Good work its an great addon   but one thing how do you get the choppers and thing to land or start on deck??   PLz help

cheers

[Duff]

i think you have to try the setpos command.
i find it odd that you can't resupply off the back of it. i have an LST addon that does this. i wouldn't think it would be too hard to add this feature :-\

[Matt]

thanks but im not really sure how you use that setpos command i mean i know where u type it but i dont know what to type thats the thing. Any ideas?

cheers

[Jahve]

Think there are some tutorials on that in the Editors Depot.

Be warned: You cant stand on deck/have helos land on deck while the LSD is in motion, as they dont move with the ship, but rather stand still, causing the helo to explode and the men to fall off..

Put this in the init of the chopper:

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, #]

Change the "#" to however high it should be. Just a little trial and error.

Thanks   It works now this is truely a great addon..

Thanks again

[Messiah]

great great looking addon - and it works a treat.

great to be able to have Marine missions where you can actually have a platform for the mission and sending off choppers.

now, my only quarrel is the sound. It sounds like the PBR still - this thing ha s afreaking HUGE engine in - it really needs a new sound - something that should have been looked at...

but still - love it to bits  

[Jahve]

About the sound: I couldnt agree more.. Maybe it will be changed with time....

great... i really love the addons matey - u know that - im always on mIRC praising you lot.

its just most of them time there is one little things that stops it being perfect. But the Ashland is almost there - so many decks and corridors and great textures.

please send my congratulations forward to whoever needs them - or wants them.

hope for a new version.

:thumbsup:

Sailors!!!!! all it Needs is Sailors!

[Jahve]

 

Yes.. we need sailors.. but why? :p u cant walk around and look @ them while in motion.. and they lack the AI to NOT jump into the sea :p but they will probably come...

[Commando]

Great job on the ship! It was fun to play with in mp exept for the movement thing....I run like an idiot trying not to fall trough the walls and floors to the water, when my friend had started to pound the ship with ffrs. He just kept shouting at me: RUN FOREST, RUN!!!Haaha.
Only way to be safe is to get in cargo or in driver seat.
And can't you folks make it sop that it has a few weapons on it like AA launcher and AT launcher?
Either that an soldier can grab it and use it or that you have a gunner position with a  rocket launching ramp...so that you can defend yourself against aerial threats and so on...
And the gunner should be wieved from the top middle of ship and not fron or back as in the original boat or mark 2 bpr..
Anyways good job and hope to see a new version of it!
You guys really made my weekend a special one..

Great job!  And that is from someone who spent six years in the Navy.  Your work is excellent and I really enjoy the addon.  If someone considers making sailors, put them in dungarees, not whites like some of the lame addons I've seen.  Sailors only wear white onboard ship on certain occasions.  Officers should be in khakis.
