yea setobjectexture should work.... And It wouldnt be usless.... It makes them more... customizable... And if you add vipers suggestion to tint the screen you could deicde weather you want it tinted (yellow googles) or not tinted (clear goggles)..... I think that would be awsome...

Well i disagree, it seems like a pretty useless thing to have, im not really sure how it would matter whether the unit has yellow, clear or even pink (tigershark) tinted goggles, why dont we add it so you can change the level of dirt on the boots? or the colour of his skiddies? or how about which lipstick he has decided to wear that day...there has to be a limit to just how far things can be customized, otherwise it would just get too complicated, the units will be already very diverse in version 2, so as i said...you'll get what you're given...

Agreed evis...i think setobjecttexture's everywhere make it difficult in SP and near immpossible in MP...but what do you think of the tint when goggles are used?

although having said that, as the goggles are to be clear it wont make a difference! I just really liked the tint given on the 160th pilots, very nice touch. i was just wondering whether it would be possible? This isn't just for BAS addons, i was thinking to anybody, theres not much point having moveable things on units unless they have a use...like the goggles from the first DE/RA pack where good because of the dust from the choppers...however say the SEPNAMpack2 pilots had visors which served no purpose other than eye candy...i sometimes think people put in animations for the sake of it without considering hinderences on gameplay...its all very good looking nice but if you can't reload quickly theres no point.

Im just saying it would be nice to have units with different colored goggles... It would be easier then just making a whole new set with yellow ones... But if you find it useless then thats ok... cause its just a suggestion... But in my opinion I wouldnt consider it just "eye candy".

Too bad you think otherwise...

But I do like the new ones they look great and cant wait to get my hands on them...

Vyper, I don't think a yellow-tinted screen would aid your vision. It's different to have it infront of your eyes and have a tinted view on your monitor.
In fact I think it would rather hinder than help.

I'm cool with whatever BAS gets us, but I'd rather not have the tint on screen. Anything that obscures my vision is a no-no

Hmm after reading vypers post... I agree... being able to change the color would be useless UNLESS theydid have a yellow or no tint depending on what color.... It would be even better in MP to kind of customize your player even more.. And it would be cool being able to choose if you want the clear goggles (no tint) or the yellow ones with a yellow tint (i would choose yellow ;D). Someone should think about that...

Besides customiing units I think would make them more realistic... and it says right on your website your purpose is to make realistic addons...

Someone should at least think about making some really customizable units.

Are you sure KTottE?

*covers screen with yellow tinted plastic sheet*

Who cares...

I think it would be cool...

As i said, they will be customized enough as it is, theres no point adding something so petty and, well, crap onto them. You are very rarely going to sway any of our plans with posts on these threads, we know what we want to make and make them how we like.

Eh, I don't really like the idea of making the screen have a yellow tint. But, now all of my old SOAR pilots and crew have on completely white uniforms. I think it is just the lack of texturing, but what is causing this?? I had them before, but now with the new helicopters I seem to have messed them up. The new SOAR pilots work fine. MH-47 addons are in the addons folder, as is Kiowa and 1.46 littlebirds. Should I just get the newer littlebirds?

Erm...you should have deleted the old ones before installing the new ones, the new ones replace them, so no wonder they dont work...if you are on 1.46 then dont install the new ones.

@homefry, if you have the new Choppers you really ought to get the LBs for 1.85 cause obviously you have 1.91 in order to have the MH47 or the MH60s, so go for the upgrade, and put all your Addons in the same folder I recomend, so things get all updated and junk. Unless you're talking about the tjp MH47 and 60 in which case I have no Idea what to tell you unless you have 1.85 or better...

point taken. Although it was a nice idea on it's own, it's not something I like to see (yellow tinted screen). btw; very rarely is not never

Thanks, fixed it.

What *is* up with that Kiowa 1.1 pack link? Does anyone host a valid achive of it anywhere? I've checked a few places and can't find a valid 1.1 anywhere.

Vyper · « **Reply #839 on:** 25 Aug 2003, 23:18:21 »

actually good point....it would kinda be annoying perhaps...

Evis, we're not trying to put ideas into your addons, merely into your heads....we might come up with something that you didn't think of, why else would you have this enormous post or even bother reading it?
