AlexVestin 24 Posted June 4, 2013 Perhaps this would be a fair champion?https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56844908/arma3%202013-03-12%2017-36-31-89.jpg that would be RH's Mk18mod1 currently WIP (trying to get a release date out of them) I did send him a pm a long time ago about those, just asking if they'd be up for a release or not, I think. Can't remember. No answer tho :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockdpm 10 Posted June 4, 2013 I did send him a pm a long time ago about those, just asking if they'd be up for a release or not, I think. Can't remember. No answer tho :p His partner advark i think it is, told me theyd be released soon enough. But i read a post from him a few months back saying they'd be ready for release in a few weeks but obviously that never happened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted June 4, 2013 I may be able to help on the SCAR front, these Arma 2 models need to be put to use ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chortles 263 Posted June 4, 2013 For reference's sake, here and here is the "M14 EBR" model used in MGS4 if you choose to go for that instead of just reusing the BI Arma 3 EBR. Overall, the Praying Mantis loadout seems to be the Mk 17, "GSR" (basically a SIG 1911 with a laser/light rail), the M870 Custom (both standalone and "Masterkey"), "M14 EBR", and "rarely" Javelins, with the M1126 and ICV and M2HB-equipped Humvees for vehicles.

roberthammer 582 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Just for info - in MGS4 they used 2nd gen of Scar Mk17 (only they didn't used the newer AAC flash hider like typical scars do) and not the first one - first gen uses that ugly stock like fish tail or something :D Edited June 4, 2013 by RobertHammer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted June 4, 2013 It's a blend then, considering (as I linked earlier) you definitely have the 1st gen flash hider; here's its other render. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexVestin 24 Posted June 4, 2013 Personally I'd have one or the other and no mixed version. 2nd gen seems like an appropriate way to go. I tried having a (Kiorys) balaclava AND goggles as the same model. There was only horrible clipping when wearing caps and the like. ice123 have swat units with balaclavas that are defined in their identities, meaning they're not an item and they are not thicker than the default faces. That would work perfectly for this if I just could maybe make their masks not have a mouth area that is super detailed like now. It's too skintight to look believable. Could maybe work as a placeholder atm. For reference's sake, here and here is the "M14 EBR" model used in MGS4 if you choose to go for that instead of just reusing the BI Arma 3 EBR. They're both exactly the same still, right? Only difference being BIS model is tan. I can't spot any other difference. I'd be nice having a dark EBR with it's default optics being the SOS scope available now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted June 4, 2013 They didn't seem exactly the same, but I'll agree that there were no substantive/gameplay-affecting differences, so I have no objection to (and would even prefer) reusing the BI Arma 3 EBR; note that the in-game scope model was basically a Shortdot but with a seemingly custom reticle (weapon side view, first-person view, and 3/4 rear from above in PNG here). Food for fun: if an underbarrel shotgun can be done in Arma 3, then all this is possible. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexVestin 24 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Alex, you may have made me want to actually play A3 with these PMCs. I'm glad to hear. It's a tiny pack, really. But I feel they're more worthy oponments compared to the Iranians. No idea why. ArmA opfor has had a good streak of being less well equipped visually imo and it must've gotten stuck in my head :p With scripted exclamation marks above their heads once they spot an enemy? Possible? :D Could it be scripted per mission? Not saying I want it in this pack, It would just be hilarious to see. I have not showed the current progress on some of the pilots. They're not specifically from the MGS universe, but I'd say they fit right in. Will probably get some better pictures of them later. I made them for the sake of having some variation and to not have the default looking opfor pilots if there are helicopters invovled in the mission. Armor crew will probably get made too.

AlexVestin 24 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Well, if you're making them BLUFOR, maybe you need to pit them against player OPFOR... ;) Nah, they'll be Opfor, or the next best Independent. But I want them as Opfor :) Did someone ask for a SCAR? ;) Mother of chocolate cookies that is still sexy! Awesome :D The animations are obviously not corrected since it sits quite high in his hands, but the question of using a frontgrip vs no frontgrip comes to mind. I'd feel having it w/o frontgrip like this would spice things up from what every arma player is used to: http://img439.imageshack.us/img439/3921/scarh016yd.jpg But at the same time it's probably not that common.

Only the flash hider is different. I did a quick reskin for the existing EBR rifle to make it look like the MGS one. Here are some screens. You can compare them yourself :) http://imageshack.us/a/img819/5669/arma32013060500321650.png http://imageshack.us/a/img585/6092/arma32013060500333092.png http://imageshack.us/a/img843/5134/arma32013060500352514.png http://imageshack.us/a/img38/3236/arma32013060500445359.png Edited June 4, 2013 by AlexVestin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidpinky 11 Posted June 5, 2013 Now we need Old Snake and Liquid Ocelot.. and maybe B&B Corps. Liquid definitely. ;) And a decent Colt revolver or a Thor 45 70. A Gekko or two, just to see how they would really fare in some real warfare. Anyone want to borrow one, got one I put in GTASA years ago? Looking forward to these PMCs though, my char is going to get some good sneaky missions out of them. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542955139992369457/021D4F08C7F3562CF357B773485F7A928A61D8FD/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/542955139992322491/ACD37FDC8D4E3218A459ED9ED372F27DA36D0FC8/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexVestin 24 Posted June 7, 2013 She needs a bit of work alright, one thing I'm aiming for is the iron sights folding when optic is attached. And a few other minor annoyances. I believe that part is on the BIS wiki too if you haven't seen it. Are you having any un-expected problems or do you think it'll work out alright? I'm trying to get a Stryker (M1126 ICV M2)(BIS sample model) in-game. I believe I need to set up suspension and all that shit. It's in-game, but it's not enterable by just standing next to it, the textures are not done, it behaves like a brick, it can't shoot and it does not really work in the meny correctly. I'm doing progress, though. Also. Is the ArmA1 Stryker undersized or is it the correct size by default? Anyone who knows for sure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
