CFS library missing textures info

I am rebuilding the vehicles in the CFS library and noticed that the texture for the ge_amb should be ambulanc not ambulance.

This may have been caused when Microsoft redone the cfs1 library and recompiled them and the program they use for this model did not recognize more than 8 characters, old dos I think!!!.

The vehicles I am doing show more detail and looks better and have damage models,they are low poly and have three levels of detail.

I could put vehicles on bridges if you like (Static library objects only)

Ideas welcome.

I will post screen shots shortly.
 
if you are up for suggestions

add lots of eye candy to LOD 100

only shows when real close so doesn't kill framerates

vehicles on bridges sounds good

people are good too, guards and civilians they can be simple blocks to LOD_40 stickmen to LOD_70 but make em as good as you like for LOD_100

are you modeling in Gmax?
 
HI.
I am aware of the veh downloads,thankyou for your comments very much welcomed.
I am building the cfs library vehs so we can have more good looking models and destroyable that can be swaped with the same type in older scenery, or build new.
Yes I am thinking of more eye candy ie Drivers etc.
I thought bridges with vehs on would be good.
Yes I am modeling in GMAX and removeing all Unnecessary edges to make fewer polys.
 
I'm glad you are using Gmax,
are you aware you can use a keyframe animation in scenery objects
check out this stuff I found in the FS2004 Gmax gamepack, it works in CFS2
 
Yes I know you can use keyframe animation in cfs2.
I found short animations are ok the longer ones are jerky.
I have tweeked the asm code and done a 2040 keyframe animation.
 
thats nearly 2 minutes, wow, I have some gmax figures rigged for tick_18, they just walk or look about, I will try longer animations with them.
 
You can find the info on the fsdeveloper website.
It does your head in sometimes trying to work all the info out.
Like I said when I done a Train for 2040 keyframes the train starts ok then goes jerky.
other people have this proplem I do not know how to cure it.
