British ETO Troops for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This project started because I was unhappy with the appearance of the Japanese Troops made by Silvia Borja & Xavier Berdaguer back in 2005. I thought I could improve on the texture, & wanted to change the LOD values used somehow, as these objects became simple black sticks far too close to the player.
Using G-Max I was able to tweak some of the texture mapping, & by adding another LOD & changing the LOD values used, I was able to get them to remain as recognizable figures further away from the player, without affecting frame rates too much.
It became apparent to me that with a simple change of headgear, & a few other model tweaks, it should be possible to model just about any other nations troops using these base models. So a much larger project was borne...
As with the originals, these are all configured as vehicles, so they can be spawned in missions. This includes the medium mortar.
This set depicts: British & Commonwealth troops in their tin hats & khaki brown battledress for the Home Front & NWETO.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to: Silvia Borja & Xavier Berdaguer, who created the original model set back in 2005.
Allen for his Making Exploding Objects using FS2002 Tools & Tutorial.
Arno Gerretsen for ModelconverterX & FXeditor, such clever & versatile tools.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
