nahhh dats fine dey r under 3500 but there will B no inside till i get the tank and bridge animation sorted

[DeLiltMon]

Cool, inside is a separate LOD anyway

[swift88]

i should concentrate on d fv432, sultan and spartan, because i promised that they would b finished soon

[DeLiltMon]

The more Brit kit the better

[swift88]

dunno if u have seen the avre in action, but it seems v.hard to emulate         ......therfore I think the american birdge layer would b better wolverine i think its called

[Mr_Shady]

Is the AVRE is Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers, the Cheiftain (or is it a Challenger?) with the dozer blades, fascine bundles and dirty great big winch, for towing tanks out of ditches? Wouldn't that be a bit of a waste of time for OFP, since there's usually no need to tow something out of a ditch, and you can't deform the terrain (therefore you can't dig with the blades). I think some scripting could sort out the fascine bundles, but there aren't many AT ditches in OFP  

The Chiefy Bridgelayer would be a worthwhile addon, if it worked alright. Maybe if someone made an island with some rivers or ditches we could bridge, we could all put our Sapper hats on and get engineering  


Anyone thought of doing the Centurion AVRE? It's similar to the current AVRE, except it's based on the Centurion (natch), and has a bloody great big 165mm snub-nosed demolition gun rather than the RO 105mm gun. The gun's designed for knocking out fortifications, infantry positions, demolishing houses and other fun things, but if you were to hit a T80 with it, I'm sure Ivan would be a bit sore  ;D

[tankieboy]

Me likes your thinking

[swift88]

the AVRE is on both the centurion and the chieftain, but the centurion is more known than the cheiftan because the chieftan usally holds those tank ditches thingys without the huge demolition gun, ive got a centurion, which i could xpack and edit, but i cant !!!!!!!! so i think i will ave to build from scratch

[swift88]

is any one familiar with wrp edit, (or wateva the name is of the opflashpoint terrian editor is) and make a nice bit of scenery of either british country side or an area with loads of small dithes and small gaps to be crossed witha bridge layer possibly  ;D it would be really cool SWIFT

[Mr_Shady]

Someone should make the tank training grounds at Bovington in Dorset, plenty of knife-edges and ditches to rattle round, or so my Dad tells me  ;D

[swift88]

dorset ahey, i think that would be cool. isnt that d place where ambibious vehicles train as well

...
Step 3 - Script called to swap model to extended bridge model
...
Step 5 - Script swaps model for tank without bridge model and adds model of bridge in front of it which can be driven over.
...

Swapping models is a real hard task especially if it should work in multiplayer and for vehicles with crew.

[swift88]

i could always have a single bridge that works like a door or hatch on a axis and just flips 180' (like the chieftan avlb)

[swift88]

right ive taken this model from the mod im working with, but its a model made by Rufus of a centurion avlb....... it was previously a avre but i removed the turret........ and added some metal struts, all i need to do now is add the bridge.........
