants pics. The other are the 4 1/2 's of progress on the new Olive ones. Sincerely, BlackDeath WOODLAND/Olive Drab Picture of two variants of each.

Didnt see there was another hmmwv pack being developed aswell, hmm kinda interesting. Hope everything turns out ok for you and you arent just wasting your time or anything with there being so many developed :-( Sincerely, BlackDeath

Sure is alot of incorrect parts on those two hmmwv's from the grill to the hood to the ir light etc but all can be fixed with a little bondo and some superglue :P, but anyways i might create a un hmmwv later on after the od ones are done, maybe even a snow one. Sincerely, BlackDeath

Not planning on doing actual resistance textures for the hmmwv, seems rather silly... not any country can just go up and buy them if they feel frisky plus the ofp resistance are too poor unless they captured one hmm i dunno but i am definately gonna do a od green one for international purposes that way you can use it for anything. Sincerely, BlackDeath

1024 DDR RAM is the biggest trick to that set up, ofp eats it on very high terrain detail :-) Sincerely, BlackDeath

Thats an old pic i completely redid the hood and parts of the front end in the newest pics will post some later on, also did ALOT of texture changes. Sincerely, BlackDeath

I didnt start a new thread in addons and mods complete. and For all your info. i should be releasing with permission from bobcatt an update to the v076 hmmwv pack thats only 2.60 mb and it updates the woodland models and textures so you dont need to redownload the whole pack. Sincerely, BlackDeath

The m240 isnt an old machine gun, and the m249 is hardly a gun to replace it. They are for two different purpose's and also with one being 5.56mm and one being 7.62 theres a big difference there. The m240 was designed to replace the m60 not to long ago truthfully, and most units like in bobcatt's still use the m60 alot, whereas my unit has m240's on everything. Main difference besides the caliber of the two weapons is the fact that the m249 is a squad weapon m240 is a platoon/mounted medium machine gun, well there is also the range difference and all that but i am just to sick to go there at the moment. Sincerely, BlackDeath

refering to this IMAGE I am wondering are you trying to have the soldiers wear the standard bdu's undershirt there? if so the one there is way too bright and shiny. the bdu's undershirt doenst shine at all. Just wanted to post that. Thanks, Sincerely, BlackDeath

Sure dont care for having two Ranger packs though. Why not just use the bis pistols or the BAS ones instead. It really is a waste of space on everyone who would rather only have one ranger addon one delta one green beret etc, to download another Ranger pack. I really hope you consider changing that. Oh and by the way. Seeing some of these photo's reminds me of how i dress running around base and doing odd and end stuff. But other than the required 'extra' Ranger pack this is a good addon :-) Sincerely, BlackDeath

Hmm. Well I would read the readme on his poisition on the issue. If he sais "Under no circumstances can you use this addon, or any parts of it to make your own unless expressed permission is given by me..." blah blah. I wouldnt run around releasing it then. But if he sais "Just give me credit where it is due." release it. Also Rudedog you will want to remove that webgear, since its not easy gettin in tank with gear sticking out in all directions to hang on the metall. Also i'm just infantry but I do believe tankers have their own boots so you would need to change those. Body armor isnt even highly common to wear for a tank crew. they, or te ones here at whford usually put that on if they get out or man the mg's, althought there is that coolant vest they wear that looks like armor in a way. and you may wish to apply a simple grey texture to the top inside of the drivers hatch. Looks odd it being jet black, other than that this has shaped up to be a damn near perfect addon. Sincerely, BlackDeath

Heres a video of them its 23.8mb so if your a 56k user like me i am sorry. Took me 2 hours to upload so i assume it would take 1hr to download. Anyways its not the best video it just shows some of the detail on the pack. If anyone knows a better program to make vids with let me know that especially decrease the size. VIDEO NOTE: This is the VIDEO Not the pack. Sincerely, BlackDeath

Just wanted to post some more pics. Hope you like em. Sincerely, BlackDeath Pic Nogova Pic Tonal1 Pic Tonal2 Pic Tonal3 Pic Tonal4 Pic Tonal5 Pic Tonal6 Pic Tonal7

Yeah i understand that shame there isnt a new topic for this pack since its hardly the same as it was when first released IMO. Sincerely, BlackDeath| P.S. thanks for all the constructive feed back guys If only all addon makes got such nice resposes as you guys have given me this community would be a better place :-)

Dont think i will dirty it up too much main reason because its already dust lookin (cant tell good from that angle) second because theres no mudholes or muddy areas in ofp so most likely unless its raining it wont be too muddy. But i will look into adding a little but of a mud splash here and there. Sincerely, BlackDeath
