I converted this model finally, but it took a really really long time to get things right. I had no choice but to do the depth compensation on these rifles because the foregrip wouldn't fill the hands properly if I didn't. I made a sheathed version of the k98 Sniper for all those who like that.. (I know I do! :) ) I've also enclosed a version without the sheath for those who don't.
Both the normal and sniper versions have different colored wood to add a little uniqueness to them. Also I've included some sounds for those who want something new with their replacements. I really like the default shoot sound though so I haven't replaced that. Credits are in the zip as well as the screenshots.

Special thanks to JAJAHU for making p and w models, they're a pain in the ass so I was lucky I had these to edit with.

SO without futher delay, I present you with the K98 PACK (http://students.washington.edu/jnilsen/K98pack.zip)

OMFGorz so 1337orz w/ the sniporz....

HELL YES
Thank you Bots :) Thank you, Thank you, Thank you :)

These rocks, thanks!

only complaint is, the bolt on the K98 is ****ING HUGE. its like a baseball

but other than that, great work

heh.. I didn't notice that lol.. it doesn't clip through the hand during the animations though, so I think I'll fix it :\

Oooh, ahhhh...

I'm quite happy with the default Kar though. Hmm, I don't know which to use!

100% Used by me!

The skin and origins are horrible. And its too small.

nice work bots, once again you win me over with your kar reskins, etc.

Nice work Bots, I'll probably use this until new K98 models start pouring in, hopefully heh. In my zip the unsheathed scoped 98k doesn't have a v_model, did you forget to put it in there?

yet another example of why bots is the ****

if you have a complaint take it up with polygon, I didn't skin this. And the origins are good, I don't know where you get off saying they're bad. I made the k98 sniper purposely low because it seems more like you're carrying it than holding it against your shoulder since you can't aim outside the scope mode anyway.

Yeah I guess I did... oh well... it's not hard to get the unsheathed version.. just decompile the sheathed version and the take the body line "shroud" out of the qc and recompile it.

NICE , the best kars ever! back again!

Cool, thanks Bots. I'll probably use the sheathed version anyway, I just wanted to see what the other looked like.

Stop making these lovely new KARS, all your doing is creating more KAR *****-bags around the world!!! :D

Very nice, methinks I'll use (not that I am a KAR *****-bag that is... ;) )

my favorite is still the enfield :)

omg, those kar models arouse me... sexually...

this is top quality work.

Any chance of seeing that sheath on the default v1 scoped kar with the default origins, and maybe the springfield and enfield too? Anyone? :/

thank u bots thjank thank thnku.........u:D
finally the ls3 kar really great job:)

wow.....nice job, i don't play sniper a lot but i download it anyway :D

Looks good, gonna give thm ago

good job bots, I especially like the scheathed(sp?) k98 sniper rifle. I just wish someone would do a good reskin of these, they definately need a touch-up.

Not to be harsh but i agree with MOA. You could have chosen a better version of Ls3 kar. Version 3. But i applaud your efforts regardless.

great work. I thought that the cloth cover was a bit bland so i've made this texture pack with 9 alternatives in it. One or two are a bit cheezy bit on the whole they look pretty nice. Enjoy and gj bots. I have VERY limited hosting. I've even had to remove my other images of the faces pack :( it's only a small file so mirrors can't be too hard? :confused:

get them here (http://www.boomspeed.com/tutorials/textures.rar)

a really crappy image but you get the idea. some of them look very similar but thats just because its a small picture

this is sheath 2 i think. It's my fav and looks pretty cool ingame.

Very creative Smash! I've mirrored (http://www.snipa.com/zorn/dod/textures.rar) for ya :)

well thank you so much! I'm glad you like them. I dont release alot of my own stuff since i dont have the time but making other peoples stuff better isn't time consuming and it just makes for a better release :)

well I dunno if anyone noticed but the way I had the origins made it so you could see the shells down in the corner of the screen when you walked, so I fixed the normal k98 version and updated the zip...

ROCK ON MAN!
Thats some fine work!

which one is version 3?? if it was the one with the tiger striped grain on it, forget it. Having a rifle with such exotic wood like that is highly improbable in concerning how heavy mass produced the k98 was during the war. Wood with no interesting grain in it would be more common.

So, no I take it?

wow me loves the sniper

The K98 Sniper Rifle is great > USE ! ! !

Those skins loook VERY nice...


but there is one problem...
the kar thats unsheathed (not the scoped) has an "external clip" showing at the bottom right screen while running...

i'll post a screenie soon...

nice work bots
/me uses

Bots do you suppose you could make that type of origin for all the dod guns? I really like how it looks ingame. Nice MOH style. :p

Well the wood and metal textures on your K98 look really blurry and the origins are bad. 90% of the time the gun is barely 2mm away from the crosshair.

then re-origin it yourself, it isn't that hard to do;)

Thanks for doing this bots, tried it myself but the bolt would go wrong everytime... so i gave up after 50 tries orso :mad:

Thanks again.

Is that a lower-poly sheath, by any chance? I remember my original forray in to messing with that K98 and sheaths... Had to slice off so many polies. -_-

I like the new sheath on the scope.

the sheath is hi poly so I had to do the poly cheat. Just made to seperate body refs (one for the sheath, and one for the gun) and added an extra body line in the qc.. it's not that hard at all.

Would it be possible to release ones with the default origins? I have no idea how to go about changing them :(

From the pictures I've seen, I'd really like to use them...

Oh well :(

Why bother with old models? Day of Defeat's retail models are superior.

Focus your time on making better models.

I bothered with these "old" models because I like them, and because I knew of several people who wanted to have them but couldn't convert them well enough. Why should you be complaining, I thought you left this business. I don't think you have the grounds for coming back and telling people, who stayed with modelling/skinning/animating for this community, what to do.

Bots do the scoped and unscoped versions both have the same origins? If not can you give me the origins to the scoped version so I can put them on the unscoped? I dont like seeing the big ugly thumb on models lol.

Bleh blah bluh yada yada, how am I complaining?

Do you see a render of a new model? That means I left this "business"/hobby.

Thought forums were a place for suggestions, so I suggested that people aim to make better models than to regurgitate my old models, which has been occuring to some degree.

lol dork ls3.

If you didn't notice, you're models are probably better than the majority of material produced by this community.. is it any wonder to you that people are still using them since nothing "better" has come along? I for one know I can't model, let alone make a better model than you.

Damn it. I **** my shorts when I saw Marzy's tank replacment in jagd and I just changed it but I just **** it again after seeing this. Damn you bots, Damn you! I'm running out of shorts! Good job man :)

that sheathed scoped k98 is AWESOME

(ESPEICIALLY the 3rd person)

DoD 1.0's k98k is "better" especially since they coned it to make it look right.
