New vietnam campaign

[Warrior Xâ„¢ 0]

Heads up,

Campaign has new logo (Look in first post). And will also be using 1 more addon (bottom of list 1st post). Also things are coming along nicely. Expect some new pictures soon. Testing is in full progress, editing to.

Modifications to beta missions done/getting done. An estimate on the campaign would be somewhere between 65 and 70%. The remaining tasks are...well getting the story linked up more, getting the beta's further out of beta, finishing 1 or 2 missions to go into beta stage, making modifications to intro's and cutscenes. There ya go.

OK first of all, i asked around and to my knowledge it came to light that Ilo Ilo island and Meekong do not need Tonal island to function. This means a total of about 160 MB of addons can be chucked out the window as requirements for this campaign. This leaves it with a respectable 60MB, out of which 45MB is sebnampack 2.

If anybody can prove the above fact otherwise, please do.

Next a new set of pics.  

First some cutscene pics:

Mean guy looking cool.

In the real 'Nam you would probably be sniperbate in this.

Some chitchat with the CO.

Some patrol passing by at a base gate.

And now some action pics  :

Who's there?!!

Heavy encounters of the enemy kind.

Ambush!!!

Keep your eyes open.

You mother #$@%*, you can do better then that!!!

A nice boatride.

Hey, Warrior X. Has this quotation been taken out of one of the Alice in Chains' songs, titled "Rooster", which came out along with the "Dirt" LP, back in 1992?I love Alice in Chains and Vietnam.Alice is no more(Layne Staley,+2002, R.I.P.) - where's the campaign then? ...

Yes it is a quotation from Alice in chains. i just found it fitting to the Nam scene. The original video clip has Nam in it and therefore i just put that down in my signature. And the campaign is still under developement  

btw quess where my leading caracter got his name from

[burroughs 0]

Roger that. Yes, I know the video - I've said that I love Alice in Chains and such thing comes with a certain attitude that involves knowing the subject of the feeling backwards. The story behind the lyrics of the song(and the video itself) is that the guitarist, Jerry Cantrell, wrote about his own father real-life experience(both of them appear in a few scenes with a hunting rifle). See what I mean? ...

Best regards.

Burroughs is a man of many talents, mostly shifting around so Charlie can't find him. Just as we can't find Charlie. Ever came across a Vietnamese named Charlie? Rofl i know it's from "Gooooooodmorning Vietnaaaam!!"

And the work continues once more....

[honchoblack 2]

ROFL! I didn't notice that when i looked at those pics.

I'm really looking forward to this campaign. Are the missions very CPU intensive? Will my old P4 1.4 cope?

[Warrior Xâ„¢ 0]

I'm trying to lower the lag as much as possible. I started the campaign when i had a AMD 1800, now i have more. But my testers haven't reported any lag so far (dunno what they have on specs). There might be 2 or 3 intensive missions in the campaign, but i'm working with body deletion and spawn scripts to try to counter the lag.

well we go around and ask if there name is Charlie, If they say yes we shoot them. At the moment were having trouble they all have names like Nguyan and Nuan

Alright, i am in need of 1 or maybe two voice actors at the most.

Requirements:

- Mic (duh);

- Some voice recording program (even Teamspeak has this);

- A voice that sounds at least a bit American/English.

pm me if your interested.

thnx, dismissed that will be all.  

[Placebo 28]

I guess there weren't too many Northern English accents in the Nam

I guess there weren't too many Northern English accents in the Nam  

Yeah well i am glad with any voice actually. As long as it sounds clearly understandable. This because:

1) I am not making a "uber" realistic Nam campaign;

2) It's a Nam campaign for fun;

3) The community is made out of more then just American speaking guys, so any good sounding english speaking dude can apply.

Placebo by any chance   ?

[Placebo 28]

PM me what you'd have me say and we'll see

[Drongo69 117]

If you need an Australian voice, I can help.

[Warrior Xâ„¢ 0]

mkay i'll send out the scripts for the voices later today when i get home from work and get some grub. Didn't have time the last couple of days heh sorry.

@tacrod

Australian sounds good. There were Australian forces in 'Nam so no problem there  

[AntipopAU 3]

Cant wait for it to finish!

Some new pics from firefight scene's:

Arty.

One b*tch of a fight.

Line up so i can shoot y'all.

This dude's in rage.

News on progress, well we are finally moving somewhere.

Love Vietnam missions! All I play.

Still looking for voice actors? Done it before for packaged games.

Born in the US, Womack Army Hospital, Ft Bragg, NC (Fayetteville, NC) as a matter of fact. Needless to say I have a US accent.

[Warrior Xâ„¢ 0]

Just a update report so you guys know what's going on here:

- Beta testing is getting done. Currently have two beta testers doing (duh) the beta testing.   (had 3 once, went back to 1 now have 2 again)

- Voice acting is getting done. Have six voice actors atm.

slowly (good otherwise i would drown in work) voice recordings are coming in.

Work to be done on the campaign:

- fix bugs;

- voice implementation;

- finishing couple of missions.

Estimate at campaign: 70%

p.s Yes moving slow, but last couple of miles of the road to the finish are always harder to do.
