I'm looking for someone who has a pair of replica ACW officers riding gloves (or something similar) - I need a specific photo of them wearing the gloves for a mod...

Reply here or PM me if you are able to help!

Thanks,

con20or.

Hmm, I assume that you are doing this for either a map mod or the binocular mod, but either way have you tried using Google for a photo.

binocular mod

Spot on - but it isnt just a photo of the gloves i want, but a photo, taken from the perspective of the viewer, of that person holding a circular object. Which isn't such an easy google!!

This is the best 'glove, binoculars' combination i could get :)

Well yes, I have heard rumors that your armies are commanded by a bunch of women. I of course ignored such gossip. But since you yourself have supplied photographic evidence... :laugh:

lol, MTG - you have officially disqualified yourself from having your hands immortalised in a must-have mod:)

There's a lot of glove/binoculars action in the Gettysburg movie if you have that.

thanks garnier, I'll check it out if no reenactors are on the boards..

The GBurg still probably wouldnt be from the right viewpoint - this is to be taken from one specific perspective - the glove, holding a circular object, etc.

Here's a jpeg showing what i mean.

Ah, someone looking down into two glasses of beer with the handles touching!

You can tell I'd screw up a Rorschach test can't you?

As for that lady above, she'd be welcome on my staff any day.

I worked on this when the thread was hot, but found it not practical to mod...impossible to pan around. You've got the right idea Conor, but if we can get it coded in and made practical, the view through the binoculars needs to be a lot bigger and just show a portion of the gloves. Otherwise, it would be useless for me as is for it would just be impractical eye candy.

If Norb can agree to code this with limited time in design and testing involved, I'll go along with a large viewing area that can be panned around. But if this turns into an issue 'time wise' getting it right, I would prefer that 'time spent' be used for more practical features.

Gotta tell em' as I see em'. :side:

Panning works - and its a mod - no norb input. Its more for hits cos zoom idnt really as important for free view. back on track, gloves please!
