New A-10 model..

[MAFIA]

Do anyone know how can i modify only specific lines in Meinit.xml externally?..(i meant with a .bat file or something.. not manually)

All i want to do is to change pylon locations of A-10 while not touching anything else..

I think its important for lots of other mods and compatibility.

(TER-LAU-86 received..Thanks Mustang)

 

Open MeInit.xml with NotePad find "A-10A" go down in file and there will be pylons and their coordinates.

 

By the way new A-10A model will have new UWM mapping or you will make like Walmis, that we could put on new model old textures.

2 MAFIA ты не понял вопроса. Он хочет создать подобие патча для meinit.xml . Чтобы избавить людей от необходимости копаться в нем вручную.

[Yeniceri]

Talk to Walmis :)

 

where is he?!..not here thats for sure..

[SuperKungFu]

yea i think walmis is no longer around here anymore, thats a shame. maybe teketeka might know?

2 things I want to point out really fast: The LAU launcher on the pilots left is off-center (first pic), and what looks to be textures on the nacelles that are distorted somehow and showing a white background.

 

 

Edit: I just noticed that its a raised portion on the nacelles for the lettering.

 

i must have massed it up while try'n to make a bat file lately..

fixed it..Thanx for the eye ;)

The only thing I got was meinit.xml :P. I know it wasn't 4 me....I know.

It's just curious to me that those chars have a meaning

Yenicery... I use small exe called CHANGE.EXE to edit text files

 

for example I have lockon.bat with line

CHANGE Config\graphics.cfg "aspect = 1.333333373;" "aspect = 1.6;"

to correct this aspect ratio if I change some settings within game... I'd make the changes then exit the game, next time I start lockon this bat file will change this line for me...

I can make a guess here..

 

GYS71 says

" Mafia, you got it all wrong dude..He was talking about changing the meinit.xml lines externally.. i mean from outside..Of course he knows how to edit with notepad"

 

:) :) :)

[Yeniceri]

I guess there is a risk of changing all pylons state!!

i am having biiig problems about making it stock skin compatible..

they are not the same model...

When i make one side fit, it gets messy at the other side

I even tried to stretch the skin a little ,

but it looks ugly guys..

 

check this...

 

 

 

 

 

i can..

 

1-modify the model so it fits the stock skin

( i hate this idea!!!)

 

2- make a skin layout from scratch.

 

I say option 2...

What do you guys think?..

 

Mitch.. say something..

[NotiA10]

without knowing how much work is involved i would go for option 2 yeniceri - it would be a pitty to change your model for the sake of having old skins fit - my 2cents

[Troffmeister]

new model new skins - simple

[GGTharos]

Option 2 Yeniceri. And use a better layout than the stock skins - ie. more parts ... individual wings, tails, etc.

[Evilducky]

I would say make all new skins. I would pm Colt40Five and see if he will make you some skins. He made some really nice skins for the A-10 before, and Im sure he would love to help you make some new ones.

Thanks evil ducky..

But This Hogs skinner is Mitch. :) :)

[Witchking]

option 2...no other options IMO. :p Mitch will take care of that baby for us. ;)

[MAFIA]

My opinion: you should modify the model so it fits the stock skin. Because think about it: we will lose nearly 40 good skins for A-10, you should make new template for A-10 that everybody could make a skin (it's not easy). And i want to say that your UWM mapping is very good, i don't see anything wrong with it on those 3 screenshots. So i think you should make your model compatible to old skin, yes it will be longer, but it will be better!

[thesystem]

I dont think the old skins will fit to the model because this model is allot better made and rounder so it will need some extra skin......so

Dont mind it....Mitch will make them so they will sure be good!

[FWT]

How do you get the template from a model?

[Yeniceri]

How do you get the template from a model?

 

you unwrap it..

and if you are asking how to unwrap...

sponge can show you, he knows the basics...:)

[graywo1fg]

OPTION 2 all the way :D new skins are fun :)
