Erwin Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Well, if now you can't get the in-game helicopter to fly... you will lose all respect and suddenly find yourself a pariah here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAssassin26 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 bro this would be epic if you could get them to fly.... I'd grab a beer and jump for joy!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquila-SmartWargames Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) It´s already flying, see the screenshot. However you better find another reason to open up that beer of yours. Even if one manages to get the impression of proper airborne rotor RPM right via 3D model rotor tricks it still looks/controls awkward. While the landed active rotor version provides enhanced immersion I personally see no real utility yet in having an airborne helo and thus won´t continue on this. If one wants to work on it contact me and you can have the files. Edited January 14, 2020 by Aquila-CM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAssassin26 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Can we get a video of what it looks like flying? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ve just downloaded the Ruins Pack and modded it a bit to make it blend in better with my factory mods. I think it works very well visually - but there is still the problem of the amount of actual cover and concealment such mods provide. This looks amazing. How do I get the ruins mod to work and where can I find the factory mod? Will this work for all CM games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this work for all CM games? Just made a quick test in CMFB: Yes, the factory mods seem to work in the other WWII games (I dont know about the modern games). The naming of buldings and such more or less follow the same rules, so for example modular buildings seem to share the same names in all WWII titles. But: You cant simply drop the folder with Umlauts_Factory into CMFB and then turn for instance Aachen into a ruined city. The mod set is meant to be used with maps that are specifically designed for the mod set (and carry the mod tag: umlauts_factory) so you need to do a lot of work on the map to make it look right. Also this mod set is designed for the Soviet Union, so all shop signs and such are in Russian. Please look at the link in my signature to find out more about the mod set and how to use it. The download link in the thread doesnt work any more - but I´ll put in a dropbox link. The ruins in the video above will need more work before I can release them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imported the ACH and the goggles into Blender and parented them together. then I exported the new ACH into a different folder in my desktop under the name as the ACH from the original MDR file. I put that into my Z folder and it happen to work. but I have no clue about how to do textures and turning them into a BMP file. I got lucky. This is a beauty bro. Can you do a version that makes goggles appear half the time? Just to add some variety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffelmann Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes, you are right. I tried it myself. But I took a copy of the original helmet-mdr into my Z-folder and renamend it to "smod_american_helmet-soldier [night].mdr" So the helmets are without googles when they have the NVGs mounted... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOS:96B2P Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 +1 @Aquila-SWG Interesting & amazing stuff. You are one talented dude. Inside the well deck of the USS Wasp. Amphibious group exiting the well deck and heading for the beach. Wish I would have had the below billboards for Coup. The billboards are very useful in urban terrain. Keep up the good work my friend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi I´ve been trying to mod the boxcar that Aquila has shared into a WWII boxcar, but there are some strange shades/glares on it - and neither of us have any idea how to get rid of them. Aguila suggested that @sbobovyc or @37mm might know how to fix this. Also the texture seems a lot more blurry than other textures. Any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 The model's faces look like they need to be re-oriented. The textures also obviously need to be re-assigned, but that you know. I'd do that after any fixes on the model. Unless you like swearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I suspect it's a UV map thing, which it sounds like none of us amateurs really understand. Our H&E M79's gleam bright, almost white, when the games shaders are off. Then they look fine with the shaders on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 UV mapping is fairly easy, but time consuming. I think I suggested Substance Painter to a few of you- that takes a good deal of the pain out, as you can do it in 3D space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now all units, buildings and other objects are incredibly dark! Do you know if this is because of some GPU setting (since you´re able to play with the shaders on)?

I am actually not certain I know what you mean with "the textures also obviously need to be re-assigned". My knowledge of 3D models is very close to nil, so the only thing I am realtively comfortable doing when modding is usually renaming some files and photoshopping some bmp-files. But perhaps the latter is what you mean by reassigning? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
