USEC Parachutist/H.A.L.O. Series

[purepassion 22]

naahhh that is sad...

so you propably will have to use some sort of HUD on the display

[ryguy 10]

Could you make it a carry-able item, like a watch?

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

Will these be a certain unit, or just generic SF unit in HALO gear? Can't wait for these either way :)

[Drumheller 19]

Can you post a screen of what the unit(s) will look like stripped down to operational ground gear?

[Baz 0]

Be interesting to see how this turns out ingame... Do you think you could make some Paratroopers too?

Also if you intend to have a "change clothes" script where once you land on the ground the HALO equipment is off I suggest allowing it to have the mission maker "pick" the model you would transition into once on the ground possibly VIA the usage of classnames for the ground unit.

the bolded is not possible in mp.

i am sure he is talking about hidden selection approach, hiding the halo gear only

[rye1 21]

Wow, excellent work!

[Defunkt 431]

It is actually possible using SelectPlayer but the exact best method and implications will vary from mission to mission so I wouldn't suggest it be an automated part of the addon. Best done as a placeable module with some toolbox routines to assist IMO.

Hot units.

:459: Them be some top units, cant wait to see an vid of them. Keep that good work up.

[AnimalMother92 10]

Impressive looking units

[pre-Vet 10]

This is great! Looks real professional.

[chaddlesg 10]

Like stated before...I do not know if I would have spent $450 to release this add for free. Look here http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/navy-seal-halo-jumper-3d-model/496479

Think of it as a gift from Rocket and USEC to the community.

are you actually saying this is bought of turbosquid? not that i care

[chaddlesg 10]

I'm not sure where Rocket get's his sources from, but I was just suggesting don't think too much about it, just enjoying it when it gets released :)

[PuFu 4591]

fair enough, even if it's the case, the product license doesn't deny his right to transmit it further.

Maybe you wouldn't, but thankfully there are happy sharing people in this community who enjoy releasing addons for the general public

And how do you know that it was bought just for the purpose of this addon? While the likely case, it's wrong to state it like it's some kind of put down or affront to the addon maker that you found this out

Hotly awaiting this, and somewhat inspiring from my own standpoint of starting character modelling and seeing the cool results possible

[heroes maker 10]

a gift ? for 450$ ? ... i don't call this a gift, i call this a sale, but we are not here for that ... so, how it's going with the model ?

[m1n1d0u 29]

a sale ? have you read what he say ? Rocket (the guy who make the addon) give us a gift (pay the model it self) so yeah rocket give us a gift

[Jester_Darrak 10]

Is he wearing a HGU-55P helmet? If yes, would it be possible to make a fighter-pilot out of this beauty?

[belgerot 33]

I haven't used HALO units since the days of OFP, these look stunning!

[DetCord 96]

Yeah sorry, not so much. Miniscule changes for a purchased/public model, IMHO. At least that is what it looks like from my standpoint... I'll enquire via the site. If this is the case, you'd guys (USEC) be better off simply stating that the 3DS models were taken from XYZ, and avoid passing them off as your own.... which is a rather scum-baggy thing to do.

Does that not cover? I thought it was fairly obvious that this was what happened, as per several other addon makers in the community

I don't want to cause an affront over this but it feels like you guys are pushing away something awesome that's being offered to the community

It was clearly stated that it utilised library sources. So what's not to like? The original artist receives a financial reward and we get to enjoy a pro-release, everybody wins.

[raptor 6 actual 13]

So DevilDog, are we to assume that you'd rather them take it down since they paid for it so that you can release your HALO addon for the community? I think this late in the game, most of the community members/addon makers have been saturated with the copyright laws and the do's and the don'ts that seem to polarize this game and they would know what they can or can not release legally.

I respect your comment, but as DaveP said, let's not push this away IF they did acquire the rights and are now releasing it for FREE.

Good job USEC members.

I don't think DevilDog is saying that they should take it down. What DevilDog is saying is that they should give credit where credit is do. That SHOULD be done regardless of whether they acquired the rights or not. Crediting the maker of the models is simply the RIGHT thing to do.
