I took a while to scan about for similar threads, but was relatively unsuccessful.

Anyways, what I miss most about the overall feel of the BAR in it's progression from 1.3 to Source is the look of the folded bipod. I'm not at all familiar with modelling and so on, but I don't imagine it is too hard of a job to add the extra polygons onto the default model. If it is a huge job, then I apologise, and excuse my ignorence.

So yea. If possible, a BAR with a bipod in the folded position would be great. Obviously the bipod wouldn't do anything, it would just sit there and make me feel like a god while I mow down the kraut :)

Thanks.

Yeah, I would really really love to see a nice BAR
with the bipod on it too....

I will love whoever makes it :D

I third that, we need slings on weapons to.

too.

Yea, slings would be nice *Calls for whoever first made the sling*.

The problem is slings have to be animated too. Unless somehow you could use the engine's rope mechanics for it.

I'll have a go at a bipod when I get my 3DSMax working or get familiar enough with SoftImage XSI (if nobody beats me to it :)).

Cool, you're a saint. Slings don't bother me particularly, so don't worry in the slightest about making one. A simple bipod will be perfect :D

That would be awsome if someone made a m1a1 carbine with a folding stock and a sling!

Adding a BiPod to the BAR would add SO much to this weapon. Just imagine.......

yeah, more polygons to render. :p

What's the use in adding a dead object to a weapon? The Bipod NEEDS to be active and usable. It would make up for the balance issues with the STG's huge clip and the BAR's tiny one and unreal reload time. It's like the character reloading the gun is taking his time...

Unfolded BAR bipod? So when in prone it looks like they're using it?

Why would you want it to look like they're using it? I want to set up my BAR for real....that and a flamethower

Hey anyone playet ut'04?
They had this nuclear rocket you could get in hard to reach places, and you could get a rocket-eye-veiw! that'd be good in dod, it'd really solve some balance issues!

*ON TOPIC AND NOT SARCASTIC*
I'd love to see things like Bipods n slings on weapons
(unless they look like that Kar with a sling thats goind around, the animations on that are terrible!)

I really dont like slings tbh.....

Kinda weird when the w_model has no sling even though
you have one in first person view tinfoil

Slings seem like too much effort to make for just a strap. And w_models don't have animations, so the sling would become solid.

Anyway. Invaliduser, if you don't think it is a good idea, don't bother posting. Nobody is forcing you to use a BAR with an unsuable bipod. It's just something that I think the weapon lacks visually.


Anyone made any progress on this yet?

Ok I have this:

http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/651/sinttulo2copia1sb.jpg



I need a compiler for this and for my m1carbine (w/sling) and a animator for the m1carb. thanks

Finding someone to compile it won't be the big problem. Finding an animator for your carbine probably will be. There aren't many people who do that.

That's really awesome :D

I'm a total novice when it comes to the whole 3D and modelling process, but what needs to be done before it's ready?

OMFG I LOVE YOU PROPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your probably the only one who makes models and that kind of stuff besides sproily on dods. All the very very very talented people make models for css and i hate it but you and sproily are just about the only ones.

Now thats a thing of pure beauty PR0PEN!!!

I <3 you :p

hehe i like these sleeves and hands, propen.

Maybe u can upload 'em?

Wow, you're working very quickly. Can't wait for the texturing to be finished. Thanks for all your work, by the way.

1.3 style.

Old school.

Love it.

Can you put it on the default skin also? I prefer the default.

Awww, you went to all the effort to please me propen :D

Looks like the origins have changed, is it just me?

0k, more updates

-reworked bipod body
-new uv map (very ugly)
-added more details


have some bugs yet but i CAN fix them.
I think that I can put a strap but.........I need an animator....

EDITED

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/866/pre21nt.jpg

you should try to make the sling not like bent more rounded and smooth.

Loving the sling, it takes the default, and makes it soo much better!
I love details like that, and good job propen, i like to see you working hard!

Y'know what'd be cool?

Bipods affected by physics!

Skinning the bipod to match my B.A.R. now, I hope I can catch PR0PEN on MSN soon for any more UV updates :D.

Excellent stuff. Any idea when it's all gonna be finished?

HANDS BUGS FIXED

Nearly done.

Lol PR0PEN, over 200fps? Maybe you should limit it with fps_max :P

Beautiful. I can't thank you enough!

Can you seriously please do the same thing with the default?

Close enough?

Same skin, changed the tint colour (default is greenish), also changed the brightness and contrast. Lowering the resolution would probably make it fit better too.

http://www.r2dev.net/forral/barbipoddefault.jpg

yea, thanks a bunch

is what you should do is make the bipod down and get a good animater so when you walk it will like move around. If youve played battlefeild 2(animations are the fecking best!!!) the bipod on some of the guns are down and when you walk the slide around and stuff.

We can dream, I havn't seen an animator around these parts for a while.

You can make world models w/ bipods right? If not there is no point to this.

Sorry, I dont know how make w_models...

PLEASE release this, i want as many usless add ons as possible!

I'm itching to try it out. It's looking so good :)

It would only take a little bit of animating if it isnt done already, but what if the bipod moved with recoil/reload anims?

thats what i wanted to see, too. :D

Inclusion of a w_model is not important. Please, please release the v_model because it looks amazing :)

Now THIS I like. A custom model with something subtatially different from the defaults, yet at the same time very historically accurate!

I'll get the skins sent to PR0PEN asap so he can make the release.

Something seems to have gone funny in the compile I have, the shoot animation is a lot less bouncy and it actually makes it feel like there is less recoil. I guess you could say it's the added bipod weight :rolleyes:.

I can't imagine compiling a world model would be too difficult: hack on the bipod from the view model, twist and turn and scale to fit, tell it to use a lower res texture and then compile with the original BAR physics model. Shame that a world model skin isn't available for Forral's BAR anyway (hint hint? :) )

But yet the view model looks great. I can't wait to try it.

That's actually kinda cool. Let's all go poke PR0PEN so we can get this thing finished off :p

any news? id hate for this project to drop off into the doom and death that is page 2

Man as much as I don't like useless attachments, I gotta say, that looks really good. Nice work so far.:)

PR0PEN is still waiting for Forral to fix a bug in the skin. I PMed Forral yesterday for a progress report but he hasn't got back to me.

I just started a new job and I've been a bit ill, sorry :p

All finished, PR0PEN has it.

No probs. Hope you're feeling better now.

I don't want this thread to die, so near to completion.

I understand PR0PEN has been busy, but tbh I'd accept the BAR as it is, bugs or not.

BAR W/BIPOD DEFAULT SKIN FINISHED



http://img473.imageshack.us/img473/8629/df8vw.jpg


waiting to Forrals skin for Release ;)

Looks brilliant!

Although this is one model that I can't forgive you and Forral for if there's no world model for it...

Sorry PR0PEN I've been working 11 hours a day for two weeks, going back to part-time on the 3rd. :rolleyes:

Hope to catch you on MSN soon, I'll be adding an alpha map and making a few skin edits (it's pretty much going to be a v2) aswell if you don't mind.

How's this going? Almost there?

is this going to complete soon??

One question and I'll dl immediatly either way, but is the bipod animated?

Come on PROPEN, stop being lazy and release this!

patience is everything i guess

Seriously what's the status on this thing, there's only so many pairs of underwear I can change into before I soil all of 'em.

As far as I've gathered, PR0PEN wants to use a second skin on the bipodded BAR, having finished it with the default skin.

I'd just be happy to see it with the default skin. PR0PEN must be busy or something...

As far as a world model goes, where does PR0PEN stand on that? Or is that a no go? I really don't mind either way.

FTW??¿¿

i can't wait any longer!! I'm having dreams saying over and over BAR BAR BAR BAR!

I did send PR0PEN another pm a couple of days ago. Awaiting a response.

Poor guy, he must think I'm stalking him or something.

I'm not sure why it hasn't been released yet, there was just one part where the skin was too bright as far as I could tell.

Hopefully I'll catch up with PR0PEN soon.

oooo can't wait!

1st, 2nd, 3rd posters all binned and then Sid James to boot!!!! :p

That's gotta be a record, I'm saving a screenie of the page for future reference. :D

Is there any hope for this project, or should we just give up on it?

Never give up, it will happen(cross' fingers)

Oh Welshy, you just HAD to bring it up did'nt you? Just when i had forgotten about the sweetness that this would have been....

Whats the situation?

Somebody wants a folded Bipod on the BAR?

Any particular bipod or bar base?

Let me know and i could have it for today...

folded i think :D

Let me know and i could have it for today... Well it was a folded bipod. It looked done. It was fully skinned. Then suddenly it just dissapeared off the planet. I think the ran into compiling problems or something like that.

Ok, basically here is my request:

The current BAR model doesn't have a bipod, which is something I miss from the old DoD 1.3 model. So I asked if a folded up version of the bipod just be attached to the default model. It didn't have to do anything, it would just be there for looks.

If you would be willing to take a bash at this I would be forever grateful. PR0PEN started modelling, and to all effects, he and Forral finished and skinned the model, but it never got released.

So there you go. Please have a go if you could :)

I was also following this release because there was a default bar version being made. My cards not great, so i was stoked about that...

I just wish Propen would come out and tell us why he hasn't released it, I mean I see him posting on here quite often. It wouldn't hurt him to give us an update... oh well.

Before you n00bs complain about FOV or crap of the like, take a look from a different angle, and know, that I'm not making it any smaller :)

You guys like it?

Hey Editor, guess who?

Haha, it's me Shoes from the DoDCC forums.

Heh, anyway just wanna say nice job again. I just don't think the iron sight should be upright like that. Otherwise this thing looks pretty tight, when do you plan on releasing?

nice i would get it with the ironsight but would look better without, nice job

zomg the fov is total garbage.:rolleyes:

Editor, I love it. Not so fond of the Iron Sight but the bipod is tight. I agree with Staker, I would use it if you released it as it is, but I would prefer it without the IS.

Thanks for the quick response :)

lol i like the iron sight! And I hate the fov crap valve put in. They should have in the opitions to turn it off. Thank god for you editor 123 and kiminio or whatever for these awsome models/compiles for dods!!

yeah, whats FOV?
