Update 13th of May:

Yay new weapons images. Check them out, aren't they just sexy?

I'll fix the story later, I know it's a bit lame.

Aim:
-To keep people pay soldat and give them a new way of playing.
-To give soldat a new feel with futuristic weaponry, but keeping the graphics in the same style as the vanilla soldat.
-To show off my Polyworking and weapon-editing skills.

Features:

-All new Weapons
-All new gosteks
-All new Interface
-All new weapons.ini, featuring an entirely new way of playing soldat.
-Three new highly detailed maps, specially designed to match teh weapons.ini, making for balanced gameplay.
-All new parachutes
-New explosions
-All new sounds
-A whole bunch of other tweaks. Including my own buffing of cluster nades and wait until you see the new berserker mode...

Completed, or at least finished, but not "proof-read":
-All weapons except M79.
-Explosions (They are all turquoise and futuristic)
-"Berlin" map, waypointed by Blacksheepboy. (Thanks to HeavyMetal.Penguin91 as well)
-Interface
-Various other things I can't remember

Currently Working on:
-2nd Map, set in a deserted Island resort hotel. It's looking quite good.
-Gameplay (weapons.ini)
-New scenery.
-Finding out if I can get a server running.
-Gosteks, at the moment they're pitch black and a bit skinny.
-Interface
-Polishing various weapons.
-Berlin map, fixing scenery, increasing eye-candy etc, polishing off really.

Need to start:
-3rd Map
-Weapons-gfx
-Secondary weapons (ANY IDEAS?)
-Various Primary Weapons
-Fine-tuning
-Finding sounds.
-Team2 gosteks.

I'm lost on (Please donate ideas for me):
-M79 Variant
-M2 Turret
-Flamer ( I was thinking plasma...)

Can you help?

Yes, I want to encourage forum interaction. If you want to create a weapon for me, I'll edit it so it matches my style. I will also we very happy to have anyone willing to have a server to play it on when it's out. If you want to make some maps, or map ideas, simply PM or even better, say them here! All criticism is welcome, as long as it's not flamecism. All advice appreciated. I would very much like to have some more people working with me, even if it's just ideas.

I'll post the few that I have done (they're in alpha stage) very soon. I don't have a registered soldat. I just copied and pasted the interface into the interface folder. I'll just include the HUD in a seperate folder so you can do what you wish.

You don't have to be regged to create a reg interface, use Interface maker and it will be ok

how much jet fuel will the maps have?
they seem to me like tw_ maps
and i like that very much

i like the unreg interface, but the health icon isnt the best (seems more like ghost recon than bf2142)
i could help you for the weapon details (to prevent the weapon holidng problem)

p.s. i will experiment with the parachutes to create a drop pod like parachute

Cool beans. It is the GRAW symbol, I'm going to modify it though so as not to breach copyright. It's not supposed to be too 2142y as then it is just a 2142 mod! Ok weapons posted soon I promise.

Parachutes sound awesome, please do ;D. And my maps have low jetpack fuel, but with 3-5 bullets killing you, you'll have to think before you jet randomly.

Post by: croat1gamer on March 25, 2009, 09:26:52 am

uhh, the drop pods will need some more time, the poa editor wont save the parachute object, so i need to make it all with pictures being turned and adding free space

Title: Re: Soldat 2057AD REDUX Last Update: 19th March
Post by: -Skykanden- on March 25, 2009, 09:31:00 am

They are great
4 is really nice, I love it and the same with 0
8's stock looks like ruger one, and some other weapons look like if they had parts from the defaut weapons
As I see you have the same bullet for all the weapons, maybe you should change the colour or the shape

The weapons are great for now, but as I said they need some updates

Title: Re: Soldat 2057AD REDUX Last Update: 19th March
Post by: DarkCrusade on March 27, 2009, 12:35:24 pm

I think there should be black outlines at your 4, it looks prettier ;) Seems to be nice till now, keep the good work on!

For the AK-47 variant, I simply got the AK-47 and modified it, I quite like the result. The Barrett Variant is just a purple Barrett modified.

Done. Thanks :D

I don't mean to brag, but I REALLY like my AK-47 Variant (X53). It's so much better than my first version.

I'm hoping 2057AD will be accepted in the SOldat Community and I also hope that it will be taken online where the maps will be able to deliver their full potential. The maps are quite small and I hope it will keep the soldat style of speed and gore. Just as a notice: The game will be modified, weapons are far deadlier and bullets are faster. Keep your head down.

