About this Mod
Basically, I'm modeling brand new weapons for the Rebels. Since I don't know much about Star Wars, I'm making real life counter parts similar to Counter Strike.
Here's a basic list:
- The Soldier gets an AK47
- The Vanguard gets an RPG
- The Pilot gets a shotgun (haven't decided much on this yet)
- The Sniper gets a Sniper (same as Shotgun, dunno yet)
- The Wookie gets a more realistic looking Crossbow
- Every class gets a unique pistol
Extra Info:
- Not extremely detailed so your aging computer won't crash
- Complete with sounds and textures
- Playable Online w/ Others Without this Mod
I don't intend this to be a complete conversion mod. It's just a simple replacement of weapons to make it a bit more interesting. Of course if someone wants to, I will release the assets once I'm done.

EDIT: This is was taken online with Hardcore. He didn't have the AK47 installed so that means it works perfectly online. I just need to rescale and realign it a tad bit.

Found out why AK47 texture wasn't showing (really stupid reason why)
It's still huge but it looks pretty. (http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc113/tommmybeny2/woot.jpg)

Completed AK47, Finished Texture
Wayyyy too big, Texture not showing (http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc113/tommmybeny2/Untitled.jpg)
Looks to be pretty awesome, i'd like to see if you released the assets that someone made a full conversion of the weapons and put them to what they would really shoot and so forth :) but none the less, ill give this a try once its done.
AWEEEEEESOME!
Looks nice. Mind me asking what type of shotgun it'll be? I'm looking for a shotgun model and haven't been able to find a suitable one :/
this looks awesome! :tu: will you be releasing the assets when you are done?
@ JK
Feel free to give me suggestions.
@ MHG
Of course! I'm not planning to release it anytime soon due to ANNOYING technical issues but when it's done, I'll upload the MSH files.
I'm still having problems so I am considering modelling all of them first and then install the old version of XSI to properly export.
you could export them usng belnder and the msh viewer, but i dont know if thats what youre doing already
I'm using XSI/Softimage since it's the only one I've used (done plenty of random props for Garry's Mod)
This is my first time working with weapons. I'm too lazy to learn/to make animations and there's way too many people making weapons for Source Games. I'd rather do them for SWBF.
Wicked! This is just an idea, but maybe later on someone could try and make a mod to replace the Rebel Speeder Tanks (Or any) with modern Tanks. :moo:

Note: They are in 1680x1050 so it's better off without the image tags.
After 8 straight hours of technical issues (SWBF Modelling sucks) I've finally gotten a proper AK47 up and ready for SWBF. I still have minor issues regarding hand placement but it looks pretty good so far! I don't know much about the "bullets" in SWBF so I'm going to experiment with that so it looks more realistic.
Next up is the Dragunov Sniper Rifle (CoD4 players will find that familiar)
hahahahaha! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: thats so cool! cant wait until your done
Looks great!
Lol I thought Hc was from the south, with that gun positioning he's gonna give himself a black eye :P
Wicked! Can't wait till you finish! :tu:
Great Job! :tu:
What do the bullets look like?
At the moment, they are still lasers but I'll change em after I'm done with all of the weapons.
Out of curiosity, what's the tri count for the AK-47?
The Thompson and Sten SMG's I made a while ago are in the 1.5-2.5K region... (probably far too high...)
The Ak47 is very basic so it's in the hundreds. I'm going to remake it from scratch with an even higher tri count. Maybe about 5000 tri at the end. Yes, I'm pushing the Zero Engine but I really don't care at this point. If it doesn't work, I'll make it 2-3K since one of my models worked just fine with that.
According to the art guide:
Props - 0 - 500 polys <- Closet Thing to Weapons
Buildings - 200 - 3000 polys
Vehicles - 1500 - 2000 polys
Characters - 1500 - 2000 polys
My RPG-7 (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1894/rpgwip.png), which is pretty much done but having animation issues, is going up to 3K+. The framerate is still stable ingame so your model should be just fine.
SWBF was made when 512 memory was AMAZING. Today that isn't much, so going over the art guidelines shouldn't kill your game. After all, there's nothing wrong with experimentation, eh?
HAHA omg thats awesome.
DRAGONOV! These weapons are like the weapons real Rebels in the world use (like in Middle East, Africa, etc. )
That's EXACTLY what I'm doing Khyler. I'm recreating "rebel" weapons.
Also here's an update: there's gonna be two versions of the mod.
- One works online without others having the mod installed (like custom skins)
- The other is a full realism mod in the GCW era.
If anyone here knows how to munge custom sounds, I'm gonna need a tutorial. That would be greatly appreciated.
Anyways, the dragunov is gonna take a long while. It's a lot more complicated of a weapon especially when it comes to making the scope.

