fabianfred Wrote:your NAAFI wagon replaces the US Bus...how can we get it as an extra?

I just made a new folder -



#:\'46\Mods\BuildingsTextures\3do\Buildings\VehicleExtras\Bus_NAAFI

Copied 3 versions of the Bus folder from "#\'46\Mods\CarsTextures\3do\Cars\Bus"

Add these lines to "static.ini"

static.ini Wrote:// ++++++++++++++++++++Extra Vehicles +++++++++++++++++++

Rename the copied folders as per the name in static.ini

Now you can use any skin version with the original folder in CarsTextures

Beauty is you can have as many variants as you like now.


For switching skins of moving vehicles you may prefer this way as it would be a simpler way of switching scenery etc. for different campaigns and theatres (small .bat file).-

Change the skin name in the .mat file and have any desired skin variant in the folder.

CKY_86 Wrote:Nice thread

A few ideas from me:

1. The new troop objects, could they be cloned a few times with different heights added to them, this could also be applied to other objects such as flak (flak towers ).

2. The destroyed model of static aircraft, is it possible the models could be copied or cloned & added to the objects list?

That's all I can think of at the mo :lol:, but I hope it lights a few bulbs

1. you should be able to do this yourself quite easily....just cut and paste in the static.ini file

2. not sure if stationary aircraft/objects can be imported into the Objects menu



this is done just with this...

fabianfred, I bow down to you. I had no idea it was that easy to raise & lower the height of an object. Thank you so much mate

LOL wish they were real

Someone like NC who did the ship pack may have info on how to do the moving Objects, but probably best to wait till a batch of skins is ready.

Theyre in the "Textures for skinners "DL.

economy skins with these obj. don't expect too much.

Mods\BuildingsTextures\3do\Buildings\Airdrome\BarrelBlock1 - for .mat etc

\Mods\BuildingsTextures\3do\Buildings\Airdrome\Textures -for skin

RE: Windmills and alphas - Fisneaky - 02.05.2008

Well, this ones not possible due to the model ,except for a "Composite" maybe as a "prop" (as in properties) for movies.

Checking the settings for Alpha channels in the .mat. some background objects disappear others don't.

Could do with a reference section for the .mat files once things are known for sure.

Heres what I've observed so far:- If you know more please pitch in.

Quote:[General]
tfDoubleSide 1 // none observed
tfShouldSort 1 //applies shadow from mat
[Layer0]
tfBlend 1 // 0= no alpha
tfNoWriteZ 1 //transparent to background ob
tfDepthOffset 0
tfTranspBorder 0
tfTestZEqual 0 //1 makes invisible - shadow only

Neat stuff you and fabianfred are doing, fusneaky!

@ff, so by changing the numbers on the AdHeightLive and AddHeightDead lines I can build an honest to god flak tower? I'll try that tonight!

The animated windmill is great 'sneaky... You know, if the 'blades' were solid and spinning it would still look the snizzel

You're a real guru with this stuff dude

---

- Fisneaky - 02.05.2008

Thx, can't animate the windmill as a single object but if I can find a suitable building and figure the alpha settings to "dissapear" the blades without affecting background it could be a runner.
