I found a "PANTHER G" MOD, but there is a conflict with the SPM1.5. I tried to modify the PANTHER G MOD. But it became like this :
Why does this happen?
Here is the mod of the download link. http://www.filefront.com/17532683/Pantherg_Mod.zip/. Hope someone can help me.

Nice paint job!

biggrin

I assume you want to change it? You'll have to edit the matlib.engcfg entry:

PantherG()
{
shader = editor;
textures = pantherg, pantherg_bump, mudnburn;
parent = TANK;
diffuse = 1, 1, 1, 1;
ambient = 0.301961, 0.301961, 0.301961, 1;
emissive = 0, 0, 0, 0;
specular = 0.996078, 0.996078, 0.996078, 1;
power = 32;
detail_tscale = 0;
detail_scale = 0;
bump_scale = 0.5;
fresnel = 0;

}// end of PantherG


That should help a bit, thumbsup

isn't it in SP 1.5, or is this a different panther?

Looks like a different one. SPM 1.5 has the Panther D.

I made it! When I add the following in matlib.engcf.
PANTHERGr()
{
shader = editor;
textures = panthergr, panthergr_bump, mudnburn;
parent = TANK;
diffuse = 1, 1, 1, 1;
ambient = 0.301961, 0.301961, 0.301961, 1;
emissive = 0, 0, 0, 0;
specular = 0.996078, 0.996078, 0.996078, 1;
power = 32;
detail_tscale = 0;
detail_scale = 0;
bump_scale = 0.5;
fresnel = 0;


}// end of PANTHERGr
But I do not know why, after the Pantherg plus a r.
This is a normal picture.


Thanks for your advice,Kyth.
By the way, this is a PANTHER AUSF G MOD.

Aha. I think I got it now.
All the 'matlib.engcfg' entries have to be in CAPS, i.e. PANTHERG instead of PantherG.
I think the extra 'r' is ignored. That gives me an idea...

By the way, YL, did you manage to make it compatible with SPM 1.5? Always interested in having another Panther to get around in, Charge

I tried it out in the mission editor, but the tracks don't seem right:

WOW looks good, hope you can get it to work with SPM 1.5.

Hi Kyth!
You can try to add them in common_res.engcfg;
tracks()
{
………………
//Panther_G
pantherg_l,TRACKS1,0.05,0.7,0.065,562,712,728,746,747,780,4608,0,0.75,0,0.03;
pantherg_r,TRACKS1,0.05,0.7,0.065,562,712,728,746,747,780,4608,0,0.75,0,0.03;
Then you modify the pantherg.engcfg,change the panther_l/r into the pantherg_l/r.
I used the Prokhorovka Missions to do testing, it looks ok.But when I use your new mission to do the test, there is some trouble:Shelling kills PANTHER AUSF G! eekOther vehicles did not happen.

Hi YL,

Thanks, the tracks look better now,

Just a question, the Panther G gets destroyed by shell hits? I did notice some oddities with the 'hit boxes' in the viewer,

The hit-boxes for the gun and turret are partly exposed: eek



That could be causing the problem in my mission, with that artillery barrage.

It's a bit of a gray area for me, I wonder whose model it is? confused
Maybe they can help?

I have an ideal who's model it might possibly be. About a year ago a Panther G mod appeared at Sukhoi.ru. The problem with this Panther G mod was it was copied from another game without the developers permission, so the mod was DOA for use by the SFK42 SPM team. But quite a few people already had the Panther G mod file before the file D/L link was pulled from Sukhoi.ru (myself included). My understanding of the whole situation was the game developer that made the Panther G had no problem with the use this mod to create Panther G missions/campaigns for personal use in SFK42, but it was not to be used to design SFK42 Panther G missions/campaigns for public download. But I'm not 100% sure this is the same Panther G mod. Here is a link to a post I made some time back showing that Panther G mod in the SFK42. I compared the pics here to the ones I made back then and to me they look almost identical.

Look at pic's #4 #5 and #6

Yes indeed, that's almost certainly the same one...

YL,
If you have the Object Editor, it's possible to move or shrink those hit-boxes to fit properly.

...for personal use, of course... sigh

Sorry to be the messager of bad news Kyth & YL frown But if I recall correctly there was much discussion of this Panther G mod at Sukhoi.ru before the ax came down so to speak. If I remember the discussion correctly this Panther G was described as being somewhat inferior to what SFK42 is capable of simulating (not from the aesthetic POV since the Panther G does look very good). Also if I remember correctly this Panther did not come from a tank type simulator like SFK42, besides the hit boxes there could be ton's of other stuff that could be very "lite" or totally omitted. It could make it impossible to bring this Panther up to a simulator standards.

If I could make a suggestion. I know there is a semi finished tutorial on how to make and importing/export vehicles into SFK42. Being SPM 1.5 has a Panther (Aufs A?) I wonder how difficult it would be to modify it into a Panther G?

I agree. Although late-WWII tanks are not my main interest, I hope someone will come up with a new and original Panther G, one without any "strings attached". smile
