Genie, I added you along with all others on the team so far. But when I put it in, and return to my buddy list you screen name disappears. Do you not allow everyone to IM you?

Execellent, Ska_Wars! we just need some help with you on modeling. Which do you prefer? Player or Weapon models?

Axi-Sorry man, I already got the requested jobs. If you come up with another thing to do, we'll work it out.


Ok so as it stands::

Vandal-VGUI/Hosting

Resi-Screen Shots

8th Guards-Historical Reffs/Sounds

Russian-Skins

We need more modelers and more skinners. ONLY MODELERS AND SKINNERS NEED APPLY AT THIS POINT (We could also use someone with an EXCELENT mic for voice recording, 8th dosn't want his voice to be the only one. He'll teach you the russian.)

I've already made win sounds from about 12 Russian World War II songs, I could give to you.

I get the feeling that we're going to have 2 or 3 different Russian Paks...

Get together with 8th guards, and he'll give you the low down on what we need, then send your stuff to myself, 8th and Russian Con, and we'll get it all skinned up! :D :D

w0w ignore me

You can convert this Mosin Nagant into a Russian one and fix the animations:

I didn't ignore you, you just were unclear in what you wanted to do.

Have you guys forgotten that Cheeto has been making a Soviet pack since DoD Beta 1.3? Are you guys going to help him, or are you stealing this project from his hands? Once I make player models, im going to send them to Cheeto, hes the guy whos putting this all together.

I'm spoken for, im working with Cheeto, he asked, I agreed. Is this a competing pack? Im not going to work both sides of the fence. Can someone clear this up a bit?

Honestly I've been wondering this myself, I already said that I had all the weapon models and all I needed are player models (yes I know I mixed my tenses there, hush), but you keep asking for weapon modellers. But I think it'd actually be a GOOD idea for there to be two competing Russian Paks. More content, more competition, better quality. What's everyone else think?

Oh yeah, and Devin, get on MSN or AIM, would ya? I got another idea I want your help with, nothing too big, but it'll be fun. :D

Well, maybe there should be an American-Russian pack, and a British-Russian pack. We just won't call ours "Russian Pack"

How about that?

I meant that the Mosin in one will be different from the Mosin in another. Giving people more choice of what skins and models to use. As for American-Russian and Brit-Russian, I'm aiming to replace both. I'm like Microsoft, I want it all so I can control the world. :D

this is a competing pack? i thought you all were working together... because i was with cheeto.. O_o

I never intended anything to have competiton. I just wanted to do a Russian pack, and suddenly we're competing, Cheeto wants to be Bill Gates, I'm helping Skullz, and now I don't know what to do...

Heh, no I said that I thought it was a good idea if there were two different Russian Paks. But like Devin I'm confused about whether or not I'm a part of this thing, because Skullz kept asking for stuff that I already said I had and only once (that I can remember) acknowledged what I said I need. So I figured it was going to be a competing pak. So anyone want to explain all this to me?

I don't mind you being a part of the team or whatever. If you are, super, that means we get some stuff done (sorta). I'm up for whatever, either way, I'd just prefer the following:

1) It just replaces the British
2) The player models wear summer-issue uniforms (unless both summer and winter uniforms are made).
3) this shouldn't be competing, but if it happens, it happens. I'll help in both.

And that's my two cents worth (for now).

Originally posted by 8thGuards
1) It just replaces the British

Well if I want to replace both teams, then what? Are you wanting to release two different Paks for either side or would you just rather not work with me on it?

2) The player models wear summer-issue uniforms (unless both summer and winter uniforms are made).

Yeah, the only winter uniforms I saw were white camo, which would get bloody boring after awhile. Though the M43 could be worn either season, couldn't it?

Like I said, I'd help on both. So that means American and British, or both packs, whichever happens.

Yes, the M43 could be worn either season. By winter uniforms, I meant greatcoats, telegroikas (padded-jackets) and ushankas (fur caps). I'm tired of everyone associating the Russian front with just cold weather. The summer uniforms would vary a little more, plus most of the maps are not in winter settings.

What a mess!!!!!

Originally, 8th guards and I started talking about making a Russian pack, becuase we both did some skinning and we wanted to put a team together, and whatnot.

I HAD NO KNOWLEGE OF CHEETO'S PACK FOR 3.1

This was never meant to be a contiuation of Cheeto's pack, or anything like that, we wanted to build this pack from the ground up. For that we need a team who is willing to do all NEW work for the NEW pack.

This is not to suggest that we discard all of Cheeto's hard work, however I think we have diffrent goals. I don't want a competition here, what I do want is a cool pack to replace the lousy brits!!!

I don't know how 8th guards feels about this, or how anyone who signed up feels about it, but lets collaborate here. 8th is the man with the plan about EVERYTHING russian, Cheeto, get together with our buddy 8th and go over the weapon models you made. If he has any tweaks and whatnot he'd like made, make them than hand them over to Russian Conscript, who will skin the weapons. Devin, you get together with 8th as well, he'll tell you what we need, model them up and hand them off to whoever ends up volunteering to do playerskins. I will take the Historicals that 8th sent me, and I'll do the vgui bit, then I'll send the crests, symbols ect to Genie, who will do the sprites. When the weapons are done, screen shots will be sent to Genie too so he can do those sprites. In the meantime, we need some people with GOOD mics to volunteer to do the voice comm with 8th who will teach those people the Russian they need to know.

Once thats all done I will host it as the Anglo-Russian pack.

NEXT

We do the same thing, but for the AMERICANS this way Cheeto can be bill gates or whatever.

We'll have two seperate packs. Brits Russian and Americans Russian.

Sound good?

I'm cool with everything Skullz has laid out. I hope no one thinks they're being cheated or whatever. I fully support this idea. Plus this weekend I'll be going to a re-enactment, so I'll deffinately be in the groove for this stuff after this weekend.

**bump**

*bump*

my ideas:

russians for brits:
Enfield - Mosin

Garand - SVT40
M1 Carbine - no idea...
Tommy - PPSh-41 with box mag
Greaser - PPS-43
Springfield - Mosin sniper
BAR - no idea..
.30cal - PG

colt and webley - TT33
nade - RGD or F-1

My thoughts on the mod:

I really don't think an American version is necessary since it almost triples dev time, and Brit arsenal matches pretty well with the Russian arsenal.

Although I would really despise it (for historical purposes), I think a Ppsh-41 would have more style and flair with the drum magazine. Distinction is the key to making something popular, and I don't think the masses would like a Ppsh-41 with a box magazine, after seeing shots like this:

Courtesy of the Hulton Archive (http://www.hultonarchive.com/images/pictures/01t/23/doey/15067/close/dh12x16.jpg)

Another key feature of the mod should be maps. See if you can get a mapper to make even 1 or 2 maps based on the Eastern Front, just to add some ambience.

One should be a map on the steppes, show-casing the field-to-field, village-to-village combat of the Eastern Front

The other should be in snow. My favorite pics from WWII:

Feelin' Frosty (http://www.hultonarchive.com/images/pictures/steve11/first/sww/rus2/close/00915.jpg)

Three's Company (http://www.hultonarchive.com/images/pictures/steve11/first/sww/rus2/close/00918.jpg)

Lastly, don't do this half-assed. Too many people are looking foward to this, so don't release an un-tested product. Get some people to beta it, and test it out. Then you have time to fix it.

Easiest way to make quality models would be to replace Brits with Soviet airborne or recce troops: Ameoba pattern coveralls (brits are already wearing coveralls so it's a matter or a reskin), model soviet kit and either Soviet helmets or pilotkas as a headwear (pilotkas will fit better with camo coveralls). if you guys want coveralls skins contact me on msn (kouprine@hotmail.com) and i'll give 'em to you. Americans could be replaced with regular soviet infantry wearing m43. cheers.

Purple, I will contact you. Maybe rival packs would work if myself and 8th guards didn't have to make models.....what would we do for weapon models, though?

Well, imho, it should be kinda realistic & stuff... having 30 rounds instead of 71 (drum mag) is not... You might aswell give 'em AKs then :p

@ Russ

For some good references watch:

Stalingrad
Enemy at the Gates (which you've already seen lol)
The Pianist (some good pics of Ruskies in the last ten minutes)
Winter War

Also there are some good descriptions of Russians in 'SS General' by Sven Hassel.

I'll try and russel up some pics for you and send them or post them here.

Ska

EDIT *huh? did I imagine Russ' post jus then?*

already deleted... guess he changed his mind :D

anyway, give me 15 minutes, ill put up some pics from "Zvezda"

edit: feck, cant find the dvd :0

...

yeah because i have one player model project in the works right now anyway, and plus the idea i had for the moedls was scrapped once i realized the meshes i had for the model peice were missing. :\ sry guys. ill try later if i can.

I have 2 Soviet Anthem win sounds you could use, if you need them.

I'd be willing to help out! I do sprites and 2D stuff.:)

Brit replacements ? Only good maps wih brits are Jagd really stuka is an awesome map and so is flugpatz be better without brits :) I use the enemy at the gates soundpack for prewarmup and round start sounds find whoever made it he has good choice in proper sounds :)

Well cheeto can do american-russian and you guys can do brits I been waiting for cheetos happily for a long time :)

and btw

HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE CHEETOS THREAD!!!!!!!!any modeler with a clue or can read has seen cheetos thread for AGES it was bumped almost daily I bumped it like 30 times everyone loves cheeto :)
