I'm doing a COMPLETE conversion of the axis side to the italian army.

First and foremost.

Will it be realistic? No. Realism is NOT my first priority. However it will be AUTHENTIC.

-------------
Already complete:

AUTHENTIC italian facist flag models, Most voice comm sounds (Recorded in -real- italian and mixed with some firing sounds in the backround..sounds cool. thanks to moi.)

Needing completion:
Model hacks (going to take headgear/ect from other models and swap them on some defaults....maybe model a hat or two.) Skins, Weapons, Weapon skins, Weapon sounds, Obj. Sprites, team/map sprites, Team selection.

-----------------------------------------

Ok so here is the deal....I want one or two really talented modeler/skinners to give me a hand in doing the weapon models. I don't want to touch the guns. I also need those guys to ASSIST me (in other words, show me what the bajeezus to do) with player modeling...and help with the skinning (God knows i'm not very good).

------------------------------------------

I am the soundmaster, I will do ALL the sounds as well as the selection gfx. What I need (besides my skinner/modelers....) is a spritemaster, someone to do the overhead icons, mapsprites and ALL (as in **all** even the para maps, ect) of the obj sprites.
---------------------------------------------

I am quite serious about this conversion, if nessicary I will do it alone, but I'd like to see it done sooner rather than later so I am asking for a hand. I want accurate styles of dress for the player models, accurate textures for the guns, ect.....but realism is not an issue...I don't need exact italian military patches, or exact real recorded sounds. We need to make it cool. Fun and 'wow' factor come first. Flash and flare over ho-hum details.

-------------------------------------

Does anyone want to help?

Intresting Idea......

I'd help out in the voice area but I don't know Italian....unless you want me to scream out PASTA for "go go go" ;)

I can speak some Italian :D

Hehe bishop, most of the voice comm is done, all I got left are:

all completed sounds have been tested and work :)

any modelers? come on, you know you wanna give vandal a hand.

Show me some decent uniform and gear references and I might help with player models...

This was done before by DoG in the before time, good luck.

I've been planning an Italian player pack for some time myself. I've been pretty slow about it, though, and only have a paratrooper model partially completed. I'm doing Folgore paratroopers and Alpini for regular infantry. Since I haven't gotten very far, I may be interested in helping you out with this.

Trigger, if we could touch bases on AIM or Yahoo that would be great.

I'd like to reaserch some weapons, maybe you can work some modeling magic? Alls I need is a little 'do this, that way' on the playermodels. I figure adding the rolled sleeves to a few more models, changing some of the longer pants, modeling an italian helmet and a few hats and putting them on, ect.

Anyways, hit me with an IM and we'll chat :D

Yar! I've been researching italian firearms and only came up with a cool looking pistol and some rifles that I have no information about.

Uniform refrences are easier to come by but gun refs are very difficult.

if ANYONE has some fire arm refs for italy, post them here with a brief explanation of what the heck it is please? thanks. :cool:

What about those feathered helmets? Also, are you doing Itie paratroopers as well?

Go here (http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/ClubDJs/Italy_main.html).

I've already compiled a listing of what weapons will replace what for my pack, and a friend is digging up refrence pics. I'm making completely new player models from scratch, but I'm not crazy about weapon models, so I guess we overlap a bit there, but I guess we could collaborate a bit if you're interested.

I just clicked the link in your sig. I'm doing the conversion for the axis, becuase, while italy switched they are noted for their time as a facsit regime fighting for the axis. Trigg, you da man and I hope we can work this out, if not it will just take me that much longer (god knows how long it will take me to figure out milkshape x.x) to put out my pack. Yar. :eek:

(PS, THANKS HALLOCK!))

Would be great to see this work out.

Best of luck to those involved.

I think you mistake that thread for a conversion thread or something, it's a suggestion thread to include Italians as a new team on the axis side.

It looks like an Italian pack will be the first project for our new modeling group, Steel Pot Studios. If you're interested in working with us I'm sure we can come up with something interesting.

Nice, I'm 1/2 Italian. Would be nice to see a substantial Italian conversion.

I have done all of the voice comm sounds and the flags (one of them is a reskin of that cool axis flag by devin kryss)...maybe I can hook up with you steel pot boys...

Vandal will do the voicecomm and the selection images, and If you'd like, I'll help with the playerskinning.

If you magic people can conjur up sprites, gun models, gun sounds and player models we'll be all set :D

I have the misfortune of being both Polish and Italian, so with a Polodian Lancer and Itie set and I can reenact battles of the two most dysfunctional armies of the war. Hoorah!

LOL @ Ben .
