Many of the skinners in this community are gone, Devin has gotten super busy and I don't get to see him very often, same with Trigger. ALL the skinners I was working with have gone, except Blackheart, who was only doing one or two skins, and Rusty hasn't gotten back to me about sounds or skins, neither has Dillinger. At this rate, after I finish the anims I'll have to learn skinning and do it all my own damn self, but with my schedule by then DoD 2 will be out. So here's the deal: I'm going to finish up the anims and find a good web host, then I'm going to stick each weapon and associated sound files into their own ZIPs, they'll be unskinned but meshed, and then release those for download. Whenever a skinner skins one, they can go ahead and release it and I'll pick the best ones to go in the final pak (which will have the GUI, voices, and player models). Hopefully this will get some response and maybe revitalize the community some. If you'd like to get early (not finished animations) meshes to work on, I've got links down below. If you've got something in the works or finished, I'd love to see it because animating guns with skins is a lot more enjoyable than animating guns that look like Fisher Price toys. We can finish this pak, but it's going to take an effort on the part of anyone and everyone who can do work.

Meshes (without final, or even decent, animations):

I'll post up another thread when I get the final animations uploaded. If you've got anything at all to show, please email me at logana@starband.net

I'm always here to make vgui/class select screens/map player sprites and other various 2D things. (my specialty). If you need anything like that done let me know, I'm willing to help.

clever idea, i guess ill try and skin something to help out :)

poor cheeto... this has been in development for a long time (1.3b/2.0b?)... i would help but i dont know didly squat about skinning. good luck anyways!

Yeah poor stupid me. :p I started it towards the end of 1.3b when I didn't know crap about modelling. Course I VASTLY underestimated the time it'd take and figured I'd be able to learn to make good looking models in about 6 months, have em skinned because of the high demand for them, and have the 2 animators at the time animate them all...

...we all know how well THAT worked out.

I got the SVT-40 all done, catch me on AIM for it.

if the player models are done why not just release them now ?
or you can post them up and ill skin them like cartoon caracters :D

I was looking forward to this, hopefully it'll be done well, you've been working on this for YEARS.

i have skinned the knife, the nade and a bit the ppsh

f1 grenade
(looks better in game)

knife
(looks better in game...)

ppsh41
(not finished, i haven't tried it ingame)

i think...
RUSSIAN REMPLACE FOR BRITS
· Brit knfie > Cheeto's russian knife
· Webley pistol > Cheeto's 3.1 Nagant
· Brit nade > Cheeto's F1 Grenade
· Enfield no4 > Ripa's Mosin Nagant
· Sten Mk2 > Cheeto's PPSH 41
· Enfield no4 sniper > Ripa's Mosin Nagant plus a sniper scope add
· Bren > Ripa's DP

· Mapmodels same Churchills tanks for russian T34 tanks (yet done) and of course, somo details same flags and others.

· Sprites, VGUI, etc

· Ska is working on a hackjob of the russian player models...

Bye

The player models aren't done, that's why I'm not releasing them. I've got the basic paratrooper bodys from Trigger and I'm trying to get him to skin their equipment, Devin has the infantry models he's working on, he said he's going to finish them, though I don't know when.

I like those skins, sCk, though I think the PPSh needs more work. Email em to me at logana@starband.net and I'll send you the final anims when I get em.

the russians are to replace the americans :) Russ conscript was heading up the brit replacements :)

No it's replacing both teams, and last I heard, Russ and I were working together.

yeah, there are some complications though, that involve me & skinning.. ill tell you about it on aim..

dont think for a second that i dont want this pack as bad as you, cheeto. i mean, my name has the word russian in it (long story..) im just dealing with alot right now.. :(

Cheeto sorry about those Russian things.
I didn't know what I was supposed to do? Do you have meshes?

Dilli...look at the top of the thread. ;) Those two addresses should help you.

Well i guess finally.. the day to see a Russian pack is closer then i imagined..

I just wanted to *bump* this topic, and to say THANK YOU to Cheeto, Rus, Dil, and to all of you who are trying to put this together..

I didnt play dod for some time now (switched to cs, now switching back) just because i got tired of the same thing (really wanted Russians, and then just lost interest)

I'd love to see this happen, and hope that all of this will work with the new steam released dod.

Thanks again,
Russian-Soldier

i remember doing your SVT 40 long ago lol...wonder if i still have a render of it . . .. . .. . .. .... yep

unfinished, and barrel needed work but here it was...

Quick update, I'm feeling pretty damned sick (I've got a cold that's like some freaky mutated super strong version that lasts a week and packs a sawed off shotgun) so I haven't really done much of anything (including school work) except sound timing. But I'll be releasing the PPSh soon, and the SVT after that. Here's a pic of a skin I got for the SVT (this skin will be out around the same time as the final anims for the SVT).

that skin looks very good.
