Odst Weta Landfall Ver. Pep Armor By Skg & Crew

[Ruze789]

@fightstar and anyone else who needs to change the scale:

All of the smaller packs and such are based around the main torso piece. Meaning, the size of them will vary depending on the size you make your torso.
**Which means that you must make the proper size torso for yourself first.** Don't try to skip ahead.

Once you build your torso and are happy with the scale, that is when you'll resize all the packs.

So open the torso file, open the Scale Up/ Down Development by Specifying Value box. This will give you the Assembled Size (Height) in cm. It will also give you the scale number below that. Belakor's default one will show up as 23.785851.

Just copy and paste that number into that same Scale box in all the other small packs, and you'll end up with the torso armor that has the proportion it was designed at.

I'm not sure if anyone covered the math for this yet or not, but here it is if not. It's basically what you find in most of the scaling threads, but I laided it out here for anyone that's confused. The following is for Belakor's files only as far as I know.

Belakor's Height = 5'11" = 71" = 100% Scale

Personal Height(Mine for example) = 6'0" = 72"

Proportions of my height to his... 72/71 = x/100 (x is percent you'll need to adjust the current scale)

(72/71)*100 = x = 101% or 1.01 (I rounded)

This percent is to be multiplied by the number you find in the "Scale Up/Down Development by Specifying Value" box Ruze was talking about.

23.785851*1.01(use the decimal percentage value) = 24.02370951

24.02370951 is your scale value and should be used as Ruze described.

Here ends the math lesson.

Hope it helps...

That's because they're compressed .rar files. Download WinRAR so that you can decompress the pdo files. WinRAR is far superior to WinZip.

Kewl thanks. Sry for the n00b question here, but it had to be asked. So really it's best to start with the Chest Piece/Neck ring deal and see if that fits. Everything else should fall in place from there. So I will print that one out first and step my way through this. Lucky me I am 5'11", however my head is more like the scale for someone who is 6'11" LOL.

I guess I will figure out how the packs attach to one another as I go along. Also the Chest piece will need some padding on the inside of that to rest on the shoulders. I'm sure some cloth sewn in a pillow case kind of style the stuffed with foam would work, but there are probably some other better ideas out there. Hope to hear them.

In Windows, yes, you have to download and install something to get it open.

 

[Skullcandy Girl]

No worries Spartan, they did a proper job hiding the freeware for the .rar. I can see how it can be a pain in the ass. I don't like .zip, but I'll put something up for ya soon. Guess I'll tap my unlimited bandwidth and file transfer on my site now haha.

 

[mooseguy04]

thanks, my comp wont download WInRAR either, so when you get those up I'll be a very happy moose

I use 7-zip for all my compressing/decompressing needs. the best part about it, and whats better than winrar, is that it doesn't pester you after 30 days to register. 7-zip is completely free! Also, awsome job on the ODST!

[Skullcandy Girl]
