SWBFGamers

With boredom comes many things. This is one of them. James Bond and a random 21st century soldier

LOL! Nice job Nik!  :tu: looks cool.

Thanks. Now I need to decide if I want to make a COD type map (russians/terrorists Vs US/UK army) or a super smash brothers type map (random video game characters)

hmmm...both.  :tu:

Do cod! and do  like all the cod 4 maps with all the classes  also when will this be done

Not sure when I'll get it done cause not only do I have to make skins, but it's a little hard finding models. If anyone knows of weapon models (ak47s m4's and the like) let me know.

There's a ton more stuff I know is out there but couldnt find (Didnt go thru it all)

P.S. I could do any skins for you, but I can't model.

If you want to retexture some guys so they look like terrorists or russians that would be cool

For the terrosit make the last class have ablitly to sucide boomber. So like make the time bomb on wookies attach to ur body

LOL!!!! Matter of fact, I have been testing with a weapon that simply explodes when you trigger it. I will see if I can make a suicide bomb. Send me any models you need and I will try to skin them.

I cant wait to be the terrosit listen to my words of wisom. FOR ALAH!

sniper rifle in game, just needs a texture. THANKS AG FOR THE HELP!!! :cheer:

This looks interesting! Nice job on the skins and models, looks really cool

Hey man no problem on the help with the weapon. :cheers:
The model's pretty decent, it just needs a proper texture, lol.

I know I know... It's just a place holder so that I could test the model. I should have it finished soon, and then after that the AK-47 and RPG 7.

K skin is done. I also will be releasing these models/skins when I'm done.

Omg, your great at modding when this comes out it will be sooo freaking awesome!

Is the model RPG 7 the one with the green thing in front?

QuoteIs the model RPG 7 the one with the green thing in front?

yes. VERY NICE MODEL!!! :tu:

when is ur maps going to be done?

Here's some pics of the terrorist I made for Nik.

seems like the skeleton is messed up

i took out the custom bone stuff to make it taller. The only problem is the hands float off the arms.

I'm pretty sure terrorists don't look like that...

This is a terrorist:

Gilly suit sniper.  made by retexturing the wookie and removing it's custom bone settings. Really hard to see while in the jungle. Also a phunie picture of 007 killing Jaba the Hutt with my custom combat knife.

Bored=Great ideas/ Awesome maps Good job so far

Thanks, although I would like to point out that these are just stock SWBF maps so far. But I do plan on making 4 maps (desert, jungle, snow, urban) and as am new to map making, any help with the map side of things (lots of reference pics from COD4, MW2 maps, helping with actually making the maps) would really help get this thing out faster.

I could make the maps for you if you want, I've been mapping for a while. Or we could make it a project of the ApeX Modding team.

Either one works. I can make map models (IE cars, buildings, and stuff) map props don't need any nodes so they would be really easy to pump out.

Wow, I could easily put them in a map, just maybe give me some pics of how you want it to look and send me the assets.

Can you please stop spamming? Making short replies like this that offer no detail or anything other than a demand for content is rather annoying to everyone.

Here's a shot of how I want the Urban map to feel http://www.zath.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-online-screenshot-3.jpg  lots of small streets and alleys and some buildings you can go into and up on the upper stories.  I know that's a lot of work but it something that no one really does, only example I can think of that is close is eddie's italia.  The snow map can be kinda like hoth minus the star wars vehicles.  Desert I want to look like this http://www.dimes.org/tutorials/images/desert.jpg with an oasis and a little village (the buildings from mos eisly would work perfect ).  And the jungle map just needs to look like a jungle :XD: 

 :'(Allright, but you will have to make alot of assets, mostly for the urban map. I will need stuff like, lightpoles, houses, destroyed houses, maybe like stairs to go up to another street level, (I can raise the height of the map) If you want places that are dirt and then streets you will also have to make streets.
Other stuff that will be needed:
Destroyed cars
Undestroyed cars
dead bodies of both sides (If you want)
Accessories for buildings (Water towers, antennae, other)
Bridges
I think I can come up with other stuff from custom/shipped assets. It will still need alot of stuff though.
For desert i need rock outcroppings, i can get a lot of rocks from shipped assets. Maybe also some shrubs, fences, buildings ( if you dont only want tatooine stuff)

What is the Best Cod map? that is the question maybe do a poll and see what map gets the highest votes so you know what map to make

you can use your discretion for the desert map, you should be able to find all the stuff you need from the tatooine map assets.  As for the urban map's assets, the buildings and cars are easy and the other stuff shouldn't be to hard. And if anybody knows what is involved with making tanks and spaceships I may try my hand at making a tank or jet.

