ingeloop Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 hi everyone! we´re some guys working with a southafrican mod that we hope to be able to release soon. the mod work was in the first place started by cobaka, but he could not finish it so he asked me if i could give it a go. as i´ve never done this thing before, i took the challenge. i realise now how much work the other mod-guys/girls are putting in. heavy respect on their accounts! xe_joker and callmehobbes is making the chr´s with some skin-help from stalker. i have mailed and asked for permission to use weapons to many weapons modelers, wardenmac, dvs1 and streinger. we have a green light in that department. those guys have been really helpful in any possible way. dvs1 is making a light sniper rifle especially for this mod. a teaser. stalker_zero has sent me the monster: Mechem NTW-20 AMR!!! everything looks good to release the mod after some testing of course, but it would be even better if we could include a small campaign or something like that. i know that there are some very skillful mission/campaign creators out there. you are more than welcome to join us and make this mod even better. why should the guys in this community/forum settle for anything less. cobaka had some ideas and i also done some thinking about a plot. screenshots any hints, suggestions and so are welcome. best regards/ ingeloop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingeloop Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 forgot to add. the mod will include the Vektor R-series assault rifles, R1, R4, R5 and R6. Truvelo and Mechem sniper rifles. in short a nice array of weapons. / ingeloop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XE_Joker Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 just sent ingeloop some shots of the desert sniper. if they're good enough, i'll post them here. they look pretty good in my opinion, but i'm biased to my own work lol. i can say that it blends very well on the desert maps.

XE_Joker Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) Desert Sniper The Rifleman in the back of picture #4 is a test skin for another mod. Kinda failed on that one. Edited February 3, 2005 by XE_Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmehobbes Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hi, I'm not sure about using the police camo as the desert skins. (This is an army mod!) I've been playing around with the tones of the camo and feel that we we better using the army camo on both, but with the desert camo toned to suit it's environment- it looks and feels far more authentic. (And works very well on the desert ghost town map). I think the police camo should be used for a specialist and possibly AI chrs (depending on mission types). Oh, I've got a Recce chr that is looking not too bad at all(no screenies yet as I've no face for him!) Still having problems with webbing/tac. vests. I've tried to copy the real thing and it looks awful - too orange! I've seen shots of green vests so I may just use some artistic license. cheers and good luck team!

Stalker_Zero Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Like I told joker in a pm...I really like how the sniper turned out. I like how you split the ghille layer off the back of the pants legs. Sorta looks realistic that way. Show him using the ntw. Give him a dramatic pose prone on the ground along a full side profile view. And give him a spotter laying next to him with his binoculars out.

ingeloop Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 a small update on how things are going: chr making is coming on strong, screenies will be posted. weapons needed is a go-go, permissions have been asked for. thanx to all the great weapons modelers, you scare me with you skills map-permissions are under work. contacts been made. things are really looking good, i just hope that the mod will be as good as it looks. of course things can never be perfect, but we´re trying at least. / ingeloop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