Title: Soldat 2057AD sounds.
Post by: Gnoblar on April 06, 2009, 09:28:34 pm

First; a question:

Should I go for futuristic, lasery/plamsery/pulsy type sounds, should I go for modern sounds, or should I go for higher pitched sounds of low calibre, yet high powered weaponry (4mm Caseless will be a lot higher pitched then a .30cal M60 [7.62mm]). I think I shoul go for a mix. The bullet sprites will be very small by the way, except the sniper, so it will give the snipers position away (Just like Halo) so you'll have to watch out for the bullet hit marks and the small blue and white flashes of oyur screen.

Second: Where can I get these sounds?

Title: Re: Soldat 2057AD REDUX Last Update: 30th March
Post by: Gnoblar on April 07, 2009, 08:13:30 am

For comparison and lolz, here's my orginal AK47 variant: (http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg66/Darkhawk_II/x53Test.png?t=1239110177)
How horrible is that compared to my new one?
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg66/Darkhawk_II/iwaufe.png?t=1237511223)

Also, all the mods weapons were going to look like that.

Title: Re: Soldat 2057AD REDUX Last Update: 30th March
Post by: croat1gamer on April 07, 2009, 08:41:10 am

the newer one is alot better

sorry for not making the parachutes yet, had some problems with school
ill try to do it this/next week, i should have enough time then

Title: Re: Soldat 2057AD sounds.
Post by: ~Niko~ on April 07, 2009, 09:04:07 am

I'd like few sounds to make the weapons look strong, instead of the shitty ones. I wanna feel powerful :)

Post by: demoniac93 on April 07, 2009, 09:12:34 am

Aren't you going to give the weapons different names? :/
And i think the jet fuel shouldn't be longer than to give a 2 second boost.
As to the maps, i like the way it's looking, quite promising.

1. Yes, just haven't got round to it, next update I promise.
2. Well if you use jets, you get slaughtered. The map(s) are designed for quick and unhindered ground movement, unlike trenchwars where boxes and bunkers slow you down.
3. Thank you.

@croat1gamer: don't rush, but I will very much appreciate them. Could you make them grey/white to fit in with the bleak terrain?

Next update will have some in game screenshots and a view of my awesome explosions, which are edited from 
Mangled's SE ones (I did ask and said it was fine)

Post by: -Skykanden- on April 07, 2009, 12:44:20 pm

Depending on how you want the weapons to be, real bullets or laser ones, I have a few if you want I could search for them

Title: Re: Soldat 2057AD REDUX Last Update: 30th March
Post by: croat1gamer on April 07, 2009, 01:47:44 pm

try finding some from bf2142, as they give a futuristic, but still a partially old school sound
also suggesting some from wh40k, when searching for pure power
for really futuristic sounds take quake/doom/ut

Fair enough. My mistake.

I'll try and get some 2142 sounds. I'm thinking more bullety than lasery. I'll get the sniper to sound really satisfying.

I'll ask for some of the 40K sounds, thanks guys. Update soon, with 2nd map screens, new weapons and weapon names.

what you've done to 3's shading! I preffer the other one
8 is just lovely, I really like it
5 looks a bit strange IMO, you added so many of those lights
maybe you should add some trigger/trigger guard on it and btw Tau Pulse Rifle?

Thanks for the comment on 8.

5 is getting changed. THANK YOU that's it! I based it on a memory of a gun but I couldn't remember which; and then I was looking through a White Dwarf as I read your post and true enough I saw a pulse rifle! That's where it's from...

Yeah, trigger guard, no lights.

Pah. I will edit them, don't worry. All I need is the basic shape to get me going, even if it ends up looking completely different, You're still in the credits. I'm editing first post now.

If you REALLY want I can send you my pre-alpha build. It's very raw right now as I'm working on the visual side.

I'm glad to see some anticipation, thank you.

I've been busy making Halo CE maps as well though, and drawing cartoons. I will work on this for a while now, as I finished my WW1 style halo map.

Expect a descent update by Saturday.

I started with just sticks, the looked like stickmen, and I worked from there. I'm working ok it. They look skinny and black. I'm chunking them up and I'm going to "paint" them as it were (give them some colour). Thanks for the support though.

I'm in no real rush. I'm hoping to release a beta ASAP so I can see if I'm heading down the right path. It will have 1 map (Berlin) and probably all the weapons.

