Title: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: The Bone Collector on March 29, 2008, 09:10:49 pm
Right, so in starting off, I'd like to get some modders together to make a mod. My other mod fell through, but I will not let this one go :)
Basically, I would like to compile a mod that you (YES, YOU!!!) contribute to. The theme of the mod, is the Soldat weapons. Take them, smecks them up, and post them here. Fortunately, there are rules.

Rules
Original Soldat guns ONLY (unless you ask me first, M4 to replace Steyr may be acceptable, or included in an extras pack ;))
No futuristic crap. Keep the realism (as real as soldat can be)!
Ingame GFX as well as Interface gfx (duh) MUST BE supplied.
Sfx can be supplied, but isn't necessary
Keep to the original contraints of the weapon images, I.E don't screw with the size/height :)
PNG file format only! Not only do they look better, but files are smaller :)

Credit will be given to all who help out. You can edit interface/gosteks and supply them if you must.

The guns list:

Deagles
Mp5
AK-74
Steyr AUG
Ruger
Spas-12
M79
Barrett
Minimi
Minigun

Socom
Knife
Saw
LAW

Everyone is welcome to participate.

Its not PaFels. I took a basis off the M4 from Michal Z (on soldatmods) and modified it heavily.

Zip that file up Trig :)

Take your modded files, and put them in one folder, get yourself winzip or winrar, and compress them :)

Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: Hair|Trigger on March 30, 2008, 07:10:22 am
Okay... back on topic then... How do i upload the zip files?   Does this site have a module for uploading zips or something? i dont see it.
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: Pie on March 30, 2008, 07:12:32 am
Click REPLY
And then type your post, under it is additional options click it, the browse, Find the ZIP file, It's GOT TO BE A ZIP FILE. Then click post and it should post your post with the ZIP file attached.

Ontopic= Extended the Green part at the base of the gun.

Thoughts?

I like it, but there are too many gradients, add textures and more details (so make it a bit bigger )

That's based the original Minigun graphic. same size.
Also, it's the interface picture.

What do you mean by textures :S
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: Hair|Trigger on March 30, 2008, 07:32:25 am

Date Posted: March 30, 2008, 08:31:14 am
anyways...  do you guys think the law is any good at all? :P
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: The Bone Collector on March 30, 2008, 07:33:03 am
err...trig, can I mention that you can slap it all in one zip, and let that be it... rather than zip each individual file...

D'oh!

ok i dnt feel in the mood for any more zipping around. xD

But i think Pie's minigun is alright.. seeing as this is a multi-style mod and all.  GW

Post by: The Bone Collector on March 30, 2008, 07:43:19 am
Good submissions so far, but lets see some originality here! Trig, I like your gun... but its not a mod of the LAW, its a completey different weapon.
I can't wait for the Ruger that Sky's told us about ;)
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: Hair|Trigger on March 31, 2008, 12:40:57 am
it isn't?  D:    I copied it as best i could.  :(  i can make a few changes if you like tho.
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: The Bone Collector on March 31, 2008, 12:53:55 am
Ok then :)
Wheres the other submissions? I wanna see them ;)

Heres a few of my rather pathetic tries:

Any better?  If so, i'll put the zip thing together later on.  still workin it all out : P

TbC, I was wondering, how come some pictures have the green background for the guns, and some of those pics have darker shades of green around the gun for the shaddows.  Like your soccom redux you did, i noticed you drew the shaddows on the green background, hows that supposed to work, wouldnt the shaddows appear green because they dont match the exact colour needed?  or is it some alternative to the aplha .png or something?

Date Posted: March 31, 2008, 02:45:14 am
Oh, another thing... since we seem to have no care for weaps looking like crap at this stage xD

Here is the first ever steyr I made.  Some ASF people may remember..

Post by: The Bone Collector on March 31, 2008, 01:54:12 am
Yea, my socom was stuffed because of that one. But, I've since then adopted Photoshop as my main editor, which gives you that light shading around the weapons (see my modded AK above). I personally prefer it :)
I can now see the LAW underneath that Trig. Could you make those seperate files with the proper names and folders and Zip it up for me?
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: Hair|Trigger on March 31, 2008, 02:27:41 am
okay.. i'll zip the file, it will be messy.  i've  already got a stack of spam shortcuts on my desktop because of previous attempts.  But yeah i'm getting the hang of it xD

It's hard to be original with a freaking mingun, how many barrels can i freaking add?!?! *Grumble grumble*

Okay, wise guy, what do YOU think i should make the minigun look like?
Post some ideas and i'll fix it just for you ;)
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: The Bone Collector on March 31, 2008, 08:42:49 am
I like what you've done with the MG pie, it's brighter now :)
I was hoping for some realistic type mods here, and so far I'm happy. But, we need more submissions!
Bring them ON! :D
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: Arbiter on April 02, 2008, 06:22:20 am
Hair, are joo shure about your steyr? I was planning to get it, and you already have your LAW :/
If it's just an "extra", I'll just do another stage by stage like I did for the SF mod.

Oh, is it really necessary to keep to restrictions? The current size is really annoying.


EDIT: Bah, I'll make it anyway.

Picture based off:

Stage 1: Outline, skeleton. Comments?

Stage 2: Lil' bit of colouring, redid dimensions, having trouble with clip :/ Comments?

Which way are they supposed to face?

Stage 3: Muahaha. Anyway, it looks strange, but sure as hell looks better ingame. Comments?

Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
Post by: Arbiter on April 02, 2008, 07:38:49 am
Final. Since I positively suck at weap-gfx and the SFX's fine..

Whoever's kind enough, help meh do the ingame GFX.

EDIT: Made clip fatter, looks strange.
Title: Re: Soldat Redux: We need you :)
