US style steel pot is on the to do list.  But the G3a3 I am working on right now is more sexy.   Tongue  finishing the endless m2.50 cal project is next after that.  then theres also the playable m113a1 that is stalled due the endless m2 50cal project.........AND the saladin armored car that needs a texture/LODs/and brought into game.  This all assumes I figure out WTF is causing issues with the M2.  Ya, somewhere in there I would like to do a steel pot.  OH ya, then theres the update to dystopia mission in there somewhere as well.  Ugh, and all the referances I have for an F5 tiger2.  Somehow I will get this all done and make a few more missions.  Grin  Hopefully it does not take forever.

Unless something stupid happens, G3 will be done on my end in a couple days if not sooner.  But its going to get packaged in with other tweeks and fixes of my mini mod.  Hopefully next weekend.   Grin.  Wanted to package with my M2HB but UGH, that has been nothing but problems.  Unable to get it in game without major issues showing up.  But it kills stuff and breaks things........just looks stupid doing it.   

Oh, and its only for Iran as they where the only historical user of it in sabow.   Cry 


Heres a post about my wierdo projects......... http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3522122/SABOW_FlashBurns_crazy_wierd_p.html#Post3522122

Galil didnt exsist in 73  Tongue  That war was probably why it was created.  Well actually a modified Finish 62 rifle, itself a redesigned (and better) ak47/akm.   Before that war......Isreal dependent on foreign suppliers for the most part.........10 years later.  Every major weapon system some domestic produced version or type.

Well I'm wrapping up the G3a3 here in a day or so.  I may just do this.  Be a few days before I start however.  Need to finish texture for the endless messed up M2HB.  But that should not take longer than 2 to 3 hours as it is pretty much done.   Tongue

LOL.....  You mean the number of polygons?  Well yes.  Easier to get the basic form down, then make it look good.  I beleave this was around 270 triangles.   The old soviet style in game is like 1300 triangles (a bit high in my view, but it looks good  Tongue) for 1st LOD.  Going to see if I can get it to look good and be around 1000 triangles.  That should not be an issue as I do not plan on doing the chin strap.  Many reasons for this.  1.  this sytle helmet strapped to a soldiers head when an explosive  goes off near can cause injury or death (well thats the old wisdom on it).  2.  less triangles!   Cheesy  3. Seems like next to no one ever used the chin strap in combat.  Hard to find a picture from any war during combat with anyone using the thing.  4.  It was good enough for John Wayne.

Needs to be more of a 'hemisphere' in shape. The front lip needs to stick out further.

If we had an M60 and a  M16   M16/M14 we could have NATO in the game. Grin
Oh yeah the helmet....
Seriously the Israeli and Iranian helmets I saw in pictures had netting so I guess that is taken care of in texture-right? Can't argue with Kyth's observations here and at SimHQ.

Take a breather. You done a lot.

Still need to finish helmet.  It is missing a decent texture and lod's.  But have only put 3 or 4 hours into is so far.  2 hours for model, 1 for really bad defuse/normal/spec maps and the rest on config.  Just not looking forward to getting the helmet to sit on the head properly.  UGH.  That is going to be a pain.  Lol, I might but that off and start my f5 tiger 2 model instead of that painful process of getting the helmet in the right spot.   Tongue
