Are you absolutely sure you made that yourself?

[Mora2]

Where  can i download the pulse rifle??

[der bastler]

@<hidden>:

I&#39;ve released the pulse rifle this afternoon, you can get it here (http://www.ofp-zone.de).

[Mora2]

Woa,thanks,fast reply...

[Mora2]

Can you put th exact link?? i don´t understand German.. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Mora2]

Don´t worry i´ve already seen it ,thanks

[zippyo]

yes I made it matthijs.....I love the criticism....could be from the late post of someone finding a site with aliens models ... well i checked it out too but a 50000 poly model will seldom go into ofp lol. yes I have that model as well and I have used it for references but I also own the replica model itself with blueprints and stuff also have screengrabs of its evolution thru oxy but I dont think that I should be making excuses to you anyhow the reason of the post is news update on upcoming model so maybe a little more constructive criticism perhaps

maybe check out my other work

Wow, great so far.
Waiting to see it with textures.
Maybe the next project would be the Aliens APC?

[FidelKGB]

Yeah i like M41 and dropship will be cool but here is question where will get their enemies as far as i know we don´t have any referces to them.but i would like to see more sci-fi things in Flashpoint like Morita rifle and the fortress from planet P(both from starship troopers) and i fully agree with this guys who wan´t some of this equipment too.BTW i download Starship troopers mod for Duke Nukem 3d worty download.

[zippyo]

[TaNK_Em]

Awsome work man&#33; The aliens APC with the turret up and down (2 differnt viechles) the dropship some marine models hehe bad ass maybe a riply model? and the auto loader you know the future forklift that would be cool and the dropship (pelican) from the game HALO that would own&#33;

[Frugo_PL]

And finally&#33; AvP 2 in OFP http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif It can make REALLY good missions. Now just get me an Alien model (it doesn&#39;t have to walk on wals) and we are done&#33; I am looking forward into it&#33;

PS. The pulse rifle should have a 99 count magazine + an 8 count granade launcher.

[der bastler]

@<hidden>:
Oh, my sources say:
- clips hold a maximum of 95 rounds to prevent jamming
- five grenades

Recently I read something about four grenades... *?*
Well, investigating is hard with many sources differing in some points... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[TaNK_Em]

One more thing any release date set i cant wait to fly the dropship into a russian shit hole with a bunch of marines loaded in the back hmm or is it posible to have the APC modeld inside the dropship so when ure siting in the back u have the feeling of the APC i recal the counter on the Pulse riffle over 90 not sure

[zippyo]

the dropship has its own internal cargo space for seating marines as well but I can always model the apc&#39;s inside into the view-cargo LOD. also plan on making static model so you can walk up the ramp inside

zippy

[TaNK_Em]

Sounds good

[supergruntsb78]

cant wait for the dropship to arrive http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Ixian]

omfg that model kicks ass I cant wait. Why not just make a OFP Aliens Mod lol.


Hey are you going to make the APC in the movie aliens also&#33; that would pwn

[vade_101]

if anyone does fancy making a colonial marine model (or reskin) there are some good photographs Here (http://www.alienscollection.com/props.html)

[Jester983]

Wow looks great. Keep up the good work http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Adammo]

I also have this same model...downloaded.. would be great though if it were textured and interior was done.

[Major Fubar]

Maybe you can do like the makers of the Antonov did: 1 functional model, and 1 static for driving APCs out of...

[KuRoKo]

there is only one thing I can say about this one ^_^

Go baby go.. I am so disapointed that there aren&#39;t many unrealistic addons out there, why confine ourselfs.. OFP is so free and open that is one of the best things about it.

between hoverboards, jump ships and maybe even the offchance of a mech/AC coming out ^_^ I think unrealistic is fun.

[bflidifyed]

any sort of release date on that monster http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif cos i love AvP
anyone thought ov makin a predator model??? go invisible and has a kick ass sholder cannon http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Frugo_PL]

I am starting to work on M557 APC ARMOURED PERSONAL CARRIER. In another words: the alien APC  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif  Here are some pix for those who don&#39;t know wut I am talking about:

http://assall.de/movie-prop/ aliens/a2_61.jpg




Help would be greatly apreciated.

[UKSubmariner]

Awwww man, this stuff looks so cool.... people have been talking about and attempting to do the dropship and APC for ages.....


Now where are the marines?? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[zippyo]

well the dropship should keep me busy for a little while longer plus I ain&#39;t into fiddlin&#39; with characters and their animations so dunno about the marines but this ship is shippin&#39; soon and we&#39;ll see where Frugo_PL gets with the APC....(hmmm that looks much easier to make) Also got two cropdusters on the way see the ADDONS forum for some screenshots....so patience fellows....

zip

[Frugo_PL]

I must admit that the APC is far easier than the dropship... Well, for me it is harder because I do not have any *.paa&copy; pics of it, so I have to do it in "by the eye" style... I will relese the APC pretty soon, don&#39;t expect months of waiting.

[TaNK_Em]

Good i hate waiting along time for a addon even if its very good http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[USMC Sniper]

Wow that looks awesome&#33;&#33; Are you going to do USCM next?

BTW, isnt it funny how in many sci-fi movies, soldiers are always marines, even though there is no water around? Marines are supposed to be a water based battalion (hence, MARINEs, marine coming from marina), not an urban fighting force&#33;

[der bastler]

I think we should bundle our work (apc, dropship, M41) and release it as USCM-Mod&#33;

Er,... who wants to make the soldiers? And who wants to build missions? I&#39;ll provide one mission with a story around a stolen sniper rifle prototype...