Ok. bumpies time. And a welcomed update I'm sure.

I'm going to push myself to get the mod out in beta stage by Sunday. I will release pictures of the weapons I've done on Saturday Afternoon to give you a peak at it. I'll also update the first page, showing what's in the beta and also I'll  show what I've done and also what I've don and not done, and what I'd like for you as my fellow beta-testers to comment on. If I have time, I'll also make a trailer that will be epic. But that's just icing, I'll bake the cake first.

S**t. Sorry guys, I went over my download limit. It may take longer than I thought to upload. I'm going to upload it on Monday at school hopefully, or at a friends house.

EDIT: God Dammit. I am in the process of getting some sfx. But I'm out of Downloads. I'm really really really sorry, but the beta won't be released until NEXT Sunday, as I will have my downloads back. I'm really sorry guys, but 6kbps just won't cut it. I feel really bad. I'll try to make the mod twice as kick-arse now. I really am sorry guys.

I'm working hard. Prepare for the beta!

Yeah I know. I didn't know my mod is so anticipated, even if only by 4-5 people, it's still a good feeling. MattH is shading my weapons as we speak, as I simply suck at shading.

Sexy weapons, the shading is superb. Anyway, I think the M79 could become some sort of Multi-shot grenade launcher, say like a logical evolution of XM25?

The M2 could become a stationary railgun.

Thank MattH for the shading, I just tinged it orange and increased the contrast. I also made all the weapons fit my style.

Thank you MattH!

Anyway, M79, I was thinking Hi-tech missile launcher, and the LAW the other side's Launcher (You'll know what I mean by other side soonish).

As for M2 Railgun. Done.

Post by: demoniac93 on May 13, 2009, 10:15:43 am

Btw, change the names of the DE's and the Spas, there won't be any of those in 2056...Maybe call them PsEG.223? Or some other crazy names...Same goes for the spass, the mod should have no bullet shooting weps at all, at least that's my opinion, but I think the minigun can stay, as it is quite futuristic...Also, maybe have a light saber instead of the saw? And the knife seems kinda sucky, got any other ideas?

Title: Re: Soldat 2057AD REDUX Last Update: 13th of May
Post by: croat1gamer on May 13, 2009, 11:47:12 am

I might have an idea for the m79.
As you mentioned bf2142, also, you have there the clark 12 rdx, you know, the heavily modified shotgun that shoots some kind of grenades.

Also: shorten the spas and give it an bigger barrel, and maybe a different color tone/shading.

As for parachutes, ill try to do them today, as i finally have some spare time (god bless the school syndicate that is on strike).

edit:
And thank you for making the topic where you placed your vector art, the program for vectors is helping alot with changing the angle of the parachutes (as the object modification doesnt work)

edit:
Allright, found a way to modify the po files, but the closer they are to the body the smaller they are, i would need a help from an profesional on this part.

The knife is unmodified from MattH's design. I'm going to change it to a katana and maybe edit the POA?

All weapons are getting a name change. the default ones are still there as I haven't gotten round to it yet...

Few people has modified any animations or something out of graphics, some graphics start in different possitions and maybe you make the full graphic of the drop pod and would be like that

0 - Drop pod
| - Soldier

So it would be always over the soldier, try to modify the parachute ropes

But as the parachute "disintegrates" when you activiate your jet... if a drop pod disintegrates during a retrodrop.... it could be dangerous....

Post by: MattH on May 14, 2009, 12:17:05 pm

Actually the parachute is made of 2 pieces and it breaks in half when you hit the ground so the idea could work fairly good.You could have an egg shaped pod that would open to let the guy out....

He is getting a bit to realistic.Hes saying that if a real pod were to disintegrate the occupant would be killed.

The droppod is supposed to be falling from the orbital space/dropship/whatever at a very high speed, and delievers the trooper inside to the ground safely. If the droppod disintegrates in the mid-air... uh-oh.

As long as I get them I'll be fine.

Ok. Beta release for sunday.

Things that won't be done fully:

-Drop pods
-sfx
-weapons-fx
-Gosteks
-Only one map released in the beta.
-Completed Interface.
-%100 completed explosions
-Weapons.ini in very basic form, not completely finished at all. I need to you testers to comment on them and make changes as you like, discuss it, I need constructive criticism.

Beta will probably end the following Sunday, though I am willing to let the link stay there.

Prepare for an onslaught!!!

Sorry if I don't get them out on time

Post by: croat1gamer on May 15, 2009, 06:21:50 am

Make me the drop pods, each is 1/2 of the pod, their size should be a bit bigger than the gostek, name them para and para2, they should be equal sized, the size doesnt matter too much.
Only the positioning is bugging me.
Can someone tell me what means which parameter in the .po files?
The first is the x axis, i dont know the second one, while the last is the y axis (and it seems it changes the size also)

Espadon, could you help me with that, as you should know it (otherwise, is lord ivahn active anyhow, doesnt need to be the forums, msn, email, whatever)

By the way, I have exams soon, and I have a mountain of assignments. Please bare with me, I am trying to balance things. I am working on this.

croat1gamer: I really appreciate this by the way, thank you.

Flashback: I was looking at the old thread for 2057AD. It's horrible. It's so much better now.

Update of sorts: depending on how much Halo 3 I play and how much Physics homework I do tomorrow, I might be able to sneak in two maps for the beta. I shall see.

Thanks, @Spas: Maybe slower the bullet speed, that'll be easier as speed->distance.
Oh and I think your idea about making it shoot some sot of really small bombs or something is great, as I doubt people will be using pellets for that xD
Maybe mini C18's?

Post by: Gnoblar on May 16, 2009, 10:24:20 am

The spas shoots pellets, and is a one-hit kill. To balance this, fire interval increased and also range decreased. Using it in close range is unbelievably effective, but at longer ranges, it's useless. I think it's pretty balanced.

Post by: croat1gamer on May 17, 2009, 06:26:37 am

This is your 2nd mod, right?
Looks amazing, there are 2-3 flaws on the weapon alignment, i will try to fix them (so it will be even more awesome).

The m79 clip needs to be blank, and the m79 and law have the worst alignment (ill try to fix, ill send you the fix via pm)

The socom, saw, spas and deagles would need their ingame gfx-es.

The sfx-es are perfect.

And if you dont mod something, dont include it in the zip file, it makes the overall size smaller.

Ill test the wep mod later.

As for map, some advert signs dont look like they are in the right setting.
And much less fuel, and the most places should be able to reach without using fuel, more like with backflipping.

Also, place the map in a topic in the map making subforum.

Also, i can run a server with the wepmod later.

Well SFX are great but all those are from BF2142
Maybe you should make propper folders to select the weapons (interface ones) because it's kind of 'untidy' use Mod config
the GFX looks really nice, specially the fires

Title: Re: BETA - Soldat 2057AD Redux - BETA
Post by: Gnoblar on May 17, 2009, 07:50:21 am

OK. All taken into account. I didn't put much effort into the weapon-gfx unfortunately.

All the sounds are from 2142, I'm not very good at sound editing. I have some new sounds though, like Minimi reload (it's the sound of my cars boot opening and closing.)

Thank you for fixing the weapon alignment, and the map shall recieve it's own topic, where I shall discuss all the maps. I am going to make all the maps larger as well, really large.

How's weapon balance?

This is my first mod by the way.

It looks good, for the final release I would recommend the "fall of the clip" animation." When you reload, the clip falls, but the clip on the gfx doesn't, like in the original soldat. Also, the X58 Rail Gun, the rail in the gfx can be a little higher, because in some backgrounds it doesn't look like it has a rail.

All in all good work, I'm impressed with it.

Title: Re: BETA - Soldat 2057AD Redux - BETA
Post by: Blacksheepboy on May 17, 2009, 02:02:30 pm

I've gotta say, the X7 Gauss Rifle is usually always a one-hit kill, unless I always shoot my opponents in the head... either way, I think it's a little too powerful.  I'd say, try for a one-hit kill to the head, and 2 shots for the body?  I'll test it again to make sure that's not what you already have.

Edit:  Never mind, that's already how you have it set up. Well, I really like the sounds. The explosion sound especially. But the "FRAG!" sound-fx is kinda annoying. If you were able to turn down the volume of the sound, that would be real nice.

Title: Re: BETA - Soldat 2057AD Redux - BETA
Post by: Gnoblar on May 18, 2009, 03:51:19 am

Frag edited, it's a lot quieter now. I lowered the X7's damage slightly, but at the end of the day, you're just a good shot. Also fixed first post a little.

Can I rely on the community to align my weapons, or will I do it (I don't mind either way, it just means longer if I do it)?

Ok, Berlin map subway looks better now, and the size is increased by about 1.5x. Blacksheepboy, I'm going to need to borrow your waypointing skills soon...

Things being worked on: Weapons.ini, sfx, gfx, map(s), Official Trailer for 2057AD, various minor things.

1.They'd probably have super high tech that makes fuel out of black space material...The way that tech looks like.
2.The maps are really big and could use those jets to get from a certain point A to B. Just my opinion though, other than that it looks sweet my friend :)

Lower the jets to very low/minimum and ill add it to my server.
And place those flags.
Also, it could use more colider sceneries.
Alot of them.

I noticed that the map only works in Rambow mode you need to set it to CTF.

Blacksheepboy, I'm going to need to borrow your waypointing skills soon...

Glad to help.

Personally with the shotgun, I like it.. but I never use it.  I know I'm scared when bots come rambo'ing at me with it.

Oi, and "yay!" for the quieter frag sound (:

Alright... Jets with lots of fuel or no fuel?

Was that increase shotguns range by 0.4?

Good. High fuel would screw up my latest map, which is basically an "attack the mountain" type map.

That trailer was slapped together in about ten minutes, the release trailer will be better.

So please guys, try out the beta and please tell me what needs improving!!! Time is running out!

croat1gamer: Drop pod status?

And is anyone going to do my weapons-gfx, or will I have to do them myself?

Most of them aren't. All the bullets are fine, and everything is the right size, they just need to be aligned correctly.

Next week ends school, so i would have more time, also im having a summer job, so im on the same, but i wont have to learn, so i will have additional 3 hours.
The para gfx-es are partially ready, im not sure if ill leave them, as i think this will need some serious size changing and rotating.

Also, i can do the aligning too.

If it's about team play make it fast, if it's about solo skills (A vid of your own playing) make it slow. (I just know...)

Post by: Gnoblar on June 03, 2009, 09:09:57 am

What do you mean by "make it fast"? Do you mean the gameplay or the video (fast paced)?

 It's about teamplay and I've tried to make the weapons have different rolls (suppresion, attacking, defending) unlike normal soldat which all weapons are "even" and require you to be good with it. A good 2057AD player will pin the enemy down and weaken dthem, whilst an MP5 (Hellfire) will mop them up, and while they reload the support covers them. I've put a lot of thought into this though I'll need to see it played online to perfect it.

I can't wait to see how the community welcomed it.

The video itself, if it's a solo man view then make it play slow, if it's about team play make it roll a bit fast, with occasional slow motion actions...

When am I getting my weapons-gfx?

I've been fixing the current one, but it's not that good, I can't get the weapon alignment very good.

Hmmm. It seems I've been abandoned. I'll release 1.0 for 2057AD on wednesday, as that's when i'll have access to my PC.

Sorry for the delay, it seems life (and Halo 3) have a way of replacing soldat modding.

Version 1.0 is good though, have no fear!

Well, if you did everything that you had to do to release a first version you may think about adding some special stuff. Special stuff is everytime a good way to complete a mod really :) Maybe add some funny gosteks or fun weapons like having instead of a LAW something that throws mines that explode just after 8 seconds and you can walk through without getting damage while your enemies die ;) There are a lot of things you can do about that stuff [pigtail]

I will download the first version for real 8)

No, at this point going off the course would mess it up, don't screw with the original idea to keep the feel of the mod, this might be the first mod I'll actually keep after downloading. Let it stay at that...

Don't feel bad. I postpone releases for things all the time... Instead of focusing on finishing one map, I start working on 3 or 4. Two of the maps permanently become unfinished ideas; the other 1-2 don't get finished/released for several months. I bide my time ;)

If you finished the basic structure.
Including weapons, sounds, sceneries, gosteks, and all that, release it, an upload a patch or something later.

If you don't mind me saying... frankly, your map is kinda terrible.

The polybugs are wicked, and those crates are a bad addition to that tunnel. The bridge thing to the right: it's hard to tell where it ends; you fall off and you're like "wtf..?" The Halo signs are superfluous, and uh.. shall we say, out of place? I suppose if it were to simulate advertising in a city, then that's okay; they pass.

It could use some work.

You might start to think, "Hey look pal, if you're going to be crit-" but then that's where I come in and say, "Don't worry, I'll give you a sketch with critiques in due time." Then you'll have something to work off of. Until then, good luck!
