The BF2editor should be able to import maya files strait up, theres a little icon for it in the tool bar? BF2 was made in maya so it shouldn't be a problem?

Its only fair tbh, its very unlikely we would be able to use the model with such a huge poly count, how ever good it may look with it.

Neither merlin nor huey lag because of high poly count. Infact, there are no models in PR that lag at all. Afaik about 40% of lag problems are caused by draw calls(no idea what that is), about 30% are caused by the lack of RAM (big maps), and about 20% complain on lagging smoke simply because they either play with 1600x1200+8xAA+16xAF or because they can't configure their gfx drivers properly..

Merlin bug is a bug, it has nothing to do with it.

the merlin / huey bug is nothing to do with poly count or performance, I already have fully tested that out even thou I doubted it was its off the list of things that "might" cause it hehe. that is for sure some kinda code bug we are pretty sure we know what it is just needs confirming and testing etc.

But we dont want any lag from this, and having huge poly counts would in the end lag the user quite abit, as it would take up RAM to load them, and then the gpu would need quite abit to process all the polys.

What happens if you copy and paste the BH code?
it would crash on local and dedi :p

it still wouldn't work, you cant just merge the code hehe, all the flaps etc would be right off or most likely missing :p

we are pretty sure what part of the code it is too we just need to test it etc :p

Anyway, will it be fixed for the next release?
not really cos it would be simply easier to recode it from scratch rather than merge the BH or any other chopper code into it :p

and yes, we hope to fix it before next release.

should be "\objects\Vehicles\Air\" and name this vehicle "ahe_ka50" so it will end up being
"\objects\Vehicles\Air\ahe_ka50\"

desert is default texture, "_woodland" is the temperate / green camo.

ka50_primary_c.dds
ka50_primary_c_woodland.dds
ka50_secondary_c.dds
ka50_secondary_c_woodland.dds
ka50_interior_c.dds
ka50_primary_b.dds
ka50_secondary_b.dds
ka50_interior_b.dds (you should really have one?)


thats all the textures you should have with there names and I take it interuer = interior?
