yeah surprising isn't it? Did you expect more from Ubi? This is why they didn't make this available in the release of the game. I just like the fact that some kind of damage is being shown. Although it doesn't show for little damage like small caliber bullet hits, it's only for major damage like 5in shells and such :nope:
Tried to make the SH3/4 way of the damage being shown work but it won't. Has to be the granny way now.....

Is there some sort of small explosion/smoke animation to go with it .

Love the way the lookouts face is damaged too :har:.

nice isn't it? :shifty: The granny way of adding damage is removing vertices from 3D meshes. The old SH3/4 way was adding a 'dirt' texture to the texture that was damaged at the location of the impact.

What I haven't been able to nail down is how the granny way determines how many vertices are removed. There has to be something that says if damage is > x then remove vertices. There also has to be something that says x damage relates to y vertices removed (some kind of ratio it can apply to the amount of damage to determine # of vertices to remove) :hmmm:

Ya, It seems granny models has turned out to be a modders nightmare.
By using them everything is effected including applying random skins etc :nope:

Here's an idea. Instead of the mesh why not make a skin with damage on it. Only trouble is it won't automatically be applied during actual damage..or could it be?:hmmm:

Only problem with skins now is in SH5 there applied like in patches so if you create a skin texture with a damaged portion it could end up anywhere on the model in multiple places. :nope:
SH3/4 method way much better you could paint the hull the way you wanted as the hull skin was one continuous graphic. Now the same hull skin is applied in repeating strips :damn:.

v0.0.4 released. See post #1 for details :|\\
