Rifle_001 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Good question I just got the pictures uploaded onto my File Front page you can check them out at http://gallery.filefront.com/Rifle001/ P.S. I know there are not 10 and 1 pistol I will be adding pics (the tenth one on the list was a PSG-1 and the game already has one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WytchDokta Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 If you have sounds for any of the rifles on my filefront page please let me know. Sure. PM me. My Danish Forces mod will have new sounds for all the new friendly and OpFor weapons, plus weapon sounds to replace ALL of the original GR weapons sounds, plus new ambient sounds, plus ALL the rest of the original GR sounds replaced. So I got plenty of new sounds you could use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRP 56 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice. Since I play about 80% of the time as a sniper that sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy_USVN Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Very nice, but the SR-25 is already in the game as well. I'm still looking for a great M21-M25 class marksmen/sniper/scout rifle. Maybe You could add that in as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rifle_001 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) I know I haven't been posting much on this forum but the reason is I don't completely know how to use my software but I have The Gmax Bible by: Kelly Murdock (the same guy who made the 3DS Max 4 Bible) so I'm learning at this point I just need to read more about Material editing and making details with modifiers. So I'm going to start posting some UNTEXTERED and MOST DETAIL IS NOT YET THERE screenshots (my software doesn't render) of my weapons. P.S. if you have any tips or comments post them here Edited September 12, 2006 by Rifle_001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rifle_001 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Because I don't have 3Ds Max 4 (I use gmax which has a fraction of the features and doesn't export .qobs, .pobs, or .chrs.) so if you have 3DSM 4 and would be willing to export to the right files to be ready to go into the game it would be greatly appreciated and you will be given full credit.

Hey, in case you dont know how to export from gmax to 3ds max, youll need to download the tempest game pack from discreet. Then after installing that, EXPORT your gmax scene to the .md3 format. The other thing you need for this is a program called 3d exploration, which is a model viewer and model format converter, you can download it for free (shareware 30 days). Anyway, 3d exploration can read the .md3 model format and can convert it to a .3ds file. The texturing should not be a problem. UVW map your model in gmax and make sure you have collapsed the stack down to an editable mesh. When you export, you may get an error message about the UVW mapping, but it should still be fine. Open the .md3 in 3D exploration and apply the texture. Just double click on the model and set its texture in the diffuse slot. The UVW mapping should remain on your object. Check that you collapsed the stack before you exported. .MD3 files wont read the modifier stack like gmax files do. Important: the 'stack' is the modifiers you have applied to the mesh. eg Bend, UVW Map. When modelling your object, it is often conveient to leave these modifiers in your stack so that you can make alterations later easier. However, other formats cannot dont allow a stack like gmax does. Therefore you need to collapse the stack so that all you export are editable meshes. If you export a box with a bend modifier in its stack, you may have problems. To collapse the stack all you have to do is select all your objects and convert them to editable meshes. As for texturing in 3ds Exploration, double click on your model in the viewport to bring up the properties window. Go to the materials tab and select Diffuse. Then browse for the texture you want to apply. However, you must have already applied UV coordinates to the object as this cannot be done in 3d exploration. (from turbo quid forums) Hope this helps!

Rifle_001 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Uh, Thales100, in gmax how do you delete the stack? Do you mean delete the modifiers, because if so my models depend on the meshsmooth modifier or else they look unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifle_001 Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Finally I've got the website I've been working on for a few weeks, the url is www.rifle001.tripod.com, here I will post reviews for various CAD software, tutorials, and more importantly pics and renders of my weapons for this mod as well as the latest news on my mods (not that you can't find more up to date news on this forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Just a friendly hint here mate...you really ought to stay away from meshsmooth on game models as it bumps the polygon count up to unreasonable levels. A GR weapon should in my mind never exceed 2500 polygons and that's with scopes and accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifle_001 Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 OK, is there any other way to round off the edges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifle_001 Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Actually, SnowFella, I have found that in gmax not only does the Meshsmooth modifier make the object look better but it DECREASES the poly count. For example I took a barrel that had over 200 polys and the meshsmooth modifier took it down to 92 polys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifle_001 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Recently, (as in today) I entered a modeling competition so you probably won't hear a whole lot from me until Nov. 30. If your curious the competition, found at gmax.planettime.de called Project X recquires me to create ONE wing of a P-51D Mustang with full UV mapping, ready to animate, working landing gear w/ working gear bay door, and authentic military colors and if I can find anything an accesory such as nav lights or a bomb that would of been found on the real thing using gmax. Also I know I haven't given you guys much of a say on what goes into this mod and I've been having a hard time with what pistol(s) that I'm going to use, so post your favorite pistol and if you have one a pic. A couple weeks ago I was watching Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel and they did the myth that an inmate made a lethal crossbow out of newspaper, a lunch tray, and elastic from underwear. Now your probably thinking what does this have to do with anything, well Jamie (one of the hosts) goes to a prison to view some actual weapons made by inmates and one inmate made an impressive looking bolt action pistol out of plumbing parts and even had a flash supressor and I am thinking of putting that in the game as something that, to my knowledge, has never been done before.
