Model request.... kind of??

[Maximum Bob]

Hi guys

 

I have a bit of a strange request: Say I want to replace an ingame model with another 3d model... except the new 3d model would be blank/invisible/nothing. How easy would this be to do considering I have no knowledge of Lomac modding??

 

Basically what I'm trying to do is replace a ground vehicle (hummer for e.g.) with a blank object, so that an external camera could snap to it... but it wouldn't be visible. Not sure if that makes any sense :huh:

 

Any ideas?

First you can try to simply delete the model file instead of replacing it with a blank one.

 

If you want to use Hummer to this job find the file hummer.lom in the Lock On\Bazar\World\Shapes folder and remove it (or better rename to hummer.lom.bak or something)

Lock On can work even if you delete all models, meshes and texture (leaving only menu's)

 

 

And only if it won't work:

IIRC inside Walmis weapons pack there is a blank 3D model used as a distant LOD.

 

The file is called r77-LOD-0.LOM and you can find it in the Lock On\Bazar\World\Shapes folder after installing the mod. Simply copy & rename it to the name of the model you want to replace.

For a minute I thought this might be a ploy to go invisible online :P

 

But that wouldn't work so it can't be that

Cheers everyone. I'll give that blank model trick a try later on today Some1 :thumbup:

 

And yeah, I'm making a Lomac movie and think I could get some good panning shots if I lock the camera to a moving object... I just don't want the object to show up in the film (being invisible online may be a good trick though :))

A trick like this was used in a LockOn movie where a F117 had some fictional cloaking system.

 

I think Maximum Bob wants a camera on rails but without the... humvee ;)
