MODERN SPECIAL FORCES MOD
Under Construction

Long time ago I started making Modern Special Forces mod, a modern weapons based mod. And it's my first mod. Now I'm near to finish it and I need some opinion about my weapons. Because I'm not very content with everything.


Updated all!!!

Some weapons need more color and shading, but otherwise I was very positively surprised. There are not a lot of newcomers who actually make something good-looking. First time I come here in 2 weeks and I instantly found something iteresting ^^

Oh yeah, Mp7 = schweet

Post by: J on February 16, 2008, 01:54:03 pm
I need mor information.
Which weapons need more colour and shadding?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: PaFel on February 16, 2008, 03:55:17 pm
XM25 - the only weapon that looks good. Rest is medium quality. More shading and they would look good.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: -Skykanden- on February 16, 2008, 04:43:11 pm
I really like that AT4... but some of those weapons rememebrs to me to other modder's weapons, like the XM25 (Tahel's bow in Land Warrior)  or the MP7 from Dairy's BF2 Mod... they just look like i'm not saying that they are, i need to see it sure

If is that one Milkor, is a 6 round grenade launcher. And don't add those bullets on interface guns, or just do it as variant.

Can you shade a little bit more the clip of the S.A.W?

 That's all, good luck
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on February 18, 2008, 12:44:27 pm
OK I'll shade the SAW a bit more but with the other weapons' shadding I'd need a bit more help!
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Aarni Valkea on February 18, 2008, 04:29:40 pm
I'd say they all need more work, but the current state is not bad at all. Their forms are mostly very good, and the overall layout does not have any problems. Remember: You can always improve.

For example, the Steyr Scout is a bit too dark and G36 needs a more "metallic" shading imo. They are both good looking, but could be better.

I've always liked working on a project a lot more than actually finishing it (This shows: 4 incomplete and 0 complete mods ;))
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on February 19, 2008, 07:07:56 am
Why make the G36K more "metallic"?
Its main parts are made up of plastics.

True but it need to be at least lighter.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on February 19, 2008, 12:38:37 pm
Well I just made a new

G36K
(http://i25.tinypic.com/qsobkk.png)

and a new

Steyr Scout
(http://i28.tinypic.com/2j3ikbp.png)

how do you think about them?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: PaFel on February 19, 2008, 12:51:32 pm
Can't see the large difference. More light. For now they're almost completly black.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Aarni Valkea on February 20, 2008, 05:44:08 am
I know it's mostly plastic and I didn't mean to make it look like it was made from metal. The correct term would've been "add more contrast". I did not chose my words well.

I think they still need more contrast. They were just examples, not the only weapons that needed upgrading. You've got the outlines and image-bases right, but you need to put more attention in coloring ;)
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: blackdevil0742 on February 20, 2008, 05:52:26 am
Remove the green background. You are saving the images as png afterall and it will help us see the guns better(at least I do).

Use more contrast on the darker guns they will look better IMO.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on February 20, 2008, 10:31:37 am
For now I just made a new G36 K what about it?

Can you add/make more visible the SAW's bipod¿

Now finally G36 looks good.

Btw: you could find better opf image for your avatar :)

Btw2: modern special forces, so what the hell is Fn FAL doing here?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on February 23, 2008, 01:45:43 pm
First I tried to make an M4 but it didn't actually look like something so I added the FN Fal and I don't know what to add instead of the FN Fal
maybe an L85A1?

And I will make my Avatar the way I want to.

back on topic I made a new Jackhammer here it is

Hmm... L85A2 would be better (the one with SUSAT sight) or M4A1 Sopmod or something like that.

And I will make my Avatar the way I want to.
Wow... I just suggested you to make it in better quality...

And what about this new MGL-140?

And an LR300 replacing the FN FAL

Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: -Skykanden- on March 14, 2008, 02:11:00 pm
I like the Milkor, but you need  to repair that scope of the L96, also if you could fix those cylinders ...

Are you sure that you made the XM25...?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: TBDM on March 14, 2008, 02:42:27 pm
Steyr Scout


where's the scope?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on March 30, 2008, 09:02:02 am
As you can see I have many problems in making scopes that's why there is no scope on Steyr Scout.
How could I make the L96 scope better?

