On my map dod_brucke, the allied spawn will be in a para-drop airplane, where can i find a model or map prefab for an airplane that players can spawn in, quite a big number of players and also,

could someone help me create a good way to get a cloud effect with particle effects, it would be nice to have clouds near by the plane so it presents the illusion that your in the clouds high above the battlefield, also, lol; i would like to have simulated explosions near the airplane with an env_shake, no damage explosions though...thanks in advance :)

1 more favor, where can i download a bmp to jpg converter

for the clouds, u can use any fog sprites, and any graphics program can convert bmp to jpg, even some versions of MS Paint

Well, go to prefabland(search for it, the url is funky and i cant get a link right now). And I'm sure theres some C-47 prefab. I would just make the inside of the plane. Then put a crapload of fog sprites everywhere so they couldnt see it when they jumped. I wouldnt use the particle effect (you'd need a big one) because of lag with all those explosions going on(which i dont know how time and everything).

Couldnt you just open the bmp in something, and then save it as a jpeg?

Well i guess i can try the quicktime picture viewer? i havent tried yet, and my mspaint doesnt save as jpeg for an odd reason

i guess the sprites alone should work, expect screenshots soon

I was planning an inside for the plane, but I hit the snag with faces, and the problem when it comes to clipping the model. I'm thinking I'm going to release a "jump" skin in the final, IE where the door is missing. and then I'll add the inside as a seprate model say AB_C47_jump.mdl

but for now heres the link MY C47 model (http://members.shaw.ca/dvdgillen/project/C47/C-47.html)

Didn't para_glider have a cutscene with the inside of a c-47, which proceded to crash? Its been ages since I saw any DOD cutscenes I'm afraid, my memory is a bit hazy.

that was a glider being dragged by a c47 i believe, anyway i cant find a prefab for it so im making it myself, any ideas to which .wad file has the appropriate textures for making the inside and the wings of a c47?

rip the textures from my model, it would save you a lot of work.

but as for a C-47 prefab there was one a bit of time back.

the only other C-47 model in DOD is about 6 inches high.

I wont use your textures, i need textures for the inside of the airplane....
