Anger mod release. You should probably start posting this stuff over on SIMHQ Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on April 14, 2012, 06:54:57 AM good idea ;D
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 03, 2012, 03:34:31 AM Okay guys! work on 2.0 will begin sometime within the next week or so. My goal is to include the following;
NATION Jordan PLO VEHICLES M-48 Patton (Israel) Chieftain (Jordan) Centurion with proper sideskirts & no Infrared spotlight (Israel) M3 Halftrack (Israel) MISSIONS -1973 Yom Kippur War (Golan) -1973 Yom Kippur War (Sinai) -1982 Lebanon Invasion -1976 Invasion of Lebanon (Syria) -1970 Syrian Invasion of Jordan (Syria) Credit for vehicles will go to Donken and yl9961027 (hopefully) :) Stay tuned! Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Flashburn on May 03, 2012, 04:57:37 AM Hope they have better luck bringing them in than I have had. :P
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: yl9961027 on May 03, 2012, 05:55:47 PM Credit for vehicles will go to Donken and yl9961027 (hopefully) :) I'd like to do it. ;D Now I'm making two M48--90mm and 105mm. The M3 halftrack has been completed. But you know, all these models have to be re-create the skin. 8)If you are interested to add a IS-3 or T-72, I can provide them. :P Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 03, 2012, 07:55:35 PM T-72's, in my opinion, are alittle bit to ahead of the time. Of course I'll help get them in game, though :) The IS-3 especially would be a great addition to the Egyptians
EDIT: DEAR FLASHBURN, ANY AND ALL EXPERIENCE CONCERNING THE IMPORT OF IN-GAME VEHICLES IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. Hopefully we'll break this game of it's "un-moddable" streak Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: BaalCY117 on May 03, 2012, 10:44:57 PM Wow i cant wait so see the M48 with the M68 gun. It would be like seeing my home in Steel armor :P
and the T72 of course...just seeing the autoloader in action is just...beautiful Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: yl9961027 on May 04, 2012, 03:41:35 AM All of the tanks are not the cockpit. :(
I do not know if they become playable tanks. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Flashburn on May 04, 2012, 03:52:01 AM Well I will be trying to get this bastard in game in the next couple of days....
(http://simhq.com/forum/files/usergals/2012/05/full-28902-33516-f5_teaser_9.jpg) Still have to do the texture but its unwrapped and all ready for it. Want my saladin armored car for mod? I know lebanon had/has them. It is unwrapped, needs texture and LOD's. But other than that its good to go. Well config work of course...... Oh forgot to say..... Andrey appears to be willing to bring in models into game. Obviously everything has to be done with model/lod/defuse map/normal maps etc.. Think that may be a nod to the difficulty getting complex stuff in game to work right. But alot of the configs have lines of code that I have NO idea what they do or mean. That does not help at all. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 04, 2012, 10:40:59 AM It helps alot more than you'd imagine :P I'm not quite yet ready for more vehicles; Feeling alittle overwhelmed as it is :P

All of the tanks are not the cockpit. :( I do not know if they become playable tanks. Actually, we can probably use the cockpit from the M-60 in a sort of "FrankenTank". They don't necessarily have to be playable, but the M60 and M48 cockpits were very similar from what I understand Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: BaalCY117 on May 06, 2012, 07:48:54 PM It depends actually. By the look of it this is the M48A5. If your using the same ballistic computer like the M60A1 where you have to stop and match the two idols into one target then yes its very similar. No need to change anything at all just in the loader position the ready to fire shells are 19 and each row can host 3 shells. 2 APFSDS or APDS and 1 HEAT shell most cases inside to the right so in case of penetration the HEAT wont kill everybody. Behind the loader the racks are only 5. 3 to store only APFSDS or APDS and the other two for back up usually WP. And underneath the main gun there are 5 racks also usually storing HE - HESH. But if your going to use stabilizers to fire on the move then its a complete different matter same thing as before but the electronic ballistic computer its above the older ballistic computer. If you have any questions about the M48 just ask me i will do my best to answer them :P

If you have any questions about the M48 just ask me i will do my best to answer them :P Thanks for the information :) Visually, though, would it be a fatal mistake to use the M60 cockpit as a replacement for the m48 cockpit? We'll change the ammunition around in the scripts so that they're factually correct, however the goal here is to make as many tanks playable as possible. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: BaalCY117 on May 07, 2012, 02:20:38 PM Hmm it wont be a catastrophic failure to use the the M60 cockpit for the M48. But still if you only change the racks behind the loader to 5 it would be ok :P. But you can use the simHQ you may have a chance to get better opinions also from other fellow tankers, this was just my opinion for the ammo racks :P

