Decided to make a Thread for all the mods that I have involved myself into

I am involved in helping manage a community as well as simultaneously working on multiple mods so my mod updates may or may not break due to how chaotic my personal schedule is. Everything is work in progress. @full marten Thank you for the help on the Bradley as well as the work for the Stryker mod.

[verbal nebula]

Thanks for bringing back the littlebird

[tulip bough]

he did

[twin cedar]

I don’t see it

[pulsar garden]

Filter test mods

[twin cedar]

How do I do that?

[pulsar garden]

Go to filters and got down until you see test

And click it

[twin cedar]

Thanks man

[pulsar garden]

Np

[versed prawn]

I didn't bring it back but Im working on one from scratch which is my first modding project from scratch. Its gonna be awhile but I am probably gonna have help from several others on getting it to work like the bones and colliders, animation graphs, and probably sounds.

[tulip bough]

If you are getting models from online sources, free or not, paste links to them in the descriptions. Attribute the authors and let others inspect. Save yourselft from getting a permaban for using stolen models. Do you know why the last littlebird was removed?

[versed prawn]

Even if I paid for it?

[tulip bough]

if you pay for something that was stolen it will still be taken off and you risk a ban

you will pay twice for it so to say

[versed prawn]

He is helping me create a custom version of it tailored to enfusion currently

[tulip bough]

for more money?

[blissful granite]

11usd and botted comments. doesn't look good

[versed prawn]

Not sure yet, He didn't even give me a price for that job

By custom, its just separating the components to texture stuff correctly. Is there an issue here?

[tulip bough]

i dunno, i dont know whether this is a ripped model

[versed prawn]

From where? I couldn't find this model anywhere else

[blissful granite]

that's the thing. sometimes it's hard to know. I myself got screwed by that before. until somebody pointed out one screenshot from an ace combat dlc

[tulip bough]

its fishy, but i dont claim to know precisely. Some details seem oddly similar to Arma 3 RHS MH-6 which was what the old reforger littlebird was ripped form

[odd arch]

it does look suspiciously cheap

[versed prawn]

This is a different model. I actually posted my mod with that ripped model until someone pointed it out which I switched to this model instead

[tulip bough]

and dude
seriously

[versed prawn]

Well yeah, how often do you see or hear people ask for a littlebird?

[odd arch]

yeah, that's kind of wild, it takes time to make something with quality

[blissful granite]

that's with all due respect a major dick move...

[tulip bough]

from my side? maybe

[versed prawn]

There's like no word on a littlebird being worked on at all anymore so not sure what the deal is honestly. If you are offended by this, then by all means be offended

[blissful granite]

calling other modders "slow" for not making what you want is kind of dickish imo. both the little bird mods that were out since 1.0 had ripped models which kinda tells you why there haven't been people working on such.

[versed prawn]

This has nothing to do with the people working on the littlebirds in the past

[spare depot]

I think it's fair to say that it was meant as a light hearted gag joke

Y'all sensitive

[blissful granite]

and there you are. you found a model and are doing a mod of yourself own. congrats! but calling others "slow" wasn't it chief

[tulip bough]

anyway i didnt come to poop on your parade. if the model is legit, no questions from me

[versed prawn]

It was supposed to be ironic cause I myself am very inexperienced in modding so don't expect this to come out anytime soon lol

[odd arch]

Also as I said before, making something that has quality takes a lot of time
Only warning you that 10 bucks is suspiciously cheap

[tulip bough]

just advice cause you do seem eager to learn that buying crap online might lend you in hot water

[odd arch]

Good luck in general

[spare depot]

Good thing it's $11 then 🤓

[tulip bough]

like its not worth getting banned over

[versed prawn]

I would get banned over it? I wouldn't just be able to switch the model?

[blissful granite]

yeah. and I mean. don't get me wrong I'd love to see more aircraft in AR (yeah RHS 👀) but I wouldn't trust a 11$ model with suspiciously bot looking comments... eitherway I wish you good luck. (mb wrong ping)

[tulip bough]

its possible, posting ripped models on workshop is against the terms of service and many have been taken down and banned

a loooot of people rip models form games and mods and resell them to make a quick buck

[odd arch]

yeah, it's sad but it is what happens sometimes

[blissful granite]

I mean. plausible deniability if you didn't know the model was ripped tho but still. can't trust nobody lol

[tulip bough]

we police the arma community not because we dont want competitive littlebirds or because we dont want you to have successfull mods... we do it because we refuse to let these fuckers get away with it

[versed prawn]

Is there any real way to verify authenticity of a model?

[blissful granite]

cross comparison. sadly there isn't really a good way other than that

[tulip bough]

well one very sus think like @odd arch said is price

[spare depot]

Just play every game until you find it

[odd arch]

from a model like that I would expect them to price it at least at 100 something, at the cheapest

apart from that it's like buying from ebay, check the seller, their reputation, if the comments look weird, etc

[spare depot]

The comments are a bit sus tbh
And the variety of models on the page

[versed prawn]

Its a very simple model, theres no colliders even

[odd arch]

hmm, still

[tulip bough]

the colliders are an engine thing

[versed prawn]

Is there a way to see within the model files themselves of where it could have came from?

[odd arch]

Not saying this one I'm about to link is legit since I have not checked myself, but this is more what I would expect in terms of price
https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/mh-6e-little-bird-514203

[odd arch]

it's more about comparing and trusting the seller

[blissful granite]

brother. best way you can confirm is by looking at other popular games that have the same aircraft. GTA, DCS, CoD etc. if the textures match and the mesh looks similar. it might be ripped.

[versed prawn]

That link doesn't bring me to anything

[void nova]

The "Old Reforger Littlebird" was the Take On Helicopters MD500. Now if you are talking about the MH6-MELB that was in dev by another person that was purchased from LuisBCompany, that one as the rip from RHS.

[tulip bough]

i think this one IS the RHS rip one

[odd arch]

LMAO

[versed prawn]

This is the ripped one
https://rigmodels.com/model.php?view=MH-6_Little_Bird_Helicopter-3d-model__54daeb52eaa546528e378b46b168bce9&searchkeyword=luisbcompany&manualsearch=1

[tulip bough]

yeah i meant the MELB. I didnt know the MD500 was known as littlebird

[odd arch]

I just linked the first one I found, price point stands but the coincidence is funny

[blissful granite]

that's like the civilian designation afaik

[versed prawn]

What happened to the MD500 anyways? I would pay a ton for that kind of model honestly

[odd arch]

as I said, I had not checked it xDD

[void nova]

The BI MD500 files come with an Armed (AH-6), but it's just an armed MD500.

