FNG_DRx Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 (edited) i am wondering if someone might be so kind as to make an m35 truck that players (or tangos) can shoot from. Ive been told that this is as simple as changing 'seat' labels to 'shotgun' labels, or something like that, with 3dmax or even a hex editor, which i have neither. Nothing fancy, just the normal M35 truck (seats 7 plus driver) that players can fire from the bed. Possible? any takers?

harntrox Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Its in HX5 The covered m35 truck will allow 4 players in the bed to fire 2 more players in the front seats can shoot out the glass you can play the mission Hammer Claw to check it out. you can even drop off one of your squads out of the back of the truck if you change ROE while its driving to the objective. read briefing theres more controls ... but no driving ! this M35 works in single-player only only vehicles tagged as tanks can be hacked to work with player crews online like the motorcycle in hx5 i will send ya the max file if you want to make your own, or just write missions for hx5. i dont have time to support any projects rite now \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNG_DRx Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 right on harn, u rock i recently got 3Dsmax4 but dont know how to use it, so i DL'd the 3DsMax bible...its like 400 pages lol so i need to read a novel first a question about tracked vehicles (er..tagged as tanks): this seems strange to me seeing as no actors can ride in any tracked vehicles, does this mean that, for example, the DS pickup, jungle jeep, and river boat (all of witch can be fired from) also have this 'tracked vehicle' designation?

GR_Modder Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 this M35 works in single-player only only vehicles tagged as tanks can be hacked to work with player crews online like the motorcycle in hx5 I've never played HX5, but I do know That I put the player platoon in truck for a Extraction ride, and works great in Co-op. Pretty cool actually. Not sure what your talking about there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harntrox Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 (edited) you must differentiate btw single and multi player online single player doesnt really matter (like prev post sez) it works, but you cant fire from the Type1 vehicles (truck,jeep) multiplayer online secret if you've got any model (truck, jeep, boat, helo, motorcycle) you can add the tracks and tank suspension (optional turret) tagging in max. make dummy geometry like invisible cubes as placeholders for the tracks so you cant see them for vehicles that have wheels. add all 9 player seats as ^shotgun. 1 additional seat can be ^seat and an AI driver can sit there (so you got an AI guy driving and 9 players on online coop crewed vehicle) like the blackhawk and ch53 in hx5. the hind can only hold 6 players, 2 are pilots. in the .vcl file, it must be Type 2 to reference the tank tracks you put in. now you can hold a crew of players online! 2 minor problems : the wheels wont turn, and you may get a tank sound when driving. you can script around this in igor if you replace the tank sound, or play a really loud sound of the desired vehicle on top. all of this has numerous working examples in HX5. the modding toolkit also shows off missions and theres docs on advanced scripting with player-crewed vehicles in online coop missions. oh yea, you only need to cover the 1st 80 pages of Max bible, up until the texturing part starts to give you headache. like El Oso sez -- bring plenty o' aspirin ) Edited August 20, 2004 by harntrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
