LVT-4 Water Buffalo - Vehicle for your Enjoyment

[GeneralJ927]

Hey all, i made this a while back for The Soldier, for his Marine's Mod, which was released a few months back. He never used it in his mod, but was released seperately to it on moddb, but it is somewhat lost and i've decided to upload it and put it here, so each of you in the community can have a try and play of it.

It was the first vehicle model i had done and it was a nice learning project, although i did well and got it as accurately as i could, some things you may notice wrong but i find it a brilliant attempt for myself. What my point is, you'll probably be rubbish the first time you do something, but you'll learn and get better at it.

I'd also like to mention, my first texture was a 1 colour one with the details, which Asureka updated the texture into the one you see, before The Soldier released it with his mod.

You may have seen this in another mod, Brothers of War 3: Waves of Destruction being made by Gabriel, which is good to see.

Heres a link to the video, 3DS Max render, so you can have a see what it looks like:

Mod help to use this in beach missions (for the new guys or those who like videos):

Heres the download links, i had done it for both Men of War and Men of War: Assault Squad, make sure you download the right one (you'll see the game icon on the folder):

For Men of War: Assault Squad:

(As Assault Squad is constantly being updated, things may have changed, this was released a few patches back, although it 100% works and changes are easy to do)

For Men of War:

Read the ReadMe for information if you want to put this into your mod, you are free to use this for playing, although if you wish to release it in a mod, please ask me for permission - thanks.

Note: i will not be supporting it, such as changes to the model or to the files (readme will help you with file changes).

Have fun with it and enjoy.

From what I can see in the Youtube video, the model look very nicely done but... why did you upload it as a .exe file? Why not simply upload it as a standard MoW (I downloaded the MoW version) folder tree? Sorry to say this, but as a rule, I don´t click on .exe files to unpack software...

[GeneralJ927]

Don't worry Zeke, its perfectly safe, i do virus scans on them before packing them, with another virus scan of it afterwards, i work in a safe way due to the projects i work on, if its from me your guaranteed its free from anything bad and no-one has messaged me of anything bad coming from things they have downloaded from me which is good.

I did the .exe way, as its a bit easier, can add some info and add an icon to it for visual aid.

Very great job.
Compliments!

I am a collector of vehicles and other stuff. I love this kind of production.
Thank you very much.

I hope to see something new in the future, you really need to exploit your just aquired skills

[GeneralJ927]

You might see something new, as i've been modelling a vehicle for a game project i'm currently doing for the GEM engine, which i might be able to show soon.

After the LVT-4, i was modelling another vehicle before i joined the project, many of you may have wanted to see this in MoW, the one i was doing was the DUKW which i may finish in the future.

[Dilust]

DUKW? You might? No, no, you must finish it! :P

[GeneralJ927]

Will just have to see Dilust, i was aiming at 2 variants of the DUKW, cargo and troop/cannon transport. Cargo variant would have barrels, ammo crates and supplies in the back, troop/cannon transport variant would have a number of troops or 1 anti-tank/artillery gun (non-usable). Some had a 50.cal on them, but i was just thinking of having a machine mounted on the window of the passenger seat for defence.

2 others i had in mind was the medic and usable anti-tank gun variants. Currently busy with the project i'm doing, but when i'm finished on that i'll get it finished.

Added new video on page 1 or you can use the link below, its mainly for those new to modding the game and would like to use the vehicle:

Really enjoying this, thanks. And looking forward to your Dukw's. Novel solution to the lack of a door command in the interface.

Re; the .exe file.

I'm also not a big fan of letting spurious .exe files loose on my machine, or self extractors for that matter, preferring to place them where I'm sure they went as it were :-)

This however appears to be more of a self extracting archive than a program file. It can be handled like a zip or rar archive with 7-Zip by right clicking on it. No worries.
