ok the thing thats so revoltutionary about this model is that it is the FIRST model in HL to use this effect on a weapon model.



I made the lense actually see through on the springfield. The lense looks like glass, has some wear on it and has the xhairs etched into it. There are two versions, glass-sight (AKA ironsight) and shouldered. Comes with the BEST bolt sounds and some shoot sounds as well.



big screenies:
IRONSIGHT: http://dodstuff.houstondod.com/images/springis.jpg
SHOULDERED: http://dodstuff.houstondod.com/images/springsh.jpg

as you can see in the ironsight pic, you can see the cows head through the lense and the crosshairs are also on it. dont judge this model by the pic because the true effect can only be experienced ingame.

and the scope is modelled after a scope in the Unertl Vulture Series.

dl is at my site:

holy **** gj

Hey you swiped my idea! I'll sue :mad: lol

jk mate, looks good, I'll be using it.

Ska

wasn't the first, but gj still.

****, ****ing awesome!

gg you , thnx forgiving the snipers unscoped crosshairs.

(on a side note it looks good)

Darnit Whiskas, I was doing the same thing but at the time I didnt know how to use the transpareny properly, ah well. GJ

Well, since they screwed the unscoped accuracy, it doesn't matter.

i found that it didnt help that much but the effect is much nicer, also the transition between scoped and unscoped is much smoother because it feels like your putting your eye right up to the scope

can someone post a direct link. I can never find the file untill it apears on the top of the downloads page a day or two later :(

Why vulture? They find carrion by smell, not good eyesight. To bad you can't maginfy whatever appears in the recitle though.

now THAT is ****in cool

yeah i tried it ingame , and it doesnt help much at all. Im using it.

I'm glad someone tried out my idea. i would of tried to do it myself but im too lazy lol

Tried it in game and I actually get killed alot more lol Instead of jus putting up my scope I keep trying to be cocky and get them through the cross hair instead, which actually take longer to aim through lols

Good work anyway, nice aniamtions

Ska

hmm... this IS spring wouldn't be considered cheating would it?
*quickly installs* o well... nice model btw... i really like it

Darken up the metal so it isn't that stupid gold and I'll d/l it.

Otherwise, it looks incredible. Nice work.:D

FFS some1 link me its not that hard

well, it would if the unscoped sniper rifle had the accuracy of the zoomed one. but whats stopping someone from just putting an IS garand model or something in place of the springfield one and using that unscoped?

thats the most shway thing ive ever seen

Ska

im giving a go at the axis sniper rifle, but my question is shoudl i just apply it to the default model, or cook something nicer up?

use it on the kustom kar models. Not bots (i dont like his), but the wood reskins and metal reskins and such. And make this for the gray metal springfield.

Use default please ;(

hmm i might have something you might want to tackle then :) plz contact meh

it doesnt work...

OMFG SWEET!!!

If we could get that effect for some map models like cars, we could have glass that you can actually see through!!

Yes, I know it's on maps in wondows, but not on mapmodels.

They didn't screw the unscoped accuracy. It is still one hundred percent accurate while runnign with unscoped springfield. They just told us they screwed it to make us shut up. And to mask the fact, for two seconds, that they assraped the mg.

ANYWAYS. OMFG HOLY **** ASS! You rule whiskas. I am using.

ls3 and poly's?

Use your brain. Sheesh. The model is essentialy a hollowed tube with a "glass" textured model in front of it. There is no cheating or magnification going on here. :P By the way, great work whiskas. :)

ive had several people use it and they said it worked exactly like in the screenshot. that screeny reminds me of what lambert does, maybe its just your vid card.

so what about the axis version?

lol man , if you could attach that mdl file , id use it.

Oh man , i thought you were trying something different. Here youre just lucky ;)

Good job, however I maybe a bit anal on this, but I don't really like your wording of: This is the first model in Half-life to do such a thing. I have made the lense of this springfield transparent allowing you to view through the scope. I have 2 versions, ironsight and shouldered, this is something that definitely must be tried. Comes with sounds as well.

While I'm not sure if this is infact the first model to do a scope in which you can see all the way through WITH the crosshair on the lens, this is not the first scoped model with a see-through lens. In fact, this model was done years before (http://gunshop.clandeadgoat.net/sniper/bullit_scout/de_cbble0003.jpg) the whole transparency craze happened.

I do think yours is a nice inadvertant evolution of the old style, though I really wish you would have done it on a totally default springfield rifle. Aside from my nagging, great work. ;)

actually that doesnt use tranparency at all, its just a trick used with the chrome effect, if you took that gun and made it ironsight, you wouldn't be able to see thru it. CS wont have any transparency support until 1.6 comes out, so anything transparent is practically inpossible with CS or any other mods models. Therefore, this models title of being the first of its type remains :)

Use default please. GJ Whiskas :)

Interesting, I tried something similar in The Specialists

this is INCREDIBLE well done that man, cud u do this for the enfield and kar please?

also when that guy releases the spring with the grass over the front of it, and the sheathed kar, cud u do that too please?

slight thread drift.

I tried making the car windows semi-transparent in dod but before I began editing the bmp I read the tut at the valve collective. for additive, white is opaque black is transparent.

hrm, got a bit of a problem w/ the car then, if we put trans. on it it will all be transparent.

I'm sure there is a way around it. color the whole thing slightly green or somthing. :rolleyes:

it does indeed work in HL or other mods:

Any idea where I can get my hands on that SPAS-12? Anyone?

i couldnt use the default because the scope is too thin and you wouldnt be able to see anything thru it

Opposing Force or maybe Blue Shift.

gr8 idea!

btw, I hope that cow is still alive ;/

Blue Shift. It's in the "High Definition Packs" for standard Half-life, Opposing Force, and Blue Shift.

Sorry to go off-topic again. :o

what is lambert? i have an ati radeon 9100 with the latest drivers and this never happened on any other model... this looks great

kool

thats the sw33test ****e ive ever seen

shameful bump

lol Whiskas

i been useing the ironsite sniper is been hard to get used to seen how i have no ironsites guns but its a kool gj

The default Springfield looks arse in my opinion. The way the team made the front end of all the default models is ass, but of course like I say thats my opinion.

Back on topic, thats a pretty cool idea Whiskas, great work.

High definition packs?

im almost done the axis version

http://blueshift.sierra.com/content.html

Basically the CD comes with a bonus 3 PAK files that just contain somewhat higher poly and larger skinned models to replace the weapon models (pistol, shotgun, rocket launcher, etc.), people models (scientists, barnies), and monsters (bullsquids, houndeyes, zombies, etc.). All the models you see in the pictures on that site can be installed for standard Half-life, OpFor, and Blue Shift.

And bump!

Whiskas, do you think you could reposition it so it's just like the default model? It's just a pet peeve of mine, to have all my models at a generally similar angle.

So in other words, I ahve to buy Blue Shift to get a shotgun model. Perfect. Bloody perfect.

And that has to be the best looking SPAS 12 I've ever seen too.

no find someone with blue-shift and take the model, my mates got it il lspeak to him for ya

Thanks man.

no problem man, im meeting him down the pub tonight, ill ask him to give me the disk and ill find it for ya :D always happy to help.. saves me from getting banned ;)

the models in those packs are amazing
