How to define attributes in o2

[Gen.Carnage]

Can anyone please explain to me what i would have to do to define a tank in O2?

I have this fully skinned model sitting in there, i toy around with the LOD's, make selection groups and stuff.

But i have NO CLUE how to :
-define where the crew gets in the vehicle
-define where the driver,gunner and commander will sit
-define how these crewmen will be when in "turn out" position.
- How to define the turret rotation axis
- How to define the gun axus
- defining the tracks
- The wheels
- the coaxial gun
- the head and tail lights.
- how to define the muzzleflash and smoke

PLEASE someone point me in the right direction, i am getting nowhere this way.
I've installed a zillion Terabyte harddisk and downloaded half the internet, but i just cannot find that info anywhere.

By "Proxy" object`s. For M1A1like vehicle it will be "proxy:M1A1driver.01" for driver, "proxy:M1A1commander.01" for commander and "proxy:M1A1gunner.01" for gunner.

Wheels must be named. "kolL1", "kolL2" and "kolP1", "kolP2" (L means Left and P means Right) for non "bumping" wheels (like driving wheels). Other wheels should be named "koloL1" - "koloL6" and "koloP1" - "koloP6".
note: This wheel names are just for tanks.

May I ask... is Wiev Geometry what AI use to detect vehicle behind other objects?

Yes. And objects hided behind View Geometry are not rendered. If is View Geometry not present, is used Geometry.

AHHHH thanks a lot, now i can get started&#33;

I have noticed some of these group/memory names can be changed from the config.cpp, for example there is a setting like this:

class Turret
{
gunAxis="OsaHlavne";
turretAxis="OsaVeze";
gunBeg="usti hlavne";
gunEnd="konec hlavne";
minElev=-4;
maxElev=20;
minTurn=-360;
maxTurn=360;
body="OtocVez";
gun="OtocHlaven";
};

So if those Czech namings confuse you you can change them to something you remember better

Vixer:

You probably miss some vital lods. I tried previewing a model a couple days ago and the game crashed. When I looked in o2, it was because it only had model LODs, not geometry or memory (or anything else).
