This is great, Jahve.

Now all we need is a map of Sweden so we can take back whats rightfully ours  

Denoir's gonna hate that  

Uhm... There already is one...  

Rightfully yours? We gave you Norway, we were nice to you...  

Wherebouts?

Looking good neighbours.

Just a question: are you allowed to release the Stridsbĺt before SFP releases it?

I don't believe SFP said we had to wait...

Correct me if I'm wrong, Jahve?

I havent been told anything.. but I spose its like that

[Hornet85 0]

do you guys have any % on how long iy will be for the firs relise or how long you have came whit the pack?

[Marsuitor 0]

Well, what still needs to be done on regular soldiers;

- Some cleaning up on the models.

- Woodland textures needs to be overhauled. Not as bad as it sounds, shouldn't take more than a couple of hours of solid work ;-)

- Some other textures needs making/finishing. Mostly done, just needs final touches and a "Good To Go" stamp.

- Some scripting and coding needs implementing AFAIK. Viking is the guy to comment on that.

Also, Jahve is doing a suite of weapons. He'll probably get back to you on that. We're discussing a way of perhaps getting some of the stuff out to the community at an earlier date, then as a teaser/beta, but that's all i can say on that for now.

Viking/Jahve can probably add some to this post.

Cheers,

Marcus

As for now, I have the woodland and desert teaser units done, except for the textures needing overhauling, as Marsuitor said.

The jeeps have their new "dirty" look (pics in next post down), so they are good to go.

The Bell is awaiting new animations from our anim expert, WaffenDennis, and it needs a tiny bit of retexturing.

Also, (Jahve), we need THE WEAPONS DONE!

Other than that, nothing much more to do on the teaser pack, I should think...

Tell me if I missed anything.

New skins on jeeps...

This time without the sterilized clean sides

First, a patrol observes a Stridsbĺt 90 cruising the southern coast of Nogova.

Two jeeps return to base after a two-day long patrol in the Nogovan desert.

looking ace.. can u post some pix of the regular solders to ?

[Marsuitor 0]

At the moment we only have soldiers with Telemark Bataljon berets (has it's reasons), a version with boonies, and helmets w/balaclavas. I'll hear with the guys if there'll be a possibility to do different berets too. In that case 6.division blue, black, GP/GSV, MP might be plausible. Also stadard moss-green. IMO there's no reason to do the HJK-FJ maroon one as they hardly use it any other time than in base and ceremonial.

There is a Fallskjermjeger/MJK/Spesialjeger and/or HV-016 universal unit on the line, as said, Viking is working on some nice stuff there. As said, we won't be making individual units for the two SOF units in the military, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart in-field anyhow. These are somewhat down the line and probably won't be included in a teaser type pack.

Other than that, i don't know yet if there's any of this hiddenselection business up for making, but if so, there might be individual patches for different units etc.

Still having downtime on the computer. Probably be buying a new videocard very soon, so i'll get back on track with the texture stuff...

Cheers,

Marcus

(We also have a version with "beanie" (?) hats)

Anyways, I have completed a new addition:

Removable rucksacks ala. FDF Mod...

For now there is only a Recon pack like those used by Fallskjermjegerkommandoen (paras) and probably other units like NORSOF.

I will be adding radio and other packs as we get the config split up a bit more into the different units.

Hey guys, I was watching future fighting machines today and they profiled the Hunter Rangers unit(Norwegian SEALs)..are they going to be included in yalls pack?

[Jahve 0]

we have no hunter rangers.. we have KJK (Kystjeger kommandoen) or Coastal Jaegers. They are the nearest to Rangers we have. and maybe Oppklaring (recon)

[Monkey Lib Front 10]

planning on winter units?

[Viking_NFS 0]

The whole concept with the KJK (Coastal Jegers) has been misunderstood:

First of all, let me say:

THE KJK ARE NOT SPECIAL FORCES

The KJK are divided into three main forces:

"Recce", "Regular" and "Light missile battery" (dunno what they are called, but you get the general idea)

"Recce" are the most elite of the KJK and are probably as close to SF you can get.

"Regular" are trained to the same standard as other infantry units in the military.

"Light missile battery" are small units trained to operate the weapons aboard the Stridsbĺt 90 and MTB's aswell as roaming around the archipelago with portable hellfire-batteries and taking out ships.

The problem with the KJK is they have been made to believe they are the Special Forces because they re getting most of the newest equipment.

This is not very popular with the SF.

So, my point:

The KJK are NOT the "Norwegian SEALS".

An overview:

Norwegian units          Examples of other units that are equal

MJK (marine jegers) =  Navy SEALS, SBS

FSK (special jegers) =  US Green Berets, SAS, Swedish SSG

KJK Regular            =  UK Royal Marines

KJK Recce              =  US Marine Force Recon

FJ (Para's)             =  British pathfinders,16th Air Assault Brig.

planning on winter units?

Yes, but they are quite a bit down the pipeline.

[Marsuitor 0]

Let me add something to the above post, the reason we're not having winter units done kwiktaem is our concept of doing addons of Norwegian soldiers in operation, and not here in Norway.

The country has long been involved in missions abroad, and most of hotspots around the world are around the equator plus/minus a few paralells. We are not aiming for a mod or fictional campaign involving a future war with Sweden, or Russia for that sake. So for now, unless we get dragged into the future liberation of Tibet or joint-ops with Russia in Chechnya (Chances = None) we won't be needing winter units for some time.

Cheers,

A time ago I saw on discovery a documentairy about an amphibious training of Norway and the UK in the snow of northern Norway.

Maybe it's nice to add a training campaign like this one

[Monkey Lib Front 10]

for enough, i just wanted to kick the FDF mods troops with in the winter, guess ill just do it in the autumn now

[Evishion 0]

well if u make Winter units u sure make it more funnyer to make maps.. I mean example winter war norway vs Rus or vs swe- ( tht was just an example ) so if u make winter u make the abillities for making missions much bigger.. if u know whatI mean

[reconmercs 0]

yeah, I had the wrong term yesterday their call Marine Hunters..I guess jegers is the norwegian term for hunter?

Should be possible, but i guess that comes down to what side we put our units on

Unless you like manual editing, that is.

J/K Should make for some interesting missions, yeah!

Ironsight,

We'd be needing new weapon models with recoil-boosters attached, miles laser gear and new freezing Brits animations...

DiabloTerror,

Yeah i get you.

Looks like we might have to do a Tibet mission or two then... Where's that PLA troop pack!?

OK than not in the snow and no Brits
