Vietnam Specific OOBs

thatguy96 · #1 July 26th, 2006, 08:05 PM

Here are the current readmes just to see whether people see things that need changing or intriuge them. Its supposed to be a teaser of sorts, but I can never gauge how many people actually download or use these.

And the new Total Conversion Addendum. Previously, only the US Army Obat was changed dramatically from its previous incarnation. Now, the additional Obats planned for this addition allow even greater flexibility and space, at the cost of existing OOBs. Check the readme for further details and ask me questions if you're still confused.

Hey when are you going to release next version? Those lists seem to be great IMO. Keep up good work.

Well I could probably release the basic Ver3 immediately, but I'm waiting on PlasmaKrab who's been nice enough to volunteer his assistance in getting together an icon pack to go along with this (this will also include the icons that were created for Laurent Touchard's pack, who was nice enough to send me them for my own use as well). I had released the last version as a sort of hold over until I could get this graphic enhancement incorporated. I'd rather not release another version until then. I'd hope that he would be done by the end of August at the latest, but who knows, people have lives outside of Steel Panthers which have a direct effect on things.

The Total conversion, which is right now just the additional "USAF" Obat is something that might stay in the pipeline for longer. My plan to allow it to overlay over the existing pack means that I could easily keep working on it in the background before releasing any version of it. I got the idea from Laurent Touchard who had set his pack up similarly (but much more in depth). We'll see how far I get by the time I'm ready to release Ver3, but its even more ambitious than what I've got going now.

Sounds good. How about new sounds (like Laurent's mod had)? Heh if someone could convert ALL Laurent's stuff into WinMBT

... I mean, all those tribe/special forces/other allies (South Korea etc,). And zillion formations of course

!

It would be blast!

I have all of Laurent's unfinished work. I never talked to him about the sounds, but as I've been unable to contact him recently, I've been trying to shy away from using large chunks of it. The icons I had recieved seperately, with the implications that since they weren't his he had no right to hold them for himself.

The sound I really need is a relevant one for the loudspeakers

Any news about next version? And is Laurent going to improve his/your files any way in future? I mean it could be blast to see all Viet War Pack stuff in WinMBT:P... Especially those great plane icons/oobs/sounds!
