Ok iam don with my NVA skins wen dodec get onlie again then I will get it Releas

But to the work after I starte working on the NVA skins ppl told me they wanna see some Japaneses skins, so I starte looking after some pic's and stuff like that and here is a small pic off the light soldier so???

need 1 thing some Japaneses face's texture

That was all and the pic have fun

looking good, im not too sure about the historical accuracy - you might get a few people saying that its not accurate enough. i dunno if you have done any research, i aint so i could be wrong.

Yould put some camo leaves on the helmet and the uniform to be a tad lighter. Maybe its the laptops contrast but its a tad dark. But overall good job.

Ok i did a update with the helmet and the hat and some new gear...

And RichyCunningham what do you mean with:
Yould put some camo leaves on the helmet??
you mean some camo on the helmet like the brit sniper???

Nice work so far :)

Yeah basically. Have you ever seen Wind talkers. When they are battling the japs in the huge field. Well those helmets are pretty awesome. Lemme find a picture real quick,


http://www.vhpamuseum.org/badguys/images/camohat.jpg

But not all feathery and junk. Get what i mean?

Nice!!!

But DoD Is Set In Western Europe and the Japs would look out of place if u get wat i mean but keep it up looks gr8!

Yea i do have put some camo stuff on the sniper gonna post a pic after school...

But can i get 1 to do some jabe face's texture
if not you just have to live with the face's i can find and put on...

Ehhhhh last pic to day like this???
is this the camo on the helmet you was talking about RichyCunningham???

nice nice

It really needs some japanese faces. Other than that it looks pretty nice.

Yes exactly good job. YOu hit it dead on.

i really like the officers hat and the rest also - why dont u give them the NVA faces ?

faces ?
no Nordvolk face.. wen i starte working on the NVA i tryed to get help(with the face's), after no 1 did help me out i starte looking at some Cs websites and i found the face you see on the NVA so i can see after Nordvolk askeing about that i don't spell that bad but up to you guys if i can't get a some new faces texture then i just gonna put them from the NVA skins on...

good day boys and girls


Ps Nordvolk will like to have you helping me on this 1 you pretty good so you wanna help???

The skin is off, by quite a bit, still looks good.

Anyways, like I said in the other thread theres another mod called Shores of Victory, www.shoresofvictory.com

http://www.shoresofvictory.com/jap.jpg

I know SoV_GI_Joe... but still that is Shores of Victory and this is dayofdefeat i will like to have the Japaneses in dod but iam not that good to re-skin soooo that brings me were i will like to get my hands on some Japaneses face texture after som i can't do it my self i have to ask ppl if they wanna help, i did get alot off replys but no help i did ask you in my Topic (NVA) if you guys wanna give me the Japaneses head from your mod but no reply.... (I know it was stupi to ask)
So if i don't get some help iam gonna do this my way like it or not...

Junior

im just letting people know, this isnt degrading to your work at all, but like people have been saying, just use your NVA face on this one and it will be fine.

Ps Nordvolk will like to have you helping me on this 1 you pretty good so you wanna help??? [/B][/QUOTE]

sure i help u if i can but i doubt i can help
what do u want me to do ?

Sprites flag, overhead, map sprites
and if i give you a pic off a Japaneses flag can youp put the in on a model...

and a update here is a pic off the sniper

wow, when you release this, i WILL make some weapons for you.

This kind of stuff.

http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-weapons/enemy-jap_ww2.htm

http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/weapons-ww2-jap/rifles-jap.jpg

Theres rifles, sub machineguns heavy machineguns, a pistol..and a grenade.

snif snif thx BaDkaRmA158Th so happy right now...

Well I did some more on the skins

new stuff:
Rank (for all)
some camo on the light soldier
helmet so wen you shoot it off the helmet and the hat will be there

edit:
Luger = Type 14 (Nambu) Revolver
Shovle = Samurai sword
Nade = Type 97 Hand Grenade
K98 = Arisaka
K43 = ???
Mp40 = know they did use a submachineguns like the mp28 http://schlex.net/dir/_page/gotopage.php?id=613&&art=5

Mp44 = The Type 99, light machine gun
Mg42/34 = ???
is this what you have think off BaDkaRmA158Th??? :confused:

and the pic off the update

For the japanese machine gun I'd make it the type 96 rather than the type99 machine gun, Im pretty sure the type 96 was used more than the type 99 machine gun, plus you might be able to edit the bren gun because they look almost alike.

For the k43, the japanese did not have a semi automatic rifle, all of their rifles were bolt action

For the sniper rifle you should make it the type 97(arisaka, just the developer who made the rifle).

For the k98, you should make it the type 99 rifle.

MP40 should be either the bergmann mp28(but they used this in the chinese campaign), then the japanese adopted their own version of the gun named the type 100 smg, but either or works.

Also the shovel isnt a samarui sword, its called a katana, just if you need to do a search for google or something.

Well i ty to put the face I had from NVA on this pack but.... well i got some funny errors
the mp44 = no head and hands
the mp40 = and the sniper no hat
the k43 = got a hat...
so iam gonna ask nice and easy plz help me with some jap face's or els i can just drop this...
plz some help all I need to get don is the face's...

its going to be hard to find someone to get these faces made

Dont need to make a semi-atuo rifle, since I think the only rifles of the kind the Japanese used were captured m1 garands...

The skins we had back in the day were just tweaked German skins (for the body). I had a realy well done skin 100% original completed that was going to be the template for the rest of the MDLs but then I did something realy stupid, can not rember exactly, but it completely ruined any chance of using the skin. It took so long to get to where it was that I threw stuff around the house and just gave up on the whole thing.

BUT I did get some fuxing cool looking faces and they are around somewhere at home (I am at school)
I can send the BMPs but they are designed for the older MDLs and so I doubt they will fit on anythig new or customed.
If you want to try sending the MDLs I can tweak them to fit your mesh.
If there is a FTP site somewhere we can up/down load that would be good. I had one set up somewhere for the old JapPack but it went under before we got anything up. I know there are servers we can use for free, all we need to do is get one going again.

PS, I have most of the sounds to replace the axis ones too, somewhere. Hope I can find them again. Some were saved in the wrong format though, need to jump over to the sound forum to see how to fix them again.

d00d, wow, OK, now that I have actualy read this thread, I am getting excited again. I have a lot of what you are needing. I did not do much in the way of clothes skins, but I did everything else. I reskined the faces, flags, parts of the weapons. Once someone gets up a FTP site, I will load all the crap I can onto it. I think the best release was the Beta 1.2 versions, and coinsidently this just happens to be 1.2 again. I hope that is a sign.

Ok BillyNair as i see it we can do
1. Msn (chat) if you have that
2. Schlex on the forum you can post fils
3. FTP site
plz hit me back and tell what is the easy way for you

good day boys and girls Junior

YAY!