[blissful granite]

also didn't A2 have one as well?

[void nova]

Yes, but it's much lower quality.

[blissful granite]

still better than a ripped one lol

[tulip bough]

maybe but I was sure the term Littlebird specifically refered to the armed mil variant only

[void nova]

The Take on Helicopters MD500 IS the A3 MD500

[odd arch]

I just checked the link again, the first image I think the helicopter is over Takistan lmao

anyway, that's why it's preferred for people to make their own models, ofc it is more complicated

[void nova]

It is, BI just used the armed civilian version as a standin for the littlebird.

I'll see about pushing the MD500 this weekend. It on't be very functional. Same with the blackhawk. But at least that one now has proper lods, even if all the actions and compartments are broken again.

But you guys can at least use it to continue doing what you've been doing with the broken mods.

[versed prawn]

I love you man, You just made me mad excited

[versed prawn]

Are you gonna push it to workshop or github?

[void nova]

Workshop.

[versed prawn]

Might be a bit harder but still possible to get working just like the bradley at least

[void nova]

The art is all BI art, not really big on people publicly publishing their art, even if it is a collaborative project.

[versed prawn]

Yeah I figured, just hopefully its not too much work needed to recover the data of the model itself after the 1.2 script format changed. It being republished is huge to me and Im like super excited now to just get it working again lol. Thank you

[versed prawn]

Is there any bohemia game we would be allowed to port over content into reforger from?

[jagged remnant]

Arma 3

[versed prawn]

I thought we can't Debinarize any models?

[void nova]

You can't, and can't touch A3 stuff.

At least not yet.

[verbal nebula]

MD500 is the civilian designation, Littlebird is the codename of those AH-6 and MH-6 miliatary version, those one are differrent from the MD500 in terms of avionics, powerplant etc, but based on the civilian MD500, you can considered as different helos

[tulip bough]

Arma 2 and TOH APL stuff, it's all available

[tulip bough]

I know...that's what I was saying.

[verbal nebula]

jsut to confirm what you were sayin, as aircraft denomination can easily be a mess

[versed prawn]

Wait so That stuff CAN be ported??

[void nova]

Yes.
https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/licensed-data-packages

[versed prawn]

I wish I knew this sooner
Im about to go down a rabbit hole

[tulip bough]

RHS MELB author says your 11$ model is not his or derived so no more complaints from my side if you want to keep using it.

[versed prawn]

How much for his model?

[verbal nebula]

If I remember correctly he paid around 150$

[versed prawn]

He didn't make it?

[verbal nebula]

no, that's why his mod got downed, the model he bought was the one ripped from RHS A3

[versed prawn]

Oh well thats the model im referring to buying

[verbal nebula]

do not ^^

[versed prawn]

What if I just stole an RHS 3d model maker and paid him for this project

[verbal nebula]

actually the OC of the RHS A3 figured out that his model was ripped, and said that MAYBE he'll get it to reforger I think, but it wasn't his priority you can go check on the MH-6 MELB showcases the whole discussion is there

Eventually you can try getting in touch with him

https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1190652045045284975

[versed prawn]

Oh that is the RHS MH-6 being made? I thought it was taken from the RHS A3 mod?

[versed prawn]

What would need to be done to a .p3d file to import it into blender?

[verbal nebula]

no it's not being made, it was made for reforger until the OC figured out it was his model, and that it was ripped, now it's dead and will not get published again. getting in touch with OC could maybe get that work back but doesn't seem to be his priority

[dark glen]

Build it yourself

[boreal egret]

how did you not get banned, since you (unknowingly) used ripped assets?

[tulip bough]

the original author of the RHS MELB was very reasonable. Im sure though if it would keep happening his patience would g down

[copper grove]

He’s not wrong

[versed prawn]

I won't be updating my mods for awhile as I can't even log back into my workshop account in workbench anymore for some reason

Just hangs on "Linking" don't know how to fix.

[versed prawn]

Its working again

[versed prawn]

Hey just wanted to confirm again, you plan on reuploading the MD500 right? Just wondering

[dark plover]

sorry what?

the 11$ model shown looks pretty suspicious to say the least. Same goes for a lot of the other stuff posted by this particular bloke, things are all over the place. There are tons of things that are ripped from different games, and mods even on reputable websites like cgtrader. In general if the price is too good to be true, it probably is
You are responsible as per workbench EULA for everything you upload. Using a model that has been ripped can lead to permabanned from workshop and all official BI platforms (you attest on upload that you own sufficient Intellectual Property rights to upload)

[versed prawn]

This is like the first model I ever purchase so any advice I do appreciate. Is there really no way to verify if a model was ripped? And Why is it a permaban for something I would not have intended on doing? There's got to be some kind of AI or something that could find out. What if the model was modified heavily to the point of looking like a new higher quality model?

[versed prawn]

Also is it possible to take down a mod just incase:? I'd rather make sure its for sure legit if this is all the case

The seller has been pretty cooperative with answering questions so Ill hold off on the project for now while I find more info

[versed prawn]

Doesn't answer all my questions

[dark plover]

1. Is there really no way to verify if a model was ripped?
   not directly. best way to make sure it isn't ripped from some place is to make it yourself. That said, if it is, sooner or later someone will figure it out
2. And Why is it a permaban for something I would not have intended on doing?
   because of said resposability. If you aren't 100% sure it isn't, maybe it is better not to use such models to begin with
3. There's got to be some kind of AI or something that could find out.
   Not to my knowledge, and surely not based on pictures you have access to before making the purchase anyways
4. What if the model was modified heavily to the point of looking like a new higher quality model?
   Same as above
5. Also is it possible to take down a mod just incase:? I'd rather make sure its for sure legit if this is all the case
   You can definatelly take it down, yes
   6 The seller has been pretty cooperative with answering questions so Ill hold off on the project for now while I find more info
   So was that LuisB bloke that was selling ripped content from Arma games and its mods. So are all the loosers doing the very same thing within roblox...doesn't mean much

[versed prawn]

Okay so how do I take down a mod?

[dark plover]

you report it yourself for takedown, or you upload an empty mod instead, whichever you prefer

[versed prawn]

Also is there any resources on how to properly port the already unbinarized models from arma 2 into enfusion?

[dark plover]

should be on wiki

[versed prawn]

I go through a brain aneurism looking through the bohemia wiki

I have yet to find anything related to arma 2 .p3d files

They don't look right at all through blender either so im not sure

I thought I might as well use the arma 2 model since its already available

[dark plover]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Enfusion_Blender_Tools:_P3D_Conversion

[versed prawn]

are arma 2 models considered ODOL P3Ds?

[dark plover]

not all released by BI are in mlod format. some are in odol (binarized) format.

[versed prawn]

How can you tell the difference upon download?

I downloaded from the arma 2 samples directory

[dark plover]

if you can open it up using A3 tools (oxygen / object builder) or if you can import it using reforger's blender toolset then it means these are in the Mlod format

there is no difference otherwise, both are .p3d file format

[versed prawn]

Are they expected to import properly into blender? This is what it looks like when imported directly

[dark plover]

the triangles are proxies. seems fine to me

[versed prawn]

So what would need to really be done to this model in order to work in enfusion? Gotta set bones? Armature? Colliders? Meshes? something more?

[copper grove]

I hope you get it working man

[dark plover]

You got to clean-up the model (also merge some lods - A3 had pilot lod that was used only when in first person view), convert the texture maps from legacy (non-pbr) spec / gloss to metalness (or make your own using the system used by helicopters in refoger = PBR_Multi) , then setup your own bones, mem points, as well as lods (if you want a different setup) colliders, etc

the importing process is covered by the wiki as well

not directly the helicoper one, but you will definatelly have to check the existing .xobs and prefabs for the vanilla helicopters

[versed prawn]

What about converting .rvmat files into im assuming .emat files?

[pliant ibex]

imo, and i know its annoying to not dive into your own project initially... do the car tutorial and get it in game working... the helicopter will be soooo much easier if you do that... my 2 cents

[dark plover]

i wouldn't bother tbh, but each to its own

[versed prawn]

of course I can't login to workbench AGAIN

[versed prawn]

Just want to know how much data I can actually port over besides the model itself.

[versed prawn]

Is it possible to port over the animations for the heli?

[pliant ibex]

it makes sense... but basically the car will give you about 60-70% of the base and then the rest will be chopper specific

[dark plover]

no

[pliant ibex]

because helis exist you can likely use the existing ones, im using the m16 anims for the ar15 based rifles and they work fine as long as you follow the naming conventions. I didnt animate the charging handle, i set the bone the way its set in game and then it works as intended using the BI anims

[versed prawn]

What about the rotors? Not sure theres any vanilla asset that will look right with the littlebird's small rotors. Might need to look into custom made ones eventually

[pliant ibex]

the bone gives the information to the anim it needs if set properly... size shouldnt matter. the bone simply defines the anim to whatever mesh is there. I could be wrong and the more experienced guys will correct me but i dont think smaller length rotors matter at all to the anim

[versed prawn]

Did arma 2 use bones and armature for models?

[dark plover]

no

[versed prawn]

Interesting

[dark plover]

armature is a blender made up word for skeletal rigs by everyone else in the industry

[versed prawn]

Is there really no way to actually convert the .rvmat files into the .emat files? Or possible workarounds?

[dark plover]

no idea, but considering the change between A3 workflow for vehicles and reforger's, i wouldn't even bother

[versed prawn]

Wait its possible to look at the vanilla game models in blender?

[dark plover]

no, in workbench

[versed prawn]

Oh well I already know how things should be in workbench, its just the blender portion that is confusing to me

[versed prawn]

Anyways thank you guys for the assistance though. Gonna try to make this happen

[dark plover]

pretty much 1:1. the confusion comes from the fact that, at least from my previous interaction with you, you don't have the basic understanding in regards to any (blender included) 3d software package, specific 3d lingo and workflows

[dark plover]

enjoy

[versed prawn]

Well I already stated that I am using this project as a means to learn it all but okay

[dark plover]

sure, but have a look over the basis stuff that is required. As previously said multiple times, you don't need to be a 3d artist to import stuff made by other people as mods for reforger, but you do need to know the basics of the 3d world

[versed prawn]

Hows this

[boreal egret]

whos that? just a guy?

[versed prawn]

Its myself

[boreal egret]

oh

oh yeah

good job importing a texture with alpha channel onto a plane in blender then.... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Credit where due is appreciated

[toxic wraith]

strykers are missing components, do you have this on a github im happy to fix this to save you time

attempt to at least

[wispy jolt]

make a 3d model of yourself in game

have hyper realistic faces on civs

[full marten]

[versed prawn]

https://github.com/tonimontana0328/STRYKER/tree/UpdateAttempt

[versed prawn]

Eventually if I can ever login to workbench again whenever it comes to that

[versed prawn]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61C6FBE0B5D635AA-GodsCursedChariots

Added myself as a part of my creations

[wispy jolt]

hood ornaments

[boreal egret]

is that ryan gosling in the back

and whats that gray thing on the side

[versed prawn]

No all the models I slapped on to the vics are myself

They are very low quality though lol but it's mainly just me fucking around with blender

[versed prawn]

Hey bringing up the ripped model of the MH-6 again. Was the author of the model a part of the RHS team?

[tulip bough]

the original? yes

[versed prawn]

Is his model not available for sale?

[tulip bough]

not as far as I's aware, but also eventually the author wanted to port it to reforger in RHS anyway

[versed prawn]

So why isn't that on the roadmap?

[tulip bough]

#1190652045045284975 message

[tulip bough]

because while its a wish its not really in the planning yet

Phase 1 is the only real planned list and since MLEBs are not used by Marines it is outside of the roadmap for now

[versed prawn]

Does the navy use MLEBs? Wouldn't marines work in tandem with the navy?

[tulip bough]

i think its army only

specifically 160th SOAR

[copper grove]

Yeah the army used them

[versed prawn]

Would he be willing to let someone work on it with his model? Even if offered to buy the model off him so later down the road he could just go off of what we already done to it and refine it for RHS standards?

Consider it a community wide effort

[tulip bough]

sykoCrazy from my linked post is the author, you would have to ge in touch with him directly

[versed prawn]

I did DM him incase you said that so I guess Ill wait and see

[versed prawn]

My progress so far

[versed prawn]

Hows this one

[versed prawn]

Got it working so far, just using the Z11 mod for its rotors and skids temporarily. Will upload whenever I am not blocked from logging into workbench whenever that will be

[copper grove]

Looking great

[delicate comet]

My man's had a post this whole time tf

[hushed wyvern]

Looks promising, but the MH-6 have 6 leafs rotor. But this is not final product, so I think you gonna make it right in the future. GL with this mod, man!

