You could always port SF assets into SABoW

Are you volunteering?

Hi! Guys!
I need your help! I was making some vehicles mods on the Western front. For me, the most difficult to produce these vehicles script. My information is very scarce. If someone can help me to write the script, which will speed up the mod of progress. I need the script for the following weapons ( Including shells script ).
US:
1. 37mm, 57mm, 75mm, 90mm AT GUN.
2. 75mm, 105mm howitzer
3. M2 Browning
UK:
1. 17pdr AT

Thanks!

Thanks!

If the person doing this could be so kind, can they also add a 4x Tiger (late) and 3x Panther A without Infantry?

Many thanks

I may try with UK:
1. 17pdr AT



BTW
Should we create an additional side, i.e. British? In fact, it's already exists, but only for one airplane. And more important, there should be a soldiers in british/usa uniform. At this moment we've only usa tankmen.

ps
Interesting vehicle: sas 4x4 desert rider

Really want that kit, but my stash is a bit big at the moment.

Suppose, it's interesting info:

This is a new ATGUN:57mm M1. But I having a little trouble.
   

Who knows what's wrong?

[Donken]

Have you tried to change point of mass?

   //points (of mass * distance from center of gravity) ?
   jx   =   40000;
   jy   =   40000;
   jz   =   20000;

Play around with those numbers and see what happens

[frinik]

Here are the figures for the Flak 88 mm AT gun which looks similar:

              jx   =   4700;
   jy   =   5500;
   jz   =   5700;

You may wnat to try thme for yoru AT57 which looks very nice by the way!

Thank you for your help.
I tried to change point of mass. But I have failed. It's nothing has happened.

Hi,

If you're using 3DSMax, try using the 'Reset XForms' option, before exporting,

[Donken]

Or maybe try to move the model in 3dsmax forward or backward, so you move s_root. because s_root is at 0,0,0 coordinates and in the .go file s_root is also in the same coordinates. So if you move the gun forward the point of mass should be further back at the gun.

I know.  Had the same problem with new Pak 40, ZIS 3 and ZIS 2 models. You have to change center of mass for db_hull. In 3D Studio look where the pivot point of db_hull is located and move it backward. I recommend to do the same for the barrel (db_gun) too.

The other possibility is that the object is rotated on its pivot point. Have you tried to Reset Xform?

[yl9961027]

I have already tried that, and do not work.

I uploaded the files: http://www.4shared.com/zip/dOAZ-2mC/57mm_AT.html

I hope someone can help me to check the file.

Did you by any chance not changed pivot orientation for "legs" in object editor? That must be done. Check other guns and their leg pivots. It's easy but somewhat tricky. I'll write about it later if you don't know how to do it.

It is true! My legs pivot different from other guns! But how to adjust it? I revolved the pivot in the 3dmax. But when I entered model into the object editor, the pivot was restored.

Some new units.
