Gosteks:
German Infantry: (http://i26.tinypic.com/zk1s3c.png)
~:|Goal of this mod|:~
to give soldat players a well balanced and realistic WWI mod (devised mainly for TW servers)
and to create ALL the available weapons to All armed forces during the span of the war.
(As a note...I'm thinking of changing the name of this mod because now that I think of it "To End All Wars" it the name of a WWII Movie ::))
-
Looking nice from what I can tell, but that's not a whole lot. Post the zoomed out versions alongside the large images.
-
Yeah please don't zoom them in, it looks horrible.
Looks good though, nice variety.
Also, some ideas for weapon balance, bolt actions are two hit kill (one HS) with long fire interval and very short start up time. Make the snipers the same as Barrett, and make the minigun a vickers.
They're just some ideas.
-
How many sets of gosteks should I make because so far I am thinking of making:
American Marines
German Foot soldiers
British "Tommys"
Ottoman Infantry
-
Well American/British/Australian all looked the same really, so you should make an "Allied" Gostek. Then German gosteks, then Russian, there's no real need for Ottoman Infantry, though the more the merrier!
-
Take a look at a world map of the opposing sides during WWI. That might give you a better idea of just how to break up your gosteks.
All I see now is a bunch of white guys duking it out. That, and the whole gun thing other people pointed out.
-
For gosteks you should make frech soldiers, the battles in France were really important.
save the images as bmp or png just to improve resolution.
For now the weapons a really great, some TW servers should have a mod like that one, if you make a great .ini
-
French soldiers will be added mmk...
As for battles the miracle at the marne will (hopefully be one)
Another cool map would be Jutland (you could have 2 ships side by side)
I'll come up with more Ideas later
And now that I think about it I will need a map maker to help me (I can't map for my life)
And finally can some one help me with the Lewis's mag?
-
The Lewis is fine, but I don't know what's beneath it on the image.
Make a french Chauchat please! Looking forward to release, because it looks promising.
-
I was planning on making the Chauchat the stat so....but I'm not going to make that just yet.
-
Why you don't do anything else than rifles?
-
What else is there to make???
WWI was not known for a large variety of weapons the world was just starting to use machine guns after all.....
-
Ohh Niko... WWI, assault rifles were created on WWII
-
What are the thoughts on the weapons so far??
And what other weapons would you like to see?
-
http://www.firstworldwar.com/weaponry/machineguns.htm
At the bottom of the page
Google: "ww1 automatic weapons" for more weapons.
-
That will REALLY help Thanks ;D
If anyone has a WWI gun that they want me to make just tell me the name and I'll try to work it into the mod.
-
They look really nice. I will make some maps if you want.
-
Dont make the ingame saw with the "smoke", but mod the chainsaw-fire, as for the interface saw, less of that "smoke"
-
Yes, the smoke is irritating and not necessary, looking good what I see, though
-
Yes I'm not very good at making smoke I'm afraid....
As for maps I'll take you up on your offer gnoblar.
-
nice weapon man i love it.. ;D
im goin to start my own mod after i know to mod ta is.. [pigtail]
if i were moding tis is my tittle_ Operations Montagnard
-
Well all non-school related things are to be put on stand by until exams finish, which is after next week. Then I'll finish 2057AD and make your maps, with a muddy and rainy feel.
-
Here:
(http://i42.tinypic.com/1zgxhcm.jpg)
This is just a quick sketch (Mainly the city should be more detailed)
And don't add the sunlight.
Here's another:
(http://i44.tinypic.com/2dqj9nb.jpg)
Again don't make them just how I show them (or else they would be lame)
-
No they're pretty nice for a 5 min job. I'll definatley make them. Just need exams to pass...
-
hmmm 5mins work ta a pro work man
-
Over view of how the mod looks right now:
(http://i44.tinypic.com/2zzj3io.jpg)
(Sorry for the poor quality of the pic)
-
Looks really nice but would be great to have the pic as .png or .bmp
-
Maybe it's because host auto-conversion after upload... Some image hosters converts uploaded .bmp into .jpg, so try save screenshots in .png before uploading into photobucket or tinypic. Or add picture using attachment to post.
-
a good image hoster is imageshack.us since they don't really convert any pic unless you tell them to do so. but anyway, nice work, its breath of fresh air in the modding industry... if you know what i mean :)
-
The MKIII's barrel point looks weird...(Too wide)
-
The MK III has a grenade launching attachment (this is why it takes the place of the M79)
I'm at a roadblock I don't know what to use for the HK or the Spas please help...
-
Spas
http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh41-e.htm
Remington 11, was used even before ww1.
MP5
http://www.firstworldwar.com/atoz/mgun_mp18.htm
http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg76-e.htm
MP-18, the predecessor of MP40, which is the predecessor of MP5
-
Thank You.
And yes I'm useless at digging up old weapons (although I personally know a ton more than your average person knows about firearms)
New pic:
(http://i40.tinypic.com/xeheh0.jpg)
(Sorry its still poor quality)
Which looks better?
(http://i41.tinypic.com/30arorl.jpg)
or.
(http://i44.tinypic.com/faucty.jpg)
-
Go with the first and adjust the colors
-
2nd looks clearer and has the better feel.
-
I already setteled on which mp18 to use....see what you think...
Here:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2vsnotu.png)
In the end I just mixed the 2 weapons and got this....
Oh yes and one thing that I will need that I don't have the skill to make.....Explosions
-
Here are two explosions that you may use (from my Explosive v2.5 mod that you can find here: ClickMe (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=32812.0))
-
They look good I'll try em out and tell you what I think ;)
*EDIT* There really good but with firestorm (1 not 2) could you "concentrate" it a little bit more....
-
You have to use a REAL explosion, no funny/outplaced gifs.
-
I just tweeked it Now it looks awesome :D shall i post a pic to see what you think?
*EDIT*
I was thinking that I might get some people to do some beta testing(preferably someone that has made a mod of there own).
Please if you want the beta contact me and I'll try to send a copy to you...
-
BETA COPY IS NOW UP FOR DOWNLOAD
Feel free to give comments, opinions and criticism
(Download link Is on the first page)
-
Weapons are oversized in comparing towards the gosteks.
-
Are you talking about all the weapons or just a few?
Because overall Autos and Rifles from WWI were Very large (for instance the Lewis was operated by 2 men not 1)
-
Alright, you can count on me Matth, I will test it out :) Just a little thing: If you take my firestorm, please give me credit ;)
-
Okay I'll credit you after all you do deserve it...but mind you I edited it a fair deal...
-
1) put guns into a folder you call interface-gfx
2) put explosion into a folder you call sparks-gfx
3) remove explosion 17 + 18, they are from an other firestorm
-
Because overall Autos and Rifles from WWI were Very large (for instance the Lewis was operated by 2 men not 1)
Bayonet, its even bigger than the gostek.
The most weapons overall, also, the socom placement should be a bit closer to the body, and some minor alignment stuff.
And wth are the clusters?
-
Is the bayonet bigger? no the rifle + the bayonet is...but i still will shrink it.....
Yep I do have some alignment problems...I'll work on that...
Don't worry about the clusters....I'm still messing with them.
With the firestorm I was hoping that you could tweak my version of it a bit
I mean concentrate it a bit more....
-
With the firestorm I was hoping that you could tweak my version of it a bit
I mean concentrate it a bit more....
Hm, what do you mean exactly?
-
Sort of make it smaller....but more solid so that it looks like its coming form a single place, because it looks more like a spontaneous combustion not a explosion from a grenade.
(I hope I'm explaining this well but if not tell me)
here's a preview of another weapon:(http://i43.tinypic.com/2jf0ego.png) basically a shortened Lewis.
Also a weapon most people know the B.A.R. :(http://i41.tinypic.com/2rmv612.png) (but most people don't know that it was used in WWI but saw very little use because it was made in the last year of the war)