Look at those beautiful sideskirts ;D Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Flashburn on May 08, 2012, 01:30:10 AM Dumb question here........... Where are the vehicle textures located in config files? That is the entries for paths to textures. For the life of me I can not remember where the heck I have seen them. So far my attempts at bringing in my F5E have resulted in CTD 001 error. POOP! In the off chance it is due to me not setting up the texture path....... But I have been able to get my 3 LOD's and P level into model veiwer. Oddly enough despite no paths to textures my really crappy bumb and defuse maps show up. Not sure how that is possible but eh, whatever.

Oddly enough despite no paths to textures my really crappy bumb and defuse maps show up. Not sure how that is possible but eh, whatever. eh.., like where do you put the textures? or what links them to the model? I believe that's in the techn_mtc80 thing Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Flashburn on May 08, 2012, 01:44:08 AM No entry in techn for texture path......... First time I have attempted to bring in a vehicle model. It is a little different from everything else.
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Flashburn on May 08, 2012, 02:00:20 AM Speaking personally.... untill I see how model is rigged in modeling program and its config files i do beleave I am operating in the dark. One of those understand the theory, cant seem to get it right in practice things. However, a different ball game on simple stuff. That I have down vary well.
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 08, 2012, 02:41:49 AM As much as I appreciate the efforts of the Graviteam dev team, there's kind've a lack of vehicle import stuff. Have you tried "ostovs.config"? I believe it deals with meshes, but its worth a shot
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: BaalCY117 on May 08, 2012, 10:18:24 PM If you guys are still interesting about the T72 i think this video has some good info about the tank if you can understand in russian. I don't either i just watch the movie :P

Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 20, 2012, 05:39:11 AM Thanks! I worked on the UV map alittle more today; still no luck :(
anyways, I re-worked the T-62 skin for Syria and finished the BMP, BTR, and T-55 (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/Syria2.jpg) Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: yl9961027 on May 20, 2012, 04:26:58 PM Nice work!
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Kyth on May 21, 2012, 02:37:50 AM Hmmm
What seems to be your problem with UV mapping? It appears to be a rather straight-forward task, Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 21, 2012, 03:26:49 AM Well, for starters, I have no idea what the hell's going on :( I can unwrap the UV map and get it to a point where I wish to save it,but then my 3ds max starts going haywire and refuses to save it. Normally, when you hit the "save UV" command, a dialogue box appears and you save the UV map wherever you wish to save it. My problem is, once I find the proper spot and hit "save", the dialogue box re-appears as if nothing happened. It refuses to leave, even if you hit cancel. The weird thing is, it's only for THIS model too. I've tried it with a few demo models I got on the internet to do a UV map tutorial, and they manage to save fine.
It's getting to be too much of a headache :( On the other side, I've managed to successfully find pictures of Egyptian and Syrian Infantry soldiers during the 1973 and 1982 campaigns. No word yet on the tanker uniforms though, or the Jordanian ones, though the latter tanker uniforms look just like the Israeli's. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Kyth on May 21, 2012, 05:22:23 AM It might be a compatibility problem, I think they update the version of 3Ds Max every year?
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Flashburn on May 21, 2012, 07:42:37 AM Hmmm are you colapsing the modifier stack? It may be saving the uv's...........I rarely use that. Have you checked the material editor to make sure it updated applied texture? AND screen shots! No idea wtf is going on? Is this one of graviteams models?
They add new features every year but alot of them are questionable or even a step backwards in usefulness. Mainly seems to be a scheme to extort money from big corparate enities. Most game studios are 4 to 5 generations of max behind. But that does not stop anyone from making neato stuff. Then of course small fry regular people generaly are not willing or able to pay the 4 grand for a ligit copy. Stupid scheme in my opinion. I remember having to spend 1200 bucks on a student version once upon a time......freaking retarded. I mean geezzzz to get really good at modeling/texturing it takes a year or 2 of constant work. Then.......maybe you might be employable to some studio assuming your portfolio is good AND you can model/texture at a production level. there I go on a vomit train. Post pics of problem, maybe I can help. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 21, 2012, 08:02:12 PM Step 1: Open 3ds max
(http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds1.jpg) Step 2: Open the model (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds2.jpg) Step 3: Apply texture to the model (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds3.jpg) Step 4: pass go and collect $200 (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds4-1.jpg) (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds5.jpg) Step 5: Unwrap UV map (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds6.jpg) Step 6: Edit UV map (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds7.jpg) Step 7: Hit flatten to save time (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds8.jpg) Step 8: Hit save and die :( (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds9.jpg) Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 22, 2012, 01:12:13 AM Updated IDF Paratrooper uniforms and Egyptian Commandos in combat