What do you need to make tanks?
Blueprints of tanks! :P

http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/tanks/

a long time ago i tried making a german tank, but i could never get it to show up ingame right. :'( I even made a av8b harrier, but that wouldt even show up ingame. :'( (and yes, the tank texture sucks)

Jango, have you been able to use that demo version to make a model that works in game?

Wouldnt jsut be easier to copy a map complety from cod then make your own???

Chaos how many times do I have to tell you, this is both illegal and impossible since the original assets are not released to the public. You can make a map based off of call of duty, but otherwise, don't mention it on the forum.

And no, it's not easier to do because it involves you porting each individual item and then placing them in the map.

Ok I know I got distracted but this is so totally awesome I have to show it (plus it kinda helped me work some kinks out of the modeling process)

NERF GUNS IN SWBF!!!!!!

The maverick and longstrike! I now know what my next project will be.

rofl! Wow that looks awesome! Nice job.

LOL! thats awesome! 8) you should release that mod or use it for a map.

Can you make a map where u have cod classes but in bespin cloud city

That would be a mod.... I suggest you post a request on the request board.

Chaos... how many times have we told you that you CANNOT create call of duty classes in Star Wars Battlefront. It's technically impossible and illegal. You can create your own mod inspired by Call of Duty, but that's it.

Please DO NOT make anymore requests of this matter, on or off the request forum.

Youre so obsessed with call of duty; just buy it.

i have no $$$ so i cant get :(

You could get a job, or allowance or whatever and earn some money

Mow some lawns for money. Or go to trade school :XD:

Anymore U.S. units done yet, Nik?

Kinda have writers block when it comes to the pilot and special class

fighter pilot for pilot, navy seal/green beret for special

Green Beret! lol

Heli for the game

Woa cool :tu:

Have you thought of replacing the lasers for all of the weapons with bullets?

At the moment if a gun has been changed to a real life gun, it shoots bullets

AH-6 in game. The texture is just a placeholder until I get all the kinks ironed out

Lol omg that is so cool! Now do a jet plane like the F-16 or something.  :tu:

*psst use the gallery*

Looks very nice! Good work.

That is awesome :tu: Keep up the good work!

Worked out the kinks,  http://www.xfire.com/video/2936ae/ (http://www.xfire.com/video/2936ae/)   now for a texture then it will be done

No latest flash player=No xfire videos :rant:

I love the way you've got around the inability to have a propellor animation ! That looks really convincing... :o
unless you actually have a propellor animation...  :blink: I can't really tell...
Anyway, it looks awesome !!!

try speeding up the Fan animation from jabbas palace, i believe it is in Shipped Common Animations

I was messing around with the ODFs and found out a way to have helicopter like movement (you bank in the direction of travel) so this time around it looks more convincing. Also AG pointed out some flaws in the model that I fixed such as the not right proportions and some other details. Textures done, perfected the rotor texture and transparency and now have a more convincing minigun impact effect.

Read all the posts, then think over them,then read them again and THEN post.

Chaos, you really need to stop spamming and read the topic before posting.

Finished Chopper with New army helicopter pilot

 :o That is amazing looks awesome :tu:

A WIP Humvee. anyone know how to get suspension animations working? Or make it so you can't turn while sitting in one place?

Here's a vid. It's really cheesy but it's soo much fun to play with
http://www.xfire.com/video/29efcd/ (http://www.xfire.com/video/29efcd/)

hahaha way cool nikoli, cant wait to play it. When i get home ill go searching through some odf files  for the stuff u need

Looks good!! Only thing is the skin needs to be worked on a tiny bit (looks a little flat).

Haha looks cool

so wait, we can drive those?!?! freakin awesome :P

if there is one thing i miss about swbf is the fact you can drive stuff. Infinity ward left that feature out

 :o looks like Ive been away too long! This is EXACTLY the type of mod I've been waiting for. Great work, Nikoli!

I know you're planning on making maps themed specifically for these classes, but will they be usable as a "universal" side replacement as well?

