Author	Topic: New ground target, Stuka undergoing replen/refuel
Nat Pilot	posted 07-17- 09:30 PM Here you go guys, the first of the targets I'm going to knock out over the next week or so, everything in the pic is part of the object, trucks, a/c and lil guys (no, they don't run.. lol) I think this one could be a cool target for online missions, stukas replening as allies attack, axis scramble to defend them.. anyway, thats upto you mission maverics out there here's a lil pic, you can d/l it from my Ground Units section. ~Nat~ ------------------ JV44 "Naturlich" If you can't out run em.. <B>OUT GUN EM!</B> <B>Nats FS-SDOE Site</B> IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 07-18- 01:35 AM Nat, this is one of the neatest ideas Ive seen in a long time IP: Logged
CrossbowArcher Pilot	posted 07-18- 04:27 AM cool... Can those ground crew be made separate objects? I'd like to strafe a infantry platoon IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 07-18- 07:58 AM As always, GREAT work Nat. I noticed that everything is generic enough that you could replace the Stuka with an Allied a/c and the Axis would have a target too.... Hey TS you were thinking of working on a new mission editor.... Make sure we have an easy way of finding this stuff ------------------ Snickers =FC= IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 07-18- 08:35 AM i had this idea months ago but could never figure out where i needed to start. My idea was almost the same but i also wanted to add downed aircraft to perform rescue missions online. I had a kick ares idea of a downed zero and i was going to use a palm tree from the island terrain to make it look like it had crashed and hit the tree. I was going to have it laying at an angle and have the tree sort of on a mound and have the wing broke and hanging down one side and the engine smoking. Nat if you could do something like that i would really love to see it. With all my other projects i really can't do it. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Laika 801 Pilot	posted 07-18- 10:27 AM Fine ! A bit to detailed for a ground object ? Strange - those guys got green heads (or is it my monitor) LK IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 07-18- 12:13 PM LOL Laika.. yes they have green heads.. thing is, for some reason after I altered the JapGunner sm's shape to a standing guy, the face texture just vanished, tried remapping it, but it just wouldn't show up ::shrug:: but hey, you wont notice it at 250mph.. lol Razer, I could do that kinda thing, but what I'm not very good at is stripping out an aircraft sm file to only leave the shape, if anyone has an aircraft with no properties then I could really use it. Right now I only have that one ground crew guy, but he can be put in any position just by moving the arms and legs in Max.. so I was thinking, you could actually have him firing thos snall AA MG's that were mounted on a pole, or even holding a small arm and firing at aircraft, thing is, I wasn't sure if it'd be worth creating a guy like that... but maybe a squad in open formation.. strafing them could be a fun target.. lol IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 07-18- 12:36 PM Nat, what if i exported all the parts for you and sent you one LOD that had all the plane in it. you could just import that LOD and you'll get the plane. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 07-18- 12:37 PM Hi Snickers, I have a mission editor started in DHTML for internet explorer not sure if I will have time to finish it... IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 07-18- 12:39 PM Or what about making the top from the waist up a turret and give them a machine gun. then they could shoot at you when you get close. kind of like the golden BB. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 07-18- 12:44 PM Razer thats exactly what I need, just a single LOD of the aircraft body with no properties, if I want to have it crashed and bust up I can do that from a single a/c LOD ) IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 07-18- 01:46 PM Well i guess the only question now is, what do you want to crash? ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 07-18- 03:38 PM ok, lets return this one..... lol I'm only making what you guys want.. lol, so pick one you'd like to see and I'll make the crash/rescue unit around it.. might be better for this type of object for it to be a bomber I think, but hey, whichever you'd prefere.

ArgonV Pilot	posted 07-18- 04:04 PM I want to see this IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 07-19- 01:25 AM That is very cool. This is a great idea Nat, little dioramas (sp?). Very cool. Just be sure to use low poly models minus the interiors. These could become big framerate hogs. But done with that in mind this opens up an entire new area for SDOE. I really like it. If I wasn't so busy right now I'd already have started one. Well actually I kinda did, I was gonna make my V-2 site have little guys moving around like they are getting ready to launch one (and then with that moving DOF thing it would launch). The men move around also using DOFs but I just got busy with things to finish it. I will eventually. [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 07-19-2000).] IP: Logged
Kraftwerk Pilot	posted 07-19- 02:21 AM Hey! It's the good old Monogram 1:48 B-17 G! Man, that would be cool to have wrecks and bits and pieces lying around. Great work! IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 07-19- 02:31 AM Yup it is. It's not my model however (Mine is hanging from the ceiling and its the F version) I just thought the pic looked kewl so I posted it for Nat. I hope he will do something like that. IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 07-19- 02:48 AM the lil guys I've used aren't a problem, they are just the pilot sm guys with the body parts pushed around Going into the wrecks, I agree, I just want a basic outer model, don't even need glass, it can be textured same as the stuka's onboard the Scharnhorst (I know it shouldn't have that type.. but thats all I had.. lol) Yeah, sumthin like that B17 there is exactly what I have in mind IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 07-19- 12:18 PM Nat, i could also include damage LODs for wings and stuff. I need to know what plane to do first before i start editing. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 07-19- 01:07 PM tha'd be very cool Razer.. ok, lets do a B17 huh, what do you reckon? IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 07-19- 02:01 PM Nat, sounds like a very good Idea, Diaromas, MAN THAT WOULD BE COOL!!! IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 07-19- 03:38 PM Hey, Argon, that's Sheperd Paines model, I think. In case you don't know, Shep Paine is prolly the world's most famous modeller. IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 07-19- 05:11 PM Yup I know who he is. He does great work! IP: Logged
Kraftwerk Pilot	posted 07-20- 03:52 AM I've seen that pic before.. It was in booklet that came with the Monogram B-17G model. Remember I used to sit up late drooling at them and saying that my model wouldn't look any worse than that one. And this was before the days when I learned to paint my models. IP: Logged
