Alright, I have to explain what's happened.

The group that was going to produce the main game, which would have been a multiplayer FPS, essentially kicked out the project manager/creator for being a do-nothing sillykins. He took as many rights as possible with him.

This means I can not use the names "OMNI," or "FTF," or any of the character names previously used. The OMNI society makeup is also held by him, and if he liked to, he could prove his ownership of those rights, so OMNI is pretty much off-limits for now.

I have retained all weapons, fortunately, except the flamer SMG some of you might remember, as it was originally his design. I revamped it entirely myself, but I don't mind losing it, as it was a stupid concept anyway.

So there. Sorry to everyone who contributed to or hoped for this mod. I would like to do something else, but with my future plans and generally busy schedule/life that outlook is looking less likely. I haven't even designed a firearm in ages, if it's any consolation.

Consider this mod canceled.

Project Mars (SOL: H3)

Well, the primary mod has changed focus, from an RTS to an FPS multiplayer. As such I've designed a billion more guns, which can be applicable to a Soldat mod.

While I can do concept art and illustration, I tend to suck dismally at pixel art and various other Soldat things. As such, I need a lot of help. Namely, the following:

Interface art, including guns, graphics, etc.
In-game art, including weapons and gosteks
Maps (self-explanatory, PM me for details).

If you're interested in contributing anything at all, just post here or PM me. I'd prefer participants to have at least a couple mods under their belt, or at least significant experience in pixel art. Anyhow, here's the goods.

so far, the decisions on possible use of guns are thus (by number in the picture)

SOCOM: 1 and 27

DE: 23

MP5: 8 and 24

AK: 3, 11, 26, 30

AUG: 5

SPAS: 19

RUGER: 29

M79: 4

Barret: 20

minimi: 18

minigun: 13

bow: to be decided

flamer: weapon being redesigned

knife: to be decided

chain saw: to be decided

LAW: LMG, not shown

grenade: air strike
cluster nade: air strike

here are the soldier designs:

OMNI Unitarian:

OMNI Medium Shock Trooper:

OMNI Pathfinder:

(desert camo- http://www.sheezyart.com/view/777401/)

OMNI unnamed unit:

OMNI field commander:

OMNI Space Combat Suit

FTF South American Geurilla:

FTF Arab Raider:

FTF Aussie techie:

FTF Infantry:

FTF Experimental Commando:

FTF Extravehicular Combat (EVC) Specialist. (Also known as 'Black Butterflies')

anyone who would like to help in any way at all would be tremendously appreciated!

This is the kind of preliminary concept work that I'd like to see more of in soldat modding. Nice one.

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #2 on:** June 20, 2006, 01:57:53 pm »

Thanks! This has to hold for a few mods, so a lot of designs need to go into it XD

PapaSurf · « **Reply #3 on:** June 20, 2006, 02:45:53 pm »

I love that SMG, PDW design. Very post modern and stylish, reminds me of a cross between a TMP and a P90.

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #4 on:** June 20, 2006, 04:14:39 pm »

heh that's almost exactly what it's based on, along with the AUG (and reflex sight of the MTAR)

Mistercharles · « **Reply #5 on:** June 20, 2006, 06:12:24 pm »

I'm just curious, what type of terrian would this warfare take place on? I'm a so-so mapper ( 1 2 3 4 5 ), and I think I might be able to make a few maps that would fit the mod.

Wraithlike · « **Reply #6 on:** June 20, 2006, 06:19:49 pm »

I could also help with the maps, and if needed, with the interface guns.

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #7 on:** June 20, 2006, 06:44:35 pm »

*luffs!!*

for maps, they'll be on the ground (no jets). places like siberia, australia, south america, africa, the middle east, and since this is in the future, japanese islands (technological domes). i encourage a lot of creativity!

lots of water all around due to ocean levels rising and such... this is after a couple world wars and nuclear fallout.

Wraith, thanks! I think I have all the pictures you'll need linked or shown... anything you can do I will gladly accept!

You said it was going to be an RTS? How do you expect to manage that?

KamikazeDuck · « **Reply #9 on:** June 20, 2006, 07:38:54 pm »

I could help with mapping too, Australia... hehe.

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #10 on:** June 20, 2006, 09:28:44 pm »

Plonkoon:

'Project Mars' is a storyline that our team will use to mod /different games/ for instance, we're modding star wars: EAW and the soon-to-be-released C&C3... those are the RTS's i was talking about

in the meantime, using the same storyline and weapons and infantry, i'm modding soldat.

Kamikaze: That'd be awesome.

Plonkoon · « **Reply #11 on:** June 20, 2006, 10:49:34 pm »

Well why didn't you say so?

I hope this one comes out soon.

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #12 on:** June 20, 2006, 11:56:06 pm »

hehe.

...me too..

Wraithlike · « **Reply #13 on:** June 21, 2006, 02:00:21 am »

I have the first draft of the Mp5 replacement. I have a single one for refrence and the dual ones that I suppose you will use. These aren't final, and I'm completely willing to change anything.

Dual

Single

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #14 on:** June 21, 2006, 02:06:52 am »

HOMG SECKS!!! that is fairly amazing. thank you!

Father Grigori · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2006, 06:14:54 am »

Hmm. I love the mp5 options. Maybe ill try to make one someday.

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2006, 02:16:03 pm »

lol father, feel free, but wraith beat you to it!

TBDM · « **Reply #17 on:** June 22, 2006, 02:55:33 pm »

seems like a well thought mod and stuff, hope it will turn out good

goof luck with it and have fun in the making ^^

xtishereb · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2006, 07:32:45 pm »

Well, I just whipped up a quick shrink job for the interface of one of the Minimi options with GIMP and Paint. And by "quick" I mean 15 minutes. So yeah, it's just a rough draft. It needs more shading and some more detail, but the colors and shape should be pretty close.

Svirin Kerath · « **Reply #19 on:** June 22, 2006, 07:40:53 pm »

muy wonderful-o! i await the finished version!