Try resizing the 'islands' manually? Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on May 22, 2012, 02:20:54 AM yea, but it makes no difference :( I just flattened it so I could get the screenshots up fairly quickly
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Kyth on May 22, 2012, 02:46:46 AM I suspect the UV-mapping is already done for yl's models. You just need to resize / rearrange the various 'islands' to combine them into one UV-map. And assigning materials to the model has no effect on the UV-mapping, but you could choose one with a checker-board pattern, to see if there's any distortion.
Another thing about the 'flatten' option - you need to do 'reset x-form' before using it, Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Flashburn on May 22, 2012, 04:25:42 AM Flatten totally sucks for complex things. Like Kyth said.........it appears that it was unwrapped allready. You *should* just need to create a texture sheet. If not, your going to have to have to do it your self. Complex model take awhile to properly do. IE, I did a rush job on my F5E and g3a3. I could get away with it there....but if you are to add mega details in.........
But if the sections of model are named.........and it looks like they are, and unwrapped. Then bring each bit in by itself with unwrap....move off somewhere out side the "square".....then colapse the stack. Then hide the bit you did that too. Do that untill all the model bits are done..... Then unhide everything, select everything, and uvw unwrap....edit. Then you just need to arrange everything on one sheet. You will have to decide what needs to be scaled....rotated etc. If you have to do all the unwrapping.........well thats alot harder. Person who makes the model should really do that IMO. They know more about their model then someone else. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Kyth on May 22, 2012, 05:55:07 AM (http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n585/whukid/3ds8.jpg) A bit more about the funny picture :) It looks like the UV map is repeating itself over and over in different sizes. The number of UV coordinates might exceed the available memory, and that could be the reason for the hanging, Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: Donken on May 22, 2012, 01:33:41 PM You should definetely not play around with uv mapping for the whole model like that directly, Do as Kyth and Flashburn says, just move all finished parts instead of redoing everything. And with flatten you do exactly that, you flatten things (making round stuff like a pipe flat) and with that many polys in a model its not that unusual 3dsmax crash for you. If you want to flatten things you need to do it piece by piece. You should only work with the uv mapping as you have showed on the picture in step 6.
EDIT: and why are you trying to save the uvw map as a seperate file? If it wont work just make a copy of the model and save with another name. Its probably alot easier and alot less complicated :D Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: yl9961027 on May 22, 2012, 05:40:26 PM M51 SUPER SHERMAN ;D

the Mujaheddin replaced by a much meaner, leaner enemy. Sporting FN_FAL's and AK-47's, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Perhaps installed wrong?
Kyth, yes I use that command and have a .cmd file for each model I have made. But it does not seem to want to pick up vehicles and complex models. On the smaller stuff, rifles and grenades it does not seem to matter one way or the other as texture path is configured under addins. Big stuff has nothing like this that I have found, it is quite the question for me. But ya the .50 works correct, just the texture issue remains. On my f5 I have my dummies set up all wonky and need to sit down it figure it out. Just time and messing with it till its right. However when I attempted to make a air spotter unit I was unable to call in air support.......another issue. But still have alot of loose ends on my missions and few left on mini mod and they have priority for me right now =) Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on June 07, 2012, 01:33:01 AM Simple installation bug.

