GoA Euphoria2 ~5th~

~S~ Greetings my friends at GR.NET, As some of may or may not know The ~5th~ Element has been making a specific gamestyle mods (Snipers Wars) for four years now using the best maps from such accomplished map makers as the SK Clans modders, Darkangel, the modder responsible for I believe most of the DA49 mod, The makers of CENTCOM, The DF series of mods creators, The current and most impressive map makers seen in years Tinker and his crews work. and just about any other mods that have ever found release to the Ghost Recon Gaming community. The result has been the Two In-clan privately released Mods The ~5th~ Element-Brotherhood Mod & our newest compilation The ~5th~ Element-Ghost Pheonix Mod (available in pre-selfinstaller beta edition now for anyone interested) (I'm aware Phoenix is the classic spelling of the word but we wanted to set our title apart to narrow keyword searches for the mod online) During the creation of the former mod my first actual map making efforts were showcased. (I believe there was some 5 custom maps we deemed "good enough" to make it in) These maps were crude by the standards that clearly have hit the Gr Modding people out there today.Never could figure out how to correctly tie in trees and grasses to my otherwise decent topographical maps.But in the venue of the specialised sniperwars that we played using the Igor utilities to place so called "artificial collidable objects" so to speak worked as an acceptable substitute for the missing 3ds MAX5 knowledge.IE where within the MAX5 interface you access the helperpoint feature to tag that first what 6 feet of your individual tree trunk so you can export them into the game environment as colliadables and a few other not grasped ideas.Anyway In Igor scripting theres really so much you can do for custom gamestyles that the skys the limit. Now that new and exciting maps are again making the scene (a thing that has been dreadfully needed) it has ignited my passion for the "learning curve" and the making of custom maps designed specifically for introduction into a 100% custom work Gr Mod for my fine Group.I'm not sure if the needed tricks are going to shake loose for us but I would hope that some day we can produce a new era of Gr maps that could in turn be "reengineered" for compilation and in clan modders everywhere.As I have always freely utilized the work of others for our labors I think it only fair to mention to everyone that if any of our maps excite their passion for GR and they would like to use them just go right ahead and do so with our blessings.Theres no ends to what can be done with existing maps and a few scripting wizards i'm sure that if we can resolve the small gaps in our 3ds MAX 5's knowledge base we can produce free to use new and exciting Gr maps for years to come. I wanted to give you all the skinny behind what we are all about at The ~5th~ Element and finally tip my hat in a way that would be heard to all the great people out there that have strived to keep Ghost Recon 1 a viable and fun game long after its release date.The ~5th~ Element will remain comitted to a friendly and fun gaming experience for all people everywhere who play online games. (especially our most played game GHOST RECON!)Thank you once again Tinker for the terriffic work 9MS produces and for all the other clans and groups works I have mentioned without you SnipersWars would have disapeared years ago instead of going strong for four years and running! In closing i'd just like to say that from time to time when we get stuck I may ask some more targeted questions to resolve our missing 3ds MAX5 knowledge so our dream for this era of fresh GR for years to come might come true.Hopefully these forums will allow that to come to pass.Also if there are ever any bits of scripting help or ideas you other modders would like to ask of us we would be more than willing to help.We have disected and analyzed the work of hundreds of scripters over the years and have learned tons.Any way we can help others and get the gaps filled in our modding The ~5th~ is down for it.So long for now and hope that together clans everywhere can get together and play Gr well into its old age. Thanks so much General of Armies ~5th~ Euphoria2

By the way all we are toying with the idea of dropping the SK2 Rapid Strike Weapons MOD and going with just original guns.Only keeping the added map SK mods which are maps only.If this sounds better let me know and we can make that change. Thanks GoA Euphoria2 ~5th~ www.the5thelement.co.uk
