I'm modifying the Abrams and the T80 to be controlled by a single person. I have modified some things in config.cpp (cursors and such) so that it's done to my fancy. However, I've found I have a viewpoint problem that needs to be fixed in Oxygen.
The single crew member is the driver, based on what I saw for the single-player tanks in the BIS headers. This crew can drive and gun, but the optics don't work very well. When viewing the optics (V-key on the keyboard), I get the driver view. It will rotate left/right but won't rotate up and down.
I've been told I need to adjust the driver view in Oxygen -- specifically I need to attach OtocHlaven to the driver viewpoint in memory LOD. This should fix the view to my turret, and the view will move with the barrel -- as I want it to do.
Basically I want the driver's control on the keyboard with the gunner's view on the mouse.
First off, can I even extract the Abrams model? I'm going around my OFP directories trying to find a pbo with the Abrams model; I've had no luck so far. Assuming I find that, can I make this change without having the save a separate model? I can see my model sizes bloating up, plus I question the legality of redistributing BIS' own model. I got the impression the optics will go in its own file and I can move it to my addon. That would be preferred.
Any advice in the matter will help a bunch. I'd like to thank Gigan for providing the information I've received so far.