LOL! :rofl: Now we can i can play counterstrike on swbf! that would be so cool! :tu: :tu:
Haha I can't recreate Counter Strike on SWBF. There's too many limitations to be able to fully recreate it and still have its core gameplay.
you should make the realism mod another era, hey maybe you can even have new skins for the troopers

THAT WOULD BE SO COOOL! :tu: It sure would take a while though. :confused:
I'm probably gonna use the assets from Taivyx regarding player models and maybe the sniper rifle (I hate making the scope).
Of course I'll need his permission to do that.
Hey also another idea... Make it more tactical, and things like 1 hit kills and etc.
Just a suggestion.
Are you going to make actual bullets or are you just going to use yellow lasers and pass them off as being tracer rounds (or just not making a visible projectile at all)?
I'm gonna make actual bullets.
Also for Khlyer, it's going to be realistic. Don't worry about that.
HC is ACW???? WAT?!?!? :o
lol. looks sweet though. cant wait to see the finished product.
Just wanna let everyone know I'm still working on this mod and it's making progress. Screenshots will be posted later on.
The RWM is now in a closed beta stage!
If you'd like to try this mod before I release it, feel free to sign up to the closed beta. I feel that I need others to test the mod to ensure online capability and for suggestions on improving it. Of course, you will be credited for your work.
Here are the qualifications:
1. You MUST be aware that it is in beta stage. That means that it is not finished in any way or form.
2. You MUST be a real beta tester. That means you are willing to contribute and improve on the mod. This can be as small as reporting bugs found to something as big as suggesting changes you would make to the ODF files. The more you contribute, the more you are improving to the final stage of the RWM.
3. You will NOT distribute it to others. This is a CLOSED BETA. I wish I do not need to explain this.
That's it! Feel free to sign up by simply posting in this topic. I will choose ten people and I may allow more.
Beta spots left: 7
7/13/09
What's done:
AK47 (Minor changes will be made but it's pretty much done overall)
RPG-7 (Rockets not on the actual model, don't really care)
Makarov (Pistol, needs a higher res skin)
Toz (Shotty, this is my best model so far)
Clean cut of the skins (This takes a lot of skill and time)
What's left:
Dragunov (I'm doing this last since I'm having a hard time on it)
Crossbow Replacement (Might leave this alone)
Grenade Launcher (Might make an AK47 w/ Grenade Launcher attachment)
Frag Grenade (May leave this alone)
Realistic Bullets (Don't know much about ordance odf files so this will take a while)
Tactical Weapon Values (This is a separate version of the mod and will be done AFTER everything above is finished.)
I test it if you would like.
i would like to.
count me in
I'll upload em tomorrow for you three. Thanks for helping me out.
Sure, I'll try it out!
Looks pretty impressive so far.
Well then that's 4 people! I have another project which I am doing a no-so-good job on and it's a day late so as I said before, I'll get them uploaded tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience.
Me too! (Btw, update how many spots left, its wrong if JK is in)
Ok, then it's 5 people! Makes me feel special about this mod.
So what's the progress on this mod? I like the sound of it, once it's released I'll give it a go 8)
Nothing much but it is on its way. I don't have reference images for all of my models so it's twice the difficulty.
Estimated Public Beta Release is probably mid August. I've stopped using the computer 13 hours straight everyday (that's how I progressed so fast, I barely took a break) and I've been doing other things, most notably using Photoshop now (GIMP isn't that fun)
Oh BTW I've been having localization problems on the closed beta. That's the cause of the delay, sorry.
In for the beta :)
I'll provide a ton o' screenies ;)
Ill do beta.
