Norwegian Forces Studios - Regulars Pack BETA

[Marsuitor 0]

Lately the NFS team has been working hard on getting our first Norwegian addon ready.

Viking, the soldier modeller and coder on the team went to Canada for a two week vacation, this in effect would give us a two week downtime with not much done. Result, we decided to work extra hard to get a Beta version ready for the community.

It's basically the finished product, save a few minute creases that need ironing out. Hope you lot like it and take the time to post bugs, feedback and any future wishes in this thread.

Now, what's included this time around?

- Desert and woodland camoflaged units.

- Three different headdress, berets, boonies and helmets.

- A suite of weapons representing most of the Norwegian armory.

- Realistic soldier loadouts.

- Changeable beret colors, see readme for more information.

The readme contains quite a bit more information, be sure to read it!

Also there's a read1st file that we would appreciate if you took the time to look through.

Now, the link,

Been waiting for this one...

[Munk 0]

Does this mean Viking can come out to play now?

[Marsuitor 0]

My oh my, didn't take long for replies...

Another bug not mentioned in the readme, the radio pack seems to have it's medium lod missing, so only produces a white blob further away than 15m. Remedy, don't use the RTO Operator yet, all soldiers have personal radios anyway. Sorry for this..

Why are there JAM Files included in the download?

I think everybody should have this files on his computer.

And those who don't have the file can download it, if they want to use the pack. For the others this is just a longer download time.

Very nice looking units!

Believe one of the terms of JAM was that the addons using it had to have it included.

I get and agree to your point, and i'll make another archive without it..

Cheers,

Marcus

Good pack!

A few things...

-Untexed helmet lods

-cant pick up MG3

-Blood needs to look a little more real (IMO)

[Marsuitor 0]

Thanks for feedback! ;-)

The blood is only temporary, i've done most of the soldier textures and the blood is something of an experiment from my part. It's the beginning of a new method i'm trying out, but it'll be better in the next release (sometime within three weeks). The MG3 thing, didn't know about that, i'll have Viking look into it ASAP. Also the helmets, is this the problem that when you shoot a desert soldier in the head, the texture reverts back to the BAS black texture?

If anyone finds any other issues, let us know!

I might also add that the FAV, or Multikjřretřy as it's called in Norwegian will probably be our next release after we've got this pack to version 1.0. There's still quite a bit to be done before it's ready, but without any promises i'm assuming sometime August.

Early piccie:

We can't have soldiers roaming about with no ride now, can we?

There's also a Bell412 hocus (i believe) in the works and not too far off..

Now, some more info on our Special Forces setup. As you may or may not know, we were initially planning for a generic type special forces model in this release. We decided against this because the scope of what these guys do is much greater than running about with desert BDU's and a shemagh around their head. Therefore we are starting to think about a pack with something like six-seven different models.

What we're currently foreseeing is;

- HALO/Jump equipped unit

- Diving equipped unit (based on the CoC_Diver)

- CQB unit, black clad, woodland and desert (Also Police Tier 1 unit, Delta/Beredskapstroppen)

- Wood/Desert LRRP units, big backpack, shemagh etc.

- Local dress, Afghan style clothing, Pakhool hat and chicom chestrigg over desert BDU.

- Local dress, eastern European clothing, scruffy tracksuit and leather jacket with Russian type belt kit.

- CP Detail, Civvy clothes and western style rig

This will naturally take some time to complete, but we already have the base models, so we're probably looking sometime within the next two or three months. As of now we're still just brainstorming on this, so if anyone has good idea, we'll hear you out.

Cheers,

Marcus

The helmet lod issue is that you have untextured white helmets when you zoom out.

[Evishion 0]

Ace! shall download it asap.. just need to eat first

Damn, Ic ant wait to try this units.. have waited a long time on them

[bonko the sane 2]

these are nice

apart from the bugs mentioned , IMO you should improve the Mg3, it looks very different from the other weapons in quality.

[Evishion 0]

Uff!!.. Jam again... I HATE when allmoust all the guns got the same Boring sound I think u should make diff sounds for the diff guns!

[the_shadow 0]

does it come with more than the desert units shown in the pics?

[Evishion 0]

desert and woodland

[Marsuitor 0]

Boonie, beret and helmet. Also a helmet version with a shemagh and a beret version with a personal radio.

The MG3 still has some way before it's done, it's not the complete thing.

Sorry about the JAM issue, we like to stick to community standards and it's probably going to stay that way. We're making custom 5.7mm ammo though with another sound etc. Btw, the JAM sounds are more realistic IMO, not some beefed up Hollywood stuff.

Thanks for comments and feedback folks!