You could take the sides out of the map folders and just put them into your swbf side folder

I know, lol, I do that all the time. What I mean is, will I be able to do that and have it work CORRECTLY? Apart from napseeker's work and maybe a couple others, sides made for one specific map ALWAYS have missing sounds and/or vehicles when used on other maps.

I believe you mean Pandemic? lol

Maybe you could put light shades of camo colors for different terrains (Like light and dark browns for desert, greens and browns for jungle etc.) Which map will this be used in? And I also though of a way where you wanted to make it so the passenger could shoot? Well add a null for a turret on the passenger side and then give it the ord and some of the odf of the machine guns. That would look generally good except they would not be holding their gun and  you could only use the certain gun thatyou want it to act like (So missile launchers and stuff wouldnt work) I can't wait to try this out in one of the maps!

This is basically going to be a total conversion so it should work on all the maps since that's the way I'm testing the sides. It just wont be localized properly

Cool, cool.  :tu: In that case, what sounds were you planning to use for the weapons? There arent many blaster sounds in the game that could pass as gunshots (at least without a lot of imagination.  :P )

So, it looks like you've moved away from the origional "random characters" concept and focused on a modern warfare-type mod instead. Do you think you could put up a simple list of what units and vehicles you plan on replacing? That way, it could be easier for us to give suggestions and opinions on what you have already, and ideas on what blank spots there are to fill.

every unit for the Republic and CIS is going to be replaced by something from real life. As for vehicles I'm only gona replace a couple since they are such a PIA to get working right.

There are actually maps that will be modern warfare-type. So far desert is done if i can get it to work right, if not we can use older versions. We will soon have the jungle map and maybe snow map. Then nik will hopefully have the stuff done for the urban map and we will have that also.

k I'm pretty sure I'm done with the model on this one, and the texture is coming along nicely

Wow that is cool :tu: Have you gotten it to behave less like a hover tank and more like a jeep yet?

yep, and I figured out how to get it so that you can't spin in place now if I could figure out how to get a turret working that would be awesome
anybody know what model this is and where to find it

Swbf2 mod tools, swbf2 rebel vanguard. I can easily get it for you.  :)

^yes that would be awesome, I want to use the model for the heavy support class

M-249 done!

Cool great model for support gun :clap:

^thanks. Also if anyone can link me or send me the SWBF2 rebel vangard desert texture that would be awesome.

I'll send it saturday when I get off the plane from Miami.

cool, I'll most likely be out of town this weekend so if you upload it to a 3rd party site and send me the link that would be great. :tu:
:EDIT: It looks like I'll be staying home so if I'm on X-Fire you can send it to me through that.

or just pm link :P

Is this real?! it allmost looks like you put in a CoD 4 guy in a pic of SWBF O_o

It looks exactly like the m249 saw from a halo mod.  Except i think the ammo box is on the other side.

^^ lol, yes it is real.  ^actually due to some problems I ran into the amo box is directly underneath and the chain comes out of both sides  :XD:

what maps are you playing to do with these new characters or is this a mod?

Most of the pictures are of tests of the sides on stock maps. But the one of the guy with the SAW in the bunker is on a map that Gogo12 made, and I have to say it is one of the coolest maps I've ever played on. If you want to see more check back frequently, I'll have some sneak peaks of it soon.  :shady:

That emoiticon is just creepy.
This is a side mod right?  No new maps or anything?

 :slap: I just said that Gogo12 made a map for it. I planned on having about 4 maps made but it looks like there will just be one for while. And if you want you will be able to take the sides out of the map folder and replace your stock sides.

:EDIT: (new idea) When I'm done with the projects I'm working on at the moment I might make a side mod for SWBF2. It would be cool to have the regular soldier's gun would go from M16 to M4 sopmod, heavy troopers gun would go from M60 to M249, snipers would go from M24 to Berreta 50 cal. And I'm not sure what the first pistol would be but it would change to the Desert Eagle.

And I really need the rebel vanguard model from SWBF2, if anybody has a link to it or even just the texture that would save me alot of time.

