    it does not look so good

    useing a 300 poly lod as shadow gives a better shadow<span id='postcolor'>

    I haven't read anywhere that it is not allowed to have more then 1 LOD with less than 300 faces.

    I think the 300 for lowest poly count is too much (as 4500 is too much for highest), but why should other ppl suffer from me having still an Athlon 700 smile.gif

    As much as I am in favour for a standard like this implemented by all major sites, I don't think it will happen because they would have to remove some popular addons.

    I would like to work in the technical section, my capabilities as an artist are not this advanced  biggrin.gif

    I think my biggest knowledge so far is in everything about the different "invisible" LOD's (geometry, memory, hitpoint, fire geometry)

    For instance have I brought a bike into the game and all I had as reference was a online czech -> english dictionary, the BIS Jawa and a hexeditor   wink.gif  (and Eviscerator who told me how to tweak the geometry lod to stop the bike from diving into the ground  biggrin.gif )

    So I could for instance compile lists with memory points and selections needed for different type of addons (allthough I would prefer them to be land vehicles and/or static objects, haven't much looked into planes/choppers).

    But thats of course up to the Chief KTottE to decide  smile.gif

    Whats there to fake? It is no ingame screenshot. After all stated on natosoldier.com it could be just a rendered pic, a static object or whatever.

    FlipeR never (at least I'm not aware of it) said that he made a Hummer with working movable parts on it. I don't see the point in the "IT'S FAKE" - "IT'S NOT" arguing.

    He does? When did that happen?

    I started with static objects. It'll take a while until you can't run throu it and it is destroyable. But in terms of complexity I think you're right, personal weapons have the least amount of LOD's, memory points etc...

    Wheels: depbo data3d, xunpack the p3d for the scud launcher (8 wheels too), open file in hexeditor, search for levy and youll find the selection names for the wheels. the rest is trying. (of course for the right side you'll have to use pravy instead of levy)

    lights: it's the phenomenon formerly known as muzzle bug, you need to define cfgmodels in the cpp

    Fuelstations on Nogova work no more with the editorupgrade in the res addon folder, in the normal addonfolder they do work so I guess is has to do with the addon beeing loaded before the noe addon (?).

    Not sure about the fuelstations on the other Islands, I think they work regardless where the addon is installed.

    Bug since first released version.

    But if the highest resolution LOD has 13000 polys (never thought I would ever see something like this wow.gif ) than "low"poly models will still be around 2000 polys which is not really desirable.

    How about a selfrestriction, kinda like a standard for o2 addons? A max polycount for the level 1 LOD that anyone here can agree too? A standard like the OFPEC Tag-System? OK, maybe i'm dreaming now biggrin.gif

    re: Pins

    Thanks for not reading my post but replying regardless

    I've seen quite a few addons with 5 or more resolution lods where all LODs were exactly the same (ok, most have at least 1 shadow lod).

    What up with this? Is it cool to have BIG p3d files? I really don't get it. If you don't have lowpoly models to stick in the different LODs ok (I don't blame anyone, I know it is hard to do lowpoly models), but why putting in the same over and over? The Idea behind the resolution LODs is AFAIK that you provide less detailed models which are used when they are far away from the players point of view, so the computer can spend more power dealing with those models that are closer to the player and hence should have more detail. If you have no low poly model to put in the 'far away' LOD why making it worse and increasing the size of the p3d (and therefore giving the game more to load)?

    If someone can give me 1 good reason why it makes sense to stick the same model in diferent resolution LODs, I'd love to hear it.

    After the recent release of the MIG 29 (BTW: what machine am I supposed to have to use this 13000 vertex monster?  wow.gif ) and seeing that it is hovering over the runway regardless of the position of the landing gear (like all the other 3rd party airplanes i seen so far) I'd like to share my findings with you (I thought everybody knows this by now but I might be wrong)

    In the LandContact LOD instead of any tlumic definitions name the point for the nose wheel 'predni kolo', left whell 'levy kolo' and right wheel 'pravy kolo'. Now the plane should lie on its belly after the landing gear is retracted.

    If I knew how to place it I would be in sitting on the lovely beaches of an Island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, counting the money my knowledge would have earned me biggrin.gif

    But unfortunately I don't speak ODOL... wink.gif

    So you saying the proxy.beretta.01 entry in the p3d file is only there for the hell of it and there is nothing associated with the definition? I found it in every "dude" p3d file from resistance I checked (including the black op), and I found it in none of the 1.46 p3d's

    Hi all!

    I put a bike ingame, so far it works really well, everything whats supposed to turn, steer and smoke does exactly that. There is only one problem. When driving fast on bumpy roads it sinks into the ground... I fiddled with the geometry and landcontact LODs forever now, no luck.

    The BIS Jawa does it too, but on a much smaller scale so you won't notice if you don't look for it. How did they do it? Anyone here has a working geometry lod for bikes and is willing to share his secret? wink.gif

    Thanks in advance
