Thanks to vandal for hosting again ;)

Feedback is allways appreciated. :)

looks really nice!

downloading:)

edit: there is p_mg42.vtf file;)

w00t released! thanx dude

Well this isn't your fault. I just happened to notice something glaringly obviously missing (I have fired an MG or two in my lifetime :) ) I opened up the default skin for DOD:S and yep sure enough it was missing it also.

take a look at the feed tray cover. Feed rail. Very important on a machine gun.

Just an FYI for anyone planning on skinning the MG42 in the future

Nice Re-Skin, Dead! Surely using it :)

It's actually a recolor/recontrast.

Aside from that point, you did a good job Dead.

I don't really like it..I prefer darker metals

how about a release of the "rough" skin with dark metal? i would like to use that.

but maby some one here can answer this why when loading the MG42 they dont lock the belt in place i have noticed that when reloading the MG42 he just kind of drops the bullet in place,
and not locking the belt, it wil never work and will fall out when you let go of the bullets

the bullets are held in place when you lower the cover back down, thats where the feed pawls are at to move the ammo

Do I need to post pictures?

no need for pictures i have a MG42\G3. and fired it meny times

in the ammo belt you leave the two links of the belt free to load.
if you just leave it in there it will fall out when you let it go. you want get the lid down in time.

if you want i can try to take pictures but im not good at that kind of stuff.

i succeded !!!!!! it worked.

so can you see what i mean ??

looking good dead :D

i like how you put it on a pillow. :D yes you have to treat it right.

so you ninja it in ?

well i gues if you hold it tilted and hold the ammo beltthe right place you can close the lid and get it to work.

but here (in the Danish Millitery)we leave the to liks in the end free.

The feed rail was left out due to time constraints. We may add it later as part of the model, no just an addition to the skin.

Ahhhh
I honestly thought the model was supposed to be like that (flat) to save unecessary polygons. I am sooooo thinking old-school. Gotta remember - thousands of polygons are not an issue nowadays.

Polygons were definatly an issue as well, but time was definatly more of the problem.

allso thinks that the bullets seems grey\silver at least on the buttom. ?? maybe its just me

yes had wondered about the rail. :rolleyes:

What is the PC for the MG?

so no answer for that PC count. ??

and Black Lotus, have you tried it with the two free links ??
and is it an improvement ?

id like to see the belts slightly modeled, or perhaps bump maped. also a better skin on them, looks like hell when anykind of light hits them.

yes i also think that the defoult is realy bad
