der bastler 0 Posted August 8, 2003 The United States Colonial Marines Modification is back! After our short break (due to RL-work) we are now continuing with Weyland-Yutani Security (WeYSec) troops, allies and enemies of the USCMarines. The WeYSec soldiers will wear a dark/black armoured suit plus a helmet which protects the whole head and provides integrated NV/binocs. WeYSec's standard assault rifle is the FN F3000. It's the counterpart for the M41a Pulserifle and fires aluminium bolts and HE shells. screenshot of WeYSec soldier with FN F3000 (work-in-progress models) Counterpart of USCM's M56 Smartgun (still todo) will be the M2000 machine canon. In fact it's a M2 MG cal .50 reduced in weight (new materials) and dimensions. screenshot of M2000 (work-in-progress model) The M78 PIG (Phased Plasma Infantry Gun) will be part of WeYSec's arsenal. Counterparts for USCM: SADAR (guided missile) and RPG. M78 scripts are ready and have to be implementated. Perhaps you know the old demo video (DivX5). After that I'll create the APC and continue zippyos dropship. Request: We need an animator. Smartgun and M2000 should be carried in a different way -> gun operators need new animations. Perhaps someone knows how to modify the existing soldier animations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted August 8, 2003 I think the USCM Tech Manual also says that the Marines use the PIG too. I'm really looking forward to trying it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sxep 0 Posted August 9, 2003 You guys need to do a Xenomorph! Would be so cool in opf..Run trough the woods hunting pray. But damn you need a good animator for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
der bastler 0 Posted August 9, 2003 Here's another screenshot of WeYSec... What do you think of this FN F3000 sound (burst mode)? For the Xenomorph... yes, a good movement animator is needed for that, that's true. I don't even know how to animate the smartgun-operators. Guess I've to learn how to use the animation editor...

der bastler 0 Posted August 9, 2003 Good news We have found an animator for the smartgun operators, rouge1 wants to help us. I've built a first model of the M78 PIG. Well, let's see how a power backpack connection can be established... screenshot M78 PIG Bad news I've to pay attention to some exams in the next weeks (pass /revise ), therefore development will be delayed until August 20th+.

der bastler 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Last action this weekend: M78 PIG field test video (avi, 3.73 MB) (sorry for low quality, couldn't get fraps working; made by Ixus ) P.S.: The impact effect will be reduced for release version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
der bastler 0 Posted August 11, 2003 I can't help doing it --here's another movie showing a T80 hit by a plasma bolt: M78 PIG ionic bolt impact movie (again, created with an IXUS V2) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

der bastler 0 Posted August 21, 2003 The helmets of WeYSec were redesigned... screenshot (not yet textured) If you see three green dots in the dark... run! (Or grap your M41 and return fire ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sxep 0 Posted August 21, 2003 WOW does do look good! Just my taste But is that fantasy or do you have some ref. for them? If yes i would like to see it, to compare. I remember AVP2 (or was it 1?) there where guys in HEV Suits, brown coloured. they did look cool to. I try to get a pic. Good work Bastler! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
der bastler 0 Posted August 22, 2003 It's fantasy, but I try to follow the style of "Aliens"... WeYSec is meant as a top-secret security service for Weyland-Yutani, because this corporation has something to hide. Their tasks include securing W-Y facilities, PR (i.e. erasing bad news -> terminating traitors, investigators, disquieters), espionage and counter-intelligence, ...