If you need more insight on weapons like the BAR play medal of honor 1.
Most of what I see here I've seen there.
-
Why do I feel like nobodies really interested in this mod.....
I mean really 1 vote on the poll?
whatever....
-
Dont make opinion based on polls for things like THIS. There is always need for zombie themed mods because playing only with Boogie Mans on zombie maps is not enough. And even best scripts on servers without good graphics and sounds is not full satisying. Zombie mode with zombie mod (not just only bots, scripts or maps) is complete zombie experience.
-
*BUMP*
I feel that I have left some unfinished business here...
More to come screens of the new interface and revamped weapons interface.
As well as a name change.
Quick pic: (http://i40.tinypic.com/2w3xs8j.png)
New set of goals: make a reasonable mod with one weapon set and all around decent graphics.
Something for you all to help with.
New name:
Trench war soldier
Trench combat
The Trench war fighter
etc...
(yes this will play best on a TW server)
-
Nice, you've come a long way.
-
Nice, you've come a long way.
I smell sarcasm :P and spam to, if I'm not much mistaken.
the Interface is almost finished.
-
Then finish it instead of being paranoid about compliments.
-
I am hardly "paranoid about compliments" after all since when did you ever compliment anyone for anything? :P
So the logical deduction, would be that you where being sarcastic.
From: April 06, 2010, 12:07:26 pm
Here is the beta interface : (http://i44.tinypic.com/2mext8w.png) The health interface is the least finished.
-
Nice one, but stay with zombie theme as earlier.
-

I'll add the zombie expansion after I have finished the main mod its self (the main reason) I quit last time was because I had overwhelmed myself by adding to many side projects.

Almost finished with sfx YAY! next step after that is the gosteks, then fix up the little bugs here and there and I'm finished.
From: April 07, 2010, 07:49:01 pm
I am almost finished now. Just need to make one more set of gosteks and finish the .ini and text modding.
ETA : No later then Wednesday next week (taking into account the fact that I am going to be fairly busy the rest of this week)
-
omfg its look so damn awsome its unfair.
-
Finished up the Sfx today, and the interface along with most of the txt and the .ini, but i still need to make the last set of gosteks, and clean up the first set.
-
your doing great on this mod matt
-
I'm kind of ticked off with myself right now, mainly because I HAD team 2 gosteks that I made when I first started this mod, but somehow I guess they got deleted, so I have to start from scratch.
Other news: I have the sfx 99.2 % finished and the interface is 100 % finished, although there are some bugs that I need to work out with the weapons-gfx.
So all in all I hope to be finished very shortly.
-
I'd be disappointed if your bayonet charge sfx doesn't have the soldat yelling.
-
I'd be disappointed if your bayonet charge sfx doesn't have the soldat yelling.
I know what you mean, and I would be also...soooo... you got any sound files of battle cries?
because I have looked, and can't find any. (BTW thats the 0.8 % of the Sfx that isn't finished)
A link, would be GREATLY appreciated.
-
Use the stock roar.wav for it as espadon said.
-
I guess that might work...But I wanted something more "Original" if you know what I mean.
-
If you own a mic, make your own ;) I'd do it for you, but I lack a voice at the moment due to... a pesky flu :(
-

Unfortunately I don't have a mic, so that wont work,but thanks for the offer anyway.
-
How long will it take you to work out bugs/tidy up the final product? I might attempt to scream into a mic within the next 24 hours if its for a good cause :)

LOL! I'll be a few (meaning like 2 or 3) days still until I feel ready to post the mod, so there is no "real" rush to get sfx.
From: April 10, 2010, 08:15:11 pm
If you do make the screaming sfx for me, I will make sure to note in the credits that you donated your soul, to help make this mod :D
From: April 10, 2010, 10:34:54 pm
Just a question...Should I keep the mod name, or change it?
From: April 11, 2010, 09:12:54 am
Just wanted to say, that I tried using the stock roar.wav file for the chainsaw...and, well lets just say...Its the MOST irritating thing I have ever heard.
From: April 11, 2010, 09:17:22 am
Oh! and one more thing about the sfx, the CTF.wav file (that's when you capture not when you grab the flag btw) has been known to give people heart attacks, and leave them drooling on their keyboards,in pure shock.....Just a warning... xD
-
i can provide some sounds if you asked. ive got sounds from various games, like Mount and blade which features ALOT of screaming, especially like "DIE BASTARDS!", with additional roars and grunts.
As for victory sounds, ive got some from medieval II total war, they can do the CTF sounds where a group of soldiers are cheering.
-

o.O wha.... wow um i might not download now xd

I'll take them :D (yes that means that I am 'asking" :P ) but just one thing, they need to be .wav files (although I can convert them it just makes it easier on me)
-
Just use the screams from the Serious Sam headless kamikazes.
They're epic.
-
German Gosteks : (http://i44.tinypic.com/21nieko.png) Any thoughts?
From: April 13, 2010, 09:49:32 am
Look Out! the mod might be posted either today, or tomarrow...
-
For Any that might read this ~:|THE MOD, WILL BE RELEASED TODAY|:~ (considering its 12:00 AM at the moment) So, keep your eyes sharp, and you might be the first to download.
-
Do you still want the screaming/lunge sound? My voice is back now ;)
-
If you could get that for me I still would take it.
I have something that works, but I would liked to have had more options...
-
Within the next 24 hours... for sure. Tell me what you're looking for, I'll do it ;)
-
well, sorry for the wait.
here are just a handful of sounds ive selected from Medieval II Total war.
damn it, having problems with the uploads. ill try again in an hour or two.
-
Within the next 24 hours... for sure. Tell me what you're looking for, I'll do it ;)
Something that sounds good when repeated, so more of an undefined war cry.
I will still take Sfx at this point (But the mod will still be released today).
-
I'll get on it right now ;)
Edit: done :) Not sure if they'll be useful, but they may help.
See attached ZIP.
-
They are a bit to long (there is like a 2 second limit on most of the files) so I'll have to crop them a bit.
But they are cool ;D
-
no problems dude, glad to help :) Give us a bell when your mod is released :)
-
MOD POSTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
