Driveable tank tut

Hi guys I made a driveable tank tut that you can dl at my site

http://www.planetmedalofhonor.com/mohboxoffun/

I cut down the blitzschnee script so it had just info needed to make the tanks work, I removed all the bomb loading stuff. I also figured out how to add extra tanks. How its done and everything you need is in the tut.

Thanks to jv_map and mirek for helping me and listening to me whine about tanks day in and day out, and anyone else who's ear I chewed off. Also thanks to scorpio (who cannot be found) for makeing this kinda thing possible.

I am an idiot with scripting and still dont fully understand the script, but what I have comeup with will have to do till someone else makes more advances in the field of driveable vehecles, you know, bikes, trucks etc.

downloaded it, can't make any of the tanks move...turrets rotate, tanks rotate in place, but no forward or back... also, the pk3 screws up my sound files when I go to other maps.

I love the idea, especailly for some maps I'm working on, but.....

Did you run it in spearhead or mohaa? You should try jv's ubersound workaround for the sound issues.

Ok well anyway if you want to take them for a drive you have to use these levels in mohaa not spearhead, though i do plan to have a look at the russian tank and the kingtiger for a spearhead level.

But wait theresmore, guys just to get the creative juices flowing I did a little experiment today I took other tik files eg a halftrack or opel truck and renamed them axis_hingtiger or whtaever it is and overwrote the tank one used in the tut pk3, aaaaaaand you could drive it. Very cool but silly at the same time cos you look out the side of the vehecle instead of the front, but on the plus side you can drive em and you can enter and exit the vehecle. Imagine the possibleitys loading up dudes in a truck and heading off to fight the foe.

Cool

Dont be affraid to jump in and help guys.

I've got a series of maps that would be SO much freakin' better IF I could throw in useable Mark IV/Tiger tanks and T-34s!!!! I've got several ideas for OBJ/TOW maps that would be so well suited for tanks.

Not talking about huge armor clashes, just a couple on each side... more like 3 MkIVs and 1 T-34 that would force infantry to work WITH the tank, move ahead and clear out bazooka wussies and try to spot the enemy tank(s). I HOPE that it would give MP a new dimension instead of some dude jumping in and running off down the street on his own.... the tanks would be tied into the Objectives so they would be very valuable to winning a map....and timing respawn/reinforcements (very limited, like one more tank shows up) to completing certain objectives etc.

Any Sumo, you're doing a great service to the mappers. IF I was any good at understanding the Tik files, I'd help.... but I would be happy to drop your work into Spearhead maps and test them out.

You want driveable tiger tanks? I can do that.....

I want Panzer IVs and T-34s mostly! Think about how much more cool my tractor works map would have been with those two MkIVs advancing through the buildings not knowing where the next rocket would come from.... as an objective map, it would MAKE guys tank/infantry work together to win.

How do you get it so your view is corretct when driveing the tank? When I tried tiger I had my view blocked by the turret cos I was too low:(

Thanks mate.

Can I see your work?
