Kieme's modding corner


Recommended Posts

Sure thing Jock,

 

just rename the optional hull this way:

 

m1200-hull 2

 

Not exactly a 5 to 1, but there'll be some hulls with the panel.

 

Can't you also make multiple copies of the basic hull, each with a different number?  If the first 5 are copies of the basic and the sixth is the one with a panel, you'll have a 5-to-1 ratio (on average).

 

My assumption is that game picks one of the series randomly whenever it spawns the vehicle.  Is that not it?

Thank you for your continuing awesomeness, Kieme! I just installed the latest two.

 

I see that BTR's standard color mod for the Russians is out. IIRC, you were holding off on weathering the Russian vehicles due to your not liking their base color and not wanting to take the time to mod it as well.

 

Now that his mod is available, do you have any plans to perhaps use it as a base for adding weathering and such to the Russian vehicles as you have done for the other factions?

^ ...that'd be excellent!

Kieme, your VS-17 panels looks pretty sweet for adding more character to these vehicles but not so sure about the "taped on thing". Everything in the Army pretty much gets tied down with 550 cord. Always exceptions of course but yea.

 

Thanks for pointing it out, the truth is, I didn't know where it could be tied on the top of an M1200 (never seen one). So I went for a cheap ducktape, but I understand what you mean.

Sure thing, if you make more copies of the base one you'll get the effect you desire. Although I don't know how many missions will give you a certain quantity of M1200..

You're welcome.

I haven't checked the files yet. Of course it is time to finish the americans first, which are almost done. We will see, as I don't know how it would work using another person mod to mod over it.

Kieme CMBS USA M1200 vehicle names add on

 

A simple add on. Adds a name stenciled in low visibility on the left top hull of each vehicle. There are a a total of 12 names of more or less famous american explorers.

This is a stretched attempt, so consider it a full kind of a fictional addition, I had the files ready and decided to upload them.

 

Please note this is note compatible with the VS-17 mod.

Kieme- yea now that I thought about it I'm not sure what would make tie downs look decent/authentic either. The duck tape is a good compromise. My last post probably came off as kind of dickish so my apologies for not adding constructive feedback. Your vehicles are awesome and can't wait to see the rest, especially alternative camo schemes for the Russians if you end up doing that.

No problem at all! No need to apologize. When I look at the hummer real picture I found, I see the signal flag is held in place by wires.

 

About the camo schemes, they really take a lot of time and the results are never guaranteed. I'd like to try some. Maybe on the T-90AM, following the few pictures available, but still not that sure.

Kieme, just a quick question about your tip about "Aris Dirty Faces" mod.

I did it like you told but some soldiers still have the original "plain" faces, is there a way to avoid this ?

 

You have to do the same for all armies if you want them to show up for every army.

 

Example:

 

russian-soldier-skin

russian-soldier-skin 2

russian-soldier-skin 3

...

up to number 8

 

ukrainian-soldier-skin

ukrainian-soldier-skin 2

ukrainian-soldier-skin 3

...

up to number 8

 

american-soldier-skin

american-soldier-skin 2

american-soldier-skin 3

....

up to number 8

 

Cover all the numbers (at least) to substitute all in game faces.

No cammo schemes please, they've been phased out by regulation in 2012.

 

 

I don't want no phone calls from moscow..

LOL funny exchange.

So @BTR I am playing with your Russian vehicles and the look really good. I am also playing wiht @Kieme's vehicles which look really good too. The Russian ones look a little too clean - perhaps your regulations require more frequent washing. Are you guys talking about throwing some mud on them? Either @BTR giving his blessing to @Kieme adding some dirt or @Kieme giving his blessing on sharing some dirt techniques? Just curious what we have next in store. A part from symbols from @BTR and more vehicles from @Kieme which is pretty clear...

Police them moostaches!

VS-17 addendum

 

Now that I think about it, the tape itself is legitimate, but the tape would be applied around the sides like a picture frame.  No need to actually change it unless you really want to/are not busy effectively reskinning every object in the game and making it more awesome.
