WIP: stuff you are working on!

[Nephilim]

what if 2 years later some people say, hey we need a new F-15, cause the one we have doesnt look as cool as newer models..
will you make a new one or say no, as its already made?

[Panda[PL]]

If I could suggest something to the mods: wouldn't it be OK to create a new topic for this discussion and put the last few posts there?

As for the community:
Having the options I decided to make HK416 and 417 for my mod because in my infinite faith in community I belived it will produce an M4/M16 pack of even greater quality before I'm done.
All I see is CSS imported M16a4s (good but not taking advantage of real time rendering) and Wipman's M4 pack ("silver mettalic" Bis models strapped one onto another, not optimised).

It's either:
1) M4 has lost its popularity
2) there is no modeller among the M4 fans.

I'd agree but for one man: Sam "Jackal326" Baker.

The man who eats, sleeps and dreams M4's... and various other weapons.

Hi, well Panda... as i've said many times... im not an addon maker,
nor a modeler nor a texturer. Im just a player who've the photoshop;
"i did" my M4's pack the best that i could to fill the holes
that BIS left in the ArmA weaponry, for me.. you... and the rest of
the players if they want to use 'em.
I agree that we need or at least will be pimp to have more weapons,
units and vehicles; but we'll still need more stuff to fill all the holes
in the ArmA, like yeah... LAV-25's III, slat armoured strykers (for
those who uses army units) better M1A1's, strykers & LAV's with
bigger guns, static weapons systems and much more. Im fine with
my M4's that between the BIS weapons and my M4's + Aimpoint's
Desert Weapons... we already have (i think) all the yankee main
weapons that we'll need to rearm properly our units and addon
units to complete any mission. We just need more weapons systems
and overall... missions to play with the stuff that we do without
the need of join a klan to play with this addons, because it's very
sad to make something with all your good faith and then see it
take dust in 3 mod folders in your ArmA installation. Let's C ya

In addition, seeking someone's permission to use their art and developing your own art are two fantastically different things.

"fantastically different" ***lol .... your funny. Different says you.
As many people who actually know whats involved in making an propoer addon will tell you, its more than just "art".
There also 2 fantastically different ways to convert an OFP addon to ArmA, the easy way, and the right way.

I've already spent an estimated 320 hrs just on the Su33 .... and its only 3/4 way towards releasable.
A good addon in ArmA is fantastically different from 1 in OFP.

"Convert" is a lightweight word. As Footmunch said to me, he's not doing anymore conversions because its easier to start from scratch. I now see what he means.


@Messiah
Yes, your right, if I didn't like it, I wouldn't do it.

If it wasn't fantastically different, why didn't you just start from scratch?