I will model whatevers needed. "guns guns guns guns"

Ok hust to show this is not dead iam gonna post a update
I just got some time now to do the skins better, so I did
on the pic you can see the new collartabs (only the k98 on the pic) and the new uniform i did a re-skin i hope i will get my faces texture, befor I get summer holiday...

good day boys and girls

Junior:D

nice work I like how it is comming.

I will see what I can do about a FTP site. The DOD forums allow 30 megs of upload space if you are a contributor to the forums (modelers etc.) the problem with MSN is that I am so inconsistant whith being home (usualy at school on the computer) that I wouldn't be able to send stuff even if we were on at the same time.

Plus FTP you can up/download at your convenience, and everyone on the forums can get them too. I will try to get the FTP site going if you have not already done so, and will PM you the information about it after it is set up.
(then the long process of looking through the 100s of CD to find the one with the MDLs I am looking for. Some are on on and some on others, you know how it goes...)

Just an idea, for some of the helmet-less (shot off) versions, maybe have a bandana or smt with the rising sun in the middle. I'd do it by replacing the head submodels with full ones (the defaults have holes in em, though I'm sure you've noticed), and replace some of the hair submodels with bandanas.

thats a great idea Fearfisch.

Billynair if your face texture look (pic) like this you can just give me the bmp
I have the old models from the good old days
and great idea Fearfisch but can i get a pic off that smt with the rising sun i can put it on the face wen i get the texture...

This bandana
http://users.pipeline.com.au/bobing/Japan/Bandana.jpg
but with this design
http://www.hrtyrergalleries.com/images/448.jpg

Make it a seperate model from the face, though.

edit: My craptastic attempt at making one... you get the idea
http://www.junglemistmod.com/fearfisch/Ihavetoomuchtimeonmyhands1.jpg

The idea is great Fearfisch just 1 bug i can't model...
if i have to do it, it will be have re skin off the face texture if you can do it i will use it Fearfisch...

good day boys and girls

I tried to upload the type 96 LightMG, but it was 175K (dumb that people's sigs can be huge, but not uploaded MDLs)(we need a FTP site)

OK, here is the face for the light infantry.

As for the bandana, they had a specific one they used, and I had it on my medium MDL some where, cant find it, but it was the Japanese "dot" with some Kanji on either side of it. I will try to find it, but my cds are all over the place, and I dont remember which ones had what goodies in it....

and now how it looks in HLMV

well, here is the good question.
I finaly found all (i think) sounds I made for the betas (and some that someone else ripped from another game)
but
what are all the new names for all the sounds that are german specific??
now that steam wont let us see the sounds in the folders I can't just go through and re name them.

I am sure there has to be a list somewhere, but where.

I heard there is a program that lets you extract all the files to look at, like the MDLs, sounds, SPRs, etc..

anyone know where to get it? name of it?

C:\Programmer\Steam\SteamApps\mikkelmuz@hotmail.co m\day of defeat\sound\player

then you will see stuff like this
britareaclear
britattack
and so on
the axis will look like this
gerareaclear
just ger is the axis hope that can bring som light in to what you need and thx billy you were right fuxing cool face texture

thanks for the complement on the face ;)

but as for the sounds, I don't have any real ones in my steam folder, just the ones downloaded by servers like "multi-kill
"Doh!", stuff like that. I think you used a program to rip those out didn't you? I remember hearing that you need a program to open something to uncompile them. I asked a while back and got an answer, but I can't find the post or the answer.
once i do, I will report back here.

Now the good stuff:
I just applied for webspace at the DOD webhosting site, I asked for 30 megs for the pack, but I will not know for a few days I guess.
In the mean time I will be looking for the other crap, including the other faces.

here is a link to a post by another guy
http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=453867#post453867
and the actual files you need are:
GCFScape (http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/index.php?p=26)
and
dotnetfx.exe (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en)
sad thing is that .NET file is 23.7 megs, I wish they would have just included the DLL in the GCFScape file to make the .NET file smaller.

I have all but 5 "player" sounds in Japanese now, the ones I am missing are:
gerbazooka.wav
germoveupmg.wav
gerpiat.wav
gertankahead.wav
gerusepanzerschreck.wav

I have some other goodies like recordings of "The Tokyo Rose" off the old crappy radios, sounds cool, for different stuff, like to replace hitler from the the request for mortars in dod_, dod_sicily map and the german anthem from dod_cherbourg, but I am sure we can find places in current maps to use these.


Here is a flag i found, I think roach made it back in the day.

Ok billy iam lost what is it I have to download???
And can you give me a link were I can get the things you are trying to give me iam a nOOb at that you gave me...

Well i did flag some days back I have some, map icons for the flag you post I found out if you take from 3.1 you icon and put it in for map icon it will show up on the map in the right side wen you play but is this flag better???

Bolth th flags are good.

hmms.

the flag I showed is the wartime flag for japan, the one you had is the peacetime flag, not that one is better, I just like keeping with WWII tradition.

(BTW, flip the flag the other way, it is upside down, you can tell by the writing)

as for what you need, I was just uploading a bunch of stuff I was finding on the way. The flag was something mentioned earlier by someone else, and I didn't had HLMV at the time to up date to steam 1.2 (I do now, and will swap the skin out)

The other thing I posted was a decompiler for the steam GCF which has all of the MDLs, sprites, etc. that we can change.

Once that FTP site gets going I will post all the stuff up. For those MDLs you have for the player MDLs are they new MDLs or reskins?
I thought they were new but then you told someone you didn't know how to model. I like it either way, I tried to reskin the players before and it was a lot more work to look good that I thought. I still want them after you are done.

Could you guys make the flags wartorn like Felix's that would be nice, I also think it should be the flag with the sun rays (the red lines) since it is more historical.. btw that face looks nice Billy, I hope this project keeps going it should be great :D

Ok thx billy did not know that about the flag but if you have found the face texture for the other jap face (k43 and so on) can you then post the bmp here need to see all the faces in game hehe

Good day boys and girls...

Ps I did some work after you post the light face texture and here is a pic

I dont think I have seen the wartorn version, where is a link

http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34503

here you go billy

Dude Junior, the face looks great!


Keep up the good work.
keep up the great work even better. :D

hey BaDkaRmA158Th, I told you it was me ;)

I made the wartorn flag as requested, but the file size is 8 times too big...
I can upload the BMP here maybe, but then do you need Felix's mapPack to get it installed or just the old flags.mdl? I dont know.

Here is the flags, US is Felix's Rising Sun is mine

POOP ! ! ! even zipped the BMP is 115k

hope to get a site soon, I have asked 2 hosts, but no replys yet.

looks nice, I have a host with my isp that can hold 20 mbs I think and I have another FTP I got for two years free but dont know how much it can hold :p

Is anyone already working on the overhead icons, minimap player icons and objective flags? If not I wouldn't mind giving it a go myself.

