grumpapotamus

Hello all. I still haven't got the hang of uploading files yet, so moderators feel fre to move this. Here is a reworking of the stock M113 to create a UN version. Hopefully this will come in handy for some of those campaign and mission modders. img00006.bmp

Having some problems uploading...

The grumpapotamus came about from my teenage days. One of my friends was in a foul mood during a trip, and being rather large and unkept, we called him grumpapotamus. Now much later, looking for an unusual e-mail name and general handle, it seems to fit. I am rather Jovial and can handle a good joke at my expense, but I am not that grumpy. Also I seem to be becoming hippo like, since I quit my cycling career. (at least it is better than my brothers e-mail name- popelfresser! anyone who speaks german will know why!)

Hello all, Here is a sneak peek. I still need to work on reworking the details. It was a quick project, but seems to be helping me learn... I hope to have the file up soon, and more! Based on the stock M113 Constructive criticism appreciated! img00005.bmp

Hello All, Just need somewhere to relieve my excitement. It seemed my alumni status doesn't count for a 3ds max license. So I just registered for a class on 3d modelling, which means more modelling to come! The class doesn't start until september, but I can't wait! Until then, I have been working on some skins. A UN c-130 based on the USAFsilver1 skin.(as I believe it is stock to SFP1) I have added an entry into the nations.ini as I noticed there was none. If anyone has any info on UN military stuff, let me know. It seems to b hard to find. I would love to redo alot of skins for aircraft and groundobjects. There is obviously a gap in this area.

The CF-100 definately! The Arrow though... I don't think I could do it justice. But I would love to try!

Hello All, I do get busy off the computer... Sometimes!

I am running combined WOV/WOE and am having trouble with the a A-4E(late) and A-4L. The avionics hump ends up as a gun pod. I know the weapondata for these in the weapons editor lists them as a gunpod. How to fix this? Anyone? img00015.bmp

Back in the day... The photo in my profile is me in 2001. I was 5th at the Canadian National Championships (1000m on the velodrome). I use to put on 100-120km(70miles, I think) a couple times a week plus a hell of alot of weights and sprint training sessions in the summer! I loved riding, but after maxing out my credit competing at olympic trials, etc... takes its toll! Just riding about, I can't say enough good about it. You have sturdy ride, a good route(and some nice female joggers going by in the opposite direction), nothing better on a warm summer afternoon!

I have just got SFGold and am wondering the best way to approach installation. Is is best to transfer .cat files and terrains or install, then reinstall WOV and WOE onto SFGold? Right now I have WOV/WOE combined. Any help is appreciated!

Read the Readme, and play away. There are still some model issues, so I will not claim it be 100% finished. (some edges not completely lining up- perfectionist problems) If there are any glaringly obvious problems, let me know! If not enjoy. Click here to download this file

Hello, I have finished this a while back. My trial for 3DSmax is up, so I can't work on it anymore. It is pretty much done, except a texture for the destroyed.LOD file. This is my first attempt at modelling, so I don't know anything about posting, if anyone is interested in using this. Most of the texture BMPs came from the GermanyCE.Cat file. Otherwise, the rest is original. If anyone wants the 3DS files, let me know. img00017.bmp

Hello Wrench. Thanks for the info. I will upload ASAP. I will include the 3DS file for those who wish to tinker. Unforunately, there is no Data.ini fix for a functioning radar, but feel free to add one. Had some more modifications of it (mostly different textures, etc) but the trial expired before I had the time. I am trying to get a student liscense, but Alumni status isn't quite student status. (I was a fine art student at the Alberta College of Art and Design- knew I should have went into design!!!)

If anyone can tell me how/protocol for uploading files, I will post it with the 3DS max file. I believe that groundobjects are probably the best way to teach noobies the ins and outs of modding.

This is a great aircraft. Fist of the Fleet has skins for it.(http://skyhawks.combatace.com/) Also there is the RA-5C avaliable at Check5 I believe. One issue with the A-5B though, no arresting hook that works. I can't use it on the carriers! The plane was an invaluable recc bird in Vietnam. I would be surprised if YAP hasn't used it!

The French f-8E's were tweeked abit. I know that the flaps were improved to help them land on the smaller carrier decks. I have made a copy of the F-8E into the F-8E(RN) version for WOE to play around with, imoroving the flaps and giving proper loadouts. I am having some fun escorting Super Etandardes and landing on the small decks. (HMS Bulwark or Ark Royal is my standin for the Foch or Clemenceau)

Does anybody know what the line RandomTransportType=ANY is for in the CampaignDATA.ini file. I am working on a short campaign using the incomplete Madagascar terrain. I have two carriers as the base of operation. At the beginning of each mission, there is usally a hercules flying, which I assume is my transport/supply run. Because of the aircraft carriers(one is the LHA-1 Tarawa), sometimes the Hercules simply falls into the ocean at about the start point of the carrier. Anyone know about this? Will it affect the mission resupplying. Also, could FIXED be added as a possibility to the line, then a follow-up line with the type of aircraft- or mode of resupply? (similar to aircraft upgrade?)

Loosely modelled after the Doppler weather radar here at Calgary International. Have seen them as part of the DEW line as well.

I remember Warhammer40k. Back in 1989-91 I was pretty into it. Grew up in a small town, which meant I had no one to play the game with.(though a few other people were into it) Spent alot of time painting miniatures. Still have them someplace, but sold the books when I went to college.

Thanks, I love these planes- adds some great variety to the game, as well as good potential for campaigns, etc...

I assumed it unfinished because the RAD MAD campaign was not finished. My apologies. BTW, there are some great aspects to the terrain, though I have noticed in the AE_types.ini file there are railroad entries which I do not see in the AE_targets.ini file. (I have been playing around with this terrain for awhile. I am a bit sticky when it comes to realism and accuracy, though so I am playing with various setups. An East African campaign would be quite interesting, but the Aircraft inventories of these countries are meager at BEST! Too many Soviet Aircraft, and it seems like the same old war over and over...

What happened to the campaign tutorial in the knowledge base?

Hello all, I have just been practincing ini editing, and managed to get the USS Tarawa for my AV-8A's in the Madagascar campaign. Now I am having a hell of a time landing! Any tips?
