I don't know why but I can't make cylinders. No mather which values i gave to it, only a line appears.

chenge segment rad.

Does anyone know if it's possible to add new particle effects without having to include new dta files? It'd be useful to know...

yes youcan, but at least you have to create new fire and smoke textures...

How do i merge 2 paa file's together? Ive got a body armour reskin saved on one PAA and i want to use the body armour not the trousers and shirt and put it onto another PAA. I dont know if i explained it right. For example ive gotta black bodyarmour which i want to replace with the BIS body armour for my custum units.

[catito14]

Hi, how can I do to put to an object created by me the same material that has the rest of the uniform?

I have the .RVMAT of the uniform, but it dont know how to do in order that the object (in this case a hood) has the same material.

Thanks

If I understood you correctly, you are going to look at this!

Ive made my units how do i create a replacment pack?

Right now i am kind abshing a couple things to gether for the learning process. I am using a model from VTE and i have been working off of Mechastalins BMD config. The problem i am having is i cannot get the damn turret to turn!!! I have my config skeleton there. I beleive i have it coded right. could ombody please take a look at this code.

PS MODs if i have posted this in the wrong place please move.

OK I'm using blender and created a simple model, used 3DS converter to convert the blend file to 3ds format. the file extension was "obj.blend.3ds" however when i tried to import it into oxygen using import 3ds it said gave an error message saying "Missing KFDATA"?? I also tried removing the blend. suffix and the file name was obj.3ds and it still didnt work? what is the problem? Anybody who uses blender can help a noob out please

[sgt.Artmann]

how can I open texture,
i have texview but i dont know how to change format of the textures (i dont know if ''format'' is english or if i have created the word )

[Rellikki]

Open the texture with Texview and from 'Save as...' change the bottom setting to 'All Files (*.*)' and save the texture in TGA format by typing '.tga' at the end of the file name. Note that you may only save it in TGA and PAA / PAC format.

[Blackbuck]

You could also use kegety's plug-in to open them in Photoshop directly .

Ok I have another problem how do I repack the config.bin folders after unpacking and editing them? Do i need a special program? Please help

[Eddie]

I am working on the M163 vulcan. I have retextured it and added a Missile pod (ala Israeli Version).


The problem i am having is even though its attached to the turret my missile pod does not rotate with the turret


How do i attache it to the turret to make them rotate together?

to have a turret working (rotating, firing and all the stuff) you have, once declared in the model the selections, to create the model.cfg file in which you define the new selections too.
if you don't the engine will not recognize the new parts and will dismiss them

found the problem i had ro select the new parts as well as the turret selection and redefine them

How to create e.g. barrel of weapon? How to create a non boxed/triangled/circles things? I mean how to put faces there where you click. I had tutorial for that, but I have lost it and... on Scott Tunstall its LOST, too! Please, help

[Eddie]

Yes its me again still bashing together my little box of BIS models.

I want to know how to move the point where my Missile initializes? How do i identify this point? does it have a name?

[JdB]

Colonel Klink has a tutorial on how to make a missile battery for OFP on [his website]. I think that should get you started, since I have a feeling the core selections haven't changed much.