I am using the sounds right now and actualy like the fact that they are mixed up (one from my old pack others ripped off of 1942 by "Cpt. Higgins [3rd ID]") it gives it a little mix rather than having the whole army with the same voice it sounds like different people speaking.

If you are willing, you can send the FTP username / pass to either me or Junior

I guess just a red dot might work, hahah (as in the dot on the flag, umm ok, i guess not that funny. Just do what every you think you would use.

If you are interested let ne know and I will put them up for download,
two different Flags, overhead icon and hud objective flag, added the two w_gflags plus the flags.mdl and hud idents


http://www.4thidusa.com/pics/jap/jap.gif

yeah, shoot them over, I want to see them in game.

do the overheads need to be round? It almost looks like bloodshot eyes, haha. Kind of hard with that simple of a flag, if we can have a square that might look nicer. Not taking away from your work, there is just not much to work from with the japanese flag.

lookin good man. cant wait to use the models with weapons when released.

OK they are available and The Jap Icon over head is now Square more like a flag than a blood shot eye.

http://www.4thidusa.com/mmodels.htm

However they get used some credit would be nice, thanks

SSG - It looks good in HLMV, I will try them tomorow. (I might use your transparent mask from the british on it, looks good)


REFERANCE LINK:
although these are just toys, they might give you some ideas for stuff. There is a navy, army and kamikaze section that I saw, might be more.
here is the link: WW2 toys (http://www.blueboxtoys.com/bbi/index-page/ww2_index.html)

Nice work (4THIDUSA) SSG gonna use them
I have a small Request to the jap gear
1. I have post a pic with a jap bayonet if some will make 1 like that so I can add it to the model I will be so happy
2. a katana for the mp40 guy, he gut have it on hes left side it's just a idea but a good 1 if you ask me

you can see what I mean on the pic in the
I hope some 1 will help me

Here's a few ideas I quickly put together for the minimap, overhead and objective icons. Let me know if you're interested in any of these.

They look good Capt. Darling
I can't get (4THIDUSA) SSG Jap Icons to work...
but can I get some help on the gear???

all the sprites go in the dod/sprites folder say yes to overwrite the old ones, or rename them to convert back later

Capt. Darling look at the attached for the sprites I want, I like both flag capture icons, the rising sun because of continuity, but the texture on the plain dot looks realy good, kind of hard to decide.

I hope some 1 will help me Are you in need of someone to made the models? then you will just attack them on to the current models? Place an ad int the requests forums, maybe someone there will be willing.
I want to learn how to model, but I just need a help starting. In school we had a substitute that guided us on how to make a greek style hallway but it was more like: OK press this button, now tweak this number, now press this button. Sort of like driving somewhere hard to find and someone tells you, now go left, now go right, then a week later you try to find it again and you can't.


BTW, I found a server to upload crap but ONLY FOR THE WEEKEND ! ! !, I have access to a space on the school's server but I am not allowed to use it for this stuff, but no one is there on the weekend to care so I will put it up late friday then remove it sunday night.

I will post links here for the goods, but what is it people want from me? I have sounds, good for all versions, but the MDLs are almost all too old to use unless you are just hacking them up for newer MDLs.
Let me know who wants what and I will try to get them all up.

.

This is just a pic of the icons I want from Capt. Darling, nothing new here to see, keep moving...

billy I sent you an email with my ftp pass and user id, dont delete anything please ;)

Ok (4THIDUSA) SSG well well i try that 5 times and my dod have beeing coustem snice i starte playeing in 3.1 so i know how to get them to work but still thx your flag is so damn well so I wanna kiss you:p



Yes some 1 to make the models so I just can slap them on the player skins so I will try that Billy, and good you got that server iam happy to hear that, and thx Toejam Football all the help we can get will be takeing with kiss on hes head hehe

Wow, great thread. A++! Never seen the community collaborate on a project like this before! If only Cheeto got this kind of help with the Russians and or we got this help with the italians. (RIP.)

Looking forwards to this, BJ.

Thx Skullz_Vandal and guys I did a new hat for the sniper and the mp40 guy is this better still need some work but is this 1 ok or???

Could have sworn I posted this...you can use this if you wish as a flag if this is going to be one big pack: Click (http://lagcs.com/japflag.bmp)

Thx Felix but it's up to billy what flag is gonna be

Ok guys i did some jap hats here are a pic (update)

Hat 1: the old 1(first)
Hat 2/3: the new 1 i did a hacj job on some stuff i had and here is what I got out off it. Hat 3 is the same as nr 2 I just add the thing on the neck on that 1 tell me what you like best then it will be in the pack wen it's don

Good day boys and girls

I like hats 1 and 3. very nice.

I like hats 2 and 3, number 1 looks a bit too bulky on top for my taste. Are those the final skins for the hats though? They look like they could use some more work, especially when seen from the side.

One other thing, am I the only one to think the japanese face looks too peaceful for a soldier? I found a few reference pics and will try to play around with those a bit. Even if you guys still want to use that one in the end, it can't hurt to have different faces for different classes.

BillyNair, I agree with you about the flag icons, I was very pleased with how the texture looks on the dot one but the rising sun looks pretty good in-game as well (check the attachment). Personally, I like the contrast (don't care too much for continuity)so I'd pick the rising sun for the minimap and overhead icons and the dot flag for the objective icons.

Anyway, I'm having some trouble with the overhead sprite, the rays on the rising sun appear a bit distorted for some reason but I'll try to fix it today still. As for the minimap icons, I thought the "camera" icon would look better with a gray border, but now I think the white border actually suits it more, so I'll change that soon as well.

Oh no Capt. Darling hat 2 and 3 are not don yet but why work on it if ppl just wan't hat 1

If you can do some face texture out off that then go nuts
And will well not face texture but it's the only 1 I got from BillyNair
but again if you can do some face texture then plz do so we can all ways pick the best

And for icons it looks bloody nice

Yeah, id say make more than one face, same with the hats..make diffrent ones depending on what unit its being used my.

Haveing more options is always better.

I like to see as much difference hatwise as possible :D

1, 2 and 3 all look neat in my opinion.

As for the facial expression I think it'll be just fine for one of the classes, not all had the "crazed warrior" expression you know. I do agree that a bit of change for each class is a good idea, I only wish I could help you out.

I'm ver excited about this project, especially since I've never prevailed in my requests for a japanese conversion pack in any of the previous version I've been here.

great work, team!

OK, as you can see in the picture, the "camera" minimap icon is done but the overhead icon still looks like crap up close (even if alright from afar). I have no idea HOW and IF I'll manage to fix it..

I've also been playing around with japanese faces, using them on the default player models, and the results are encouraging, I think. I'll need the model you're using to really start working on them, though.

