Well, that's EA/DICE's model and lousy research, not ours, like a lot of things. Since it is what we've got and we're modeling an entirely new faction, it'll have to do for now.'[EoD-Dev wrote:RavenOne']I'm sorry If my joking ways offended anyone. I merely wanted feedback since I haven't gone public public with the mod; and I respect your team so much I decided to post. Seeing as you guys didn't have or from the looks of it plan on adding a new Chinese tank 96, 96g, 98g/99 or otherwise I thought I'd post here. The topics label was just a joke. And so are the comments posted. This tank IRL can kick the tanks *** that your using as its inferior and also a prototype. I don't see why you would model a British challenger first when you stress reality when the mbt that your using for china isn't even used.
I think it's called having priorities. British didn't have an mbt yet, china did. So why make a new china one first? Having a new model for the chinese won't make a huge difference to the game, but giving an mbt to the brits will.'[EoD-Dev wrote:RavenOne']I don't see why you would model a British challenger first when you stress reality when the mbt that your using for china isn't even used.
lol.'[EoD-Dev wrote:RavenOne']And if you can so do better, which I don't doubt please by all means do; I like PR and really hate the fact you and ea are using a tank that China doesn't use. I was originally going to offer my model to you guys but as I gradually went over the bf2 limits I just said no.

Someone should make a website to hold models, code and textures and allow everyone who wants to use them. Everyone would win.

The Type 99 MBT utilises a unique optic-electronic countermeasures suite, which is located on the turret roof behind the gunner hatch. The system comprises a laser warning receiver (LWR) and an box-shape active laser self-defence weapon (LSDW), which was designed to use high-powered laser to attack the enemy weapon's optics and gunner. Once the LWR detects that the tank is being illuminated by an enemy range-finding or weapon-guidance laser, the system warns the tank crew and the LSDW is employed against the source of the enemy laser. The LSDW can disrupt the laser/infrared guidance signal of the enemy missile, disable the enemy observation optics (optical, night vision, thermal imager, laser rangefinder, etc.), and damage the eyesight of the enemy gunner. Photos of the Type 99 showed that the LSDW can be elevated to a higher angle than the tank's main gun, indicating that the engagement of attack helicopters is possible.

If you mean free for all use, including commercial usage, then everyone except the artist would win. He would never get any payment for the work he made. However the game company could just copy some models from the site and make money.
Free for non-commercial use is also quite problematic. Art thefts in 3d world are already common and publishing source files doesn't really help. People copy eachothers work and put them on their own demo reels claiming its theirs.
Its more like lose/lose situation for artist to give models for free.
