Community Made Addon: Ka50

[.kju 3241]

It is good to see people join forces in a Community Made Addon project!

The original model was made by BI for ArmA I. The SampleModels license applies.

MLOD source available in the CAA1 project.

ArmA I to ArmA II conversion with reskins, new sounds and various

improvements. ArmA II tools compressed textures and ArmA II binarize used.

Readme, license, key file included, binarized and signed. Also part of CAA1.

modEmMaik made it possible to make reskins easily with the hiddenSelections method.

Some better promotion images would be very much appreciated. :)

[metsapeikkoo 10]

Are these only sample models without textures?

(What I mean is that I didn't get any textures ingame when I tried them in the editor)

[.kju 3241]

Unless something went wrong with the upload, no this should not happen.

Do you have this file? Ka50_RUS_T_CMA_2009_08_15.pbo

Do you use ArmA II? If all applies, Please post your rpt please.

[p75 10]

Wow, nice going, guys!

[Binkowski 26]

I like, great work!

[Simon C 0]

I get an error message about the textures too, something to do with the Installation path. Does it require installation in a folder structure such as x/cma/ka50 or something like your CAA1?

[.kju 3241]

No. It is a standalone addon and can be put anywhere.

Without a proper error report, nothing I can do.

Just confirmed that the uploaded file is exactly as in my test env.

My test env is a2 only and only this loaded.

Here you go.

(Note, I cut all the "non-related crap" out from that RPT, meaning that only the latest start-up-log is in there, you know, just to make it little bit easier to read.)

shaders been updated?

That's the error message I get.

EDIT: Metsapeikkoo beat me to it.

Same problem, only cockpit and blades visible.

Error message that I got:

Do you have this file? Ka50_RUS_T_CMA_2009_08_15.pbo

If so unpack it, and tell me the prefix please.

[soul_assassin 1723]

kju ur referencing a texture file from x.pbo (my guess the reference is messed up in the config at setofbjecttexture)

[.kju 3241]

For some reason the pboprefix was wrong and still works here.

Sorry for the trouble. Here is the patch:

Ka50_RUS_T_CMA_2009_08_15.7z

TEXTURE FILE ONLY!

Only download the single file, if you downloaded the first release.

Otherwise go for the full download i the first post.

Full download was updated as well.

Thanks for the reports. Now enjoy. :bounce3:

Kju,

If this is the KA-50, why does it have 52 on its engine blocks?

The last update does not work at all for me, I don't even have the heli up for selection.

@ p75

What did you do? Remove the old files and only install the texture pbo by chance?

Please make a screenshot of your install.

@ Miller

Thanks mate for the news and mirror. Added to the first post!

[roberthammer 582]

Very nice to see ka50 in A2 ,but pls guys start using super shader for glass and for whole ka50

btw handling is too much hard if you want to do some quick side flying manoeuvre ;)

[CombatComm 10]

Hey mate,

I just grabbed the file and created a mod folder with an addons folder inside. I can't find the KA-50 anywhere in the editor.

[eble 3]

Small vid I made during the conversion process:

Shows the original arma skin, wihtout RVmats.

@P75 BIS used the number 52 on the skin in Arma1, I think it's a flight number, it's not supposed to state the model version etc, we kept the original numbering.
