:no: :no: :no: That's his spotter friend, can't have a sniper without a spotter along now can I? "

Tell me about it mate! My POS computer just hit 50 degrees while testing the swebat beta copy, no wonder since its well over 35 in the room I have the computer. Need more fans I think!

As Lancer said we are working hard on getting everything sorted. I'm currently working on adding in all of our characters into the mod in an orderly fashion, had alittle bit of a weird naming system earlier as much of the stuff were "work in progress". But with the help of Mamon and Lancer I'm sure we'll get this sorted in notime! Here's a little screenshot for you, find the sniper in it if you can. (god I hope I hid him ok!) Snow

uh oh, didn't think of that! Unfortunately I'm just that slightly to bogged down with work on the swebat mod to sit down and model something new at the moment. Even though I've made about 18 new characters there's still about 15 left to make!

And to go even further off topic, here's a whole article with review of a suppressed shotgun system that's acctually in use with some SWAT units Article Snow

Problem is with an attachment like that you need a bareheaded character to put it on, in other cases things will be sticking through it in a very odd way. That's unless you are sneaky and simply Alpha layer out the part that sticks out, like a helmet, cap or boonie. It will still be there as far as your hit sector is concerned though and you'll still get hurt or killed if hit there. Snow

@SilentNight: nah mate! A REAL car is what I drive around each and every day, Ford Falcon XR8. Unfortunately not a brand new one as its a 98 model but still enough grunt to scare the living daylights out of me everytime I put the hammer down! and that happends alot Snow

grrr Think it's time to ask the wife if I can have the credit card back and join that supporter team! Snow

That they are, came with IT! But it's not a 100% sure they will fit on all characters though as they were made for the IT tangos and not the allied soldiers.

What's RL? I haven't had one of those since this little project got started over 5 months ago And don't complain mate, you get to play with all the goodies we've made in those 5 months before anyone else does Snow

I'd say that depends alittle on exactly where you get hit! During a paintball match against a few of my mates I managed to sneak up behind one of them laying prone on the ground, figured that I just couldn't shoot the poor ###### in the back so I gave him a warning shout. He rolled over and I placed 3 nicely grouped balls among his other 2 balls Add in the fact that he wasn't wearing a cup and was playing wearing shorts (the ######!) its easy to understand that he didn't get up for a long time! Next time we played he was wearing both a cup and longpants, guess he'd learned his lesson the

Well, here's alittle update for you all. Right now the SWEBAT mod is going through alittle bit of a crisis, it turns out that the material Tollen had compiled, compressed and uploaded is corrupted! All of the .zip files stubbornly refused to open using winzip Luckily I managed to track down a zip recovery program and get them open, unfortunately with some files being unrecoverable, just to find another more or less expected suprise. Alot of the material is still "work in progress" stuff that still needs alot of work. It's also in more or less of a jumbled mess. Looks like we have alot of w

Unfirtunately there hasn't been anything new made from my side in the last few days as I have been busy with SWEBAT and at work. Well, apart from touching up alittle on my MP5KA4 from WMC rnd 1 that is, also started slowly rebuilding that into an MP5K PDW. @Swifty, yup, you got just that little bit carried away there mate! We'll try to make asmany as we can but no promises that we will make every little weapon that H&K has ever released. And I think we apart from the XM8 series are going to focus on the regularly produced weapons, so no G11's and CAWS unfortunately. Snow

Well, considderling that I found this after a few minutes of searching I can pretty much say you are right Harrm. Link to article Snow

Well, the lasers you are thinking of is nothing but a really long and thin cylinder textured to look like a laserbeam. In MP games this will be visible to all players BUT the one using the perticular gun as the GR engine doesn't render anything in first person. So the lasers does absolutely nothing for the player but give away his position to everyone else. And lights, the only really working dynamic lights in GR are either on vehicles or the searchlights in maps (as the ones in m_11_pow camp). Even if you created a light with the correct tagging and put it on a weapon the grafics engine wo

Thanks guys @Thumper: I know!!!! Damn nearly fell out of the chair when I saw it! Think my head got atleast 3 sizes bigger from reading it too, thank god the wifes total indifference to it quickly took that out of me though or I wouldn't of made it thought the nearest doorway! @Lancer: I kinda prefer the big old metal beasts, atleast you don't get the feeling that you'd break the thing when holding it as you get with modern plastic toys! @Unwanted, that's a heavily tweaked phototexture, as all my textures are. I really suck at making handpainted ones and every attempt I've made

It's all but similar to a Bofors AK5 mate, trust me I used an AK5 throughout my whole service. This is an AK5 (FN FNC80) Never mind the weird looking thing on the muzzle though, the swedish army issues rubber caps as protextion on the muzzle nowadays, aparently all to many poor solidiers lost teeth from getting struck by their own rifles while entering and exiting vehicles.

If you have either the patience or a decent internet connection you could always download Pain's video tutorials, they really game a great help in getting started! Can be found here Pain's webpage Just look on the left hand side where it says "modding videos". They can be alittle of a pain to download though as fileplanet sometimes gives you errors but just try and try again untill you have them. Snow

I don't think anything really can make up for ABBA! It's got to be one of the cruelest things ever put infront of mankind! I though I was going to be able to get away from it moving as far away from Sweden physicly possible, but to no awail! These crazed australians are even more into ABBA than what swedes are. And here's another litte update, the AK5 C family of weapons have been finalised! The version of the AK5 C we had displayed earlier has had some major changes to better match with the current AK5 CF (Experimental model), mainly a completely change colour sceme (from green to blac

Well, I'm no expert on this issue (I know where to turn if I need one though) but as far as I know the whole idea behind the bullup design was building a overall shorter package but still retaining the barrel length of a conventional rifle. Comparing the 3 most common bullups (Steyr AUG, FAMAS and SA80) to a normal M16A2 acctually shows that 2 out of the 3 have longer barrels than the M16A2, only the FAMAS has a shorter barrel (by a mere 2cm). But all 3 are still shorter overall than a normal M4 with its stock extended! That has to be a bullup rifles main advantage as with a longer barrel c

Well, looks like I'll have to post up a little disclaimer here due to Tollen. In no way are there going to be a pink XM8 featuring in this mod! That was done purely for fun And Lancer, don't think I've ever tried a proper egg nog in my life! I blame it all on this darn nice australian beer I've come across! Oh, and some of the blame has to lay on the scottish too for making their whiskey just a bit to smooth!

Thanks guys I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out to say the least, think 3dsm 5.1 is going to be my favourite little toy from now on! @Ogre, sorry about that mate! Good things keyboards are cheap @Deleyt, the shine through in the mags I can't really take credit for as its a simple texturing job using some pretty high res pics of a G36 mag that I got donated to me from a mate. @Chems, M4's? wouldn't dream of doing one of those mate! And last but not least @swifty: Is it that strange that it's me making it? After all I did do the Shrikes that no one else hanve tried t

I can wouch for that! Especially since one of the privates in my squad nearly gave me a premanent 5.56mm ventilation hole in the head during a live fire drill! The muzzle was about a meter away from my head when he fired and the bullet missed by about 10 centimeters! Snow

try this page Vollmer's Assault rifles There are a few good entries of SPAS 12's there, it might help Snow

Nr 1082 for me. And that's one of the lowest things I have seen in a long time! Wonder what rock the person who came up with that crawled out from underneath! Snow
