Mod by UltimateCole

The XM8 Mod is an almost-full replacement mod for the Freeware game Soldat.
Details:
This mod replaces almost all weapons (excluding the knife, chainsaw, flamer, and rambo bow) with XM8 variants or relatives. The weapons layout and changes are as follows:
USSOCOM --> M8SA1 Pistol*** (Damage much higher, ROF slightly higher, ammo capacity slightly lower, muzzle velocity higher, accuracy slightly lower)

Desert Eagles --> XM8 Burst Fire Mode (Damage slightly higher, ROF higher, ammo capacity higher, reload time higher, speed much higher, accuracy lower)

HK MP5 --> XM8 Compact** (ROF slightly higher, reload time slightly higher, muzzle velocity much higher, accuracy slightly lower)

Ak-74 --> XM8 UCEV*** (Damage higher, ROF slightly higher, ammo capacity slightly higher, reload time lower, startup time higher, accuracy lower)

Steyr AUG --> XM8 Carbine (Damage much higher, ROF slightly higher, ammo capacity higher, reload time higher, muzzle velocity higher, accuracy lower)

Spas-12 --> XM8 w/ Masterkey (Damage much higher, ammo capacity much lower)

Ruger 77 --> XM25 (Damage much higher, ROF slightly higher, ammo capacity higher, reload time much higher, speed lower, accuracy lower)

M79 --> XM8 w/ XM320 (Damage much higher, ROF much lower, reload time much lower, speed much higher)

Fictional Weapon Profiles:


M8SA1 (XM8) PISTOL
The M8SA1 Pistol is the newest gun in the M8 Series. Although officially designated the M8SA1, (M8 Side Arm 1), it was based off the XM8 Compact Carbine. It has remarkably high stopping power and a medium-sized 10-round clip, but also has extremely high recoil. Flashlight optional.


XM8L1 Quad Cannon
As time went on after the first M8 models rolled out, the XM214 mounted minigun became dated and old. Its successor, the XM8L1, although still in the late prototype stages, is showing promise. Using 7.62 x 5.11mm rounds, it is the first man-portable fixed-barrel gun capable of maintaining a ROF of 2500RPM, based loosely off of METALSTORM.


XB450 (Rocket Launcher)
The XB450 is an experimental unguided multi-use rocket launcher designed shortly after the XM8L1. Despite its high penetrating power and advanced rangefinder system, its unreliability and inaccuracy have caused much controversy over the usefulness of the weapon. It is not likely to ever become a rocket launcher used on the front lines.


XM8 UCEV
While the XM8 remains one of the best weapons available, it is still not perfect. The XM8 UCEV was created to counter most of the XM8's design flaws. Using a new 40-round clip and a highly advanced see-and-shoot targeting system, the UCEV is proven more effective than the original XM8, though ironicly it is slightly less accurate. It uses the same 5.56 x 45mm ammunition as the XM8.

** Variant of XM8 Carbine
*** Fictional Weapon made by UltimateCole unrelated to the actual XM8.

-Added a new weapon: The XML9 Rail Gun! Inarguably the most powerful man-portable weapon available, it can kill anything in a single hit! Now available for use today!
-The XM25 and XM320 sound effects have been edited to fit the weapons.
-Added realistic weapons configuration file. You can now use the XM8 mod with the Realistic setting!

-Added a new weapon: The XM8 Burst Fire Carbine: An XM8 without full-auto capabilities, this gun is deadly accurate at medium range! (Replaces Desert Eagles)

Hermmm...*Cough* o_O O_o lol that XM8 looks to familiar.

This Croatian, is why some modders get sort of angry....

To use the XM8 that you did (In a mod that you would be publishing) you first need to get permission from the person (people in this case) that made it.

The XM8 that you're using was originally made by -Skykaden- then modified by me.

In short, Ask next time don't rip, cuz u will only look bad in the end.

To be honest you people make me sad  honestly all you needed to do was ask.....

* BDV=Black Devil Variant. This version, originally created by BlackDevil himself, is less powerful than the XM8 Carbine, but more accurate.
** Variant of XM8 Carbine
*** Silenced
**** KCV=Keron Cyst Variant. This version, originally created by Keron Cyst himself, reloads much faster than the original LAW.

These are credits ...I guess. (?)

those are 2 of the guns that he used, BUT the weapon that he used the most was the one that -sky- made (if you actually looked at the pic you would have noticed that  )

[-Skykanden-]

Oh sorry dude. I didnt know it was urs. A friend of mine, (DIFFERENT friend), had said he made it and gave it to me to use in this mod. Sorry about that. I can completely re-do it myself, if you wish. Sorry guys.

Alright, ill take the D\L off the web. Sorry for the confusion guys.

On the other hand, the parts you modded, look pretty decent.
Try making a few weapon interfaces from scratch.

[MattH]

Yea, i think ill completely re-make it with something else. Maybe desert camo?

On another note, what do you guys think I should do with the DEagles and XM214?

[fulro]

oooo i cant DL it

[UltimateCole]

oooo i cant DL it

Well I took the D/L off the web temporarily so I could re-make the mod, as to avoid more confrontations. It should be back up within the next week. (9/12 at the most.)

[UltimateCole]

Forgive me for Double-Posting (again), but I just wanted to let everyone know that an updated version is now out. Please refer to the initial post for more details, and thank you everyone for your support. I never could've done this without you. (Well, maybe I could've but you get the point.)

[-Skykanden-]

Can you take out that image,i wouldn't be proud of that (I mean the 1st post one)

[UltimateCole]

Sure. Sorry for all the confusion. No hard feelings?

[Dairy]

1. Show unzoomed version as well.
2. Add more darker colors.
3. Now it's nice and yours, so there is no need of the 1st old picture with "their" work.

[MattH]

Also save the file as a .Png then upload it again that will get rid of the "fuzzy" look.

Anyhow, it looks really nice I gotta say GJ.

Minigun replacement random blotch texture is still random.
