migryder Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 New aliens to kill yipee! Like the weps models, having used in AvP2 as well. Glad to read that the "scare" factor is given critical attention, not just another SKIRMISH mod for AvP2. mig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplesuperman Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 kinda funny, how much sci fi guesses right years b4 it happens. there are lots of similarities between the colonial marines and their weps and the modern military and weps. ah, gotta love aliens!

Giampi Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 In case you didn't notice in the news page Streinger has released a stand alone mod called Colonial Marine's Weaponry featuring the weapons originally planned in Aliens Mod. Download the mini-mod here. Thanks Streinger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streinger Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 All the best/revolutionary mods are dropped before completion minus HX. Find me a mapper, a scripter and a character modeller, and the mod might be finished yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyss Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 With such a talented and generous community of modders, I'm sure you could find somebody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Very nice pulse rifle there mate! If I didn't have SWEBAT to finish I'd be all over the character modeling part mate! How hard can a space marine be to make Got the Aliens DVD boxset so I'd have plenty of reference too....drat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP33 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Just an obscure thought, looking at that model- where the hell did all the ammo go in that thing? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 look again mate There's a normal mag for the rifle portion of the weapon in the "box" infront of the pistol grip (10mm caseless if I remember the movie right) and the GL portion was loaded from underneath I think, like your standard shotgun (could be because the GL part were based on a SPAS 12 shotty). Would have to watch the movie again to confirm that fully though. If you look close at the gun you can faintly see that they have used a second weapon apart from the SPAS 12 when they made the movie props, reciever part acctually comes from the old Thompson SMG. In depth description with lots of pics of how it was made! Snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP33 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) Yeah, I was definitely seeing the SPAS12 in the design, but until you mentioned it, I didn't see the M1 SMG in it, though I should've noticed from the pistol grip shape and angle. And now it becomes so obvious! lol Edited November 24, 2004 by WP33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streinger Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 That's dead on, Snow...in fact, the movie prop team made only one "pulse rifle" that was fully operational, meaning that both SPAS part and Tommy gun part were operational. All other rifles had a non-working prop mounted under the barrel. The M41 clip had to be shortened somewhat, so the mag capacity was something like 20-25rd. Still, somehow they made it completely beleveable in the movie! LOL Interesting story goes on, as that only fully operational pulse rifle was painted black and used once more in the ending scenes of Alien3 (remember the Weiland-Yutani merc knee-capping the convict operating the hoist?) Anyway, if you feel up to it, I'd be happy to continue with the mod. I already have a prety good beta of "alien" character, I'd be happy to send you the max.file for further tuning up. And remember the M577 APC? It's also done and working in the game...so all we need is a few colonial marine characters and at least one map. Who knows..maybe we could talk AUS_Viper to script a mission or two for the mod...I know for a fact that this is the one GR mod he'd personaly liked to finish. Think about it and let me know!

SnowFella Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 God are you putting me in a tight spot here mate...LOL As I said...if it wasn't for SWEBAT Id' be all over it without any hesitation what so ever, unfortunately SWEBAT will have to come first though. Atleast untill I have finished off all the models still to be made that is...and that's surprisingly few to tell the truth. After they are done I wouldn't mind getting into something like this though, I've always loved the movies! All we's have to do then is find a map modder, I could probably make the meshes and textures but I have no insight at all into the nitty gritty of mapmaking. Only problem I can see with it is the demise that atleast 2 other Alien mods (for different engines) has suffered through C&D orders (Cease and Decist) from the copyright holder of Aliens. Not something I would want falling on a GR project! Snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowFella Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 well, I was just about to say "F'it...I'm in! Sleep is for the weak!" I'll knuckle down and try to create some Colonial Marines in the few moments of spare time that I get my hands on. Now all we need is a scripter and mapmaker to get this show properly on the road again. and on a side note....the wife is going to kill me for this...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