Everything was exported to .X file, but I'm not sure if they were all combined into the .Mesh or not; I didn't really check to see what was included in it. (yl9661207 donated the .mesh file that was created from the model.) Ah well, Another attempt will come shortly! Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.50 (Beta2) Post by: whukid on June 14, 2012, 10:18:42 PM Okay guys, 1.76 should be released within the next few days or so, tonight if I can help it. The only things left to do are fix the IDF M60 and Centurion tanks to have more HEAT shells and no SABOT shells, since the IDF favored their HESH rounds over SABOT rounds and add the IDF Armored insignia's to the mix. Hopefully I can figure out how to put all of the IDF armored insignia's separate from the other insignia's. These are a few pictures of what I hope to accomplish by doing so;

Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: whukid on June 28, 2012, 12:20:16 AM So how do you guys like it? The latest version doesn't seem to be as popular for some reason.
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: Panzerfaust on June 28, 2012, 12:54:51 AM I'm kind of holding off on installing any new mods until after the next patch (although I have your IDF Mod 1.75 d/l'ed and ready). I want to see if the turret malfunction in the M60 get addressed because it's a real PITA even with the stock Iran/Iraq campaign.
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: Flashburn on June 28, 2012, 02:02:27 AM I agree!
Dont worry same has happened to me. Major drop in DL's. Patch sometime (probably over a month away)......APOS patch and DLC's released. Its a punch in the face but I hope after next patch........

(100mm Shells do mean things to soft spots) I comment on this headdrive problem in another post. http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=10364.0 It's not the result from any kind of enemy fire direct or indirect whatsoever, it just happens for no reason and from what I can tell only with the M60. I think it's a game bug but since only one person besides myself has reported having this issue also it's hard to say. I really wish there was more feedback from SABoW players who use the M60 to see if it's widespread and if it is a game bug see if andrey12345 can fix it in the next patch. I have some free time this weekend so I'm going to do a 2nd install of SABoW on my HD and only patch up to the Jan Mod and see if the problem is there or if it started with the March Mod. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: whukid on July 08, 2012, 02:15:25 AM Wow! congrats on leaving for Westpoint! My highschool grades sucked bad (I passed by a point and a half) so I'm getting my AA degree at a Community College and going Reserves for the time being so I can get that all done. Then it's off to Active Duty to play with Tanks while using the GI bill to get my Bachelors, and then I'll become an officer and fly helicopters.
That's my wish anyway :) Whukid.. On the israeli mod deal........obviously going to be put on pause for a number of months as you start your for kind a country deal. That happens when?

I leave in January :P I'm taking a break because I need one :) I'll try and see what I can do about the maps of battle zones. I recommend using Google Earth, but that's just me :P They'll be up soon. I need your opinion on the Importing vehicles thing; I don't have any clue how to do 3D stuff, and yl9961027 was in charge of making them. In your opinion, would it just be easier for him to import the vehicles or for me to do all the coding and shit while he does the 3D stuff? I feel like that's the biggest killer in all this; it's really close to impossible to switch modders half way through an import process. I'm not sure though. To Panzerfaust, Does it happen on all your tanks? I'm in a rush at the moment and I can't really go back and read all your posts (my sincerest apologies), but it sounds like a clean install should do the trick. Unfortunately (or Fortunately, I can't figure out which), all my "Head Drive" failures come from getting whacked in the nose. I don't know the inner workings of the game well enough to pinpoint the problem :( Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: Panzerfaust on July 08, 2012, 03:28:00 AM Its really weird, as soon as I exit the deployment screen and go into the game within seconds I get a message a M60 is retreating (usually in my platoon). When I check that tanks damage report the gunner always reports head damage. The last time this happened I immediately went to the outside view of my M60 after deploying to see what was going on around my platoon. As luck would have it my #3 tank reported he was retreating, again I checked the tanks damage report and it was this head damage again. While I was in outside view I witnessed no explosions, like artillery fire, small arms fire, AT or ATGM or enemy tank fire (I wasn't even close to any enemy forces with my platoon). Also I did not pick up any AC on my mini map ??? I'm totally baffled as to what is causing this. When I tried playing from the Iraqi side none of the T-62's report this problem after the deployment phase.
Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: Panzerfaust on July 08, 2012, 03:49:24 PM Man it just gets weirder and weirder :P
I havn't had time to do a fresh duplicate install of SABoW yet (just got a 1981 Honda GL500 Silverwing and I'm putting it back together), so as a quicky last night I deactivated my mods in SABoW so all I have is the 577 update and the unofficial March update running. Went and fired up my already in progress Iran/Iraq campaign, deployed and sure enough one of my M60's was retreating with head damage. Although this time I did noticed a yellow flashing circle over that M60 before I got the retreating message, (man this game really needs a fix to allow you to get to other units where something is happening faster >:( ) Now I did forget to mention this yellow circle before but I didn't know if it was relevant since the head damage happened even if there was no flashing yellow circle, sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't, but the M60 head damage happens always. So just for sh*ts and giggles I deleted my profile and made a new one, figured why not since I was getting no where in the current campaign with this problem >:( Played 4 missions in a restarted Iran/Iraq campaign with my new profile and no M60's have retreated after the deployment phase with head damage ??? So I really don't know what to make of this. I hope to play several more missions tonight to see if this problem rears it's ugly head again. I really hope it doesn't because if it does I'm pretty much finished with SABoW unless I can figure out whats causing this. I pretty much purchased SABoW because of the playable M60 (really wish the Chieftein was playable too). So if the M60 is broken and being I have little interest in the T-62 which is 75% of this sim btw then whats the point. As much as I am a supporter of Graviteam and their products I'm a little disappointed with SABoW and it's heavy slant towards the T-62 as I thought this sim was suppose to feature the M60 and the T-62 equally, they really just should have called it Steel Armor: T-62 :-\ Sorry for the rant.....just really frustrated :( Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: whukid on July 08, 2012, 09:35:27 PM Hopefully we'll make some breakthroughs in playable tanks here within the next few months :)
Are you starting a New Campaign? or is it at a random turn in the middle of it? Damage carries over from previous engagements, just so you know.

