[Cyber81]

Hi, I have a Yukikaze Mave Mod from the game TC H.A.W.X, Was wondering if a modder can convert it to use in the game. I'm not a modder so was hoping someone could give it a shot. I will post it if anyone needs it.

There were two different Mave mods for HAWX back in the day; one had all the aircraft animations from the show, or very nearly so (wings gradually folding up with speed, eventually flipping backward once speed gets high enough, etc); while the other had far fewer animations.

 

The original creator of the more detailed mod seems to have dropped off the face of the Internet, along with most of the download links for that mod. That said, some time ago I was considering attempting to port that mod to Project Wingman, and managed to track down a source for the mod, along with a tool that could extract the aircraft model from it. Unfortunately, as best I can tell, that tool can only export the model into .obj format, which only contains the base mesh; without the rigging, animations, UV map, or textures; which left me staring at Blender and Unreal Editor realizing I was well and truly in over my head.

 

I'm in both the AC7 Modding discord and the Project Wingman modding discord servers, and I had mentioned in at least one of them that I had gotten the model extracted. A few days later, though, someone poked me in a DM and said they were interested in doing exactly this for AC7, and wanted to know if I could provide the file. I happily obliged, 'cause this gorgeous plane deserves to be in every AC-style game there is.

 

I haven't heard any updates from that person in quite some time, so I have no idea what (if any) progress has been made on it.

 

Relatedly, just a few weeks ago someone else contacted me, asking if I'd made any progress on the PW conversion--and, when told that I had not, asked for the same files so they could take a crack at it. Again, I obliged without hesitation (once I figured out where I'd left those files, anyway).

 

So I can't say if or when either of these will be completed, but AFAIK there is *someone* working on it.