Is this okay?
(http://i32.tinypic.com/11grb6a.png)

And yes I am sure that I made the XM25.

New recolored M249 SAW with bipod.
(http://i27.tinypic.com/zjyzxe.png)
New HK P12
(http://i26.tinypic.com/29gn4a0.jpg)
How do you think about this FN F2000
(http://i25.tinypic.com/2w7lqow.png)

And I am not satisfied with the Heckler & Koch GMG so I thought about adding an XM312 ACSW instead of it.
Here it is.
(http://i28.tinypic.com/w1uur9.png)
This is my new Berrettas, Knife and AT4
(http://i26.tinypic.com/3355w1w.png)

(http://i26.tinypic.com/azcsr7.png)

(http://i28.tinypic.com/2md56ab.png)

Moreover I think this LR-300 fits better to the other weapons because it's a little darker now.
(http://i32.tinypic.com/11sf4gk.png)

And I think this mod will come with a configurator because I just made some new weapons I want to add. And I don't want to delete other weapons.

J, not many people reply on the mod announcement pages, as I sorely found out. I like your mods though... They remind me of some decent work not seen here in a while... and I don't even produce mods this appealing :)
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Hair|Trigger on March 31, 2008, 04:28:39 am
I have found it very difficult putting scopes on small weapons and still have white space underneath.  I suppose it depends on what the image requires, but if you want a realistic scope, have it on a larger gun.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces
Post by: J on April 03, 2008, 01:03:43 pm
But I can't make it bigger cause it would overlap with the other guns then.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: felipegoes on April 13, 2008, 11:47:10 am
I think that if the M249 was a bit darker it would look cooler
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 05, 2008, 07:37:49 am
Ok now added darker M249 and finished many new weapons I will add later

Thanks PaFel but I had to modify them a bit.

Now added M4A1 and M16A3

Tavor haves too man black lines, try to use similar colours to the weapon, the same with A3
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 15, 2008, 02:02:39 pm
I won't make less black lines coz this is my style.

EDIT: Brightened up HK53 and all MP5 variations.

Post by: -Skykanden- on May 15, 2008, 02:09:29 pm

Why FN2000 as rambo bow?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Espadon on May 15, 2008, 02:34:21 pm
Probably for dual fire modes. Sometimes the guns really remind me of FMBM >.<
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 16, 2008, 12:16:03 pm
Yes it's for dual firemodes.
But what is FMBM?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: -Skykanden- on May 16, 2008, 12:35:54 pm
Field Marshall. The creator of Special forces mod and WWII and some other like metal slug
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 16, 2008, 02:32:07 pm
Do you think that I copied his guns or is that positive criticism?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Espadon on May 16, 2008, 02:43:30 pm
Neither. A few people don't admire FMBM's style of using single-pixel-width details, that's all. In the end it's all at your discretion; FMBM turned out some really successful mods anyways.

For the last days I had some time and so I added some new weapons^^

M21
(http://i26.tinypic.com/10htv1k.png)

Barrett M99
(http://i29.tinypic.com/i24yv7.png)

and Mk.48 MOD 0

EDIT: fixed M249s carrying handle
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: -Skykanden- on May 23, 2008, 10:58:46 am
Add the magazine to M99

M21 looks really nice, good job

About the Mk. 48: is a bit fat, could you fix it?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Espadon on May 23, 2008, 02:36:40 pm
I take it that the white pixel on the M21 wasn't intentional?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 24, 2008, 07:13:20 am
Add the magazine to M99
M99 doesn't have any magazine!!

About the Mk. 48: is a bit fat, could you fix it?
You're right I'm gonna fix that

I take it that the white pixel on the M21 wasn't intentional?
oh yes gonna fix that too^^

M21 looks better now
But Mk48 is similar to SAW so use similar sizes
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 24, 2008, 11:35:31 am
the first version of Mk.48 was similar to SAW but you said that it was too fat so made it about one pixel smaler.
So what do you mean with similar sizes?
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: -Skykanden- on May 24, 2008, 11:44:19 am
I mean take your SAW and then modify it creating the Mk48 or just make a scuare with the sizes of the saw and over it make the weapon
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 24, 2008, 12:29:53 pm
That's just what I did at first but then you said that it would be too fat.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: -Skykanden- on May 24, 2008, 12:52:46 pm
So now try to fix it somehow.
Or put it unzoomed, i may be wrong
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 27, 2008, 09:17:24 am
OK I'll use my old one it's in the same size as M249 but added ACOG.
(http://i29.tinypic.com/jrfjpj.png)

And added FN EGLM in standalone coniguration.
(http://i27.tinypic.com/22m0di.png)

Uh... some countries still use FN FALs as far as I know.