Damage carries over from previous engagements, just so you know. Hi whukid, Man that would make my year having some more western armor playable in SABoW. I have nothing personal against the T-62 but for petes sake every campaign gives you the option to man a T-62 while the M60 is only playable in only one campaign? If Graviteam would have at least made the Chieftein/Oliphant playable you would have the choice of using the Chieftein or the M60 in the Iran/Iraq campaign and the Chieftein/Oliphant in the Angola campaign rather then having your choice of a T-62's or..... a T-62's ::) . It's why I haven't even bothered played the Angola campaign. Yes I did know that damage is carried over from one engagement to the next and the damaged vehicle has to move next to a repair unit (if mobile) for a certain amount of turns (1-3?) before damage was repaired. It's one of the things I like about SABoW, no magical fixes between engagements. So knowing this the the only units I deployed into combat were either fresh or undamaged, damaged vehicles are pulled and sent to the rear for repair. Because SABoW has no way (that I know of) to jump directly to a platoon or unit under attack it was a crap shoot trying to figure out what was happening with this head damage. I did get lucky that one time (talked about earlier) and seen that there was no enemy fire causing this damage, it just happened. Cheers Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: Panzerfaust on July 09, 2012, 02:36:34 AM Hopefully we'll make some breakthroughs in playable tanks here within the next few months :) Are you starting a New Campaign? or is it at a random turn in the middle of it?

I'm not quite sure why, but I get a 001 CTD at 46% everytime I attempt to load a mission Sounds familiar......... Try it with just 2 vehicles that use them and see if it crashes out. Probably totally different issue than the one I have with unable to load up more than 2 custom vehicles at time without a crash. YA, no idea on that one................

I'm not quite sure why, but I get a 001 CTD at 46% everytime I attempt to load a mission Thinking back to my remote modding past (2 years ago). The markings dds textures are assigned to their own .go files, in Steel Fury. You might need to set up a 'mesh' file that uses your new insignia sheet as a texture. Or, if there's enough space in there, you could try squeezing in your new markings to the existing 'marks0' dds file.

I think I need to reinstall my Steel Armor game! Have two questions, hope you can help.
- Are other tanks crewable apart from the T62 and M60? Will love to man a T55 and specially my Missle East Favourite, the M51 Super Sherman. - What maps are you using to the IDF mod? Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: johncage on September 09, 2012, 10:06:58 AM about the model conversion, are you sure you saved the name correctly? it should be modelnamel0.x, l1.x, l2.x, l3, not 10.x, 11.x, etc.
if you want, you can send them to me, i can look at them for you and diagnose the issue/convert them into mesh.

Will love to man a T55 and specially my Missle East Favourite, the M51 Super Sherman. - What maps are you using to the IDF mod? - Nope, unfortunately. Flashburn seems to be gaining ground in this area though, so maybe soon. The problem is that I don't have any experience doing 3d modelling, and having other people do it for you is.. cheap, not to mention chaotic. - I personally suggest using Susanguard and Margda. The Africa maps MIGHT be workable if you have a decent imagination, but I think that the aforementioned maps work best to johncage, I can if you want, but I'm still working on getting the markings into the game. It seems rather determined to have no new insignia's.. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: johncage on September 09, 2012, 09:33:23 PM sure, are you using 3ds max? send the problematic model over in max format and i'll try and find the problem

Whukid. I should be able to help on the centurian, but the others I will not be able. :-\ BUT send me data on the IDF cent! Photos and the like and what year shoudl this thing look like?