I dont mean to be pessimistic, but my personal opinion is that modders should stay away from making BF2 "universal" side mods. This isnt just because I'm biased to prefer BF1- one thing I've noticed about the BF2 mod community is that they are VERY picky, and as far as custom maps go, where once custom sides were a nice bonus, it seems nowadays they're a necessity for most people to even consider downloading  a map. Whats wrong with that? Nothing, but what it DOES mean is that your side mod for BF2 will almost certainly be incompatable with most maps, and thus players would be forced to use the stock maps again and again- which, of course, would get boring after a while. My opinion? stick with BF1 if you want to focus on side mods.


Lol, sorry, I tend to ramble. Did that make sense?  :shrug:

I will try to upload the msh and tga files today, hopefully you can make your own odf right? If not I can show you how... I have been obsessed wwith kotor2 but ive gotten annoyed to death with Nar Shadaa so i will get the files lol. and now that im back i will make the snow map.

I'm pretty sure I can take care of the ODF *nods toward picture a couple posts above with custom model in game* Also I really want the desert map finished before you release it, if you want to just can it and start on the snow map I guess that's fine.

Lol the desert map is screwed, idk what I did bt I cant fix it, we will have to use the version with the gaping hole in the canyon, but it isnt a big deal.

You planning on having an anti-tank weapon?  Armored vehicles will rule battlefield.  javelin maybe?
http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/ORD_ATGM_Javelin_Launch_Immediate_lg.jpg (http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/ORD_ATGM_Javelin_Launch_Immediate_lg.jpg)

I'm not going to make one for the USA because they will have the advantage of actually having vehicles, their heavy trooper will carry a SAW, pistol, and knife. The insugents on the other hand :shifty:  No peaks until I'm happy with the way it looks.. 

Anyway the way I see it is if I can get enough hint nodes on the maps and make the weapons deadly enough, it will make it more of a tactical game instead of an ego shooter.  Now if only I could use my plethera of weapon noises instead of the ones that come with SWBF it would feel like a totaly different game

I think i know what it is :shifty:
[spoiler]RPG?  Can Wait!![/spoiler]

oh cant wait for RPG!!!

I put in a spoiler for a reason... :dry:

Hey, Nikoli, I was in the GameToast assets forum and I found these 2-handed pistol animations with realistic recoil and reloading. http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=20261 (http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=20261)

Think you could make some use of it somehow?

It's most likely usable with those animations, however the pistol might be out of proportion. It's not that big of a deal.

The two-handed model is only for swbf2.

hold hold!! Napseeker has jango fett with dubble handed guns  :D (awesome)

Thats not the same, I don't think you can remove the second gun

I was looking at that animation a while ago, didn't think anyone would mind the current on so I didn't bother. But it seems like some people would like it so I'll try and get it working in some of my free time.  I'm not sure I want any akimbo unless I get an uzi model made in which case it would be awesome

Update! I have finished a UAV for the sniper and I am working on finishing the texture for the heavy support trooper. Good news is that the US side is almost finished! Videos and screenshots to come soon.

Here's a vid of the new map Gogo12 made with the almost finished US troops. Please keep in mind that this is still a WIP and the criticism should be geared as such.

http://www.xfire.com/video/2c4bc5/ (http://www.xfire.com/video/2c4bc5/)

also pay attention to the droid missile launcher. :g: something seems to be different about it.

Looks very nice. The feel is felt by me. Will you all plan on effects similar to the following?

OMG OMG OMG! THIS IS AMAZING!...but there are some few things you can add...in the vietnam war they had trences so the vietnammers could go from those *camuflaged* trences and attack the enamy (US). Thats point. Trences

Second point is when you start on the vietnam side...make sure you have suddice killers with them.

3th one...maybe a road....(they had roads yes, not that much tho


FOR THE REST I LOVED IT SO MUCH!
Good luck with it

^^I really want to put one in but I can't figure out how to get the flamethrower working right.

^I plan on having one of those guys he will be the special class and the US will get a commando as there special class (not a republic commando)

Also thanks guys for such an awesome response to this project, it really is great.

Main play mod has a flamethrower, you might wanna ask ggtuck for some advice.

Breakdown knows flamthrower also.

The guys who he made the map with knows it also so whats the point of having 2 posts made of something they allready know

Yay I got the ODF from ggtuck's assets and it will now be in the vietnam map! (with a few tweaks of course)

I didn't know there was one in his assets pack. Cool to see it will be in. More fire is always cool.

I wouldn't recommend suicide bombers being put in a SWBF map...

