30cal transplant, vehicleturretgun -> turretgun

Angex · Post by **Angex** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 11:46 am

I have a couple of questions regarding the 30cal model: firstly is it possible to adjust the models origin, I noticed that the machine gun uses this point to pivot around, but its out of place due to the stand (which I removed using +nodraw).

Secondly, if I can't adjust the origins, is there any way I can force the gunner to stand up, at the moment he crouch's down because of the origin being in the wrong place (see pic below).

u have to import the model and align it with the mg42's bones.

Do you mean to do this in a modelling progam, or this there some kind of import command for moh.

if u want to use it like an mg42, u have to import using lr3d.

but i don't think a 30cal is positioned like that.

As far as I'm aware, it was positioned on a tripod roughly where it can be seen in that pic, although it needs to be smaller.

Well, i've re-modelled the mesh, and I aligned all the bones to the correct place. The only problem is I don't want to spend 70 euros to export it...

I don't suppose anyone has a registered version ?

If not, I was thinking about using a script_model, and faking it.

How did you import it I downloaded a copy of lr3d and the only file types it seem to be able to import where .3ds .motion .lwo .txt .obj

Thanks for the help rox, you can get the file from: http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~c0258769/oth ... Turret.zip its still in *.ray format.

So, does this mean we will be able to use 30cal in game?

Would be good if you could deploy weapons in AA, you could run around and deploy it on tripod,..... oh well

Well its gonna be a stationary gun turret like the MG42 in AA. You see I'd already written a script that allowed friendlies to use the MG42, I then I thought: "Wouldn't it be good if they could use a 30cal aswell !".

If its not too modernised, I don't suppose I could borrow it for a map ?
