Molotov Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 why was this halftrack omitted and the puma was n't? It would be so fun to have a quick mobile 75 mm gun to flank the enemy with. is it possible to mod this in the game???? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov Posted April 8, 2001 Author Share Posted April 8, 2001 but why did they add the puma? only a few of those were made. is it possible to add this vehicle to the game??????/ :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 Nope there is absolutely NO way you could add vehicules to the game engine since they are hard coded. No matter how much MODing you'd apply to them the physics of the game is always the same. See DesertFoxDesertRat total conversion to that effect. Or as my GrandMa would say: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>If you cut the tail off a hyena it's still a hyena...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 Molotov, The Puma is in because it was one of the very first vehicles BTS made. Later on in the design process time became more of a factor and priorities had to be made. Thus some vehicles that would have been just as qualified as the Puma, by numbers deployed, was left out. Among those the 234/4. And that particular one would no doubt have been found pretty far down the list in any event. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted April 8, 2001 Author Share Posted April 8, 2001 What did the desert mod guys do to mod the Italian vehicles? im too lazy to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 They play with camo scheme and transparancy to tweak some vehicule so that they look a bit different. The Stug for the Samovente for example. But that's just shortening the length of a gun which quite different from taking a Wasp and making it look like a Side car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted April 8, 2001 Author Share Posted April 8, 2001 BTS can you guys put a vehicle editor in CM 2 to make vehicles that wen't included in the final game or just to play around with. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 My best bet is that they won't. New vehicules aren't just skins or MODs as in the Quake community for example. The actual mesh upon which the BMPs are mapped is in fact also modelling the physics and dynamics of said vehicules. What good would it be to have a Brummbar modelled by X with Hi and Lo in quality if for the CM engine it's as good as a tree? What makes FPS ripe for conversion is that the ACTUAL engine is open to changes, not just the graphics. And as it has been said and again, it is not likely to happen...