Is there a reason you recomend against it?

idk, seems a little dark...

I'll think about it.  I actually thought it would be pretty funny.

well, there is no blood in swbf and it is hard to have things seems entirely realistic, at least to a point where a person would have nightmares.

cant believe i even called that dark, coming from a person that enjoys Killing Floor.

You haven't played breakdowns nabzomb1 ------ Naboo: Airfield (Zombie) mod map he made last holloween. I will play that and this map when finish with anyone, anytime at a moments notice to me.

I played that map on haloween night-it was awesome.  Also it gets a little scary; you have no real bearing on the scenario and you are outnumbered 100 to one.  Zombies were very well done :tu:

lol right jon. swbf doesnt have the graphics quality to have any extras other than lasers and cries of defeat to make the game seem dark at all.

I think swbf blood is yellow.  look closely next time you get a head shot.

lol! yellow...

what was the name of the "halloween" mod that you guys were talking about. i may actually install swbf to play it.

Yah know, I like the comments about other people's mods and all, but can we please keep this thread on track? I visit the thread to see if there are any ideas that people have for the mod I'm working on. If you want to talk about the zombie map can it be started in a different thread?  Thanks guys.

Understood. Can't wait for the chance to play your map in multiplayer with others.

I'm not sure if this will be a snow camo for the US or have it as the Russian support trooper

Looks russian.

ye russian

this mod/map needs sucide bombers without the sucide bombers the map/mod wouldnt be the same

U.S. Snow troops have more white to their camo, little less gray. http://img469.imageshack.us/i/24eb.jpg/ (http://img469.imageshack.us/i/24eb.jpg/)

Im assuming thats not an in game shot...

This is what snow trooper looks like! http://strikehold.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/visual_stealth_-_us_marines_wearing_snow_marpat_camouflage.jpg (http://strikehold.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/visual_stealth_-_us_marines_wearing_snow_marpat_camouflage.jpg) (U.S) just like in socom!

you know what! that will actually work perfectly since the model that I have pretty much is the same as those dudes. I will just make the US have the white-ish camo and the Russians have the blue camo. The only thing is that I am running out of models for the Russians. I may end up having them have the same models as the US just with different guns and camo.

I'll look to find some pictures of Russians.

Thanks! Now if only I could find some models that would work for them.. I think I may end up retexturing the rebel snowtrooper. that would take care of at least one guy.

No problem  ;). If you need any images let me know  ;).

Im assuming thats not an in game shot...

You're very smart....

 :D

Update? :superman: Do I hear update?

Here's a shot of the AH-1 Cobra that I hope to get put in before too terribly long.

looks nice :tu:
Do you plan on adding rotors?

yeah it's got the same rotors as the other helicopter. They are just invisible in this picture.

Preliminary texture. No transparencies yet.

Nicee.

Wow, so this is what you have been working on, all this time.  :o

yep, I like to keep the lid on things until they are worth showing.

That chopper is awesome :tu:

I should have a video up soon showing off the rockin new AH-1 Cobra.

It's great to hear this mod is still in development. It's looking better every update! :D

Thanks guys for all the positive feed back! @AG it's you guys who keep me working on it!

I am looking forward to it.  :tu:

As promised. Please keep in mind that the texture isn't done yet and that there is no bumpmapping done to it yet.

Looking good :tu:

Haha good ol' nick! I might just play battlefront again when these come out! maybe we can have an air battle sometime. nice work  :tu:

This mod will definitely get me back into swbf for a while :D

I have never left but instead have been exploring old maps. This map and troops am sure will be fun with friends.

I'm glad to see some people are still working on projects around here  :cheers:

I'm looking forward to the mod :moo:

A 6 shooter I'm working on. not sure if I should give it to the Russians or have it as a special forces handgun. And yes it is a 3d model that works in SWBF

Very nice. It is a lot better looking than the revolver I have.

looks more russian imo.

There has to be a way to cary off a friend from the battlefield to safe place to get health. I am working on it now. (https://www.swbfgamers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.xfire.com%2F333ce5-4.jpg&hash=7181183a7006b8692705eedc04467481d353b98b) (http://www.xfire.com/video/333c12/)

give it to the russians, because special forces always have the newest of the newest. I'd do an Desert Eagle for special forces or an normal gun.