[hazy mulch]

hes just using the Z-11 rotors right now

[full marten]

Did you figure out what was needed to get working RHS screens=?

[versed prawn]

Nope it seems like it would work if you use the k17 or t14 as a base though

[versed prawn]

Also it might be worth checking out RHS's new Venom heli when they release it since it's possible to use the MFD screen they are putting in it for the apache and such

[pulsar garden]

Question does your little bird work?

[versed prawn]

Yes, but I still need to configure the action UI positions and vehicle simulation data

No guns yet, that will come way later

[pulsar garden]

Okay

[forest gust]

does it work in game? I cant find it in GM

[versed prawn]

I havent been able to update it

But my upcoming update it will be functional

[chrome bison]

Looks good

[forest gust]

sorry to be that guy but do you have an estimated time on the update?

[versed prawn]

I do not as my Internet service provider is correctly restricting my access to arma backend currently so I can't even login to workbench to publish the update. No idea why they are doing this to me once again but they seem to have an issue with arma servers in general\

[forest gust]

all good sounds like a bummer hopefully that gets fixed for you soon

[versed prawn]

Yeah I can't even play the game itself either but I at least can still work on the mod

[hazy mulch]

when do you think that udates gonna be out?

and does it use the huey as the flight model or what does it use?

[versed prawn]

Whenever my Internet service provider decides to lift this suspension

[pulsar garden]

Switch your provider or try useing thier customer support ?

[toxic wraith]

time to go karen

[uncut axle]

Is Stryker mod completely functional?

[boreal egret]

bro what did you do to get your ISP to SUSPEND you😭

[versed prawn]

This happened before when I tried playing arma for the first time and they think I downloaded copyrighted material when it was just mods to join a server.

The entire process is that I have to wait for a notice in the mail with a reference number just to look up what they think I downloaded and from where just to prove wrong with evidence. It's a shitty cycle and this has only happened to me once I began playing arma reforger.

My ISP is unfortunately a monopoly in my area so there really aren't any alternatives for the same price

Anytime it happens I get this forcefully opened on my browser

So far they think I downloaded a South Park episode so I'm gonna have to check in with my roommate on that cause we don't even download anything like that.

I dont know what can be done in order to prevent them from doing this again as it is frustrating as hell. I remember when I came on here around when I started playing arma reforger asking why I can't connect to the backend for a long time and nobody’s fix could help me but later realized it was my ISP the whole time and this time is acting like the same exact way it's annoying. They take forever to process a lift of suspension as well

Does arma backend servers behave anything like "seeding" similar to how bittorrent works? That's like the only possible way I could see why they see this game as suspicious activity of downloading copyrighted material

[copper grove]

I have the same company and it’s shocking that they have done that. Maybe your roommate is causing the issue

[versed prawn]

My roommate stated he doesn't even watch anything and just plays Xbox whenever he has time for entertainment so I really have no clue. It just all coincidentally happened first when I started playing arma reforger day one, and when I recently re-downloaded all my mods for my community's server which triggered this recent suspension I think. I find this really odd. They state its coming from "This computer device" but they can't even provide me the correct IP to my actual PC so no clue

[copper grove]

I’d just change providers or threaten to change usually gets them in gear

[versed prawn]

I get like 800mb/s download right now for like 60 a month with them which the only alternative is At&t for max 100mb/s due to their limited coverage in my area. I don't have very many options and they know that unfortunately

[wooden orbit]

I'd be blasting their customer service lines to get to the bottom of it; waiting on the form seems like some Tier 1 push-off by a rep. Make a stir and try to get this reversed over the phone. Tip: Ask for a Manager and try hard to get it resolved in one sitting.

[copper grove]

Is the MI-28 worth downloading? The fix version the Apache crashed my server.

[versed prawn]

I am not involved in that fix, you'd have to ask tonimontana in the spacestrider thread

Thanks I didn’t know where to put it at so I just put it here my apologies

The thread has been locked

[versed prawn]

Its not locked for me?

[copper grove]

Hmm

[versed prawn]

I pinged you in the thread

[wooden orbit]

RIP to this guy

[pliant wave]

What happened 💀

Nvm got my answer

[toxic wraith]

wtf happened to sean?

[toxic wraith]

cant we just get a mh6 without something going wrong

[full marten]

MH-6 curse

[toxic wraith]

big arma doesnt want us having it

[hushed wyvern]

It's cool to have MH-6 but without upper body movement system we are like a ducks on bench waiting for bullet. It's my biggest wish can defend myself when I'm sitting on MH-6 bench

[chrome bison]

What happened to him

[toxic wraith]

#1050079312977596426 message

[gentle fossil]

So he's gone for good?

[wooden orbit]

He left and went to Modder's Lounge.

He was having some back and forth with the RHS guys and then got sent to the shadow realm for it, so he decided it wasn't worth his time waiting two days to speak, just left.

[fleet sage]

I can’t blame him. Shame

[shy fog]

i can cause that guy was actually annoying

he kept asking the same dumbass question

[odd arch]

He did ask the same questions all the time and kept getting told to stop, he ignored a fair amount of warnings

[boreal egret]

yall what happened

whyd he get banned

[copper grove]

He called one of the RHS guys a dickhead

[boreal egret]

oh

[rose pendant]

Guess no MH-6 for us

[fading swallow]

RIP

[little magnet]

He will be back in a day or 2, he was temp banned from the discord

[dull orbit]

Their totally not dicks

[tulip bough]

😂😂 got my first laugh of the day

thread be toxic lowkey sometimes

[modest jacinth]

How you know ?

[versed prawn]

Thats what happened but I am back now

Me and Zuet work in tandem with each other for our own community

[wooden pewter]

Is modders lounge not suitable?

[versed prawn]

For what? What I meant by that is that me and him reside in an arma community server we manage

Also I got the littlebird pretty much working although game crashes when starting it which has something to do with animations for the rotors I am pretty sure which Ill have to look into. I also have been in contact with SykoCrazy regarding his "Ripped Model" and hopefully I can get permission to use his model with what I got since he plans on updating his own model anyways

[hazy mulch]

is it in the workshop right now?