[zippyo]

Tank_EM finished the site go look

http://www11.brinkster.com/tankem/zippy/main.htm

all news shall be posted there plus upcoming releases of the Antonov An-2 and the dropship

zip

[zippyo]

Anybody up for a little modelling? to speed it up a little maybe someone can start on the interior LODS?
lemme know

zip

[der bastler]

Look here (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?browsewhat=0&category=0_6), you could add a functioning landing gear...

[zippyo]

the dropship will have to be able to hover which means it is in a chopper class (no gear stuff http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif )
zip

[DragoFire]

I have only one problem with this model&#33;

The problem is, it has a two person walk-in cockpit, carries an APC which is longer than a Tank Chassis and as wide.

This model should be a lot bigger than it is. I&#39;d suggest you get ALIENS out on video/dvd and check the ALIEN web sites to get your scale right.

By the way the pilot sits to the right rear of the cockpit and the co-pilot walks down the left to his/her seat.

I&#39;ll see if I can get the measurments for you along with some photo&#39;s.

Define landing gear animations (animate LandContact-lod?). We&#39;ll see how we can activate them...

[Soul_Assassin]

Animations cant be triggered in-flight http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[der bastler]

if (height<10m) && (gear is up) play animation "gear down"
if (height>=10m) && (gear is down) play animation "gear up"

Or try to use AddAction. Some kind of work-around...

[The_Captain]

I "accidentally borrowed" all the models and textures from AvP1 and 2 if anyone&#39;s interested. (3ds and jpg format)

I think it&#39;s okay to use them if you credit the original authors.

[USMC Sniper]

u83r_h4x0r@<hidden>

send them now. BTW, does that include characters? If so, TIME TO IMPORT SOME STUFF&#33;&#33;&#33;

[DragoFire]

Here&#39;s some info for you.

Spec.s for Dropship;
Crew: Pilot and Chief/Weapons Officer

Engines: 2 Republic Dynamics TF-900 turbines each rated at 310 kN dry thrust and 2 TF-220/A-14 combined cycle engines.

Dimensions
Height: 6.05 m
Length: 25.18 m
Span: 12.59 m

Weights
Loaded: 18,260 kg
Maximum Loaded: 34,630 kg

Performance: Power to weight ratio (loaded) 1:3.3; (maximum loaded) 1:1.7. Range is variable dependant on mission profile, load and ambient atmospheric conditions, but the UD4L is capable of dropping a load from low orbit, landing vertically, and lifting to orbit again from a vertical launch.

Armament:
1 x 25 mm gatling gun with 900 rounds
32 x 150 mm unguided rockets
12 x 70 mm unguided rockets
8 x 120 mm guided rockets
7 x AGM-220 air-to-ground missiles
3 x TSAM threat suppression missiles
3 x AIM-90 short range air-to-air missiles


The UD4L Dropship is a versatile dropship and tactical transport. It was derived from an original Department of Defense requirement formulated at the end of the Tienstin conflict. It acts as a gunship by using its own internal gun and deploying weapon pods and hardpoints for rockets and missiles. The principle airframe is constructed from superplastic-formed diffusion-bonded metal matrix composites (MMC) and its 103.6 cubic meter internal payload bay can easily fit a M577 A.P.C. (turret stowed). The engines can produce exceptionally high thrust for low specific fuel consumption. The UD4L Dropship is also called a "Cheyenne." It has AN/ALQ-2004E defensive systems to keep it well protected. It has two types of power plants to allow vertical take-off capability (VTOL) hover to the hypersonic trans-atmospheric.

Pilot and Co-pilot seating
http://www.planetavp.com/al/Aliens/Vehicles/dropshipp2.jpg
http://www.avp2.net/ae/dropship2_bigmug.jpg

A Gunship version has been noted around the web with only the follow details;
Gunship carries more armour and ammo than Dropship and also has better thrusters, so can out maneuver Dropship.
1x Gunship is equal to 3x Dropships.

If you want it here&#39;s a Gun/Dropship file that&#39;s to scale just need a bit of TLC.

is the ramp going to be down all the time?

[zippyo]

just so much F@<hidden>#&&#036;ing work &#33;&#33;&#33; In-Game makes it look even nicer

zip
http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/attachments/Screenshot95.jpg

ah yeah the ramp, well haven&#39;t got the time lately for the computer and I don&#39;t have resistance either (YET) but 1.46 does not support those luxiourios things. Later version will have moving L/G and ramp, probably folding rocket and missile pods as well.

[Soul_Assassin]

Must warn you that when you are "in-flight" (you are the pilot of the vehicle and the engine is running) you can not activate animations so you will not be able to open missle pods unless you are on the ground.

Btw, great job and I know that those things would make ur model be even nicer but its just not possible yet http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

I recall a vehicle, released a couple of weeks ago, just when movable parts on vehicles were discovered. That could actually move it&#39;s parts while driving around in it. Sorry, can&#39;t remember the name of it.

Why not have the rockets as the flaps up/ flaps down animation?


That way aswell, when the ship is low, and coming into land, it will get out the rockets.

(like in the film)

[Soul_Assassin]

Do you really wnat to have to press "Flaps Down" everytime you want the rockets to open, besides helicopter class cant even have flaps.

[zippyo]

hey Soul wussup....of course I remember, You are one of the only...and of course Planck ....for a long time we were the only ones on the forum there. how&#39;s things?...BTW keep the brainstorm comin&#39;....that&#39;s the only way WE can make things like this happen.