Ok I'm a little confused at what to do. Should this try and be a realism mod? With bullets giving one or two hit kills? Or should I keep SWBF's ego shooter gameplay? (if I go for realism the m249 and pkm are both gona be beasts)

I vote for what ever you choose. The game play mode you like most is what I choose.

I say you should go for a more "realistic" approach. I think it would fit the intensity of the theme a lot better. You've got modern vehicles, modern weapons, and modern factions, it would be appropriate for the consequences of being shot to be realistic too. If you're trying to establish a theme for the mod, you might as well go as far as you can.
Besides, it gets kind of frustrating when you need to waste huge chunks of ammo taking down one opponent, which is actually one of my few criticisms of the unmodded game to begin with.

@ musket I think that is very sound advice. I think I will go with that.

UPDATE!!!
This Week Guns Guns and more Guns!
M4a1 and RPG-7 and also a glimpse at the new humvee with .50 cal model

oh...my...gosh..  :o

two words: A-MAZING!! I can't wait to play with these!

Those are pretty sweet! Nice job :D

Amazing! I love the Humvee. And that M4A1(My favorite gun in the world)looks awesome! :D  :D And I love the RPG. Will it have realistic damage? (I'm guessing yes)

I love them, two questions. Instead of what have you done the car and does it make the sound of a real car?

Still very nice

Those are amazing! Cant wait to see them in game :tu:

Not really sure what the first question is  :blink: As for the second I would like to make it have the real sound for everything but I'm really not sure that there is a successful way of putting custom sounds into the game. If there is a way I'd do it in a heartbeat but if not I'll just try and chose the closest sound that's already in the game


And thanks guys for the positive feedback it's really awsome to hear when people like my work. But I will say that even negative feedback is welcome as it helps me improve my style.

For you to improve your style. I recomend so many tunnels under ground that you get lost. Like a maze within a maze within a maze not knowing how to get out of it.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to add custom sounds to this kind of mod. I'm fairly sure if these sides were made for a specific map, you'd be able to include new sounds in the files of the map itself. However, seeing as one of the main selling points of this mod is it's compatibility with ALL maps without custom sides, It's my personal opinion you should stick with the blaster sounds and let the player's imagination explain/ignore them. :P

Not really sure what the first question is  :blink:

@ Nikoli   the first question was instead of what thing have you replaced the car (instead of the x-wing or something like that)
@Mike   And they say my line's are spelled wrong (maze in a maze in a maze without being a maze but accualy it Is a maze however if it would be a maze it wouldn't look like this not-mazy map but it should be a mazy map because that was the first opinion)

The Humvee replaces the Republic hover tank. And now that I've found out how to make turrets (thanks to the help of epifire) I can finally make tanks so that the russians and US can now have main battle tanks!

Creating sound for the game is very simple. I can munge a side file and have skins and changes for the troops. When some one sets up a simple munge folders for sound then sound for the mod can be made very easy.

Some testing of a WIP model that I made for the mod.

That is good. Is he just jumping with a slight jet push up?

I was just testing a couple of the animations with the model. So yes.

I love the detail on the feet, Skywalker's model didn't even have detailed feet last time I remembered.

Overall this looks very exciting, I am patiently awaiting for the public release. While this mod is amazing in terms of visual content, please make the new game mechanics as polished as you can. I'd rather have a polished game that looks terrible than a beautiful one that's broken. For example, nobody wants a chopper to annihilate everyone in its path to render the whole game useless.

Take the time to make this mod, the mod. It's best not rushed, but please tease us with updates whenever you can. :D


Also random sidenote, it would be pretty sweet if you made another version of the mod where it's only visually different so that it's online compatible. Just for the enjoyment. :D

:o you didn't like my chopper Mk1??? lol I'm planning on making the chopper really powerfull offensive wise but have really weak armor (the RPG-7 is going to have a field day :shady:) to make up for the russians not having any choppers

I didn't say I didn't like that chopper. Just trying to make an example.

Keep up the good work Nikol!! I really like this mod idea :D

I agree that would be really nice ;).