Right on!

Do you think you could help me make some new aussie faces?

Sure, just pm me with more details and I'll see what I can do.

Alrighty, thats done.

Thanks.

They look good Capt. Darling thos faces and the idea is good but i can't the forum to host them And I can't find a host I will love to put thos faces on the models..
so can you give me the bmp wen you think they are don I will post as many pic's off the models with face texture you did from all sides and all the stuff like that but plz email me or pm me or just post them here

good day bous and girls


Junior

Very nice work so far lads, this looks like it'll be quite a good little pack.

Anyway, I worked on some japanese weapons a while back. Are these any good to you?

Rifles were made by Dead I think but I cant think who skinned them for the life of me Roz mabye?

The bayonet is hacked off the rifle and the Katana is a hack job I made ages ago. The katana has both a spade and knife animation version.

All have the relevant P and W models. Although the rifles could do with re-meshing.

WOOW damn I you show them now but they are WOOW

But I have 2 small Request if you can/ask some to do the re-meshing thos skins plz do so I don't think ppl will do it for...

And the 2. if you can do the Katana and bayonet so I can put it on the models I will be so happy

And again WOOW nice work Ska_Wars

Got two exams start of next week so i wont be able to do anything on them till late next week. I'll have a crack at remeshing the guns though for you.

Ok hope you get what you wan't Ska_Wars I just got don to day pffff hard time but can you take some time off wen you don to work/help out on this??? We need all the help we can get iam still new to this

oh my god i want this

good job, now these are custom models for the Allies or Germans?
I hope dod ads japs soon

Ok a new update on the gear this time it's the mp40 gear the katana I ask for is don is ok need some work or???

OMG O_O

NICE BJ!!!

Soo it's ok with that katana???

Junior, very nice man.
But always keep the amount of detail and "polygones" in mind.
Just dont want to see your jap pack turn into a bad fps pack.

I will soon have a few goodies up in there.

(I am assuming this is like a virtual drive, in that you can not link to it for downloads on the forum, am I right?
if so, this will be just for throwing files between jappack team members, which is perfect until we are ready to release, by then we will find a download site.)

Yes, the faces look peaceful, and I think we are going to need a bunch of faces, so if you would like, make a few for the different classes. In the end we will use what people want. But keep in mind, Japanese people, especialy the men, rarely show much emotion. For a modern day example of a warrior's face, watch Sumo, when they hit, they don't show much emotion (i am not refering to "Austin Power's" Sumo match though)

BillyNair, I agree with you about the flag icons, I was very pleased with how the texture looks on the dot one but the rising sun looks pretty good in-game as well (check the attachment). Personally, I like the contrast (don't care too much for continuity)so I'd pick the rising sun for the minimap and overhead icons and the dot flag for the objective icons. I totaly agree, I think the white flag just looks good, the rising sun is not bad either, but there is just something about the white one that makes me want it. Maybe release both and the end-user can chose. ;)

Yup yup,

hey [BOSS]Junior, i like that Katana, very nice.
and I like the hat with the neck shade, but pull it down a little more so it touches his shoulders. (I have the skin for the old hat, looks realy good if you want to use it)

Ska_Wars -
Do you have those Katanas uploaded anywhere for us to use? (I assume they will replace the spade)

I have released the JapPack vopices over on the sound forums.
JapPack Voices (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35418)
Run over there and download them.

Most are from my friend Hiro, but there are a few from Cpt. Higgins [3rd ID] (listen to the one that says: "BANZAI ! !" that voice is from his pack)

I still need 5 more sounds for the voices, but they are so rarely heard you will probably not notice. ("Bazooka!" is one)

I noticed on the hats picture you posted of my axis-light's face that the face does not line up properly, I can fix that, just need the MDL from you Junior.

Here is a screenshot of my medium MDL, notice the helmet on the back pack (shadow brigadier did this MDL), the hat and face BMPs will be in the zip in the next post.

here are the BMPs for the medium MDL.
they are the hat and face skins.

His head is a little on the long side.

I know exactly how you feel, thing is, that was the default MDL for the face, the DOD team is to blame for that. Shadow just moved a few items like the backpack, helmet etc.

The trick was to find Japanese guys with longer faces, rather than the oriental round faces, so that they would match the anglo faces of the Germans.

Here is a screen of the Type 96 LMG we used in the old pack. I think it was a modifyed bren (Before the britts were even considered for real DOD, they were a pack like the japanese, italians, and russians)

It will not work in retail DOD until someone converts it. I have it up on toejam's FTP site, but don't know how to link to it. If toejam lets Junior or someone access it maybe we can use this MG in the near future.

When this is done this is gonna 0wn!

Ok boys and girls I will like to know how things are now what is don what is not and so on

Yes, it was from a bren, Not sure who made the original MDL, but if you look at the JPG I had a few shots above you will see the model looks just like a Japanese Type96 (I think they were a remake of a French LMG, or was it the Type99) so it was reused in the JapPack

Ska_Wars
thx guys for all the help you have give

Do not worry junior, i am uv maping a type 100 right now.
models made by I_r_Foist.
your not alone out there man, more people are helping then you probably know, it just takes time.

:D

What we need however, is a total list of things.

Whats finished?
Whats being worked on?
Whats NOT being worked on and needs to be?
Whats going to be needed, and is not made/known about by everyone involved so far.

Once we all know this, we should be able to progress faster.
also, it would be nice to have a updated list of things "if possible"

Player models: Capt. Darling work face texture and sprites/flags
Guns/rifles: BaDkaRmA158Th/Ska_Wars and irfoist for hes work on the smg 100 (mp28) and Ska_Wars have some off the Rfiles and stuff like that

Player sound: BillyNair

The player skins is 90% don wen they get the face texture Iam happy to say they are don.
The same for the flags and sprites 90% don. More info ask Capt. Darling

The guns/rifles no idea ???% you tell me

Sounds need 3-5 player sounds then they are don.
BillyNair told me that 1 off hes m8ts will do it

I hope this can give you a idea about what we need and what we have

good day boys and girls my world is just lost now

Progress updated, smg 100 is now done, fully uv maped and awaiting a good skin!

omg youre not going to use this arisaka are you? this was my very first skinning from scratch work...


PLZ DONT USE THIS :o

Apart from the overhead icon (which I've shown you how it needs to be fixed) all the sprites are done. I think BillyNair is working on a few player faces already so it shouldn't take too long for me to do the others. I'm thinking of starting on those towards the end of the week/weekend as I'm quite busy at the moment.

Why not rotzbua you don't like that we use your work or is because off the mesh???

And Capt. Darling iam diening to see some new pics


Progress updated, smg 100 is now done, fully uv maped and awaiting a good skin!

