I thought I'd make a thread for my ideas. I'll try to make them attainable. No fully working FSB models with tunnels and all that crap.

In the model aditing software, is it possible to shrink the VC/NVA? Right now the indigs and the like are way too ripped and tall.

Would it be possible to shrink the sizes of indig Southern forces too?
Also, add some small SF montagnards.

It is very easy to shrink a model in O2, however somehow the ArmA engine takes the skeleton (body) weights for the animations and when the weights arent matching to the size (or whatever, I dont know) then the soldier model "explodes" into this thing type of creature, its scary.

Ultimately you have to re-weight all the skeletons parts if you shrink down the model, also I'm not sure how the weapon is handled then, I mean if US soldier holds a rifle its positioned normally, but if a VC does it, the rifle floats around his forehead. I have no clue if the weapon position is related to the individual soldier model or just ArmA engine default.

I would like to see small soldier models for the Asian people for sure. Hopefully we/I learn how to weight the model and there is no further issues to deal with.

Unfortunetely i don't know anything about the "characters"
But you saw that "mini" fighters from Nelphim? They are just half hight as the leg of a soldier

Heres an ArmA Addon with smaller soldiers

Are you german, can you translate what it says... I have no idea. I'm assuming she re-weighted the models to work properly?

I noticed a turret on the back of the B-52 and i was wondering if in the next
update will the turret be used as a gunners seat.

Can't be done, turrets wont work in aircrafts (but they do work on helicopters, ships and ground vehicles). Maybe in ArmA 2?
