Us colonial marines

[lukemax 0]

When we gonna see some demos? all i see is different couler dropships

[ardvarkdb 104]

There was a video awhile back showing a dropship and apc working (both were untextured at the time) but it was still pretty impressive. I can't wait to see these things in action with these fine textures

The Work In Progress screenshots are looking fantastic!

Keep up the good work.

I was wondering if the team was able to work out all the scripting and related issues for the Colonial Marine's special equipment and weapons.

How are the flamethrowers, smart-guns, sentry guns, motion tracker, etc., coming along?

At any rate, awesome work, and I know I'm not alone when I say I'm really anticipating this mod.

Whats your plan for anamations for the aliens?

[nephilim 0]

the aliens wil be animated soon

sorry that we dont show much atm

were trying to hurry with the production but u must understand that all members have life ;)

everyone of use has a job etc (well im getting one)

im a bit in delay delivering the models to kyle to script/config them

some things like the m56 or m240 are basially done

we just need to think of proper solutions that will work easily

for their functions

plz understand

i will post pictures of the units asap

@Nephilim and other team members of this mod

No problem, I didn't mean to sound like I was rushing you guys.

I know its hard work to make even one little addon like a functioning rifle.

It was mainly just a question of curiousity.

Take all the time you need!

There is no need to appologize

If this mod is made carefully and at your own pace, it will be a truly incredible set when finished, so don't let us rush you.

Well what I really ment was how are you going to make the aliens crawl on walls and ceilings and whatever without letting the OFP engine make it look crappy?

[-)rStrangelove 0]

I don't think it's possible to do it in OpF without looking crap. I don't like this kind of wall crawling anyway. It's an invention of the avp games, it's not (directly) from the movie ALIENS.

We saw aliens climbing along a ceiling because there were little holes in the metal ground platings or in the alien slime - you never spotted them crawling up a normal wall like in the games.

OpF is a free environment game, not much to crawl on anyway.

[rogaty 0]

It's not invention of avp games. It's a invention of Alien 3 movie

[nephilim 0]

weeeeeeeeeee thie wildest speculations

honestly

u should get away form the avp idea.

the uscm mod wont be about grunts killing bugs..

it will be settled in a fictional war between the us and japan

(c uscm tech manual)

therefore we wont focus on a alien plot

@rogaty

its not a direct invention of alien3 u cant hold that argument

in alien u can see the alien hang down under

before it pierces brent´s skull

in aliens u can see the aliens crawl on the ceiling when the marines are already decimated

(scene where theres only hicks, vasques, hudson, ripley, newt and burke in the red light room)

the alien itself isnt totally defined yet

there have been various outtakes in all movies that could give a huge variety of speculations on that lifeform.

in alien theres a scene where there bearded guy (forgot the name) is captured by the alien in a shaft as he tried hunting it down.

lateron after ripley sets the nostromo to selfdestruct she finds him cocooned somewhere in teh bowels of the ship.

the cocoone scene is intresting as u can see how the captive

slowly is transformed into a egg,

which actually in aliens is layed by a queen.

thats just one example...

[SFWanabe 0]

Hudson and Hicks are some badasses.

[-)rStrangelove 0]

Hudson has the best armor drawing, that's for sure. I just don't like ppl yelling 'That's it, maaan - game over, maaan' all the time.  

Hicks is cool. Nobody can decide to bombard a multi million dollar installation without the squinch of an eye.  

[orson 0]

When Hicks sticks his head up into the ducting and see's the aliens crawling down the duct towards him , they move around the whole inside of the ducting , and its smooth sided .

"They'r inside the room man ! "

" 10 metres !"

The shot was filmed by droping actors in alien suits down a vertical shaft of ducting into a pool to give the impresion they could move about on any surface , like geko's .

[UKSubmariner 0]

so what sort of kit are we likely to see on the Japanese side of things?

[nephilim 0]

itll be a mix of ww2 and modern japanese military with sone scifi influences just like the colonial marines

i had a concept sketchsomewhere

unfortunatelly im not home so i cant upload it....

[barnEbiss 0]

Do you guys have a motion Tracker model?? If not you can use mine if you want.

A guy and me are working on getting it in game as a working motion tracker in AVP2

But you could use my model also if you wanted to.

I think I posted a pic of it earlier before we smoothed the handle more.

Hey that looks nice !

[kurow 0]

Reading all of this good stuff made me watch Aliens. This is very interesting stuff. I tried to download der bastler's colonial marines addon to my ofp game. I have GOTY edition, and for some reason this pops up at the menu.

Config.bin/CfgWeapons bastler_M41a Pulse

I dont understand what am I doing wrong.

This pops up after I try to pick a character

No entry !modelSpecial!

?

I can see the soldiers without their weapons after I exit the island during the main menu.

Is their anyone who can help? I apologize if this is off topic, I just want to quench my Colonial marine thirst until these addons are released.

[nephilim 0]

no prob m8

i think that u need the m41apr addon in ur addon folder

means te first m41a released by der bastler

u can dwl it from somewhere on ofp.info

look under addons > rifles

[kurow 0]

Yes. I did that before and Still nothing happened. It only allowed for the regular infantry soldiers from opf to use the the m41a. I will try it again just to make sure. Is there a specific place that I need to copy the file to?

thanks again.

Yeah, tried it again and nothing worked. Just made me a little more made because I have no aliens to shoot at. maybe Im doing something wrong.

if its possible can you direct me to the exact location of both addons so I can make sure I dont mess up.

[kurow 0]

OK just found something that I didnt look into before. In the read me file it says that it requires

bastler_umwp1.pbo

Where can I locate this?

[EricJ 759]

Well, if someone could point me to the settings for MakePBO for OFP, I can hook you up, as I have it converted for VBS1 right now.

[kurow 0]

Its okay I got it from the person who started it from the start, der bastler! Thanx. Until the rest of this stuff is released.

[EricJ 759]

YEah, it's going kinda slow due to me moving and stuff, but once I get some kind of settled in, I'll pick some stuff up again.
