As a fun thing to do for a friend I added Skeletal parts to all the default DoD models to create an army of Skeleton soldiers... There is a pack for the Axis-inf, Axis-para, Brit-inf, US-inf, and US-para... They're nothing too fancy, but they look cool ingame ...

Those look cool, maybe you could add some blood and guts to them turn them into zombie soldiers

lmao these look very good & cool :D

i want

those look nice. I can't wait to give them a try :)

Zupa dupa

ZUZU will love these. Nice work.

Not at all necessary, but I have to say you did a good job. I like the unmittened hands.

EDIT: ok.. working link to download spot in first post...


...

holy **** gj

dling when i get home :)

ZUZU will LOVE you!


Cool!

Instead of blood and guts maybe you could rip up and dirty the clothes. give them that just came outta the ground look. If any of you have seen that cartoon Heavy Metal it had a scene with exactly this type of thing.

I mostly play DOD at night in the AM in my dark room. no way in hell I'm downloadin' freakin' skeletons.

All we need now are skeleton trenchcoat axis! Nice models btw

UPDATED 6/10/03

** Nothing Major.. just added moving mouths to them ... Kind of creepy to see the Skeleton yappin' his jaw when your teammate is talking ***

Link in first post will take you back to the site...

part of it is from some free stuff I found on the internet for 3DSMAX, and the other part is credited in the "Read Me" ...

"Army of Darkness DOD" mod

I'll have a go at them this weekend.. I was just waiting for Devin Kryss' approval to use his models... He was kind enough to say "yes" so I can get started...


ZUZU... Thanks man that is really cool..


...

Cool, Effexx. I certainly hope he gives you the go ahead on this.

Cant wait

Hey ZuZu, this is great man. Really creepy. Someone should do a dark, creepy map of some sorts. Then use the fog effect. If effexx can do the undead trenchcoat dudes, then they would be great for that.

Sixth Army revived or something. I don't know. But this damned cool :D

OK.. I have the Trenchcoats with Skeleton parts done... sort of.. Here's the deal... I like the effect of the helmet flying off during a headshot, but Devin's pack had permanent helmets... So I hackjobbed it some more to have separate helmets... I noticed the there are 3 different helmet styles, and 6 different body styles... The problem I'm having is matching up the proper helmets with the proper body type... Is there a trick to editing the .QC so the proper helmet matches up with the right body??? Example... the Sniper never has his Sniper helmet, and the Stosstruppe never gets the helmet with the chinstrap up... I thought, at first, it was a simple matter of matching the helmet with the body line for line but that doesn't work.. Anyone?? I'd really like to keep the removable helmets...

here's what it looks like now..

// reference meshes
$bodygroup body
{
studio "axis_k98_ref"
studio "axis_k43_ref"
studio "axis_medium_ref2"
studio "axis_heavy_ref"
studio "axis_mg_ref"
studio "axis_sniper_ref"
}
$bodygroup helmet
{
studio "Axis-Helmet"
studio "Axis-K43Helmet"
studio "Axis-SniperHelmet"
blank
blank
blank
blank
blank
}
$bodygroup head
{
studio "Axis-Head0"
studio "Axis-Head0"
studio "Axis-Head0"
studio "Axis-Head0"
studio "Axis-Head0"
studio "Axis-Head0"
blank
}


any thoughts will be appreciated... thanks..


...

Way over my head. Sorry, lol.

Surely someone else could help though.. right?

Yah damn right someone can help.

Ok, heres the deal Effex. LIke you pointed out, there are 4 styles of headgear for SSv4, hat, helmet, chinstrap up helm, and sniper helm. The default has only 2 style,s hat and helm. The Defaults have a bunch of hair modles too. when you shoot a guy in the head, it changes the submodle from the helemt/hat to a specific har model. the hair to match the head model its using. So, you cant use all 4 of the headgear types from SSv4. Gotta pick 2. Just use what the default qc file gives yah if you want to see flying headgear. And hey, ever consider making the skull fly off with the helmets by putting them into the submodel for headgear?

Alright! Hopefuly this will now mean a quick and expediant release of them ^_^

Ok.. that sort of sucks about only getting to use 2 styles of helmets, but at the same time you have given me a couple ideas... I could permanently mount the proper helmet to the proper player body as the head model.. Then when a headshot occurs the entire head is instantly replaced by the appropriate "hair" which would actually be a hairless skull to match the one that is gone... it would be seamless and invisible to the player that way, and still pull off the effect I want.. Damn.. I just got to work, and can't wait to get home to test this out.. Thanks again Devin...


