Middle East Wars mod (MEW)

Trying to set up the mg in-game
Wish I had more help... This is all trial and error in the dark..

So I made the weapons in the resources 3d custom file

Pointed to it by saying mg34 to weapon 1 in the database

Set up the weapon one model as the mg34s (shield)

Then got 2 diff placeholders instead of my StuG models!

[Keltos01]

So this time the latest model works, didn't change anything and the gun is back where it should be... But the. Rundumsfeuer MG has yet to appear...

Has the new tower and MG shield, a, back wheels , drivers viewport lower shield and three different StuG versions

And is still unpainted!!

added the two front top plates from the Golan example

Made a new MG model for the Breda-Safat MG and texture from RL pictures

see:https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Breda-SAFAT_machine_gun

new Bredat Safat 3D model and textures from real life examples
the two top front plates are from the Golan wreck as is the sauenkopf

and the MG42 flat shield !

[Keltos01]

here is the code for the new msg

So you just call it… ‘weapon’ in blender
The green name is for info as it is not read by AB2

Then in the database set a mg34 as weapon one slot (which will use the sec_wpn_1 slot set up in blender), next right screen in database says what 3d model is used on said weapon_1 slot give it the name of the model, here mg34s, from the resources_custom_3d file. Texture is from real life photos.

The (always nearly) final Stug III with rundumsfeuer MG34 in game

as it is its own weapon it really should be able to rotate and fire at targets in a 360° angle

[Keltos01]

Ok this time it's the one

Might change tomorrow as I might switch the model of the flat shield stug
