Thanks, it's a good idea having it change colour according to whether it's on a desert, winter, or non desert map.

Many THX, Western, we really need several other British vehicles, so it's a great idea importing/converting them from ToW ...  ;)

We already have this from Epervier here:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,26475.0.html

I don't know if his will work in 4.12 or not but it works great in DBW 1.71.

Will this conflict with his or do we now have access to two of these? If we do one could get a repaint maybe?

And there is still no driver which looks odd when it's moving (speaking from experience!).

Oh, I've not checked HSFX6/7 contents and thier cut-out by Epervier.

In my sight, 2 models mine and HSFX6 one come from the same source ToW.
But some points are different.

1. Polygon dense
My model uses full-quality of ToW model. It's using much polygons and heavy, may cause a bit fps drop.
HSFX6 model uses decreased LOD polygons to avoid fps dropping.

2. Armament
My model is a "Tank" with a Bren Gun firing.
HSFX6 model is a "Car" without any armament.

3. Driver meshes
I attach 1946's Stock driver meshes to the body.
HSFX6 model didn't.


Please choose 1 from 2 models as you like.

western0221:

Yes, I see now the crew huddled down inside. Sorry about that. I also haven't tried the armament yet.

This model also does NOT conflict with Epervier's mod - I just installed both and, except for a glitch with the Cruiser MkIII of Epervier, everything works well.

So, I'm not going to choose one or the other as you suggest - I've got them both.

Would there be some way for you drop those crew members into Epervier's model but don't add the Bren gun?

Good addition.

Bob

It's possible.
If someone prepaires a driver only msh file, only attaching it in Live.him file.
But I'm not interested in it.

Really looking forward to these beauties. I've always maintained that we need more vehicles for ground pounders to wreak havoc on! And if they shoot back it's all the more fun!!

Oh, are these going to have tons of polys or are you paring them down so we can have lots on the ground without facking up the frame rates?

These are all properly done with the max amount of polys 3000  pre mesh for the game to handle as of require long long ago when it (mods) was known to be. :)

This means main mesh LOD meshes shadows and hook placements all equal no more than 3000 polys or problems occur 
Unfortunately some models out there have over,
with very very good intention by some creative talented modelers. 8) 8) 8) They just need some tweaking with a program called poly cruncher.  8)

These are with the kind help of Westerns new class-files he provided me, to help me with the work load.  :P This work is very daunting and time consuming due to start up game, check, shut down game, many many times to make sure everything works as it should. I am proud to say that I am close to a finished product hopefully for all versions especially for DBW2 The one I love. There is a mine sweeper I am working on, be neat to have it drum rotate maybe by a gif file I don't know Im not a coder,We will figure it out.
 

Thanks guys for your patients, will keep you informed of WIP. Thanks guys Western and Max. Cheers Wingflyr.