Sound good BaDkaRmA158Th

just wanna know p, w, v all the stuff like that and what about wen the mp40 guy get a gun like the sten how will he hold it???
like the mp40 or like the sten???

And some 1 stop me I did some new stuff on the light guy
iam a bad boy hehe (he got some glasser if I spell it right)
and the pic
up to you, if you like it I will put it in the pack els it's just for me ;0)

it shouldnt be to hard to change the animations around, granted there all the same bone system.

what you would do is copy the needed animations, rename them to say "mp40" FROM "sten" and then once compiled your player would look like hes holding a sten while its realy a mp40.
thus makeing the type 100 possible in p_weap. "becase the mp40 animations replaced by a renamed sten animation"

I have to do this to the aussie pack to make sure the "sten" is now useing a mp40 animation.

altho, this is a guess i have not tryed it, but im willing to bet it will work.

Hmm well BaDkaRmA158Th, Capt. Darling and BillyNair have the skins now to do the rest....


but not a word about my new pic arhhhhh:mad: why???

heheh, alright alright..cool your jet's marine.

I like the glasses, but you have to keep in mind the poly count everything will be, after everythings said and done true it may look great, but how will it run?

I like the glasses and would recomend it for the sniper.
hes the most "not SO played" unit, that way every guy wont have glasses.

thus it would be unique to see him. "OOo he looks smart, oh hesa' sniper!"

cuz skin and mesh suck ^^

i have been doing school crap for the last few days so no progress as of yet, but will be done with school soon.

BadKarma, where is the UV map, I can whipout a skin on that in a few hours, weapons are easier than I thought.

I have a guy with glasses I was going to use if you want, it is just skins too so it will reduce the polygons.

make sure you all put readme.txt files with all your work so you get proper credit when the pack comes out

Hmm I don't thing the glasses gonna make polygons light up in a red lamp...
but up to guys then I just gonna use it for me

and for the USMC you ask for in the Requests you think atfer all the work I don't have some USMC ts ts hehe well you can see the pic in the Requests and now here, i gave BaDkaRmA158Th the USMC and the japs + some updates

Forgot the damn pic

who skinned that type 96?

isnt that a vietnamese weapon?

here is a description:

Chicom SKS 56
This semi-automatic carbine assault rifle from China has a ten-round magazine and is simple to operate. This weapon was more popular during the early years of the war before the more compact AK-47 became widely available.

good day boys and girls I guess this pack as a whole should be called the "Pacific Theater Conversion" rather than just the JapPack then, huh. There will be the JapPack, and the Ausies, and the USMC, all seterate, but togeather could be the PTC. ;)
This will be cool I think.

I have a friend from New Zeland, there is a bit of a difference in the accent so I don't know if it will work for the voices, but if you are getting desperate...

Hmm BillyBair try to pm BaDkaRmA158Th I don't know if he wanna have 1 from New Zeland but ask him i think thats ok with me

but for that rifle I post a pic off, I know that china had a v. off the USSR sks

hmm I think china had 1 too they were useing in ww2 or is that just me???

ahhh found some on it


SOVIET SKS Simonov carbine

CHICOM Type 56 Carbine

Vital details of this weapon are on the line drawing above. Just Click.
Drawing on experience gained during World War 2, Soviet weapon designers developed the 7.62 x 39mm cartridge for use in a new breed of gun, the assault rifle. The first weapon to fire this new cartridge was the SKS self loading Simonov, a gas operated, 10-shot carbine that resembled a conventional bolt-action rifle in its outward appearance.

Equipped with a hinged folding bayonet under the muzzle, the SKS was certainly built to last. Laminated beech woodwork and heavy steel enabled the carbine to stand up to rough treatment on the battlefield, and the new cartridge offered powerful and accurate firepower to a range of 450m - ideal during an ambush.

and the link:
http://images.google.dk/imgres?imgurl=www.diggerhistory.info/images/weapons-recent/weapon-chicom-carbine-sks_small.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-weapons/enemy-_svn.htm&h=107&w=200&sz=5&tbnid=FMnCoWCddAEJ:&tbnh=52&tbnw=97&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3DChicom%2BSKS%2B56%26hl%3Dda%26lr%3D%2 6ie%3DUTF-8

All those are POST ww2 weapons "meaning after wold war two"
the sks and ak-47 are after 1945, all made by russia, supplyed to china/korea/vietnamies army
BECAUSE, japan was its own egotistical leader in ww2, i highly doubt they would use another countrys weapons.

Planes = japanese,uniforms = japanese..arty = japanese, tanks = japanese ,ships = japanese ...weapons = japanese.

even if half the stuff was made from the 1930's "japan" they used. :rolleyes:

thats what i thought cos i know it was used in the vietnam war.

What happened to the other cap? The one with the sheath thingy...I'd really like to see that one on atleast the K43 guy or something.

otherwise, gw overall.

Your going to change the eyes on them right:confused:

but of course. ;)

They say it's called a Type 5, but there is no such gun. Maybe it was on the drawing boards when the Japs surrendered but I tried a google search and nothing. Japanese used no such weapon in WW2. Please, don't use BF1942 for reference lol.

Heres all the weapons you could/should have:

Nambu Type 14 Pistol-http://armsbid.com/images/20762Nambu.jpg

Nambu Type 94 Pistol- http://armsbid.com/images/47006nambu.jpg

Arisaka Type 38 Rifle- http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/lodge/616/type38.jpg

Arisaka Type 99 (I have an original straight from Guam ;) )- http://www.secondeguerre.net/Armes/arisakatype99.jpg

guys in the cival war had glasses, guys in ww2 had glasses.
so on and so forth.

good body, good aim..bad eyes + glasses = soldier.

First day away 9 replys k...
The thing with the glasses was a idea i had it's not don befor so i did it, just for fun but it look good but BaDkaRmA158Th we have a bug did you do the head2 smalle with the glasses on???
plz reply back I did a new in game look after that and the mp40 (the guy with the glasses)hmm how can i say it well wen i have a pic iam gonna post it but did you do the head2 smalle with the glasses on???

that sheath nick thing you are talking about hmm was not a good idea after all it was not looking right wen the head move the sheath was move with the head makeing it look stif

good day boys and girls

Here you go BaDkaRmA158Th here you have the pic look very good on the mp40 guys face

I didnt touch the guy with the glasses.

loooks gd

BaDkaRmA158Th I didnt touch the guy with the glasses

Hmm what can do that then??? and how can it be fix???

any idea on when a release might b posible?

BaDkaRmA158Th I didnt touch the guy with the glasses

Hmm what can do that then??? and how can it be fix???

I got it fix now weeeee :D


any idea on when a release might b posible?

no. Why we still need some stuff firste

okay i cant wait thought this is gonna 0wn!

