Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

Hi There.

Got 1 question: Where can I find the AH64 gunner view Green Screen/Visor. Been looking for a day now with two guys, and my m8's skinmod will just not be complete without all artwork modded. Glad to post a screenie when it is done.

grz, thx in advance

This site rules.

EDIT: sorry, trying to mod the gunner view in DCF. Looked there, and in DC; even checked bf42 (how desperate can one get).

well its actually a dds file so look in the bla bla bla werever the dds files are for dcfinal

yea what he said

Sorry, but can you specify the "bla bla bla werever.rfa", where it is? I mean, I really would not have posted my question in here if it would be THAT easy. It is not in texture.rfa.....

I mean: I extracted all (BF42, DC, DCF, it should not be in DCX or DCFX cuz that came later) texture.rfa to a folder. I viewed EACH .dss in a .dds explorer. Then I used Irfanview for the .tga files. Including sub directories.
It is not in there. It is not a gunnersight of the ac-130. It is not the gunnersight of the Stryker. It freaks me out.

It is the same image when you stand in front of the Apache, facing it. When you duck, you can see it, (it's a bug I think) from a certain distance.

I know it is the camera of the gunner, or M230 cannon. No reference, only to Ai and Network.

Should be somewhere in here, right? I mean, reference to which .dds I'm looking for? Okay, now check the attachment for a screenshot of the only AH64 .dds files there are in texture.rfa. Nothing green.

Now, you see I did my homework. Anybody got ANY idea?

Thx, in advance.

Well, we can look it up for you or you can look it up yourself.
You want it, you get it.
Look in objects.rfa and texture.rfa.
We're not here to server you, but to help you out a bit.
As this has totally nothing to do with serverside modding you have to put some time into it yourself.
It's not really that hard, just need some time to understand how game works.
After that you can find whatever.

Sorry Urglub, But I was editing the post, just to show what steps I taken to find what I am looking for. I know you are not here to serve me. It was stupid of me not to register to this forum sooner. I am a reader for a long time now, so, eventhough I am a noob compared to most members here, I am not as big a noob as it might seem. I know that some ppl ask the stupidist (?? is that a real word??) questions in here, things you can get without asking; most of it is in the tuts.
Soory if I caused any bad vibes: didn't mean to.

grz...

As long as you try I'll help.
Looks like you managed quite well after a deep RFA exploration.
It was just a strange first post.
