City Textures rework

[rince33]

Removing the cruciform base to make the 3.7 inch mobile gun a static model won't really work as the static model is a different design. I decided that I was not going to throw away my work on the mobile version to create a static version, at least not in the near future. I have created a revetment for the AAguns . It will be a seperate building model.

I have uploaded an updated package for my Cfs1 graphic mod. I reworked the HE111 and B17 textures. The HE111 textures only feature one wing so the camouflage looks symmetrical.

Very cool!

One thing you may or may not know, there is a way to make your model textures be rendered the same way terrain is - it will use the same lighting, apply a detail texture, etc. It would come in handy for cliff models, but also possibly your revetments, since they include a grassy portion.

In shaders30/TextureMagic.ini under the [Terrain] heading, you can list any textures you want to apply this effect to.

I must look at that again. In the past I did place some textures in the TextureMagic.ini folder. I can't recall if there was much of a difference.

I will create a mos texture for a battery with grass and cement pathways, so the revetment grass will be re-coloured to match.

I don't have Eto currently installed. Can anybody tell me offhand if it has a bren carrier? I would like to have a bren carrier zooming around a future gun battery facility. I may consider constructing one considering that I already have a driver model.

CFS3 has it stock, b_bren.

I did not know that either; that's a cool feature that I need to try out!! There are some earthworks of mine in ETO (bomb shelters, revetments etc.) that might benefit from this. Can those textures be used with a +nm.dds too?

Yes, there is a "b_bren" in ETO's vehicle folder. Judging by the texture it is a Bren carrier and not a bren gun . It is not driveable but it should be possible to set it as a vehicle driving around a facility.

Not sure. Only one way to find out!

Damn! how did I miss this when I when I looked yesterday. I'm not interested in a driver less model though. If it doesn't have a driver I could use it as a guide to create a new model with a driver. Thanks Daniel and Frosty , I'll check out the stock version.