BaDkaRmA158Th asked me to do a
"sniper scope" for the a sniperrifle
and ill do it just send me the model
and ill see wot i can do

Well mXed.dk we don't have that sniper rifle Ska_Wars have it so all we can do is just to whait....

it would be great if you had new scopes. like the ones mxed has done allready. :D

mXed.dk will be doing something similar tto the others he has done but with a new twist ;)

Once the bolt action rifle's MDL is done, he will be able to get it going.

THIS, is about the best way to show you al what i have planed.

http://dodec.hlgaming.com/filedb/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1082

Basicly rid the weapon of a scope, add a 3d sights, but make the "scope view" look likes hes looking down the sights, but zoomed.

"shrugs" just something new but very worth it.
"jus so you all know, i have no scopes on my britih rifle, and am useing EZ's sprites for now, havein' fun also.

Here is the final for face3.bmp of the axis-inf.mdl

There is a weird shadow on his forhead, that is not the skin, the model has some harsh shadows coded into it, but if I adjusted for that it would look weird in other settings, so :P ! ! ! ! !

there are 5 more faces to go before we are done. I know there were 2 or 3 out there not by me, Capt. Darling has a few started (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=457803), he is also doing the map icons and such. (Capt. Darling, send me the faces and the icons when you are done and I will post them up on toejam's server.)

I should have 2 more faces done in the next 24 hours, the first one is always the hardest.

Here is face#3:

Look nice BillyNair but you still have to give me the link to the server and the pw to get the USMC

i got the jap model and skins i was working on a while ago but never finished off my old HD. if you want ill give you the stuff i got on irc

Mein gott! Give moi!

I have finished 3 faces now, the Kar43, the MP40, and the MGunner. I know that Junior is also making a guy with glasses, but there are more than a few people in Japan that wear glasses, and this is a face I was working on since the onld JapPack. so I added him in too, hope yu guys dont mind. They will have different faces anyway, and they are the least used classes, sniper and Kar43.

Back again nice work BillyNair but that k43 face is hmm yea hmm sorry but I don't like it and I will like to know how the face texture from Darling is caome up and for some off the riflesa/guns????

So ppl I will like to get the face texture (now) so i can get the player models don I got a job now so i don't have that must time to do skins/models so i will like to see this 1 get don so i can sleep in peace thx

Junior

I was just throwing ideas out there for the guy with the glasses. He actualy looks pretty good ingame though, if anyone wants to try him, i rarely throw anything away...

Here is the current heads for the players:
MP40, MGer, and the all new L337-$n1pahK3llar (The class is elite, not necessicarily the face :P)

4th guy, the MP-44 face. 2 more left for all 6 faces (unless i keep that glasses guy).
Junior, are you going to place the glaces on the sniper still? If so I will need the updated version of the player MDL. (did I give you the username and password for the server? dont remember...)

Make sure you have a Type 100 for the SMG.

frek, forgot the picture:

yes we do, thanks to irfoist

OK, here is he final faces for the JapPack of the Pacific Theater Conversion:

you spelled faces wrong in the pic... 0_o

Anyways:
The k98 guy looks funnay, but its an all around excellent job.

I love how BJ's name is all generic but its all: faceses by BILLY NAIR!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


jk, great work

haha i didnt even notice the "faceses", I was pretty tired when I did that.

Yeah, I think I should have left my name generic too, I don't have a sig or anything for Junior.

I didnt realy like the Kar98 or the MP44 face either, just kind of off, even after a lot of tweaking, just kind of weird. The Kar98 just has a bad model to skin on it, the nose is too pointy for a Japanese (or anglo-saxon for that matter) and the face I got the MP44 from the guy just has BIG LIPS.

Anyway We are getting closer to a release...

Well the mp40 guy is the only 1 have the glasses for the jap player models I only need the face texture to get them don and ready to the front

and for the rifles and stuff we have the
Ariska Type 99/sniper (some new mesh and some work on they way hes hands are moveing)
smg 100 (still need some work not sure what it needs)
jap nade (need some to mesh it)
the kartan (if i spell it right) don
the light mg and heavy mg we still need
the flags and sprites dunno Darling have not put a word in the last days so i don't know
here is a pic off how the models gonna look with gear and stuff (new faces will be add)

so this is what i know and what i have, i just starte working again so i don't have sooo must time to work on this i will still be here to see how the things are comeing and stuff like that

good day bous and girls

We live by the sword and die by the bullet: by BOSS | Junior
they day after hes m8t was kill in a figth

Lookin good, can't wait to use them.

oh guys,its going to be awsome.
thanks for the support!

Sorry for not having said anything in ages but I've just been too busy to work on the face skins. Anyway, looks like those are finished too so I guess I'll just contribute with the sprites then.

I've attached the two minimap icons, two objective flag icons and two overhead icons. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make the overhead icons look any better than they did before. The first overhead icon is the one I had already posted a preview pic of, the second one is basically the bottom right quarter of the same flag (looks cooler, in my oppinion). Both suffer from some weird line distortion problem. Anyway, they do look good from afar and I guess that's what matters in the end.

So, unless anyone has a suggestion for another type of overhead icon or can think of a way to fix the line distortion, that's it from me!

Well done.

Eh,to make it simple..w00t.

Bloody nice work Capt. Darling

Sorry for not having said anything in ages but I've just been too busy to work on the face skins. Anyway, looks like those are finished too so I guess I'll just contribute with the sprites then.

for the face skins yes and no plz do them...

and for the sprites they look good in game


We live by the sword and die by the bullet

Alright, i did a new usmc grenade yesterday.
Today i just finished up the luger replacement.
dunno who will skin the luger replacement,but best of luck.
SoV-Gi_Joe will be skining the new usmc hand grenade.

Most models just need a final skin,and some animation tweeking "maby a few new animations to look snazzy"

"WE NEED VOICE SOUNDS TOO!"

MOST weapons will come with v_ w_ and p_'s
as with most of the weapons i make,however..i will not have time to make the p_'s for the luger replacement as my internet will be shut off tomorrow.

Well,best of luck to all on the team.
thank you,to EVERYONE who helped.
thanks to all the people who support us on the forums.

Best of luck to everyone in life,and in game.

BaDkaRmA158Th,out.

Capt.darling,whats the status on the aussie faces?

Hey guys i have a small Request for the jappack or what i now can call it i/we need some 1 to do some re-mesh and work on the animation if you think you can do you it drop a reply here on pm me thx thats was all and this pack is NOT dead so good day boys and girls



We live by the sword and die by the bullet

[Boss]Junior do you still have the username and password for the FTP site?

I posted an advetisement for an animator in the forums, I said any one with MilkShape and a desire to animate (even crappy) just something that works, for now anyway, maybe get fixed later.

Me and Karma have been doing some stuff, skinns, sounds, models, sodacan grenades... (hahah for the fun of it) so we are moving right along. He will be making a new BAR using the Johnson LMG, he says by tonight, I dont know. But his brother has the internet at work so he can upload stuff if he needs to.

