WEAPON UPDATES

[Whisper_44]

Nice Job there Mac..

I do see that Coco graced the front page with an update, that just means he is hunkered down, putting the finishing touches on this highly anticipated Mod..

 ???right  

[Suicide_Commando]

Yeah Coco definately hasn't been slackin. Out-freakin-standing job!    


Hopefully we'll see the mod soon, though it's going to be worth the wait if it's longer, that's for certain.

[Calum Keen]

Warden,did you get the M4/203 files(the 5500 poly ones!!)?
If you did what do you think?

[Whisper_44]

Just a note so you don't think he is ignoring you, WM is outta town this week. I think  

[Meprolite]

Can you guys make some of the great guns that have got no attention from modders thus far?

MAT 49
Mechem BXP 9mm
L34A1 Sterling
FRF1
HK G8
Mauser SP66
Mauser SP86
Beretta SC70/90
Denel NTW-20

Those are just some examples.  Mostly guys MOD billions of CAR15's and MP5's. Would be great if some of the exotics in common use were included too.

Thanks

I like the name, the Meprolite M4 is one of my IDF faves.

Now as for the exotic guns, if you've played any of our other RS mods you'll find some real exotics, but moreover we always try to keep the mods' weapon lists true to the topic. (check out the US TAC "Arms room" weapons) For IDF, almost all the true IDF weapons are represented, including past ones that are no longer in use. But you won't find any HK's in there for example, because the IDF doesn't use them. This upcoming mod will feature more variety because the US forces use a more diverse array of weapons, and also there will be other allied forces represented with their indigenous weaponry. WW2 era weps don't really fit the theme most of the time unless it's a WW2 mod..

In the end though, it's all about high resolution pictures to build the textures from. We do considerable work on an already high res pic to achieve the desired effect.  If we want to add a certain weapon, but can't find a decent pic, it won't be made because the quality level will not be up to our standard. Some say our standards are pretty high , I hope so! The NTW may make an appearance however, in the latest mod...

[WardenMac]

just wanted to keep the thread goin

[Whisper_44]

Those came out great Mac.. nice job.



Can you do one of these? an AI i believe, I think I passed along a nice large texture? If not I can provide it again.

[Suicide_Commando]

Yeah, those look great as usual. Cobra and Mac already put together an L96A1 similar to the one in the image you posted. However they donated it to the community mod so who knows when we'll see it, along with all the other amazing models they contributed.    

edit

And Mac thanks a ton for posting in the GR.net forum about that community mod. I was just getting ready to ask you and Cobra if you wouldn't mind sending me the models as it was looking like the mod would never see the light of day so to speak. Hopefully it'll be out soon so for now I'll hold off on that pm I was gonna send.    

[ogre_h]

Oooo I can't wait to use those badies!  

[Whisper_44]

Thanks SC, you just hit me in the head with a  board, I forgot that they had already done that for the community mod.  

Might just have to throw a desert camo scheme on there.

[swarts]

it seems like you visited the militarymorons website, wardenmac. very cool weapons, have been looking at those gun pics for a while wishing someone would turn those guns into guns for GR.

looking forward to the mod!!

[WardenMac]

Calum I sure didnt bro, I just noticed your post asking me that question. I never received them or accidentially deleted them.

[WardenMac]

Thnaks swarts, I change the textures some in most cases. They have great pics over there. Ive spoken the host a couple times. Nice guy. He actually owns those weps, hehe. When I recently asked for updates, he stated its expensive, lol. Great stuff though.

[WardenMac]

Cobra said I made that too SC, I dont remember it. Hope it came out ok,  . I musta been drinkin a little  

[swarts]

yes militarymorons is a great website, great pics of weapons and uniforms

[swarts]

i have to ask you, will those guns be featured in the upcoming mod, love to kill some tango's with those models.

[WardenMac]

Im not sure, Ill send the files to coco, he will make the decision. We have many m4 variants this time.

[swarts]

no worries here, i love the M4 in all its variants. really looking forward to this mod.

[Cocobolo]

Mac those are freakin sweet. Make sure ya send them along with the other weps and I'll tie it all together this weekend, bud. Great work. I wouldn't mind using that awc sniper for this mod either, can you send it also? Community mod or not, doesn't mean we can't use whatever guns we need to also for other purposes right?