Not a clue if this will crash out sabow........yet. :P but got the LOD0 and LOD1 where they *should* work in sabow. But there are 6 to many chunks in lod1......well thats what the message says. However, they are lil stuff that can be merged. They way the model was rigged there was no way it would work in sabow. But maybe k42? Did someone do that? Also changed the texture color........ya one of my 2 second texture deals. Oh I had to rename ALOT as well as modify config stuff. Probably will crash 1st time out. but eh, pretty good for a couple hours. Now I go sleepy. :P Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: whukid on October 04, 2012, 05:58:56 PM Thanks very much! I pm'd you all the stuff you asked for. I hope it helps!
In other news, The M2HB and MG4 aren't useable for the player, only the AI. Replacing the frustratingly slow M73 and M85 with them doesn't work. I'm going to try and fix the RoF and replace the M85's sound with the M2HB's, and The M73 with the MG4 Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 Post by: whukid on October 04, 2012, 07:52:11 PM Success!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm out of solutions for the new insignias, short of overwriting the old Iranian ones. hmmmmmmmmmm. there HAS to be a way to create a new sheet and bring them in. That sounds like an Andrey question. I have failed on all fronts on marking with the little time I have given it. I still think merging or at least making our stuff compatible would be a good idea. :-\ Also I may drop current direction i have been going (improvements to various factions and now focus on middle east stuff). i have the beginnings of an amx13 light tank.....ya it sucks. 2 day rainy weekend project, BUT it is built to scale so fixing it to be less suck would be somewhat fast. That and I made its off shoot VCI apc/ifv. Ya it sucks too but in the same boat. Just ideas for future stuff.

Open in your texture software of choice, and make the texture greyscale, the brighter areas are thicker armor, use the rgb values, rgb value 100 is 100mm armor for example. all tiny small stuff that doesnt need an armor value, make them black, the rest like all sides of the hull, turret, toolboxes etc you add the correct value to. Its easy peasy :D

Open in your texture software of choice, and make the texture greyscale, the brighter areas are thicker armor, use the rgb values, rgb value 100 is 100mm armor for example. all tiny small stuff that doesnt need an armor value, make them black, the rest like all sides of the hull, turret, toolboxes etc you add the correct value to. Its easy peasy :D Yes it is easy........ Which is why i am attempting to get someone to step up. I have 4 yes 4 projects in progress. All are complex :D Al lil math is the hardest problem. That shouldn't be a big problem. If you could provide the UV map, I could work something out :) LOL you gave it to me! muahahah You have it.... just needs to 256 x 256. Just message me. :P ;) Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released.

I have fixed, broken stuff, and fixed again the mesh. truelly do not know. :-\
Worst case I can do something with the lod I have in game now. But DONT want to do that unless I have too. Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released.

I simply can not figure out what is wrong with lod 1. But something is massively wrong with mesh/rigging when exported. But working on this and m113's. When one pisses me off, I go to the other until I cool down. :P

Today, THANK GAWD I am meeting more success than yesterday on this. Still problems of course........note tracks. Yl's armored skirts are removed from mesh while I figure this one out. But the model has been cleaned of South Africian Oliphant bits and will start adding in IDF Sho't bits.

also, how did you set up the material? any special texture directory or is that done automatically in the engine? Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released.

Jeez Flashburn, this is awesome. where did you learn how to do 3d modelling, anyway? THis pure graviteam here. Have done NOTHING in this screen other than remove stuff and changed tint of texture. Photoshop and all that, school way back. 3dmax classes I had SUCKED circa 2002. LEarned next to nothing useful. That and I was busy "clubbing". :P :-[ Put little time into skills other than PS and this rather nice mod I did of OFP. Alas my puter at the time finally bit the dust in a massive blue spark of death. NO JOKE on that. Lost nearly everything. When I got back from Army stuff, and got my shit together, I marched my happy ass into a refresher 3d max course. Then been simply working on improving skills whereever I can the past couple years.