First off I'd like to let you guys know that I haven't given up on this mod. I just am really really busy so if I have time to mod it's usually (if I'm lucky) maybe 5 min a day so I haven't been able to continue at my previous rate.  :td:

Secondly I recently got to watch Avatar for the first time. And I have to say, I was really impressed by the technology that the humans used and I really liked the way their guns looked. So all this to say. How interested would you guys be for a mod that makes the game similar to battlefield 2142 after this mod is released?
It wouldn't require a lot of changes and I'd be able to use quite a few of the included star wars sounds without making it seem funky.
The other option would be to make a not quite 2142 but not 2010 era. Say something more like 2030. So there would be some real life guns that are being used today and also allow me to add lazer guns and also my favorite VTOLs (like in Avatar and Halo)

So what do you guys say?

I am still here with swbf1. Only time will tell for how long. I like changes and will be here for anyone else that also likes what I like. There are few of us left.

I like the 2142 idea.  I trust your skills in making amazing stuff.  If you need any reference pics I can do some research for you (so you don't have to take a ton of time looking).

Thanks Link for the offer, but as for reference pics I'm good. If you really want to help out, I could really use help in making character textures. Those buggers are a PIA to have to do all by my self. Plus I kinda get writer(er texturer's) block when trying to come up with original ideas for the sides and how they should look.
I already have a pretty good idea for how I want one side to look but the other side I'm not sure if it should be a super power type force (SPvsSP) or an insurgent type force (SPvsIN)

Ok, I've been thinking this one over alot. I've decided that the current mod that I'm working on is going to be changed to a future mod. It will be set in 2040 and will have a mix of real life weapons and some futuristic guns. It will feature VTOLs, Tanks, and Motorcycles.

One of the deciding factors for me was that the modern day soldiers have way too many pouches on their vests or way too much gear. And the SWBF engine can't handle enough polys to make them look convincing. You end up running into the same issues as the rep commandos. Changing to a more modern future allows me to make the characters more 'clean' and still have them look good. It also allows me to branch out to more vehicles and also allows me to use laser weapons and jetpacks without them seeming out of place.

I know it's a bump of my own thread (don't ban me!!), but I really would like some feedback on the above comment regarding changing the of the time line. Also it seems like there is little interest in this mod as it is, if you disagree please let me know. As I have no interest in spending what little free time I have on something that no one cares about.

And again all help with said would be appreciated.

/bumped for sweet justice

I'm really looking forward to your mod. It should be great. Don't quit this one.

Sounds like a fab idea !
And of course we care !

BTW Nikoli, if you're interested in doing something in the not-too-distant future, I would highly suggest you to watch the old Ghost in the Shell movie. It's probably my favorite piece of anime and it's absolutely brilliant how they portrayed warfare in the year 2029. :)

@ Nikoli- I got your reply. My suggestion for sides is to go for something not obvious; the USA vs. Russia idea has been touched on often in games and fiction, and I wouldn't go for a USA vs. Middle East/Terrorist or China conflict either. Maybe look into various ongoing international disputes which could presumably develop into war.

Off the top of my head, I can kind of envision a US vs. Mexico mod, where A: Mexico collapses under the might of drug lords and attempt to extend their cartels into the US, or B: Mexico tries to reclaim their long-lost Texas territory.
Or maybe even a new American Civil War scenario. It could even be for the same basic reason as the original war; people are divided amongst themselves as to whether the States should carry more authority than the Federal Government, especially during recent events. Some states are trying to opt out of the federal requirement of citizens to purchase health care, and California's prop. 19 directly challenges Federal drug enforcement laws. Now, not that I'm predicting civil war will break out anytime soon, but it may be a realistic scenario for years in the future.

Just some thoughts.  :P

I just wanted to let you guys know to keep your heads up for some pictures of the some of the new soldier units.  :tu:

Oh lovely, can't wait to see what you've been up to !

Here are is a sneak peak at the new soldier models I'm working on and also a nice little render of the new Famas F2

Woah!!! Very nice job, the troopers look very cool, and the famas is beautiful.

Keep up the amazing work.

Ok, I know that it's been a while so I decided that I'd post a teaser pic of part of what I've been working on.  8)

That looks like the merc gunship from Avatar.

lol Yeah I was kinda going for that look mixed with that of a cobra helicopter

looks awesome , so are you not gonna go on with the other project of yours?

I'm going on with it. Just changing up the era a bit because of some game engine limitations. Don't worry, it will still have real life guns and some other stuff. It's just going to have some scifi-ish stuff thrown in there as well.

Can't wait  :cheer:
