I've got quite bored of the STG44 to be honest *cough* overpowered railgun *cough* and the skin isn't coming out particularly well (look at the lighting above the trigger - will need redoing). I'm on the fence as to whether I carry on and get it done before starting other things, if theres a demand for it it's more likely to get done tbh. Picture in sig.

I've recently started skinning the K98 too, the wood is pretty much finished if a bit rushed.

Next up I'll be learning to model (gotta finish my old M14) and probably be doing a Carbine skin.

I've modelled a K98 if you want it.. it's all unwrapped.. just have to skin it :)

Nice lookin kar there too :)

Oh nice, I'd have a bash at it if the file wasn't corrupt :(

Corrupt?

The link only works if you press the right mouse button and "Download As"

Looks friggin awsome.

p.s. I laughed at your sig, I image the guy on the right saying "Is it bad?"

holy <3<3<3<3 thats nice! better than my g98 for bf1918 ;)

Yeah I'm not a spoon :o

"The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

Edit: worked with Internet Explorer, boo!

Looks great. Many of the other 'darkened' K98's are not too good. Will it be possible to remove the sling without a modeling program when released?

EDIT: Hehe, I just realized the title says [WiP] STG44 etc. Strangely, I was expecting to see a K98.

There's a demand for that StG44, don't give up on it!

The K98 looks great, I can't wait to see the end product. And as ever with me: PleasepleasepleasepleasepleasePLEASE! do world models for these, and throw in some for the Springfield and BAR at some point...!

INCREDIBLE. I NEED your k98 xD

Love the wood. Please please keep working on that it's looking awesome.

AND PLEASE KEEP WORKING ON THE STG44. There are no well skinned 44s at all in the entire dod:S custom community. Please be the first.

High res wood textures hurt my eyes :(

I already have glassess :confused:

turn your brightness/contrast/gamma/whatever settings down. :p

Its at 2.2 :confused:

THEN DON'T USE HIGH-RES WOOD TEXTURES

Teehee that k98 reminds me of the one in Red Orchestra Ostfront...the skin at least...

Why does the metal part on the RO k98 look so long compared to the dod one? Is it a variant?

diffrent angle

Originally posted by hobosphere

I concur

Think it would be too much to have a screeny at a different angle? It looks good there, but its hard for me to tell about the details, but it could just be the dark background.

It isn't really that polished (yet) and I'll most likely be switching to Sproily's K98 so it will change :)

K98 Map Pic (http://www.r2dev.net/forral/v_k98.jpg) (Half Size).

Update:

I've been experimenting a bit with Alpha maps on the STG44 (inspired by eSkwaad's Garand), I'm definately going to be including one if I ever finish the skin!

Watch (http://www.r2dev.net/forral/stg44alpha.mpg) the highlights! (4.7MB)

Want any help touching up the skin? I just started working with source, but I know what I am doing...sortof

That would be good FBO.

Sproily, I just got my 3DSMax up and running on my new OS. Your K98 looks great and I'm going to start work soon :D

Edit: started.

http://www.r2dev.net/forral/sproilyk98.jpg

Please model a bayonet for it!

Yes, for the love of god continue on the 44, I need something classy to match your BAR;)

Kar looks good too

Alright alright! But will somebody please tell me whether a green or blue tint on the metal would be more realistic?

Also, should I make it this dirty (http://files.uzitalk.com/reference/shoots/princeton2004/STG44-1.JPG) too? It almost looks like smoke damage.

Great work, but please, continue work on the default model skin as well. That will give people a choice depending on which model they prefer.

Looks sweet, wonder how nice it looks with a skin on it :/

Wow, keep going man!

Be sure to set the self-illumination 100%

Hehe yeah I forgot to for that render, had to darken the whole skin a bit after I'd changed that :rolleyes:

Heres the scope link

http://sproily.bullet-head.net/WIP/scope_kar98k.rar

http://www.r2dev.net/forral/100selfillum.jpg

100% Self Illumination, starting the metal now.

