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!

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

MG moves !!! will have to reduce its arc as the shield really was just hinged and the MG could move a bit in the opening

Back on Tsahal side

I decided to work on modifying the AB2 "unknown half-track model"

So as to have a lighter model

The HMG will be its own weapon model, then we can have two sec weapons and the one next to the driver is the coax.

Israeli half-tracks had also 20, 57, or 90 mm guns installed!

Saw a convoy of four with two sporting the 20mm gun instead of a HMG.

So being able to insert outside weapons models is nice, also means they can rotate which the devs weapons don't