I am happy with the current progress of the pack, the USMC are a pain to see in game, too well done i think, and the Japanese with their Katana look sick (in a good way), I love the Kangaroo icon above the Ausies, too perfect, and they look killer with their hats on.

We will be needing more space though, our server is about full, but it has stuff for all 3 countries. I think we should get 3 servers one per country, that way they dont suffer because of overpopulation.

Also may be makeing a johnson rifle to replace the garand,but issues with it reloading 7 seperet shells in 1.6 seconds of animation is almost mind boggling, the johnson rifle could be reloaded mid clip,and could hold 3 more shots.

It can be reloaded by the side one shell at a time "much like a shotgun" but thats where the problem comes into play on the reload,other wise everything would work just fine.

it could do one of two things.

A:"tilt" off screen and made to move around a bit like somethings happening off screen..maby it can be pulled off.

b:maby the intire ammo houseing can pop off, im going to look into it more,as it apears it can be taken off..but im not sure if thats on its own,or after the butt/actionbolt/rear parts have been removed can it be accessed.

if it is that way "b",then i dunno if it can be pulled off.

The m1941 Johnson rifle has a fixed rotary magazine that was reloaded with two standard five round stripper-clips, easier than loose rounds at least. Also, the Garand has an eight round capacity.

http://world.guns.ru/rifle/rfl20-e.htm

Real? so for the rifle he could just slap in 2 5 round clips huh?
it would still be fast,but maby doable.

Because i saw some stuff about the johnson rifle,and the videos showed the shell being reloaded one by one "maby to show HOW it could be reloaded mid clip" thats cool it did use ammo strips tho.

The whole conversion pack isn't out yet right?

Nope,not yet..progressing alright....but we need peoples help..mostly with animations on weapons.

and i still need some aussie sounds so replace the british voice sounds with.

I requested a Johnson 1941 LMG in this thread:
http://new.dayofdefeat.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35548

It has some ref pics inside for the rifle as well.

Great,thanks!

The Johnson rifle can also be reloaded with 5 round stripper clips (like the Springfield uses), and has a full capacity of 10 rounds.

Yeah,maby i can just get it to be animated to slam in two 5 round clips realy fast.

But im going to wait till the lmg is done,before i bother to start on the rifle.

Wheres all the animaters at!?

I dunno not too many of them, only ones I can think of are Sushi, Klown, and Capt. Glimsharp (don't even bother trying to track him down lol). I think Malarky animates though I'm not sure.

laff. /me points at MaRzY, Splinter, and Cheeto

I need to try my hand at it... How hard can it be? <he says like a kid with his back to the 9 foot tall monster>

Alright guys, a little update.

I will be replaceing the bren with the world wide known & used American made lewis machinegun.

After looking at all the machineguns every allie country had to offer...i have some to the conclusion the only two best types would be the vickers K machinegun,or the lewis machinegun.

Bolt look very much alike,and bolth were used by aussies in ww2.
The lewis was used in some form or another just by about every country in the first WW,and alot were used up untill 1942-3.
No new lewis machine guns were made during ww2,but the amount that was already made ready,was upto the "tens of thoustands",probably being why no more were made.

That and the browning .30 cal came around,
a all around "lighter" less cumbersome weapon.

interesting to know the lewis was even used by germans in ww1,who saw the vickers machineguns as being to heavy and bulky,and not that much better all around.


ALSO,what helped with this conclusion,is the fact of animations,most machineguns in day of defeat,have last fireing frames for the last few bullets "so the bullets can be seen going into the gun as the last round(s) in the belt are fired" BUT,the bren.and a few other mg's do not have last fireing frames,so if i made a belt fed gun,when the ammo ran out,the bullets would still be hanging out of the gun/or just suddenly vanish.

needless to say im glad i thought of this before hand,otherwise it would have been very disapointing to have a gun that could never work/look right because the code in dod is lacking with other fireing bullet animations,or whatever.

No animations,no last bullets..no vickers,im sorry.

but the vickers K and lewis are still something that can be done.
and if the usmc forces we are makeing are from 1940-1942-3 we can still make a lewis for the .30cal.
BUT,i dunno how we would fit 150 rounds into that little top drum.

man,if its not one thing..its another.
:rolleyes:

that sounds leet.

BTW i can do you some weapon sounds from The Thin Red Line i u like?

Sound good Andy Whyberd if you wanna help go nuts

good day boys and girls

well the Johnson's LMG and the T100 smg are modeled, beta animated and ready to use. The skin on the Johnson is just a quick 10 minute job to not be black. I am working on the animations for the T99 (Kar98's replacement)

Here is a run down of what I know about:
Sounds:
Japanese- all but a few done
USMC - no plans (if someone wants to stick a more burly voice for marines...)
Ausies - needing voice actors

Player Models:
Japanese - Done? but might be getting new ones from BadKarma
USMC - Done (as far as I know)
Ausies - Almost there, arms need skins (Karma wants new faces)

Weapons:
Japanese:
Kar98 - "T99" - modeled = v_, skins = alpha, amins = alpha
Kar43 - nothing done
MP40 - "T100" - modeled = v_, skins = beta, amins = beta
MP44 - "T96" - p_&w_ are from old beta1.2 pack, v_ is NEW - alpha testing
Scoped - scoped T99 - using the T99 with fancy zoomed replacement
MG43 - nothing done
MG42 - nothing done
FGs - nothing done


USMC:
Garand - nothing done
Carbine - nothing done
grease - "Dual Colts" - modeled = v_ p_, skins = borrowed, amins = borrowed
Tommy - "M2 carbine" - (basicly the M1 with a longer clip)
Spring - nothing done
BAR - "Johnson LMG" - modeled = v_, skins = alpha, amins = beta
.30calMG - nothing done

Ausies:
Enfield - nothing done
Sten - "Owens SMG" - modeled = v_, skins = beta, amins = borrowed
Scoped - nothing done
BREN - Vickers K or the Lewis (comming soon)

That is about all I know right now. If Junior or anyone else has other stuff to add, le tme know and we can either transfer on MSN, MIRC, or figure out something else

How about water cooled .30 cal?

Water cooled .30 for what unit/country?

Hello everyone,my cable is now shut off,but i have my ways.
I have been upto my neck in box's and junk "moveing" so it will be like another week before i start makeing any real progress with the newer models "lewis-type96"

I sent the new jap body along with new gear to the ftp,and Junior.

All it realy needs now,is a skin...and to be hooked upto the body parts

I have run into some probelm while runing halflife in offline mode,basicly my halflife locks up,and i have to ctr+del out of it.