EDIT: Aww, damn... why'd you get rid of it? Can I get a link to the FN FAL picture? I wanna see what it looks like.

Everything looks pretty good to me. A few things to mention though... That MP5/10 you have is an A5, not an A3, unless they gave completely different #s to the 10mm versions of MP5.

 Jackhammer and USAS are both shotguns, what's the HK21 doing in the same category??

What is a B&T MP9? Looks like a Steyr TMP to me.

Also, your HK53 is too short. It looks like an MP5.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 30, 2008, 12:05:54 pm
well FN FAL is too old for this mod I think and furthermore it was just added when I had only a few weapons done and didn't know what to add moreover I didn't like the shading.
But if you want it here is the pic:
(http://i28.tinypic.com/20ij60l.png)

With Mp5/10 and HK53 you're right I think. I'm gonna fix that.

Jackhammer and HK21 are in the minigun category coz I wanted to make some different weapons for people who like auto shotguns and people who like machineguns more.

B&T MP9 is a modern over-worked version of the Steyr TMP by the swiss company Brügger & Thomet which bought all the letters patents for this gun.

EDIT: changed HK53 hope it's better now^^
(http://i29.tinypic.com/2rh78sm.png)

And updated first post!
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Magus86 on May 30, 2008, 09:20:36 pm
OH shit, my bad... I had the HK 33 and HK53 confused... It was fine the way it was the first time... I just double checked modern firearms, and apparently the HK53 is only 10mm longer than the MP5... I apologize.

Your FAL looks good, except it's technically not a FAL. it's a carbine version modified by USA. I woudln't mind seeing a FAL, but it's your mod, and you've aleady changed it.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on May 31, 2008, 02:22:47 pm
Yes it's HK53 but I'll keep the newer about 2 pixels longer version coz I like it more.

But I won't add the FAL again it was just a transitional added weapon 'till I had added better and more modern weapons.

And now added M40A3
(http://i27.tinypic.com/sy5wzl.png)


EDIT:
Changed Scouts shading to this
(http://i29.tinypic.com/2rvy9ub.png)

And darkened MP7 and added better shading to it

Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Magus86 on June 02, 2008, 05:04:08 pm
If it's going to be used as an assault rifle... How about that? It's decently accurate and powerful, but it's difficult to control in long bursts, kind of like a real one... so you can't just spray like a crazy bastard and get all kinds of kills.

[Steyr AUG]
Damage=70
FireInterval=7
Ammo=20

Post by: J on June 05, 2008, 10:29:39 am
Hm... I think I'm gonna add this one as a ruger replacement but the assault rifle idea isn't bad too... but I guess it would be better as some kind of tactical sniper rifle coz of the scope and the bipod.

EDIT: reshaded many weapons including:

Jackhammer

And about the M14-EBR, I'm not gonna add this weapon coz I tried to make one for several times and I failured already at the outlines. This gun is just so ugly that I can't make it suitable for Soldat.

Post by: Espadon on June 07, 2008, 08:24:39 am
With pixel art, "less is more," and a lot of details shouldn't be done with outlines since you're working with indivisible  ... pixels. So you should square off the back like the 416 but use a value gradation to cause an illusion of the bulging stock. If you've ever seen that illusion trick showing a white square and a black square with the white square looking 'bigger' even though they're both the exact same size... yeah, it's based on that principle. With that said, you've emphasized the iron sight way too much. You should look for what makes the gun feel the way it does [make it 'feel' like a Berretta] instead of trying to include every little itsy bitsy detail because you're going to get ~mediocre results [with your current method].
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Magus86 on June 12, 2008, 12:58:54 pm
What Espadon really meant to say is "do it how everybody else does it, or prepare to be flamed."

