VietNam : Ambush TC

(greensmith) #141

wow, nice prefabs.

But you said you didnt have any when i asked in irc :frowning:

(Dave) #142

We didnā€™t when you had asked. Those were all made very recently.

i modified the m16 into an m4, but the grip needs changing.

(h0nd) #144

Wasnā€™t the M16a2 being used in Vietnam?
If the M4 will stay in the game, not only the grip has to be changed, the barrel and muzzle seem little unrealistic :slight_smile:
Great job anyways, and I think some of you know why Iā€™m being so detailed about this heh heh :stuck_out_tongue:

hmmmm, iā€™m not a weapon expert, just followed some reference pics. but if u have any better ones, and can point out my mistakes, that will be great!

Lovely. Looking real good.

Could suggest looking over ETPro tho for some fixes and handy additions to the current ET Source release.

Been working on the new reloads today, so I put together a quick video of the SVD Dragunov reload for your viewing pleasure. Youā€™ll also get a look at the new menu gfx and sound.

Hope you likeā€¦

Looking good.

Thereā€™s one thing that looks a bit wrong though, and that is how the player holds the gun. Especially his left arm seems stretched out instead of slightly bendt and also gets the feeling that he holds it to far away from the body. Making the gun seem small somehow. I would suggest moving it back abit and bend the left arm.

How are the Maps coming on?

Will the Helicopter in the movie move a la the Airship in Airfield Assault?

Nice looking Video tho

(KillerKind) #150

Lanz - Thanks, I knew that would raise some concerns. Iā€™ve fixed the arm by moving it back some, no worries.

fattakin - Maps are coming along fine, though we are looking for mappers. So if you know any with experience, send them my way. :wink:

Also, Iā€™ve been toying with the idea of having the M79 grenade launcher as a secondary weapon to the M2 Carbine. So, when you choose the M2 you can right click to bring up the M79. Well, here, have a look at this short video and youā€™ll see what I meanā€¦

Hmm, I think it would be better to make ā€œseperateā€ weapons.
Just add the grenade launcher as new weapon.
And the player has to change weapons tu use them.

I donā€™t know very much about weapons.
But I think there has been a grenade launcher for the M-16.

([AE]HawkeyE) #152

ya, itā€™s the m203 grenade launcher and makes it look really mean with it on :), itā€™s then called the m16-m203. Would be quite cool actually itā€™ll kinda be like the grenade launchers on the m1ā€™s and k43ā€™s in ET and probably make many people happy.

here are some pics:
M16-M203 1
M16-M203 2
M16-M203 3
M16-M203 4

This one would be pretty cool, I think itā€™s taken from operation flashpoint by the look of the screenshot
M16-M203 5

Those are all M-16 A2ā€™s though and Iā€™m pretty sure they used the A1 in vietnam which more or less looked like this:
M16-M203 A1

This is not an M16, itā€™s an M4

(KillerKind) #154

Interesting, I didnā€™t know they used them in Vietnam. That last pic sure looks like it though. If so, I think that would be better than the m2/m79 combo, for sure.

([AE]HawkeyE) #155

Good, call, itā€™s a bit too short at the end for an M-16, I just seached google for m16 grenade launcher and didnā€™t feel the need to second guess the pics. Still gets the point accross though.

(h0nd) #156

Doesnā€™t matter, the M203 is for both rifles.

(Davros) #157

some good progress :slight_smile: but the textuers are very bright :eek: , did you do a light compile? i guess you did but try reducing the saturation of the foliage. the grass could use a little work. perhaps have some bits shorter and bendier than others, it looks too uniform atm. i like the palm plant models tho

(xzibit) #158

wow its great to see this for et! i cant wait for a release :smiley:

(KillerKind) #159

Just thought I would pimp a few shots of the Delta map Iā€™m working on now. Still creating new models, textures, shaders and such.

(MindLink) #160

Most of your textures are still pretty oversaturated, gives everything this ā€œplasticā€ look. Considerung that your screenshots donā€™t have any kind of lighting some of those textures are way to dark too. And please, if you post screenshots at least do post screenshots with lighting :slight_smile: Fullbright map screenshots always look like poo compared to the final results, it wonā€™t do it any justice :slight_smile:
