The s.j.b. handgun project

[Jackal326 1181]

neways, its the textures o the scope. I just hope they will be JPG in release, and also that you dont ban me from using your addons just cos im uber picky.

Don't worry, the textures for the scope WILL be in JPG format on release (as they are in the preview image).

How could I possibly ban you from using my addons even if I wanted to?  

EDIT: I just uploaded an ingame shot of the Desert Eagle with scope. It can be found here.

I don't have any criticisms or suggestions other than to say that you are doing a very nice job with this pack

[Jackal326 1181]

Hope you include that p-226

I re-included it today, and have tested the two versions and they are looking very promising. Screenshots to come...

like the DE so much its my avatar

what kind of optics/crosshair are you planning to use for this beast?

[Jackal326 1181]

It would be your avatar if it loaded

Anyway, I'm not sure what optic to use at the moment, but for the purposes of testing I'm using the XMS optic with low magnification.

Any suggestions are welcome.

[Jackal326 1181]

I just uploaded a quick screenshot from O2 of the P-226. Its still not perfect and requires quite a bit of tweaking etc.

EDIT: I moved the screenshot here and also uploaded 3 shots of the other SIG SAUER models. Take a look, and let me know your views and opinions.

my avatar dont load?

guess my sig doesnt show up on these boards either

i need better hosting

for the sights on the scope, try to find something realistic, like the crosshair for the scope you are using, if its an actual real life scope

edit: found a pic of a DE with a scope on the magnum research website...has the end of the scope lined up with the end of the barrel. Is this the proper way it should look, or can you mount scopes just like the way you made yours, jackal

Leupold 2x EER Scope

couldn't find a pic of what they look like when you view from them

[Andraz 2]

Scopes that could be mounted on Desert Eagle are Leupold M8-2x20mm and Leupold Vari-X 2.5-8x32mm (according to Magnum Research, Inc.).

Leupold M8-2x20mm

Leupold handgun scope M8-2x20mm with extended eye relief has duplex reticle and field of view 7.07m at 100m. It's available in gloss black or silver finish.

Leupold Vari-X 2.5-8x32mm

Leupold handgun scope Vari-X 2.5-8x32mm with extended eye relief has duplex reticle and field of view 4.33m at 100m (2.5x magnification) and 1.43m at 100m (8x magnification). This scope is also available in gloss black or silver finish.

Duplex reticle

[Andraz 2]

The scope should be mounted in a way that the end of it does not protrude over the muzzle. If it does, when firing the gun, hot gas can damage the front lens and isn't helpfull to a scope's finish.

If I may comment, real SIG-Sauer P226 doesn't have "SIG-Sauer" marking on the right side of the slide, only on the left side. The font you used for marking is wrong.

with all due respect.. i understand your concern of the gun being portreied in the correct way.. but.. who cares? you wont be able to see it in-game anyway!  

It´s like saying "the pipe is 0.3 mm too long!!"

Little details like that make all the difference

Well, I can say that it toke me a fare beet to read this topic... and now I'm rader interested.

One thing, well two really.

Escopes on guns and sniping with a hand gun; I allways thought about handguns as a hiden or back up weapon, so a escope and sniping on a handgun is a bit out of R-L for me, but who I am to complain, when I download the pack I just won't use the escoped versions and we'll all happy, so no complains on that, I just wanted to say so.

Second thing: Major Fubar pointed something that I was going to say aswell, a cuted of shot gun. My mate have one, he is a farmer and uses to scare them Magpie and crows from his land, but they allso a very dangerous weapon, you can conceal it and it really have a major punch on them, so I think they should be inclouded in one of your hand gun packs, not just in you SRT project.

I dunno about "sniping" but scopes on handguns can be effectivly used to get longer range out of powerful handguns. But you won't use handguns at ranges you would with a sniper rifle. I think mounting scopes on handguns is quite popular amongst hunters. Scopes on guns is realistic but they don't work as sniper rifles.

[Jackal326 1181]

I haven't included the font on the right side of the slide, and speaking of which, the font is practically identical to that in the image you linked to in your many posts (you could have just edited the same post, but there we go).

I agree about the pistols not being used as full on sniper rifles, just an in-between gun, longer range than a standard handgun, and less range of a rifle.

[SEAL_Sniper 0]

Just thought I'd add...adding a scope to a pistol makes it almost unwieldly large, especially on something like the DE hand-cannon. Also, it doesn't change the ballistics at all on the pistol. In reality, a pistol is rarely accurate past around 30 yards. And that's pushing it. A scope doesn't extend the range of the pistol, all it does is extend the view distance, and not by much. Most pistol scopes are around 3-4x, because they're not accurate out past that far. The relatively short length of the barrel prohibits accurate shooting at long distances.

Smartie pants. Of course it doesn't extend the range of the gun, but it enhances the view distance. That is kinda underimplied don'cha think?

And did anyone imply it was going to be more powerful than your average non-scoped handgun?

And I think most people reading this know the effective range of a handgun, you don't need to tell us that

[Jackal326 1181]

Anyway, the Desert Eagles and Colt 1911s are going through their preliminary BETA tests, and only a few minor bugs have been uncovered, which will be fixed shortly.

Due to a few requests, I have decided to include matte black versions of a few of the handguns only previously made with a silver-esque finish, including the SIG PRO, SIG P-228 and the USP .45.

[GoOB 0]

Good to hear, looking forward to playing with the guns. The Nogova vice squad will be more than pleased

Few posts ago, you posted a link to a picture of your SIG-Sauer P226 with silver finish.

http://sjb.ofprc.net/Preview....8_1.jpg

The font on your pistol is far from being identical to font SIG-Sauer use on their handguns and on your pistol, marking is on RIGHT side of the slide where it shouldn't been. Frankly, I don't give a *uck if you take this into account, but that is how it is on real handgun, buddy.

[Jackal326 1181]

Thats a P-228...if you read the name of the picture and the text actually in the image.

Besides, there is no need for:

Quote[/b] ]Frankly, I don't give a *uck if you take this into account, but that is how it is on real handgun, buddy.

Lets try to keep this civil, I don't want the thread locking because of a small arguement like this.

[Andraz 2]

My bad, I was referring to that model, P228, which is a compact version of P266 (that's why I got a bit confused). Marking on P226, shown on the first picture, is just fine.

I'm sorry for that comment, won't happen again.

[Jackal326 1181]

OK, arguments aside, I 'fixed' the P-228 taking Andraz's opinions into consideration. Check it out at this link.

I also uploaded a few other screenshots I found lying around my hard-drive. They can be found here. Some of them are old, and not as up-to-date as the others, but they help keep track of developments.
