Heliborne Mi-28N for Sven Co-op

[sacred needle]

This is Mi-28N Night Hunter attack helicopter, ported from Heliborne to Sven Co-op for use as a new helicopter option: for mappers to use in their maps as a custom helicopter or as a prop for decoration, or for players to use something instead of a regular old Apache. This package is rather large, and includes a lot of options to choose from

This package includes a complete set of NPC models (Army, Friendly, Black Ops, and mini_apache) with the options to choose from two rotors (solid and blurry) and two armament presets; prop models with a variety of customisations (solid and blurry rotors, and "singleskin" with one texture and "multiskin" with 6 saved as skingroups); 4 rocket models (Ataka ATGM, Igla air-to-air, S-8 80mm rocket, and S-13 122mm rocket); and a new rotor sound

Prop model also has 3 animations ("idle" for static, "takeoff" for engine running on-land, and "flight" for flying), and customisable bodygroups for 8 possible combinations in total (2 variations for main rotor, 2 variations for armaments, and 2 variations for pilots), for flexibility in how mappers want to place and use this model on their maps

PLEASE NOTE: the prop model is not suitable to use as an NPC replacement, as it lacks the necessary attachment to target and fire at player. Also, the compatibility of NPC model with existing maps is not guaranteed, and may lead to problems such as longer tail clipping through geometry or collision boxes

Also, as a bonus, i will include the source files for the whole project, including all of unused bodygroups too good to just throw away (like the blurry rotor textures or great variety of wing armament combinations), .psd files of woodland and black ops textures, and Belnoroth's 2048x2048 edits of original textures. Source files also include "DEMO" models, compiled with every bodygroups included and adjustable, for demonstration purposes

Great thanks to many people who helped me with this project. It was a pain-in-the-butt to finish, i've had to battle finnicky GoldSrc engine on every development stage, and it was also my first Blender experience on top of it. Without many of the people who had helped me, this project would've never been finished. Detailed list of participants is in the credits list