Sit tight Wren.. almost done...


...

good stuff!

Sweet. Can't wait. So close, I can smell it ^_^

Ok Wren & ZUZU... here ya go...

I had to compromise on the helmet issue a little.. My earlier idea didn't work as planned (see above)... As is the case, the Medium, and Sniper helmets do not fly off for headshots... All the other classes helmets do... I've also included the appropriate helmet/hat files ( for once they come off) necessary to complete the illusion..

Thanks to Devin for the use of his models..

Good Job.....Now only if you could make them with pink bones and little bows :p

AHAHA! KICK ASS! Using 'em for sure! Good job man, you're my hero!!!

Question, are the first person hand models skeleton too? i sure hope so, would ruin the whole thing if the outside models are skeletons and the first person hand models are regular fleshy hands

Meh.

Sorry bud... I opted not to do that because everyone has their favorite weapon models, and adding the skeletal hands in first person mode would make is so you had to use whatever weapon models I chose...


This does give me another idea though... Didn't Trigger whip up some hand models a little while ago that people could compile into their V models?... I should do that to... That way people have the option of using skeleton hands...


...

Yah, I just use the default models, only thing keeping me from getting the skeleton models is that the hands would still be fleshy, which would be no fun.

I think there great .
If Devin makes his SS troops I'm hoping he could yous your heads
But I do miss his MG gunner with the blood running down his face

You guy's really should get together with some Mappers and make a "DOD ARMY OF DARKNESS" MOD.
This rock's!! I can see it a Hill type map with a old Church on the top of the hill with a grave yard tanks burning even some of the tanks could be spawning points for the dead Axis . to cool!!

I prefer Day of the Dead ^_^

Its been a long time since I played after midnight that was fun
with the new patch 1.0b and these skull soldires I cant stop playing:D
Is there a way to put the KAR skin back in ?
I like the rolled up slives showing his arms.

I did the sleeves rolled up for the Riflemen just for you.. I won't release as a pack.. Let's just call it a minor alteration as a personal gesture of good faith from one DoDer to another.. lol

After all.. How could I deny you that which you love so dearly.. lol.. I'll PM you with the download link...


...

Could I get that link to? lol

ok Wren.. done...

and as a little teaser... I'm working on a little something you gents might get a kick out of ... the Army of Darkness idea sort of intrigued me...


...

Thank you it looks fantastic.:D

Not to sound needy, but could you PM it? I can't get my @phl.com email addy working on this new computer : (

Can't wait to see what this "little something is" :D

Very very nice work there effexx!!

im a big big fan of dev's trenchcoat gasmask models, so i was not to keen to use the default packs you knocked up..although i admired the work greatly....but the trenchcoat version kicks so much ass!
Scared the **** outta myself 1st time i tried them out in-game:eek:

Great stuff!

I did PM it ... yesterday.. You still didn't get it?


...

.. nope. Weird..

ok... I sent it again..

It worked and I replied. yay

Heh... that "little something" I mentioned earlier up this thread had it's first ingame trial to check vertex alignments, and stuff... I can say that it looks promising, but still needs some work... separate classes, gear, the whole works... I'm borrowing content from another source so as usual It won't get released here, but when the time comes I'll let you know where to go... I've taken to calling the project "Army of the Undead"... LOL... If you like the Skullhead stuff, then this will be right up your alley...


...

When i get a good comp that can run alot og polies in HL im getting these and DKs gasmasked SS guys. Woho!

I just got a letter saying my # up for ADSL naw I can realy play online with this god I cant wait !!

Great work, I cant wait to see them with all the gear on. Maybe somebody could alter the skins so they look worn and tattered. The transparency effects would be great!

has anyone seen the movie, Heavy metal? there's a scene in that movie where all these dead ghost-skeleton-like WW2 soldiers are rising from the dead, I think. Reminds me of this. Really spooky w hen i saw it as a kid

That story in the movie is called B-17 .
He bails out of a b-17 that takes a sh*t load of hit's from flack cannons the music is hard rock so cool.
then gets hit by that green ball from outer space that brings back to life all the dead gunner's from the air ship .
Anyway he lands on an island full of downed war planes damned spoocy !:D

I vaguely remember that.. I should go pick it up on DVD now.. lol...


...

What is the movie called? That sounds cool!

Heavy Metal..
