Thanks!

Which lod do I place the new proxies? Visual lods and memory?

Thanks your hint made me find the proper usage.

Thanks Gnat!

I did this with another flight unit. If you shoot it down the logic still tries, as mentioned above to use the parachute. (could blame it is the blackbox)

its also an alpha forum ;)

Its seem like the skin attaches automaticly to the section that refers to lower arm, hand, fingers. e.g. forearmroll and hand ... Is there anyway to make the model not use the skinning?

I am building a custom unit that doesnt require the regular hands or the head. So is there a way to hide the hand skinning? For the head it was neough to remove the bysta proxy. P.S. Stalker your message box is full :)

One quick one: Which proxy is responsible for the hand skin? bysta is for the head.

Ok here is a sneak preview of the unit I am building for our Arma3 Mod: Skynet ... HK Aerial Drone: http://www.elithor.com/pics/sky_drone.jpg Its supposed to be a litle annyoing flying unit. With minor weapons ...

Hi all, thanks for the massive feedback. I would like to simulate a computer controlled robot unit, which is not to be controled by a human. But the idea of a remote brings other stuff to my mind. A terminal to be captured in order to control an enemy robot unit or somehting. Thanks again everyone.

Cheers Max. So the "steering" unit has to have no view - pilot lod? For example if I create a flying "robot" that will be smaller then the regular passenger. Thanks for the hint.

Allright upgrade to 3ds 2013. No more problems ...

Yeah, i ported bewf to iron front. Lots of copy pasting. Units, gear, groups, buildings...to much

OK I upgrade to 3D max 2013, no more problems.

Its not so easy. You need to rewrite the hole units table, for each unit that is in the mod and each side.

Problem is that when I export with 3d Max 9 (not 2009) the obj file couldnt be read allwys get an error. Or could you tell me the right settings? Group and Materials? All to default, Object or material? Use Material yes/no Create material library yes /no Germetry : Rotate model? Face? Texture coordinates? Normals? Smooth groups? Vertice scale (ammount) File #of digits Compress number y/n relative vertex number y/n Anyone could give answr this? ---------- Post added at 01:56 ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 ---------- Well, now after fideling around with the "Unofficial Arma2 Modding Tools" i was able to export it in a better version. Resetting the pivots did its job. Though one object is still mia. Guess I should play more around instead of buggering the community. :) Could it be that bulldozer sometimes doesnt show all objects of a model?

Everytime I import, lots of objects are not on the position they supposed to be is there a trick in it? here a picture: (@Max Power: model is a free licence for non commercial use)

In the tutorial is the following: How does this actually work? How do I use this script? I installed it using the video. But: 1. Run macro 2. create custom Toolbar. Now which is the right name for action to link it to my custom tool bar (e.g. arma2) Is it Visual MAXScript editor? And then a nice tutorial how to use the script itself.

Hello, One of my model lods seem to cause a problem. A shadow is seen that appears to be from one of the proxies. How can I fix this? There are shadoes in triangles ´...

Its not the shadow10 lod. Here is another example where it goes wrong: http://www.elithor.com/pics/edit6.jpg (144 kB)

Went off topic.

My new model is falling into the ground as sound as it touched solid surface. When I place the unit into water it is fine, as long as it doesn't touch the ground. Any clue what the cause is? I created the unit from scratch, defined all lods, defined all body parts etc. lod1 - model with definitions View Pilot Shadow Volume Geometry LandContact (its empty) Hit-points and Fire Geometry. The model is larger then a regular human, could this be the cause?