I think your guns look perfectly fine. In fact, they look better than most I've seen around here. One thing you might want to change though, on the Heckler and Koch retractable stocks, the piece that actually touches your shoulder isn't supposed to be flat.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Boots on June 12, 2008, 07:25:01 pm
Magus86, Go have a look at REAL shapes of REAL firearms, sure... They will look like they have all the bits but those bits just make the gun look to big.


What espadon is saying, if you want to be GOOD at pixel art, do it right.

Didn't say they were bad at all. Just consider it a friendly exchange of experiences from a fellow modder. Most are pretty nice anyways [did I say any of them needed total reworking?] but of course everyone can expect to become even better as time goes by -- don't rush it, but I think there's no such thing as 'the last word' when it comes to quality. :D

Yes I'll have to over-work the AA-12 but I think I won't change the MAG-7. I like it.

And about the configurator, yes I'm gonna use ivan's configurator but a friend of mine will change it a so it works with Soldat 1.4.2 (or mayby 1.5) and add a Rambo Bow- and a Flamer-slot instead of the gosteks-slot.

DAO mag lighting is wonky. I mean, you can get away with it on the Bene, but having the light look as if it's coming directly from the side on the DAO mag makes it look, well, it says to me you're inexperienced with how lighting works [you can keep it like that and most people won't notice it, so don't worry too much]. Lighting usually comes from the top, so you might want to shift the highlights up a bit. Overall you just want to make the shading suggest where the light's coming from.

Just a tip to maybe mull over.

Post by: Hair|Trigger on August 09, 2008, 06:30:52 am
Seriousley re-do that steyr..

The buttstock is fine but the barrel starts just in front of where the handle is, and the holding grip thing is right infront of the handle.  also you need to tilt the joints on the scope backwards, and move the front of the scope so its directly over the front joint and the back end overlaps the back joint.  make the top of the body flat, there is no need to raise the scope there.  and the handle, make it kind of curve backwards at the very top.   hope that all makes sense.

the PSG1 - fix the magazine.  (the line where the gun meets the magazine should be straight or lenghten the mag by 1 pixel)

Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: J on August 09, 2008, 09:02:37 am
First about the steyr the gun I made isn't a steyr AUG A1 it's an A3 and the barrel does NOT start just in front of the handle

Post by: Espadon on August 09, 2008, 10:37:28 am
Yes but everything becomes relative when it comes down to Soldat-sized. While the mag is not straight, you need to make it straighter so it resembles the overall characteristic more.
Title: Re: Preview - Modern Special Forces - mod
Post by: Hair|Trigger on August 09, 2008, 06:54:27 pm
Well even if it is an A3 there's still rooom for improvement on the steyr..  you should make the barrell and scope and the grenade launcher attachment area on the front all back while keep the stock whatever colour. 

as for the G36, I'd probably shorten it a bit so you could lower the thing on the top (by 1px) cause it looks slightly larger than it should.  either that or make the rest of the body larger to fit it..  but this is realy subliminal.

@AUG It's better, I wanted you to change the colour of the stock though, and keep the rest blue or light gray, but thats ok if you want it black.  All I can say is make the dithering darker and maybe have more detail in the stock, it's kinda gradient-ish

Seems your rushing this. I mean, you've done around 30 weapons.. Most of them are autos aswell. Along with that, if you want this to be perfect its going to take a hell of alot of time to fix every single weapon.

I'm not rushing this.
There's a long period of time I didn't add anything since the last few weapons because I used this time to make the weapons and didn't upload them.
Most of the work I'm uploading now was allready done for a week or so.
If I wasn't doing this so fast then it would take years to finish this mod and btw I don't think that there such a thing as the "perfect mod"
And why can't I fix the weapons after I uploaded them?

Btw there are many similar weapons eg I made 6 different MP5 type weapons that's not much work when one of them is done

Btw2 91 weapons for now ;)

I agree, nice AK

WA2000 could use some kind of lighting on the top half near the scope like with GL-06

Wow that fn200 is really nice, but the mag is too long (IMO)

GL-06 should be bright in the middle and darker around the edges of the barrel, the shading is kinda in reverse (not saying it's done wrong, but when you do it like that it represents that the light source is behind the gun, and that never works well in weapon interfaces, especially since the rest of the gun has the light source in front of it)

since it's special forces, why not chuck on some addons so it isn't just stock?

I think now it's better but adding attachments on top of it would make it overlap with other weaps
