How do,

I was thinking the other night how bloody hard it can be for hack jobbers and modellers to find the right bit of equipment to put on our models. I myself have many a time had to download packs jus cos i liked the look of one bit of equipment on it.

So I came up with an idea. This was done on the old forums with headgear, but I was thinking why not make it open to all bits of gear.

Basically, if you have made or found a piece of equipment on a model that you think would be useful to the community jus pop it in a zip and slap it on here. It doesn't matter whether its a helmet, pair of boots, ammo belts, webbing, anything. Jus throw it in here so the community has better access to bits & pieces to make models.

To start the ball rolling heres the rank cheverons off my 2nd army lads, the officers hat and head gear off my caen tank hack job (kindly donated by Devin Kryss) and a pair of binocs (also by devin I think).

Hopefully if this catches on it will be made a sticky *hint hint* lol

Anyway, heres some pics of the stuff. Sorry for the weird black bits on the cheverons, they dont appear like that in game.

Hope you all like this idea and show your support and more importantly, your models :D

I want goggles :D

This is a great Idea even though I dont model/skin/hackjob this sounds look a awesome idea :D

Give me five minutes and I'll dig some up.

Ska

I think it's not a bad idea ska, but it would work better i think if admin made it a permanent sticky.

Good idea! Nice stuff there!

great idea :)

@ marzy, thats what I hinted at in my first post.

Anyway, here's some goggles from Devin's DAK pack from 3.1

Great thread Ska. id post most of triggers stuff that i have, but thier not mine. so ill let him post his stuff here. :D

this thread could also become a request thread for certain peices modellers might need to mkae the packs they want.

What would be even better would be a website to go to, instead of just making one big thread, a webmaster could update the page with new stuff and pictures.

I'd do this but I don't have the cash to buy any webspace, nor am I very skilled with HTML (although I can make simple pages.)

Glad to see you like the idea. I'll have a word with the boss at dodsupply.co.uk if we can make a sub site or summat dovated to model bits.

In the mean time please pose any stuff you have.

if possible could you type REL in the post subject if you are releaseing something.

and REQ if you are requesting summat. it would make it alot easier to see at a glance what is here.

Cheers for the support lads,

Ska

Any chance of this being made a sticky mods?

Ska

Just be careful to keep an eye out for elements, etc. that might be ripped from other games.

Not everyone understands the IP violation aspects.

- Jed

hey hey hey...that's my headset actually...well, not really

i converted them for devin from another game...

Ah sorry mate, Dev mentioned that someone else had given him them but I couldnt rememeber the name, sorry.

@ jed, for a second then I fort you were gonna show some support for this idea, silly me lol :D

Anyway, should i redo do this thread with an explanation of the whole REL/REQ thing and all that?

Ska

I could probably contribute a HELL of a lot of stuff since I have everything necessary to convert models...

But I don't know if that would be okay here.

if you don't tell them where its from I won't ;) lol

Jus post them, if they're not allowed you can always remove them and apoligise i guess.

Whats people's general oppinion of this thread? Is it worth to keep going with it?

Ska

Uh...not until I release my pack, lol. Let's just say....uh...

*cough* mohaa player models remeshed and reskinned *cough*

Here's a gasmask I made yesterday, it's modeled much like devins, but this one makes use of addative transparency for the lenses.

http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/gasmaskT.jpg

Goggles, as seen on my SS Gerbisjager "Handschar" (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7997) set.

http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/goggles.jpg

hey Trigger, how did you make those lenses transparent?

Eh, seems to me like you just alternate pixels between the transparent one and some light grey.

$texrendermode "lense.bmp" "additive"

It's in the transparency tutorial located in one of the stickies at the top. Additive basicaly is an alpha transparency thing, where the darker the color the less opaque.

I think this is a great idea.

Cheers trigger, i was afriad no one else was gonna post anything lol

Thanks for all the support for this idea.

It looks like this aint gonna be made a sticky thread after all so I guess will jus have to keep posting stuff to keep it on atleast the first 3 pages lol

Ska

thats some nice stuff trigger, love the goggles.

Wow, this really needs a sticky. One of the best things to happen ot MSA.