Basicly means i can no longer even test guns out ingame,it shouldnt be a BIG deal,but its still a kick in the privet parts to spend 3 days makeing something but never being able to test it,in game.


"Radio Edit"

Billy nair,Pm me your msn info,i need to add you to my brother computer.
Thanks buddy.

For USMC of course.

Alright, Badkarma, here's the first australian face skin. I've tested it in HLMV on the model you sent me and it looks pretty decent, IMHO. I would even post a screenie but I'm not sure you'd like me to unveil your great model to the world just yet.

Anyway, test it in game and let me know if you want me to tweak it a bit (brightness, colors, etc).

Capt. Darling,oh wow bro that looks great!
No,you are more than welcome to post some screen shots,please do,in fact.

Because these people have been waiting for a while,so i figure its alright to let em see what they have been waiting for.



Only reason iv not show anything that muc yet,is because of the lack of new faces/arm skins.
But now that,thats under way..i guess we can start pumpin' out screen shots.

Oh man,happy day!

:D :D :D



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

BTW,there is a .30cal water cooled made already,look on dod-ec for it. "x2 versions water and air cooled"
but i use the air cooled version of it,with the butt on it."i made for it"

Thanks. :) Here you go:

JUNIOR IS in a bad move so BaDkaRmA158Th have to know we are ONLY 3 guys working and have work 24/7 on this 1 so if some 1 wanna us out so you can move and i can get my life back in line and (BillyNair sorry hes familie), can get my/our life back so help won't be that bad (if you ask me) and as I have said befor I DON*T care about my name on the pack I just wanna see/ make ppl happy again *BUMP* i don't need my 15 min in the light

good day boys and girls

well when i come back from Spain on the 13th August i will start recording The Thin Red Line weapon sounds for you.

TRL has some lovely sounds.

Make a M1903A1 for the default springfield. All you need is to find a custom sniper with the long Unertl scope and add a front iron sight and you're good. Heres a pic of the M1903a1: http://www.thesupplybunker.net/pictures/weapons/m1903a1_sniper_2.jpg


Fix up the watercooled .30 cal on the DoDEC the ppolys are freakin through the roof on it, it needs to be taken down a bit to make it useable.

this is a screen shot of the Johnson LMG, if anyone wants to try making a better skin, feel free. I am learning animation and trying to finish some of these weapons. I'll get the link up as soon as I upload them.

nice, they ZIPped small than i thought, here are the UV maps for the Johnson - um, karma, how are they suposed to skin it if they dont have the gun? (should we send then the link to it?)

the cooler.bmp needs transparent holes in it, remember that when you are skinning it (who ever skins it)

i will give that a go when i come back from my Holiday

Justin Timberlake?

PROGRESSION!


feal good huh guys!?

k, here is the link to the Johnson LMG model

Click here to download nosknJnson.zip (http://files.dodnetwork.com/download.php?userid=37&imagel=nosknJnson.zip)

The maps are in there as well so no need to DL the zip from the above post

You can tell the legs are only like..half legs, during the reload.

Do not worry about the animations used in that .mdl.
ALL it is for is the skin, after we get the skins back,we will put the animations on it.

and include it in the pack.

OMG you guys are my hero's! I can't wait to use the M1941 LMG!:) :) :) :)

-------------------------------
UPDATE:
The T99 (Kar98) has some 100% new anims, Beta anims, but pretty good I think. (I will be reskining the metal on it as well, probably by the time you read this, until the next UV maps are made for it)

Just to let you know, i re-animated the johnson LMG...but i slightly edited the up_reload animation. Contact me on AIM if you want to give it a go. :)

You HAVE to release this BAR!! I will use it, and I'll also try to learn how to skin on it.

This is released, well all but the animations and the skins:

Click here to download nosknJnson.zip (http://files.dodnetwork.com/download.php?userid=37&imagel=nosknJnson.zip)

The animations are done, but have not been uploaded anywhere, so I linked to the one Karma uploaded for me to get at to animate it. It is perfect to learn how to skin because the BMPs in the MDL are not the skins but rather the UV maps from Karma, so they show all the triangles (polygons) for the model in the picture.


--------------------------------
Splinter, I don't have AIM, but BadKarma might. I have MIRC if that is an option. Karma is in the process of moving to the other side of town and so has no internet at night, just a few minutes during the day at his brother's work. The animations are already done, and he wanted certain things like the front hand holding the bipod rather than on the foregrip like they are now. But, the anims are still in beta and we are willing to look at other anims as well as skins. If you could zip up just the anims, you might be able to get them in under 100k and post them here. Or PM karma on how to get a hold of you.

I meant, like, a total finish product. B.t.w, I'm currently skinning with some help. ^.^

Splinter sure buddy..ill take a look = )

here you go.

Re-animated Johnson (http://editor321.telefragged.com/Editor321/Reanimated%20Johnson.mdl)

That is some nice clean animations you got there splinter. Good work.

Me and Karma talked it over and think that the anims we ALMOST have now are more what we are looking for. The bipods moving up and down (something we discussed before the model was made) and the guy holding the gun by the bipod vs. the fore grip.

Here is the anims as they are now, still in Alpha, but close:
Click here to download v_bar.zip (http://files.dodnetwork.com/download.php?userid=37&imagel=v_bar.zip)

Anyone wanting to fix these or make them better, or redoing splinters to match Karma's vision better may do so with no hard feelings.

Splinters are by far the smoother of the 2 (look at my 0th frames, they are fuxed), and if they matched the up-down animations and had the guy holding the bipod while in up mode would be a much stronger contender. Karma gets the final say in the anims, since this is HIS gun.

(I was part of the DOD Beta 1.2 jappack, but that doesn't mean anything now, I am just another guy on the forums doing stuff, I am not the captain, team leader or anything, and if someone does a better anim, skin, what ever, I'll sugest their product get used in the pack to the powers that be)

I don't like the skin... ew.

the sken si ubar L337 !!! !1

WTF j00 takln bout??!?!?!


hhahhahahhaha, I am not sure if you have read the previous posts, but we were looking for skinners for this gun so that I can get some animations done on other weapons. We needed skinners so we released the MDL with bad animations just the UVmap, so people could skin it, but they didn't like the animations, so I released this newer one with more current animations (still in Alpha state) and the skins were there just to cover the blackness, took me longer to load PhotoShop than it did for me to skin it.

Yes the skins there NEED to be replaced, that is why this was posted, there is also an understanding that the animations are not finished, so if someone wants to tweak them, go ahead. My current problem is taking all the animations we have currently (mostly borrowed from other non-compatable weapons, like the tommy) and bring them up to at least alpha state, once they are all in Alpha, they can then be tweaked to Beta, then released to be fully tested.

So anyone wanting to skin or animate that last Johnson MDL feel free, we are just rushing to do as many weapons as we can, and not spending the proper amount of time per weapon as it deserves.
