dekela Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 with australia's involvment starting in the solomon islands, i was toying with the idea of doing a 6-9 mission mod including new adf skins, re-scripted missions, re-calibrated weapons stats and new specialists, based on tis involvement. i was wondering if people would be interested in this mod or not. all of the work is done except for the mission scripting. there are not to many adf mods (except aus_vipers timor one ) around so i thought a change may be due. please post ALL input on this topic so i can guage whether it is worth my while or not. cheers......

egobirchy Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Sure. People love campaign mods, especially if they have a contemporary slant. I hope you have the time and energy to script the campaign. I'm no techie, so can't offer any help in that respect - but will happily do some research if you like, to help get background info for the campaign.

dekela Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 @egobirchy as i said, all skins are done aswell as the recalibrated weapons and stuff. all that is left is the scripting, which i have started. if i need some input or background info ill definately let you know. thanx for the support. cheers...... p.s it will be a campaing, just not sure how big yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekela Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 thought i would post some screenies of the skins i'll be using, the first is the basic ADF soldier uniform. made from different pics i found on the net. it's as close to real as i can get. the second is what the sasr "specialists" will be wearing, made using the camoflage plug in for photoshop. it's a custom jungle style skin for something different. anyone else got any input....

AUS_Viper Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I'm always in favour of another Aussie MOD being developed. But If it were me, I would wait until something actually happened in the Solomons to enable you to base your campaign on a real life event (since 2RAR only stepped of the C130's yesterday). Anyway, if you need some help with AUS military R&D - I have built up a fairly large collection of images and info during development of the Operation Stabilise MOD. If there is something you need to know, PM me and I'll do my best to help you. Cheers. PS -there are not to many adf mods (except aus_vipers timor one )Don't forget about my ADF 3.1 skin mod and my ADF desert upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dekela Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 QUOTE there are not to many adf mods (except aus_vipers timor one ) Don't forget about my ADF 3.1 skin mod and my ADF desert upgrade ooops....sorry bout that aus, i actually downloaded them too about the waiting, that's no prob cause i have only just taking up scripting so it will take a while. i keep getting all the info i can from papers and the net each day. @san, i know what you mean, they are rather different in game though. thanx for the support guys, i was thinking that it may be a waste of time, but now i will go through with it cheers......

dekela Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 ok, thought i would post the mission brief from the first mission. as this is only based on real events i figured that it wouldn't hurt to use me imagination a bit. the first mission is about 60% scripted so i'll need some beta testers shortly.....any volunteers MISSION ONE Name: Honiara Landing Location: Honiara, Guadalcanal Time: 0300 Date: July 24, 2003 BRIEFING Welcome to Guadalcanal people, the island of sun, sand and scuba diving. Now, on a more serious note, the reason we are here. As you are aware, the Solomon Islands have been in a downward spiral since the coup in June 2000. The area is failing due to many factors including ethnic and territorial violence between two rival militia groups, the “Guadalcanal Liberation Front” and the “Malaita Eagle Force.” The leader of the GLF, “General” Harold Keke, is considered one of the main threats to peace in the area, after allegedly murdering up to 50 people. Prime minister Howard has decided to “help a friend” by sending a co-operative intervention force on the request of Solomon Prime minister Sir Allan Kemakeza. That force includes you people, as well as the rest of 2RAR, and members of the Australian Federal Police. Other countries including Fiji, Tonga and Samoa will also be sending troops to help restore law and order. Now, onto business. The bulk of the troops will be landing on Honiara’s main beach later this morning. Intel reports show that Mr. Keke has decided to send some of his buddies as a “welcoming” party. To keep a low profile we have decided to send a small team in advance to scout and secure the beachhead and main complex prior to the arrival of the remaining troops. So here are your orders for this mission. First, leave the Manoora via rubber ducky and land on the South-western edge of the shore. Once ashore, secure both the Eastern and Western approaches to the beach, and then proceed towards the small camp to the West of the main complex. Ensure that there are no GLF militia in this camp and then move on to the main complex. You are to search and secure the complex ensuring there is no rebel presence. Remember the ROE, and be watchful for ambushes. Objectives: 1) Secure Eastern approach 2) Secure Western approach 3) Clear Western camp 4) Secure main complex and no, there are no prizes for guessing wich map i used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekela Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 ok, just to let everyone know, i have recieved permission from yodasplat and shadow2k1 to include the weapons and sounds from their trance m4 mod in this mod. on top of that, arkanis has also agreed to allow me to use his steyr f88 as well . so on top of the flash new skins ( including a desert one that comes with the mod but not used in these missions), new aiming rets, recalibrated ballistics and a new campaing, you also get these awesome weapons. thanx for the usage rights guys , it is muchly appreciated. cheers......

egobirchy Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 It sounds great. I'm enjoying hearing about your progress. Also, I'd be happy to play through a beta version of the mission and pass comment. One point about the mission briefing - you make reference to 'remember the ROE', but the Rules of Engagement have not been explained?

Dan Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Yo good work man Ill put up my hand for a beta test, but depends on size (strict download limit ) I think itll be a great Mod and be a good partner to Aus_Vipers Operation Stabalise campaign. Its good to see more Aussies modding, showing of our top class defence force. ( I wish I could mod, but have no idea how ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dekela Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 ok, just to let people know, Dugite has offered to do some 3dmax modding for this mod . thanx mate, the support is very appreciated. without saying too much at the moment , he has some x-c-lent ideas. as they become a reality i'll show the results. considering that this started out as a small scripting mod, it is really starting to snow-ball , so any one that is interested in it may need to wait for a bit. also i've started to work on a new chr. an australian federal police officer. should be done soon so i'll post some screenies. this skin is a cross between fact and fiction , but it's starting to look ok. also, anyone got pics of some cammo? looking for stuff from nz, fiji, tonga and somoa and png. cheers......

Springfield sniper ret..............................F88 aug Masterkey shot gun...............................M4 Socom M4 Sopmod............................................M203 Support weps........................................Nade launcher cheers......

egobirchy Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 (edited) This all looks great. considering that this started out as a small scripting mod, it is really starting to snow-ball , so any one that is interested in it may need to wait for a bit Just a thought here (I'm in no position to preach ) - I'm sure you are well in control of things - but do beware the snowball affect. Looking at some of the threads on here, it seems some projects become so big that they never get finished. If you keep your original intentions in mind - and just throw in extras if you can - then you're sure to have the satisfaction of your first mod release a whole lot sooner.

dekela Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 (edited) @ egobirchy, i know what you mean. it's not going to bo to big, just that more people are offering stuff to be used. it will get finished, i just need a couple more days in a week. while on the subject of people offering stuff, [GRT1]Kpl.Eli has added his minimi para to replace the m249, and it looks alot better than the original. Tollen has also sent over some great pics for me to use to re-texture the m240, to make it a tad better. it will be renamed as the mag 58. dugite is finishing some new sasr chrs as well, plus some other bits thanks for all the help guys, as soon as possible i'll get some screenies up. cheers...... here is a pic of [GRT1]Kpl.Eli's minimi para Edited August 10, 2003 by dekela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