Is there any chance of getting a render that roughly shows how it will look from the view model perspective? All models of a gun look the same to me otherwise.

It would be really silly not to have a bayonet on the K98 so hopefully Sproily will be sticking that on soon.

Read the DoD:S Manual:

Secondary Attack (default: MOUSE2)

Many weapons have a secondary attack option. Secondary Attack with an infantry rifle initiates either a bayonet stab or a rifle butt. For MG's, this key is used to deploy the tripod, while sniper rifles use it to activate the scope.

Maybe we should do custom MGs with TRIpods too?

Annnyway, STG44 skin is about 70% done and the K98 is at around 40%.

I had a go at this, but it looked odd, I'm guessing we'll need a compiled version to get the FOV right.

Ahh, that DoD manual stuff is basically all just a copy and paste job from the original manual. Whoever did it didn't proof read it. I really wouldn't count on rifle melees returning; as soon as Valve realise its wrong, it'll be deleted, just like the bit that used to say that DoDS had contained the British.

I wasn't really implying I thought bayos or buttsmacks were going to make a return, just pointing out the irony ;).

http://www.r2dev.net/forral/k98-19.jpg

can u please tell me how u made ur wood texture. It is absolutley fantastic looking and that is my only trouble in skinning.

Can you make a second release with the ladder sight up for use as IS? I hate seeing them on so many guns, but not being able to use them.

I'm 99.9% done with the K98 now, just waiting for Sproily's compiler.

STG44 might get done this weekend.

YES!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!! but to bad i cant play dods anymore :( :( . it says this when i play the game for like 2-20 minutes it crashes and says

The instruction at "0x39ceba2f" refrenced memory at "0x39ceba2f". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program

Well look around in the support forums then.

*licks lips with anticipation*


*prays for world model*


*wonders about StG44...*

Nicely Done!

So does this mean there won't be a reskinned default k98?

yes. O and tell use when you got a compiler for it and if they compile that get them to compile the other models.:D

Forral, if you dont release this for the default model..... Have permission to release this? is your wood

I will be releasing a skin for the defualt.

Thanks! :D

YAY Thats awesome. I tend to stay away from custom models and just use customs skins. Makes it easier to connect to servers.

Only custom player models and maybe w_models cause trouble there.

Dayamn that skin looks great on the model, release?

got a test compile for ya

Looks like that won't work out too well...

Reminds me of the Medal Of Honor : Allied Assault Scoped Kar 98k

I'd use it.

Looks like a bolt action sawn off shotty!

I should have an internet connection up at home next week, maybe we can get something together and working :p

must have k98 sniper....

The Stg44 in your sig looks nice

Doublepost but any news?

Right, erm...

I've been away for a bit, sorry :D.

STG44 - I won't finish this old skin, I'll restart it.

K98 - the compile I have doesn't look brilliant; the animations look a little odd. I'll try and catch up with Sproily to discuss what we're gonna do with it, if anything.

The B.A.R. w/ bipod skin is finished (and has been for over a month), the animations still feel a little flat (not as much bumping around when firing). It would be nice to get that fixed before a release, I'll ask PR0PEN.

tinfoil

please release the BAR, please!

Weren't you going to release your skin for the default K98?

Will do, "soon" ;).

Also working on salvaging the '44 (http://www.r2dev.net/forral/wip/mp44.jpg).

:cheer:

Looks awesome, Forral!

hey nice 44! And nice sig but I know someone who could compile the k98 for ya

they are all very good at dods compiles.:D

That 44 looks really nice Forral. Can't wait. :)

Dod123, it isnt about compiling.. It's about animations, the defaults dont fit

o srry

Keep cracking away at the 44. It looks quite awesome imo.

for those, like me, who were wonder WHERE THE HECK the pics of the STG44 were in this STG44 titled 5-page thread, here is a more promenent looking link than the 2 character link hidden within these 5 pages :D
