M60A1 Testing

[west scaffold]

Trying out some new code from bikinihorst. Very good stuff. Changed it to use 1 degree rotation, removed the point system stuff, and fixed the MG. Model is from MEA. Mod is for personal use not public release.

[west scaffold]

Gonna make it where MG breaks glass, add in some fires being started with the HE ammo, and also there's currently no damage to structures in his code that I can see, so gonna add that as well.

[west scaffold]

added glass breaking from mg fire and randomly started fires from HE shells. AP shells will not start fires but affect a smaller area

[tranquil wharf]

If you’re using this for like your server or smth I would so join it

This is amazing

[oak flume]

this is so awesome

i really love the engine rumbling, im used to hearing the default vehicle sounds in zomboid

[neat spruce]

there were cannonically tanks in louiseville, obviously not that kind of tank but if it was an abraham it would be cannonically correct.

[oak flume]

i mean it is possible for the m60 to be deployed in louisville

[west scaffold]

I'm not allowed to

[tranquil wharf]

Why's that

[west scaffold]

Actually this tank was pretty common in 1993 so more than likely it would have been deployed. Especially if it was by like a National Guard unit or something

[west scaffold]

It's not my model its sharks and he said he wouldnt let me

[tranquil wharf]

Yea since Kentucky is a backwater NG state

[tranquil wharf]

Oh damn

[west scaffold]

yeah so its just a project for fun for myself

[tranquil wharf]

First time in forever where keeping something awesome to yourself is a good thing

In this case it's getting a DMCA request at your dms or not

[west scaffold]

Check it out though I fixed the house damage in bikinihorst's code. the house damage was broken due to vehicle damage broke and all being in one big function

[tranquil wharf]

Looks very good

If you know how to make your own Patton model you could legit get this mod out and it would prolly be awesome

[west scaffold]

yeah I mean if it's what they want. They said they just wanna keep it a tile

[tranquil wharf]

The reload sounds are so crisp too

[tranquil wharf]

Yea

[west scaffold]

the audio is straight from TIgerII mod

[tranquil wharf]

I mean it still sounds crisp as hell

[west scaffold]

I'm using that as the base

[tranquil wharf]

The end of the reload sound 😍

[west scaffold]

I'm cutting out allot of his systems because he added ALLOT

like a whole war thunder point system and store ect.

it was allot, I just cut it way back and improved the turret rotation and rewriting some of the code

The MG is still a bit buggy, needs to be rewritten

[west scaffold]

I have a other model, but it's quality isn't as good. I don't wanna put out something that's no good

[neat spruce]

It does say in one of the broadcasts that there were reports of tanks in the streets of louiseville so yes, it most definitly would've been deployed

[jovial igloo]

If you built your own model / someone else did for u u oculd use it?

[west scaffold]

yeah more than likely, the code is largely based off bikinihort's code, but don think he would have an issue as long as I changed everything so it doesnt conflict

[jovial igloo]

can blender be used for pz models?
I might try to make one if yes.
Would hull, turret and gun be needed as separate models?

[west scaffold]

the hull, tracks/wheels, and turret all need to be subobjects

I'd export as one .fbx but separate those components into parts. its actually 2 tracks that I rotate the wheels on one set and then it spawns them back and fourth to make it look like they are spinning

[jovial igloo]

il try to make the models then.

but il be able to start with them next week as atm i only have my laptop not my pc

[west scaffold]

If you make it I'll plug it into the code for you, Idk if I can like post it on the workshop I'll actually have to ask bikinihorst if thats okay before I do that. But will def make it for you to do whatever with

[jovial igloo]

il prob just dm u the models, i have experience in modeling but 0 in coding xd

only exeption is scratch lol

[west scaffold]

I'm not great at modeling but can edit it enough to like separate the parts out and stuff that I need in order to plug it in the code

[west scaffold]

oh all the UV's need to be on the same map though, thats important

because that way if you want to use different skins I can just define different skins in the vehicle code. otherwise I'd have to have different sets of files for each tecture which is kinda a pita

[idle bolt]

Just download some war thunder tanks and use those? The snail does not care

[west scaffold]

project zomboid has a pretty unique are style, Idk if that would really fit ya know

I do have an alternate model let me see if I have a pic

[idle bolt]

I think it’d fit

It’s not like war thunder is the ultimate realistic game

There’s always world of tanks too

Or war thunder mobile

[west scaffold]

Idk I just didnt like the look of the one on the right

[west scaffold]

I am downloading war thunder rn though lol

[idle bolt]

💀

Beware of the snail

[west scaffold]

do they care if modders use their assets though?