[versed prawn]

The working model no, but the model is on the workshop

[versed prawn]

Im publishing the non working build but it is spawnable

for the littlebird, it just crashes the game upon starting engines which I still need to figure out. Ignore the total size of the mod, that will be drastically reduced in the future

Its like I can only connect to the backend if I startup enfusion tools and publish as soon as I restart my computer. Any later than that I can't connect for some reason

Nevermind I guess I forgot to setup the registry for it to show up in GM god damnit

[versed prawn]

Uploading again so it should be spawnable at least. Its very WIP so be aware

The model will have the 5 leaf blade rotor for the time being as that is all I was provided with on this model

It does require the Z11 mod for the time being. I have been talking back and forth with mittens about certain things regarding helicopter modding along with Colton1070 which helped alot with blender. This will probably be working in the simplest way possible at first, then refined later on

[hazy mulch]

Im not sure if you have updated it yet but it is not showinh up in GM

[versed prawn]

Im reuploading cause I missed something with config but next update should be spawnable. It isn't functional yet since it WILL crash your game if you start the engines but that is my main priority right now over working on anything else for it currently so it will take some time

[hazy mulch]

Do you know what could be causing it to crash because of the engines, ive never seen it happen so im just wondering.

[versed prawn]

It has to do with animation and sound graphs most likely

[versed prawn]

Just an update, My PC drive failed and lost some progress but I backed last weeks progress so When I get my new drive Ill catch up and get it working again. I had to redo the model for the bones but unfortunately am gonna have to do all that again lmao

[versed prawn]

In the future when this littlebird is fully working in a simplistic way, I will be uploading to github incase anyone wants to contribute any work on it who probably has more experience with this since this is my first mod made from scratch

[versed prawn]

If anyone wants to assist on information regarding how the littlebird is internally, I'd appreciate it. Like exact information where the battery, engine, air intake, etc is located. If such information is publicly available that is, cause otherwise I am just gonna slap it all where I think it could be as realistically as possible.

[versed prawn]

Is there any benefit of separating the windows from a helicopter model to use as separate prefabs to attach throug the slotmanager component rather than just keeping the windows as a part of the whole model itself?

[full marten]

They can’t be destructible

[versed prawn]

Ah that makes more sense but should be an easy change anyway

Would there be any reason why the windows look like theres nothing there from the inside but look like windows from the outside only? Is it easier to make them look more like windows as separate models?

[pliant ibex]

probably means the window itself doesnt have a face facing inward on the mesh

[void nova]

hows it comin along?

[copper grove]

The Taliban got little birds before we did on Reforger😔

[hushed wyvern]

They have a few and few black hawks or?

[copper grove]

We had them pretty early in the game lol

[little magnet]

He has been away, due to life stuff

[hazy mulch]

ohh ok, i didnt know if there have been any updates on it, thank you tho

[little magnet]

https://github.com/TheGodSean/MH-6
Here is my progress on the MH-6 littlebird with Assets included. I am in a financial nightmare currently which needs my full attention until further notice. I have no clue when I will have time to work on this further. Anyone is allowed to further develop my progress if they wish to do so. Good luck

[copper grove]

Please someone finish this

[vapid musk]

Where’s Toni when we need him

[full marten]

I can take a look but probably this is beyond my ability aswell. especially things involving 3d models

[livid grail]

ive finished it it just needs a tweak. I will soon publish the fix

TBH, I am working on a better 3D models atm. After this fix, I will publish better version separately.

It will be under Ihtiyar7 or TOASTy_7

[vapid musk]

Oh shit, thanks mate

[livid grail]

I can publish it right now if you guys want but the models bone has soem problems so it might lead to going under terrain

@full marten can i burden you for a sec? Ill DM you

[vapid musk]

Honestly I’d say release it and let some testing happen to find issues, up to you tho

[versed prawn]

The bones need some refinishing, they need to be like the vanilla huey bones to make it easier to implement into enfusion as a working model

[wooden orbit]

Let me know as soon as you all finish and I will deploy this on my dedi to confirm how it works on a server environment.

[copper grove]

Same here

[knotty lynx]

@versed prawn ik you’ve probably got this question a lot but how’s the little bird?

[weary pike]

read above. he quit it and open sourced it, toasty is finishing it @knotty lynx

[knotty lynx]

Ahh ok thanks @weary pike

[copper grove]

What are you talking about

Dude I have no idea what you’re talking about I didn’t say anything

Alway is 🔺

[versed prawn]

Not quit, just don't have the time for it currently, but it is open source yes

[weary pike]

sorry was just getting a point across

[hazy mulch]

when is it gonna be on workshop if u know?

[livid grail]

I am working on the model atm once its done I will have to start from scratch so It will take some time to see full release

[hazy mulch]

good luck man 🙏

[weary pike]

wrong thread my friend

[fleet sage]

cheers brother

[versed prawn]

If you need anything, let me know. I just don't have much time to "Do" anything on this project currently. Anything is free to customize on the model. I'd appreciate sending me a final working model of the heli just to see how it should be since I was using this as a learn as you go project. In the future I might make some more complicated and detailed version of this if I can understand the basics on the model file itself.

[livid grail]

Thx for that GodSean! I am doing the colliders and then the bones will be added to it. Once its done I will send you the finished model as well

[fleet sage]

Any chance of a fix for the M113 like your striker fix?

[long quest]

Stop asking for the M113, Strider is going to fix it, just wait

[weary pike]

godsean is busy and strider is working on it

[fleet sage]

Chill man just asking a question and sides I wasn't aware strider fixing it.

[main quail]

@livid grail when I get my boys together I’ll post videos of that beautiful beast waiting to take over Arma

[livid grail]

There is still problems on the model that might cause no collision but other than that it should be fine

[dense zodiac]

Has this been released? Looks awesome

[livid grail]

yes but its WIP atm

[dense zodiac]

Awesome man is it on the workshop?

[livid grail]

yes

[dense zodiac]

Thanks man what is the name of it ? 🙂

[livid grail]

MH-6 LittleBird FIX

Luckily, I have just updated it as well. Added new original sounds and fix for collision details. Still WIP

[dense zodiac]

Ill give it a spin now 🙂

Good job man this is pretty fun to fly and the audio is awesome

[versed prawn]

Did you forget to add the material texture map? looks very smooth-like lol

Looks awesome to see it in this stage of development none the less

With the WIP model I had, the collision did work from my own testing but all I did was port over the colliders from the Arma 2 MH-6 model into this one so the colliders weren't made from scratch on my end. You guys have free-reign over all this though so good luck! Hopefully I may be able to learn a bit about other people's progress on this.

