@Qdin: there is a tutorial thread sticky here in the xsi section, why not add it there as well.

This is an example of a single wheeled test vehicle that I made:

In XSI, I have a tread object on my vehicle named:
wheel_whatever
I selected the polygons on that tread object and went to:
File>Pandemic Tools>Edit Flags
then selected:
Render Type 13(Render Rotate)
closed the ppg then exported.

In the vehicle ODF where:

Code: Select all

WHEELSECTION        = 1
WheelTexture   = "wheel_whatever"
WheelVelocToV       = -0.8333333 //V = vertical texture scrolling, U = horizontal
WheelOmegaToV       = 0

wheel_whatever is the name of the tread object in my hierarchy,
and in my msh.option file I type:

Code: Select all

-keep wheel_whatever -keepmaterial wheel_whatever

and that's it, munged the side, played and had working treads.

Your tread object should have a separate texture applied to it in XSI.

Well I think it's just that you can use polygonID as a replacement for naming the object. Both are quite easy and it doesn't really seem to matter wich method you use.

The tutorial is pretty usefull, thanks... Are the Tie-Mauler assets going to be released at anytime???

I know this is a bump but since this is a FAQ topic i guess its ok. Anyway i was wondering if you got to have the full version of XSI to do this?

You could probably hex edit it, looking at the hailfire for reference.

would this line work for swbf1?

Code: Select all

WHEELSECTION        = 1
WheelTexture        = "cis_tank_tread_tracks"
WheelVelocToV       = -0.8333333
WheelOmegaToV       = 0

Posted: **Thu Jul 09, 2009 2:29 pm**

I would assume that because everything in BF1 is interchangable with BF2 that it would work.

Posted: **Thu Jul 09, 2009 10:17 pm**

The cis_tread_hailfire for SWBF1 would be your best reference for an answer to this, the ODF for it doesn't have those lines in it, but it does have the wheel stuff in the msh.option file just like SWBF2.

@jango
I'm going to merge your topic with the Treads topic since your question is relevant to that subject.