[idle bolt]

I mean I’ve literally seen Roblox people steal there assets lmfao

[west scaffold]

lol

[idle bolt]

Not sure if they care but zomboid or steam may

Not sure on their policies

[west scaffold]

I dunno, also the poly count on that looks pretty high

if its around 20k tris or less I think it'd be okay. Id have to merge the textues into one map too probably

[idle bolt]

That’s the mobile version the pc version is probably a lot more

You can also always retexture it as well

[west scaffold]

itd probably be easier to just rescale the uv's and merge them to one map then do the same for the textures

[idle bolt]

I wasn’t completely serious about using war thunder models though because yeah they’re gonna be high triangles

I believe they even have interiors lmao

[west scaffold]

well I can delete allot of geometry I dont need too

Like I'd probably delete all the cables and stuff, as long as its not baked onto the texture maps all weird

[idle bolt]

Well Godspeed I’m gonna go play eft

[west scaffold]

tank now clears trees by default

[oak flume]

now make realistic tank v tank combat

[west scaffold]

lol I'll leave that to bikinihorst. He has his code structured to add more vehicles, so I think thats his plan

although with how much code that was there IDK how it'll work

[oak flume]

golan heights in pz lol

[west scaffold]

this is what I took out lol

and like each one of those is like 50 plus lines lol. He had ALLOT of functions

Like all the code I'm using is his functions. I just cut out a whole bunch of code dealing with like a point system for killing zombies, and unlock tree, like artillery support, it was just allot. I just wanted a tank lol.

Allot of his functions were a little broken too so I'm fixing them

[west scaffold]

new rotation sound

[muted stream]

Yknow you should make it so you can run over fences and tall fences

then you could roleplay the walking dead lol

[west scaffold]

that's probably doable

[tranquil wharf]

Roblox has been cracking down on people using Gaijin assets

[west scaffold]

I don't really plan to use any war thunder assets even for personal use. Just because it doesn't fit the game

[tawdry timber]

I can see that being misused on a roleplay server lol

just use a tank to clear trees and then have teams pick up the logs

[west scaffold]

I could make it a sandbox variable so can be turned on an off too

[muted stream]

big brain ideas

[west scaffold]

I'm working on the sounds rn though

Oh I improved the explosions earlier today too

It had a glitch where it wouldnt break walls like directly behind the aim point but fixed that

[west scaffold]

what do you guys think of these new sounds

[oak flume]

a little chrispy

[west scaffold]

Chrispy?

[oak flume]

cant quite put a finger on it... might be the reversing sound?

[west scaffold]

I mean I dont know the word chrispy lol

[oak flume]

i meant crispy, sorry

[west scaffold]

oh like too crisp? like needs to be a lil quieter?

[oak flume]

yeah id say so

[west scaffold]

okay I'll turn it down a little and see what that does

how about this

[west scaffold]

Let's see what's next up on the list. I've got to change the MG so that it can fire continuously when the turret isn't aligned with the cross hair but the mg fire effects a cone straight out from the turret

Also gotta add the fences and poles into the break function with a sandbox variable to enable it

Gotta add a repair kit item and make it a requirement for vehicle repair

There's a stack overflow if the player exits the tank while in aim mode so gotta add some conditionals to fix that, but need to make sure I've narrowed it down to the right function first

[weak rune]

hmm i have heard somewhere these sounds, i forgot where tho lol

[weak rune]

for me, it doens't sound good, i like the first one more but someone else might like this version

[west scaffold]

Maybe you heard it from a video of an m60 tank

[west scaffold]

The original sounds he had was from war thunder the new ones aren't

[west scaffold]

remade the MG to work at the same time as the cannon. Now instead of having to chose you can just press g with the cannon. the MG now shoots in a straight line from the coax affecting any zombies in that line

[west scaffold]

still getting it tuned in but yeah the function is there

[west scaffold]

It's incredibly fun lol

[jovial garden]

bro release da mod

its so good

[muted stream]

Read above man, he can’t currently

[spark token]

good

[west scaffold]

I fixed the stack overflow problem from the original code today

It needed to check if nil on the cursor before running so it wouldnt spawn and cause the issue

I think I just Have to create the repair kits and make that a requirement for the repair, and fix the destroy cars from the main gun. Among some SFX, adjustments to a few things, and trim out any of the remaining unused code.

