if its possible to add seats to a vehicle then is it possible to add lod's to a model?

1.no
2.i dont know what your talking about

You can't add LOD's in PC since you're not compiling new lower-poly models...

wat is LODs?

yes
no

There should be a seat tutorial.

BTW, LODs are the lower-poly versions of models that help the game run faster.

For example, get close to a master chief biped. Move back. You'll notice the model gets less-detailed and a bit more jaggy. This helps lower-end cards run the game faster by drawing less of the model. It works the same way mip-maps work.

1. Yes.
2. Yes (In CE)

no not even in ce, to my understaninding youd have to recompile the entire model? so you cant really ADD to it -_-

i was trying to make destructable scenery if it was possible to add lod's but i found another way to do it using existing lod's such as the lod's of a boulder. the only problem is i had to switch collision models with the c_field generator so that when you destroyed the boulder it would switch models and go to the damaged boulder. same effect just not as cool since the collision is fucked

So it's possible to add seats to a vehicle in PC? ...Well that's gonna help my campaign along nicely. I was wondering how I was gonna explain a Dropship dropping off a Warthog and not a Ghost. I'll just add in a little turret, and a sort of side-seat.

Anyone mind telling me how to do this?

You don't make thing destructable with LODs, you make things destructable with permutations. >_>

Oh, and phenom, that's what I meant. (Recompiling the entire model)

There is. I think it's still in the Tutorial forum.

Ok, I just checked, and it's gone

hehehehe... i created a kickass mod for ce, that i never released, basically it added a seat on the back of every player, so you could piggyback...

I'd really like to see that.

i wish i could show it...

I bet. Pity you can't.

my comp has been deep formatted 6 time since i first created it...

I formatted my C drive once because my PC was stuffed, that fixed it. I don't dare format my other drives.