[livid grail]

haha prob xD

[livid grail]

yea there was no body collider and other colliders at all so I've added them into the model today

I am going to update it now with the correct set of colliders.

update has been published.

[weary pike]

did you add the material texture map?

[livid grail]

no I will look into that in a minute

[weary pike]

should be formated as an .mtl (i assume)

inside the GitHub it looks like it might be inside Data

or inside Assets/MH6 --> Data

[versed prawn]

It should be included in the assets files which all you really should have to do is edit the .emat file for the body. I forgot which one it was specifically but I could probably find out later to see for ya. You may be able to see what I did on my mh6 mod upload possibly

[versed prawn]

So I was lucky enough to actually post my work to github in time which my drive actually corrupted itself and I am in process of recovering data from the drive which is why I wasn't able to keep to my word in my last message. The MH-6 curse is really a thing it seems

[versed prawn]

@dark plover

[full marten]

Would be very cool if you could upload them again. We could get the helicopter function with only the meshes.

[versed prawn]

Did he ever upload it again?

[full marten]

Not that I am aware of

[versed prawn]

Also if anyone had issues with my mod not having textures from the github upload, here is the original model file for blender

This is unfortunately a barebones model so all the collision and bones will need to be redone if anyone made progress already if you choose to revert back to this model with the proper UV maps and textures.

[fickle olive]

Y'all should fix the operation Overlord LCVP

Thatd be legendary

[versed prawn]

Are any of my mods currently broken right now?

[delicate comet]

Idk

[versed prawn]

Yeah so I was talking to this guy that made this and let me borrow it for learning and this thing is so detailed I lose more than half my framerate when its spawned. Its crazy, but based off this I got a lot of ideas and new knowledge coming later in the future

[versed prawn]

Alright so to everyone, it's been pretty obvious I've had some huge walls in my life impeding my progress on any of my mods and probably will continue in the future without a foreseeable end.

I hope my little bird progress inspired the currently available version and I thank them for actually getting all of us a working littlebird. Props to you guys.

As for my mods, if there's anything you guys absolutely want me to update the most, let me know within the next month. Priorities are taking over my schedule.

[versed prawn]

Im not gone permenantly. Ill still be managing my own community servers, this mainly goes for my capacity to work on mods temporarily. If you guys urgently want me to update a mod of my own or even a modified version of someone else's mod I have done already, let me know. I could see the realistic UH-1H flight model + sounds mod getting an update but not sure how many people truly want that.

[versed prawn]

Working on a KA50 blackshark

[pulsar badger]

let me see the model

[boreal egret]

please dont be ripped

[dapper ridge]

Where’d you buy it?

[versed prawn]

I have saved several different models from various authors incase one is ripped. I won't be letting this project fail

I might finish my mod as well as an MD500 model instead since WCS made the military variant

[dapper ridge]

Honestly if it’s a helicopter there’s really only like 1-3 games it could be ripped from, not saying yours is but especially when it’s military vehicles I always check those games to make sure it is not from them

[versed prawn]

Which games?

It's hard to tell if something is ripped for me most of the time

[dapper ridge]

For a helicopter I’d check warthunder, DCS, and maybe certain arma 3 mods, there’s usually a few things that can point to something being ripped too, often times if the price is too low and it’s listed as “game ready” it’s almost always ripped or reuploaded from somewhere else, that being said I would not use sites like sketchfab, and double check anything from CGtrader

[versed prawn]

Im looking at turbosquid more so

[void nova]

Turbosquids issue is most vehicles only had editorial only licenses.

[dapper ridge]

Yeah I’m ngl turbosquid is most likely a no go for the purposes of modding reforger

[versed prawn]

How so?

[versed prawn]

I found one without that but I haven't bought an actual model yet so far.

[dapper ridge]

Almost everything on that site is listed under an editorial license

[versed prawn]

Im aware of that

Not sure why my thread has slow mode on either

[versed prawn]

You got any recommendations on marketplaces or even artists up for hire?

Im looking for straight up quality, nothing like how spacestriders mi28 model interior looks no offense to him

If all else fails im gonna have to design it myself

[dapper ridge]

Whole discord has slow mode

[versed prawn]

Spacestriders thread doesn't have it oddly

[dapper ridge]

I’ve found turbosquid to not be worth it tbh, everything is overpriced and under editorial licensing which is very constraining, you’re better off finding an artist and spending that amount of money on something original

[void nova]

The artist we hired for the c130 is out of almost all modders budgets but that's about what you would have to pay for a high quality model up to today's standards. The cheaper ones either flaked on us or had sketchy modeling practices (louisbcompany) . Either have to know someone who does art and is willing to do it for you, settle for lower quality, or pay up.

For reference, we paid our artist a decent, but still sub industry standard wage. It still cost us well into the 4 figures.

[versed prawn]

He was paid to set it up for the game engine too?

[void nova]

No, that was just art.

[versed prawn]

Ah well sounds about what I expect for the price

If I knew someone who could laser scan the real thing that would be awesome 👌

[distant warren]

You can’t pay for anything related to the enfusion engine

[dapper ridge]

This 100%👆
I’m ngl people think the reforger vanulla quality is easily attainable and within anyone’s budget it almost never is, with how easy it is to get scammed with 3d art you gotta pay to be sure, ur best bet for budget is hiring someone on fivver but even that can result in scams or varying degrees of quality, main thing is just don’t take modding and purchasing models lightly or you’ll end up wasting ur time and. O eh

[versed prawn]

I know which is why I was little confused about what Ben said. At first thought he did that lol

[dapper ridge]

Ben obviously commissioned an artist which I think is what everyone should do if they’re serious about modding long term or creating a community

Artststion is a wonderful place I’ll tell you what

[versed prawn]

My issue is finding a place that has such artists that can do what I want for this. I am new to even considering hiring an artist or even what reputable 3d model websites even exist honestly

[distant warren]

Fiver is good

[void nova]

Sorry, erased message i wrote about finding artist to respond to someone else.

You should scan Artstation regularly. Follow artist that do mil stuff. Reach out to ones that seem available.

