The Leaf's Military Equipment Pack

[TheLeaf2805]

The 26th vote result came in and decided BMD-3 / BMD-4, UAZ-452, and DT-30 Vityaz to be made next.

Here are the progress of BMD-3 and BMD-4. Both vehicles use the same chassis, but the difference is the turret with BMD-3 uses 2A42 (like BMP-2) and BMD-4 uses Bakhcha-U (like BMP-3).

Thanks to the previous vehicles I have made before, BMD-3 and BMD-4 were very quick to make. The whole process took me a morning.
Here are BMD-3 (left) and BMD-4 (right) after applied textures.

Also a comparison between old BMD-4 (left) and the new version (right).

In total, there are 8 liveries each for BMD-3 and BMD-4. Here is one of them:

The progress turned to UAZ-452, which is somehow the star of this update due to how many people wanted it to be in TLMEP.

I was skeptical of how it would look initially due to its small size (in comparison with GAZ-66)

But it turned out to look very nice.

There aren't many liveries for this minivan, there are just 5 liveries for it in TLMEP. Here is one of the Russian Military Police.

DT-30 will be made next and all of its progress will be in the LPC server only.

That's it for now, cya in another post.

We hosted the 27th vote on 20 Jan and resulted in these vehicles to be made next:

The 1st vehicle will be Ural-63905 Typhoon-U

I have always been concerned with conventional trucks because they are hard to make. The progress was off to not a good start

Here is the result after 4 prototypes:

It came out pretty good I would say:

And then I realized that the truck should be shorter so it took me some more time to correct it:

The truck has 4 liveries with 1 from the Russian Military Police:

Up next is Ural-432009 Ural-VV

It wasn't planned in the pack however I realized it's not hard to make so I gave it a try. Here is the process of making the truck:

It's pretty easy to make as it's just a stretched Ural-4320. Overall 6 liveries are made and below is from the Rosgvardiya (National Guard of Russia):

Next I'm gonna make GAZ-2975 Tigr, will update its progress here. Cya.

More than a month has passed since my last post, you may wonder what I have been doing during that time. Well, after Ural-432009 Ural-VV is completed, I continued to complete the Armoured n' Motorized update with:
Tigr-M

UAZ-469

BTR-60

Z-STS Akhmat

KamAZ-435029 Patrul-A

AMN-590951 VPK-Ural

Then, on 23 January, Leaf Ploogin Community hit 2000 members, so we hosted a vote to choose the special plugin in celebration of this. After a week, the Mega Civil Vehicle Pack won, with its official name The Leaf Civil Automobiles Pack (TLCAP), becoming the next special plugin.

TLCAP includes a total of over 93 vehicles (and still expanding), mostly from Europe and Asia. Some said that this plugin couldn't be this large and would be a waste of time. To be honest, I also thought that too since the Theotown scale is too small for any details of the cars to exist, but I changed my mind after completing the visualized demo for this plugin:

This is mainly to demonstrate how I can differentiate one car brand from another, so only the front of the cars looks different. But this proves that TLCAP can be a great plugin.
Another thing to note is that all of the cars in this plugin are a little oversized. Unlike the 0,6m/px ratio I normally use, for this plugin, the ratio is 0,6m/px + 2px. What this means is, for example, a car is 4,8m long. In 0,6m ratio, it would be 4,8/0,6=8pxs. Now add 2pxs, then the car length in-game will be 8+2=10pxs. This oversizing is needed to provide cars with details and distinguish them from one another, otherwise, they would look like this:

Here are some of the cars in TLCAP:

Here are all the vehicles in TLCAP for now:

Most of this was done in the first week of February, and then I got to do my military service, so no more progress was made until March 2. As of now, all the cars for the first update are completed (17 cars). Since each cars have a lot of liveries, let's say 10 liveries for each car, then the first update would include 170 cars, which is a lot. Here, you can see the cars in-game, and I hope to finish and release this as soon as possible.

A quick note. I have just opened a Ko-fi account where I can receive donations and post the progress of my plugins. You can come and follow me there and even buy me a cup of coffee if you want. Here's the link: https://ko-fi.com/theleaf2805
