September 1939 Mod

[topas]

Didn't check the topic lately, sorry. Fair enough, conceptual stage qualifies for saying it's in the work too. No stress, it looks like I myself will be rather inactive in June too.

Hey Team SEPTEMBER 1939 MOD, without a doubt your efforts will leave many of us sleepless for many nights to come once this mod is released.. so a pre-emptive “thank you” now, as I may not feel the same way once we start playing

[topas]

Huragan, thanks for placing the hope in the team.

Content-wise there's nothing really new to show. Work is being done by our teammembers or external contributors on some new Polish and German vehicles and weapons (but I did not check with the authors lately, so don't really know how far they are).

My time is rather limited this month and try to use it for polishing the mod. Literally.
Each model (finally!) gets a supershader (naturally, if there was a _smdi/_as/_nohq missing before I'm doing it as well _ I admit, sometimes a placeholder just to produce the rvmats and test various fresnel values).
A tedious task and I'm not even done with the 1/5th of our inventory yet, but am steadily going in the right direction (I hope).

etc. etc.

Once I'm done and happy with the results each model will have to be modified and 'divided'. So far they only have one shader per each, but obviously buttstocks, foregrips will need to have a _dt of wood, wheels - rubber etc. etc. I can't even start to imagine how much time this will take :P

I can't help myself to say that would be really great if these cute babies could use IF44's armor damaging system.

Great weapons there Topas!
I'm wondering if you have already have some custom hand anims? I read a bit back in this thread that Smookie was doing them for you, but since he's a BIS dev now I thought maybe there is a lack of an animator now.

Are you offering your services?

Are you offering your services?

Abs

Since Abs, who asked the question here, recently agreed to do these (Smookie was there for just a brief period of time; could not consider him a real member or contributor as he did not really deliver anything beside WIP screens - besides, he was was meant to do vehicle driver/passenger anims*) I'll just let you guys come to an agreement on this one. Abs has all the files needed ( latest .p3d weapon models and some pictorial reference). If you, Lennard, feel like relieving Abs here, please feel free to. Dunno if he'll be happy to return to his 7TP/Vickers/C7P assignement... I don't want and like our staff to work on something they feel they worked enough lately on and being pushed. If Abs decides the hand anims would be a good change from the armor - he'll do it. If he feels the ST stuff should provide enough "change of scenery" factor there though.. It's only up to him to decide.

Anyway; so I do not seem like someone not delivering anything on his behalf, but just ordering people around... Initial WIP shots of the mighty Panzerfaust for IronFront-Liberation'44;




Managed to do the markings just yet..If time allows I'll go forward with weathering, scracthes and materials soon.


* no harsh feelings here - the fault was ours ... at the time he did take these on we were still scaling models to the historical reference (extremely hard to get, so it took as a longer while....), he did get fed up with us not being able to decide eventually...

Good work Topas. Can you "Ciezki karabin maszynovy Schwarzlose wz.07/12" for use mod? I have him in my mod asi TK vz.7/24.?

Nice!

I recently got ArmA 2, and started looking at some of my old models (the ones I also sent you). Don't have the texturing figured out yet but I've started making some models a bit more hires (Hs.123 for example).. Some should be pretty much ok in terms of model, just need to be able to use the new ArmA 2 features and new textures.. Will see what I can come up with