Oh and fix/update sandbox options

Ooooh and maybe make a tanker trait. So rn you have to find a book called "Tanker's Manual" and this teaches your character how to drive it

So one possiblity is make it where you can drive it right off the bat

[spark token]

this is a very good mod

[west scaffold]

its pretty fun to make. Maybe I'll find another model for it I dunno

oh also the tracks can be damaged

oh also you can use the left and right arrow keys to spin in place

[west scaffold]

this is the book function

[spark token]

the mod its on workshop?

[muted stream]

No

[west scaffold]

No I can't share it

[sleek spear]

Thank you so much 😊

Will u upload this mod??

[west scaffold]

I can't upload it I am not allowed to

[west scaffold]

here is turn in place and difference between AP and HE. HE is bigger area and produces fire. AP does less damage to buildings and does not cause secondary fires. Basically use AP for more precise shots and HE for large hordes.

[jovial garden]

You can post on it on github if ya want

[west scaffold]

You mean just the code?

[jovial garden]

Yeah

[west scaffold]

Most of the code is from the tigerII tank mod, just made some changes like the MG and split up some functions, fixed some errors, and took out allot of functions

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3161627655

[west scaffold]

This one, which I got permission from this guy to use his code to work off. I just don't have permission to use the tank model

And I'm not quite done yet I'm gonna work on it a few more weeks I think

Have like a to do list. And a wish list. He had a night vision mode that was cool. I wanna possibly add that back in but instead of having it in like a war thunder research table have it a part that when added gives the function, and just have the part spawn in military areas

[west scaffold]

New MG sound

new main gun sound too. Mainly just did MG tweaks today. Oh and added the custom mechanic window back into this version

[spark token]

broo

put a radio in the tank

[west scaffold]

Yeah it'll have a ham, I gotta figure out how to set it to emergency broadcast channel by default

[spark token]

good

[west scaffold]

There's a few things in that file I gotta change, like put the engine compartment behind the actual engine and adjust the driver seat area and stuff. That's pretty minor stuff. I got allot of pretty minor stuff though lol that's why I think it'll be a couple weeks before I'm really happy with it

[steep prism]

And where will this mod be released a server or publicly?

[muted stream]

He isn’t allowed to publish it

[steep prism]

So why’s he trying to get permission for it? This could be mod #1 if he released it

[muted stream]

Well he needs permission from other modders cause a lot of the base code and stuff is from other mods. He is trying to move it away from those mods but he doesn’t own all the code himself.

[west scaffold]

I'm good on the code I have permission for that. I just don't have permission for the model.

[west scaffold]

tunnel bore? lol. Working on fence destruction. Currently working but initially had some funny results

[west scaffold]

Demo of fence break

Crowbar start (cannot hotwire tank). Player uses a wrench to remove the hatch and a crowbar to start the motor.

[west scaffold]

increased engine noise to attract more zombies

[karmic spindle]

This is some Tiananmen Square typa shit bro

[spark token]

how I can download it??

[muted stream]

You can’t

[spark token]

[pearl idol]

this is fire

[kind crater]

Wow I like watching the progress of this thread,my guy is cooking smth

[craggy solar]

bro is using the war thunder icons

[craggy solar]

darn shark won't let you make the tank model usabe? I was so dispointed when I found a M60A1 and I couldn't use it

if you could send the file to me I'd be glad

[west scaffold]

That's just a hold over from the m1a2 mod where the code came from

[pale condor]

warthunder lookin ahh ammunition

[west scaffold]

I switched the UI and icons to something else I made myself from those

I haven't been working on this lately tbh lol

[agile field]

Awww when I first saw this I was so hyped but I saw that it was not opened to the public

oh well thats a shame

[agile field]

but thats a really cool tank

@west scaffoldalso would it be okay if someone made the tank and made most of the features that you made on there tank

[opaque slate]

That's pretty sick. There have been military vehicle mods for a while, but none of em, afaik, have working weapons and they are there purely for cosmetical purposes rather than being practical and actually useful.

[cloud rune]

I wonder when you will post the mod

[west scaffold]

I'm not going to man sorry

[cloud rune]

ok
