laurent 22 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I don't know if the animation bug has already been reported, I searched the forum with the term "Patton" and found nothing. The Patton's rear wheel (only it) on the left side doesn't roll when the tank is rolling, the wheel remains static . It is ok on the right side, the wheel turns.

Halmbarte Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The wheel on the bus goes round and round... I've seen the bug reported in the forum before. It is an annoyance, for sure. H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity (I'm a complete buffoon in the dark on such matters) can you fix animations in Blender? If it is an animation of course? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at work and will take a look later after Laurent sends me the files I asked for by PM. I never ever ever ever ever work on Blender or GiMP stuff or write scenario briefings or look for cool images or scenario creation inspiration while at my job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a LOT of funky changes to do from what I have to work with and didn't function properly in game. I NEVER found out if the damn rear turret MG even works on the IS. I forget if I have ever seen it function. But in Blender I have learned a bit more of what to watch for and so it MIGHT go better the next try... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent 22 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I take advantage of you are here to point out another small graphic problem: The English helmet in BN and FI appears to be placed incorrectly on the soldier's head (as was the case for the French helmet that you had brilliantly fixed). It should be lowered a bit. There is a gap between the top of the skull and the helmet which would allow the helmet to fit better. However, the helmet strap could become a problem unless it is removed.

kohlenklau Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 M48 Issue Blender Analysis Report, sah! I see an object named incorrectly. It is the suspect sprocket drive wheel! I CAN rename to fix it but it is asking for other bmp files for optional gear. I need that sent please. @laurent 22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent 22 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 I'm sorry but I couldn't find the requested bmp file in the .brz files in the data folder. Everything about the M48 patton was in the file I sent (for those who have the game it's in "cold war v100d.brz"). The M60 Patton looks like it the running gear is pretty much the same, maybe that helps. Just found that it's exactly the same problem for the M60s: the rear wheel on the same side stays static.

kohlenklau Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Just woke up and brewing the coffee. I will try to go quick into Blender and get the actual file name of this gear bmp file. It is an "option" object that can randomly shown in the game. In the brz folder with CMCW vehicles "MIGHT" be a "vehicles-misc" miscellaneous or "shared texture" folder of a bmp or 2 with camo nets and jerry cans. Maybe. EDIT: it seems to be called "us coldwar gear.bmp"... Edited November 17, 2022 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent 22 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 I think I found it, sorry it was an isolated bmp at the very bottom of the folder list, I hope it's the correct one: bmp download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fm9moelhpuj6c39/us-vehicle-gear.bmp/file 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent 22 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 No. It's an extra folder on the M60s that I hadn't seen in the data folder containing all the brz. So you were missing this folder to work properly. All M60 Pattons (7 tanks) have the exact same problem + the M48A5 Patton (it's the only M48 in the game). The Abrams is ok, and so are the Russian tanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace11 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'm super interested in this... the animation data is definitely there but I have never been able to read it. However I did fix an animation issue with the Bradley TOW box once by completely copying and replacing the tow box data block in a hex editor with the cavalry model TOW box. This means the data is there. The meta data is unintelligible to me though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