I'll but that on the to do list. But way to much on the plate. Can not put more on it yet. What are you trying to get in? Best to start small like a static mg or something. WAY WAY WAY WAY easier to learn basics of sabow/apos. Mirror? the model? NO! Oh are you doing the cut in half method? than YES. :P Just get your hull done however you can. Weld it together, optimize the bugger. Wheels I rig up at the beginning of bringing it in. Expect issues!. If tracked probably have tracks all crazy. If wheeled probably turn like poop. The first step is just export your model into the sabow model viewer. Hell does not even have to be rigged. Just look for totally messed up stuff. MOST of the time if it shows up in sabow/apos model viewer correct than issues of crashing out and the like are due to config or dummys in wrong place in model or simply missing. It will crash out most of the time if an s_bit (dummy) is in config but NOT in model. Some things you can get away with at first like s_loader_exit stuff. Does not crash, but often crew are ejected OUT of the vehicle when they bail. It can me quite funny. ;) For most vehicles and stuff texures are assigned by using the texture swap utility. Make sure model is unwrapped with a texture sheet (duh), run X to go. THEN RUN the text swap on it. If you dont it will be black most of the time. Then laod all that into a mod structure or whatever....so long as sabow picks it up and run model viewer or start the game and see whats up.

i still have a suspicion that it has to do with xyz orientation, that's why it's benefical to see how the model is actually in the scene. no hurry though, i understand you have a lot of projects.

edit: i'll try again. y forward and z up right? edit again: actually it seems panda exporter is missing an option to flip the model 90 degrees so y is up. that's probably why the damn thing's pointing down or flipped on its belly Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released.

I see the same result as the guy posted this http://imgur.com/gUMmHR1 in the neighbour thread. I use Russian version. Not sure how Whu set up his mod. My old mini mod....(people still are using that thing?) also had a Russian version. That one MAY resolve that. Maybe? Unknown really. If he modded the mini mod...Which I do not know. I do not think he did. http://www.mediafire.com/download/90qjiegvc6hn6vn/FlashBurn_minimod_v1.5_and_missions_RUS.zip RUssian mini mod and some missions. http://www.mediafire.com/download/x0byc32nqrqc4m3/FlashBurn_minimod_v1.5_and_missions_GER.zip German MAYBE works? LOL never could get any one with German version to say or not. http://www.mediafire.com/download/7v2k11bkil29shf/FlashBurn_minimod_v1.5_and_missions_....zip and english Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released) Post by: smb on August 06, 2013, 03:41:09 AM Thank you, now gunsights work correctly but when I try to start Opertation Safari it pops up with error 011: i_human:hum_49084221 no unit description

Thanks so much for keeping up with the questions and stuff while I was gone. In case you all were wondering, I was meritoriously promoted to PFC for outshooting the Company and taking first in Knowledge for my platoon ;D.
It'll be about 10 months or so before I'm in a position to mod again, though. First MCT for 29 days, then whatever MOS school they send me too. The bastards promised they'd tell us the day after we finished the Crucible, but they only handed us our orders to report to Camp Geiger. (SO PISSED.) I believe Tank School is a 9 month course, and I'm praying to every god known to man that I get assigned to it, so we'll see what happens. I still probably won't have very much time to mod. If I get like Air Traffic Controller or some stupid shit like that or Anti-Air Defense, I'll get to make all sorts of mods. Hopefully that won't happen though, because I still love dem Abrams' :) Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released) Post by: Flashburn on August 06, 2013, 11:48:00 AM Someone should send Flashburn a hooker.

I was not going to say a peep about it, but since you have internet access.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img21/5107/m575.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/m575.jpg/) Fits your IDF mod.... M38a1 jeep. And the m38a1c is planned as well. Will it make it into sabow? Don't know. But I am going to try. I want another go through the campaigns BUT I want something new to do in them as well. :D Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released) Post by: whukid on August 07, 2013, 01:42:03 AM Lolol doesn't surprise me.
That jeep looks badass. You might want to consider porting the skins I made over to GTOS and using them to make an IDF mod there. It might work alittle better Title: Re: Israeli Defense Force Mod Version 1.75 (1.76 patch released) Post by: Flashburn on August 07, 2013, 01:49:07 AM Thank you, now gunsights work correctly but when I try to start Opertation Safari it pops up with error 011: i_human:hum_49084221 no unit description OH crap ya I know the problem with this.
