Marsuitor 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Desert Troop Screenshots Welkam, just to show some pictures of one of our ongoing projects, Norwegian desert troops. Shown here are some early pictures of Norwegian special forces MJK/FSK in desert regalia somewhere deserty. Still quite a bit to be done, so no release date yet. The completed version of the desert troops will include Norwegian professional regulars and special forces in various versions. We intend to include different types of berets so as to let people use different regiments ingame. As of now these will be FIST-H/Telemark Bataljon, 6. Division, HJK (for ceremonial purposes only i'd think...), Finnmark Regiment (GSV and Jegerbataljonen) and regular brown beret. Also perhaps some navy berets as well. For anyone interested, the theme of our packs will be set somewhere between now and around five years in the future, hence we'll for the most be operating with G36 and C8 rifles for the majority of the soldiers (much like what Earl and Suchey chose to do with their USMC addon). Also perhaps the FN-F2000. Other things we intend to include is BAS compliant goggles, Suchey's set of wound scripts and effects, and our own, JAM compliant, set of weapons. Also expect some missions to go with these, and eventually, perhaps, a campaign'ish thing also. Feedback is welcomed and should be directed either Viking or Marsuitor: patrickfardal@hotmail.com marsuitor@hotmail.com Other stuff worth mentioning is that these troops are currently planned released once complete, and we'll then continue work on our woodland troops. Much the same can be expected from them except they're woodland. Some of the vehicles we've got planned is the Swedish Stridsbĺt 90 for our KJK-marines and an open top Mercedes GD with a mounted .50 cal on top. More on those some other time. Also, just for record, the weapons shown on the screenshots are either Suchey's Marine M4's or standard BIS M4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted January 13, 2004 Norwegian army has desert camo ?? Morsomt! (Funny!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marsuitor 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Yup, quickly pressed into service after Norway decided to send an engineer squadron to Iraq and found out that using US desert camo (used in A-stan) wasn't such a good idea in that location... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Do I see some new animations over there? Moreover, does this camo really looks like that, cos it's kinda strange to me... BTW. Marsuitor, I like your avatar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marsuitor 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Hi, the animations are from OFPHunters animation replacement pack. Amongst many, includes new animations for "standing still", "on knees" and "walking in safe mode". I believe you can find them on OFP.Info. The camo scheme is basically the standard woodland layout, but with the colors changed to reflect a desert invironment. Looks quite effective, especially after some use when the colors have faded somewhat. Probably one of the things we'll be doing, getting the textures weathered some more. Apart from that our textures and models are pretty much finalized, just the weapons and a shitload of coding to do... Some piccies of the actual camo: Btw, the avatar is from some Ebay auction for some stuffed taxidermy baboon that was for sale. Probably the ugliest item i've ever seen.

eisa01 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Looking good, would be nice to see some missions included when it's released Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted January 13, 2004 Norway hasnt been in fighting before, only humanitarian work. Only with the F-16 in Afghanistan, and thats the only time. So I dont think it would be any missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marsuitor 0 Posted January 13, 2004 I wouldn't be too quick on the trigger there mate, there's been more going on than you'd think. The Lebanon era saw quite a bit action for the Norwegians, Somalia 93 had a few incidents for the Norwegian contingent and there's been stuff going on in the Balkans since way back in 94 (if i'm not mistaken) when the first Norwegian troops were deployed there. Also, i don't know what the SF has been involved with in A-stan, but i'm sure it's not just fun and games. Also keep in mind that the units out of this "mod" will be set some 4-5 years into the future. The Norwegian army, per today, is in change. It's slowly turning more and more pro, which i believe will equate to the Norwegian government in the future giving green lights to deployments unthinkable of for only a few years ago with regards to threat levels. Bottom line, Yes, there will be missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted January 13, 2004 After thinking a bit about the subject we have ONLY made humanitarian missions at Balkan and Somalia. Deploying Norwegian troops dosent mean they are here to fight, they where there to restore order and peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt_Phoenix 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Long time since I've seen you online Marsuitor. Nice to see that NFS is up and running. I opened a general news topic here a while back. Might be a good idea to have all news regarding NFS in one topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eisa01 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Good, missions is a must. Maybe I can help you out on that if you need it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vade_101 0 Posted January 13, 2004 Good work. and nice to see the pair of you are still around. any problems with configs and the like, don't hesitate to ask. Vade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marsuitor 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Colossus, You cannot restore order and peace if you are not trained and prepared to fight. Also, there's a difference between a peacekeeping mission and a humanitarian mission. But for the sake of keeping this thread on topic, i'll refrain from discussing this anymore here. I'll gladly continue over PM if you wish. Phoenix, thanks for that. We'll post new stuff in the thread mentioned. Eisa01, Thanks, your help will probably be very much appreciated! Contact Viking or Turbobyk if you wish (you have their mail?). Vade_101, Thanks for kind comments. Still hanging about... Been offline for quite some time now due to prolonged holiday. Still working in PUKF i presume? Anyhow, we'll probably have some .cpp issues or the likes in due time, so thanks for the offer! Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eisa01 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Yeah I have their msn. I'll do my best, haven't made a mission since april just need to find some time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