[versed prawn]

Like the exterior of the model doesn't need to be entirely quality made, the cockpit i think is what's gonna matter most in this thing

[distant warren]

If you want quality, everything needs to look nice

[versed prawn]

I heard you love blender

[distant warren]

I do yes

[versed prawn]

I might ask you some things later on in Dms

[distant warren]

No need I’m not interested🙂

[versed prawn]

Lol not even for help

The two things that are gonna bug me the most in development for this heli is probably animations, VFX, and SFX

I find those all to be the most tedious parts personally

[void nova]

I'm not at my computer to get the link, but if you look at the c130 mod we did for manw, we have our sound sample license in the project files. You can go to that site and find lots of raw audio samples. Then we use tools like Audacity to edit them before importing to project. Would be nice to have easy to access SFX for every vehicle, but that's just not always the case.

[versed prawn]

The sound graphs are what gives me an aneurysm

I thought about finishing my little bird mod by just making an MD500 version instead since Cyborgmatt released the MH6/AH6 before mine unless you plan on releasing yours anytime soon also lol

[void nova]

We talked about it. The Blackhawk will never see the light of day again, but the md500 was a Take on Helicopters model, so no issue. Maybe.

[versed prawn]

Wait are take on helicopter models available to use for modding?

[void nova]

They are licensed topl/apl

[versed prawn]

Im not home to check that. Im assuming that means they can be used for reforger modding?

[dapper ridge]

I’m ngl I woudl lock down the basics and learn the programs that are required to make 3d art for beginners like substance painter blender and photoshop, this will help you not only to be a better artist and modder, but will give you experience in analyzing other peoples skillls and work

[dapper ridge]

What is this first I’m hearing of it myself?

[versed prawn]

It's another Bohemia game

I wish arma 3 models were available, I miss the little bird from there

Idk if there is a time frame of when they plan on releasing such if at all

[void nova]

The take on helicopters md500 is the md500 from A3

[versed prawn]

Well to clarify thats why I miss it lol. I am also interested in other a3 content

[dapper ridge]

Wow what other helis do they have in the data pack? Or is it just the one for sampling?

[void nova]

Merlin, uh1h/uh1y, and hind

[versed prawn]

I forgot to ask since the c130 came to life. Would your new framework on making it run like a jet be at all possible to make an Osprey fly how it should if one were to make such a mod?

[void nova]

Any fixed wing is possible, but you would have to do your own tilt rotor stuff. Nothing in fixed wing for that.

[versed prawn]

Oh man I've got some ideas now thanks

[versed prawn]

Also regarding this, I know a bit of the basics for how helicopter models should be in blender. Colton taught me quite a bit when I was making the little bird model, but as for texturing and such I have someone else who is miles better than I am at it

I was on spacestriders dev team for a short while but I've learned a bit in that time frame as well

Unfortunately not experienced enough to stay lol

[long mango]

Mesh object > replace XOB > Trashcan.XOB > light manager (disable) > slot manager (disable) = fun for the whole family

https://www.fab.com/listings/8aa73502-a9bc-49a9-a6d1-9bb530177f9f

Is this thing even a real heli?

[jaunty pelican]

Nope

[versed prawn]

Alright guys I settled on the ka35

[versed prawn]

Honestly what is more anticipated? The KA-50 or something else?

Im looking at a fiverr artist and these are some examples of his work

[long mango]

52A

[versed prawn]

What's different?

[long mango]

Between the 50 and 52? Theres a massive difference

[versed prawn]

No the 52A vs 52

[long mango]

A-Alligator K-Katran WCS uses the K

The weapon load and equipment

Or M it’s either the M or the K

[west fossil]

Ka-22

[versed prawn]

Like the first pic?

[west fossil]

This thing

[jaunty pelican]

KA-60 to balance Blackhowks

[versed prawn]

You know I have been really thinking about this

[distant warren]

What happened to the standalone typhoon car thing?

[versed prawn]

Never left the table but Im collecting too many project ideas now

My ideas flip flop often by my own community's wants tbh

[jaunty pelican]

We got z-9 which for some reason seems abandoned by authors. But it’s still more the size of UH-1 then UH-60

[versed prawn]

I honestly kinda miss flying the ka 60 from arma 3

So uh you guys remember the ka50 model I found that was really good but the license was under editorial only?

I guess i got permission to use it for arma modding "as long as it is free to download"

[jaunty pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

[versed prawn]

Im still a little skeptical

But the permission came straight from a 3d modeling company i found so I guess it's go time lol

[fickle turret]

This would be a super sick (and super overpowered) counter to the AH-6 in terms of being a single seat (copilot doesn’t count) attack helo

[versed prawn]

They also have an Mi28 as well so wondering what would be more beneficial

It's definitely higher quality than space striders

Just so you guys know i work 6 days a week 3am to 3pm so development progress will be slow as I also help manage mods for my own community.

This isnt something I want to rush either, it needs to be perfect without dependencies

[long mango]

Did you ask?

[versed prawn]

I was emailing back and forth with them

[versed prawn]

although got to ask if you know anything about "3D Molier International"

That is the company

[long mango]

Did you let them know arma reforger is not free.

The game itself is a purchase requirement in order to even utilize their content. I’d just double check in case they have an issue down the road. As far as anything else goes I’d attribute them as well.

[versed prawn]

They seem pretty familiar with the Arma series games so I am assuming they are aware but Ill ask them that directly. Good looks thaanks

[versed prawn]

Yep they gave me full approval

Now just gotta consider what model to work on. They are quite expensive

[hazy atlas]

The v-22 osprey would be cool, but Russians kinda have an abundance of attack helicopters already, with the KA-52, Mi-28, Mi-24

What are your options for models?

[versed prawn]

RU

• Mi28 better model
• KA50
• KA60
• KA35

US

• UH1Y
• Chinook
• Osprey
• etc

Really could do alot more or even ground vehicles.

Take a look at this site and see what they got
https://3dmolier.com/3d-models

[hazy atlas]

I would personally do the KA-35 and the Osprey they would go super popular as a two pack

A KA-50 would go hard though, I love that helicopter

[versed prawn]

Lol the ka35 isnt real is it?

[hazy atlas]

Probably a prototype helicopter

Russia had some weird fucking prototypes so I wouldn’t put it past them

[versed prawn]

I should make the Osprey to have a chance of an engine malfunction and it'll just begin to drop like a brick like irl

[hazy atlas]

Lmao yes, but if you want a real bigass duel prop heli, you could do the MIL V-12 it’s the biggest heli ever, or the Mi-28 which is also big asl

Funny Russian helicopters

[versed prawn]

Mi26

Lol i think someone else was working on one but never seen an update from them yet myself

[hazy atlas]

Twas what I meant, but yeah that was a long time ago

[versed prawn]

Might just have to bring it back to life

[hazy atlas]

Perchance

[delicate comet]

KA-35 I think is real, I know the 39 and 37 are, and they're Marine helicopters so putting them into a pack with the Osprey makes sense

Update, 35 is real, but I was thinking of the 29 and 27

[versed prawn]

If i bought all their models of the Vtols for such a project I think it's gonna be in the 4 digit number range for cost

[twin cedar]

Osprey would be dope need more marine Vics

[versed prawn]

Here's a wip scoreboard my community team made

[versed prawn]

That is Zuetlaus work if you guys want to know.

I think he did a good job

[daring jay]

Very well done, maybe smaller logos ans different font for names

[daring jay]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

[daring jay]

I would say the workshop clearly lacks russian helicopters

Ka50, Ka60 would be enough to cover all RUS Vs NATO arma servers

The mi28 is a bit too generic maybe, since its basically an apache but russian

[versed prawn]

I thought about the mi28 just as a revamped version of striders but I am kinda thinking the KA60 just to perform against blackhawks

[versed prawn]

So my sole intention on alot of my ambitions is to separate from wcs mods for my community which is why im considered remaking some variants

[daring jay]

I dont think WCS has a system for a heli like the Ka50, so you will need to make a system for it anyway

[versed prawn]

What kind of system ?

[daring jay]

Idk but (dont count on my words) remember the pilot and gunner cannot be the same

So a ka50 wont be possible

[versed prawn]

Oh thats an easy change

Im efficient in enfusion even though it's ass, blender is where most of my time is gonna be on this

Solely due to my skill issues in blender lol

[daring jay]

Wont you buy a model or you will make one from scratch?

[versed prawn]

Im not good enough for making from scratch but I may hire artists to modify an existing model with like textures and such

I just have a massive time management issue which impedes my own time for learning due to my community needs. Always something going on it seems lol

But modding helicopters is where my whole modding knowledge started so I shouldn't have too much else to learn regarding this project

[daring jay]

Maybe start one project at a time with priority list

See what the workshop needs, and make it

[versed prawn]

I do, i just also have to manage problems with my server's backend or going through bugs happening from new WCS content lol

Its been hectic since their massive update but slowly getting there, especially with the massive config list I gotta setup for the servers.

Not to mention my irl job too lol.

[daring jay]

Wish i can mod helis, but the scripting makes me loose hope

[daring jay]

Fair man

[hazy atlas]

I wanna learn to do enfusion and start a small team where we do people’s suggestions

[long mango]

You don’t need to script to mod Helis

[versed prawn]

Scripting is not involved in making helicopter mods. Only if you add custom functions like the WCS flare system which you may as well use their own flare system

Need some answers on this please, I want to make this possible with my projects

[distant warren]

You can mess around with individual segments of the model

Look at the damage manager on vehicles and you’ll see

[daring jay]

Oh really?

[long mango]

Unless you’re trying to do some funky stuff no

[daring jay]

You have been in arma tools for 9 hours i trust your words

[long mango]

Sometimes you’ll see 24 hours very rarely do I sleep

[daring jay]

Do you sleep there

I wish I close it when I’m not using it

I’m very productive plus I teach myself new things everyday on it so I treat it like a mental game

[versed prawn]

What do you do for a living lmao

[long mango]

Forklift operator

[versed prawn]

I couldn't have guessed

[long mango]

Best seated job in the world

[distant warren]

The ladies love a fork lift certified man

[daring jay]

Could be done with vr from home too

[daring jay]

Whats this

[versed prawn]

I bought the model and it didn't come with any other texture maps😭

[daring jay]

Wait what??

[versed prawn]

I just have to make my own is all

[daring jay]

Solo pilots are wetting themselves rn

People who dont socially interact are happy

Im surprised people didnt do ir before you tbh

Arma reforger is basically OFP 2 so it needed these stuff for the full experience of reforger

[hazy atlas]

I know a server who has the aim of cold war modded but the state of the work shop just makes it hard

[daring jay]

Will it use RHS screens like the KA52, where it has a separate mod called upgrade

[versed prawn]

Yeah but im not making an upgrade mod, it's gonna be part of it

[daring jay]

This will be so great to replicate a server like OFP

Everything is in place after we get the Ka50

[versed prawn]

OPR?

[daring jay]

Opreation flash point

Its basically the old original cold war arma

Importing FBX into blender

The issues im having with it. Not sure if someone can explain why it is like this. All the other formats work, but fbx is the one format I would rather use

[daring jay]

What is the difference if you dont mind me asking

Im hyped for this project and checking it everyday

Hope it goes well

[versed prawn]

Well the issue im having is upon import, you can see how the rotor blades, rotor assembly, and the rear wheel is all fucked up

[verbal nebula]

Doesn't matter what type of format you start with

[versed prawn]

I know but FBX is setup better than the OBJ format. I don't know if .3ds can even be imported to blender

[distant warren]

You need to convert it

3ds is another software for 3d modeling

[verbal nebula]

can use a plugin to import it directly into blender

[verbal nebula]

how does it set up better than other format if you said it's the only one that is messing parts out x)

[versed prawn]

Well the only other format i can use was obj which isnt even scaled correctly.

Although I was able to work it out with the studio and have them custom make a blend file format for me

Im trying to minimize the amount of work I need to do to get it at least functional as I got alot of other things outside of modding to do currently.

So in short i am not trying to burn myself out

[daring jay]

If you get the weapon system to work that will already be MORE than enough

[daring jay]

Any update on the ka50?

[versed prawn]

I'll post some updates when its actually functional. Kind of want to surprise the community

Along with a secret massive project of mine in response to a bunch of criticism from a particular group

So expect it to just be dumped into showroom as fully uploaded

[daring jay]

Wish you luck man <<<3

[scarlet pagoda]

Any update on the ka50?

[versed prawn]

I ended up working on more than just a ka50

[scarlet pagoda]

Oh thats nice

[versed prawn]

Anyone know if RiverX_96 is still active?