I should have some more bits to add tomorrow evening. Thanks to everyone who has shown support to this, and cheers very much to Trigger, those gas masks are bloody great.

Ska

try this one for a change

http://www.britishairborne.org/gasmask.gif

it's all about the gasmasks!
great work, all.

Nice...We hack jobbers could use these

Here's something people have been requesting, arm patches that can be unique to each class, and can be on either arm. The textures included come from my 3rd Armored Division (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8125) set.

What I did is took a few polygons and put them over the arms in the proper places, there is a texture included that can be used to place rank and whatever other insignia over it, these patches use their own textures, so you needn't put anything on the sleve texture itself. The background has to be transparent on the patches to let the sleve texture show through and complete the effect.

Make sure the color you want to be transparent is the last color in the pallette, and include the following line in the qc to get transparency working:

$texrendermode "(name of texture here)" "masked"

nice ill be usin these... btw trig..hows my trenchcoat comin?

great contributions all :)

req: Brit Mk3-4 helmet (http://kptdoe.netfirms.com/Hosted/mk4refs.htm)

Hats, hats of all shapes and sizes. No textures, but UV maps are included.

Included in the zip:
-------------------------
boonie hat
crush cap - 2 versions
german helmet w/cloth cover
pith helmet
overseas cap
fuzzy hat with ear flaps - 2 versions

Here's the m38 crash helmet from my 3rd Armored Division (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8125) pack. Complete with texture. Included are some goggles to go with them. To get the transparency for the lense, use:

$texrendermode "lense.bmp" "additive"

Here's the mountain boots from my SS Gerbisjager "Handschar" (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7997) set, texture included.

this still not a sticky?

sum1 has got to make that Brit Gasmask
*starts getting ideas for Ska for Br.2nd V2* :p
gj lads

Me wants somebody to add German Hat (w/out headset) for the trench coats!!! PLPLPLZZZZ :D

P.S: Russ I love your sig :) We saw that movie for the first time very high and that part was awesome :D

Very nice stuff you guys got here, yes this deserves a sticky.

Trigger, can u explain exactly how you got the ranks on, I mean what did you edit, add or whatnot. I can't seem to figure it out on my own. :(

Great work lads. I've been working/partying all weekend and aint had a chance to check the forms. Nice to see people still like this idea.

Great work Trig! I love that helmet with the goggles on them.

Ska

Hey all,

As Ska Warz said a while back he was gonna talk to the boss of DoD Supply, well thats me *gets power rush* lol.

If anyone is interested I will put a area on the site for all these little bits and pieces.

Lemmie know what you think, and can anyone else bar Trigger and Ska post some stuff lol.

the ripa's helmet powa

Requesting German warmedals

Ill see what I can do.

What you want? War Merit Cross, infantry badge, wounded badge etc?

Ska

German: Knights Cross, Assualt Badge
US: Medal of Honor

Wait, Corrections:
German: Knights Cross, Assualt Badge
British: Victorian Cross, Distinguished Service Order

**** sorry mate i forgot all about these. I'll get these done as soon as possible.

Some decent photos that I could use to skin them would be greatly appreciated.

Ska

Heh, I don't have a clue what most of these look like (except for the Iron Cross). I was hoping someone would have made them. They aren't vital but they would be nice to have them for some variety.

can some one make the gulf war gas mask i like the look of it

i think this is one of the british badges you wanted:confused:
anyways its just a photoskin :P
and if i knew what the rest of the badges looked like i would make them too:)

Riap that helmet is simply amazing...

i liked that helmet so much i decided to attach it to the default models. sure its unrealistic to have a WW2 soldat wearing a M1916 helmet... but whatever i like it.

High poly hands for player models

Anyone can make a few pairs of glasses?

US soldiers never wore medals on field uniforms, it's a silly thing to wear medals in combat, it points out your importance to enemy snipers.

*scratches head* what ? o_O

Gabagoo, snipers tend to take out higher ranking officers, so... wearing medals wasnt advised :p

Why not use Trigger's?

Dos some 1 have a japanese helmet and cap/hat skin and all that stuff???
