Please help! I cannot open file with Winrar what program do i need to open this *.cap file* ??

[Sniperwolf572 758]

Cab files have much better compression rate then .rar, I think that's why Jackal used that format, I opened it up easely with WinRar 3.0, but if that isn't working you can also try Power Archiver.

Indeed. Had I used a conventional .ZIP format archive instead, the pack would have been over 100mb. For reference a .RAR came to ~60MB.

In other news, I decided to drop the old "box" suppressor on the new MK23 USSOCOM after I dsocvered it was the prototype suppressor, and instead switched to the style formerly adopted for it - screenshots to come.

[Jackal326 1181]

Just a quick post to let you know the project IS NOT dead, I've just been side-tracked with other things - namely, helping Safetycatch out with the latest version of his US Marines, which use my weapons and are shaping up rather nicely.

Anyway, what little progress I have made has been mainly on the MK23 SOCOM. The suppressor texture/model is still giving me some serious issues, with the fact it becomes VERY blurred, unless its right in your face - 30cm (as an estimate of ingame measurement based on a rough guess) away from the suppressor, and it looks so crap, its like the texture suddenly jumps into its lowest mipmap (any help on this issue and how I could possibly fix it is greatly appreciated). I'm fairly sure its not the texture itself, as I have tried 2 different textures, and they both suffered the same fate. I think it may be because the suppressor has a lot of faces, that are rather small, that it amplifies the mip-map process, and makes it look far worse - I'll keep investigating.

Sounds good, mate. Keep up the excellent work.

I remember there being some discussion about how 'dark' the M16/M4 models were... Have you any plans to lighten them up a bit?

Nice, they look a lot better!

[Jackal326 1181]

On the note of the M4A1 textures, all that remains is for me to lighten the back-up iron sight texture(s), as well as the textures for the M203 launcher, and they M4A1/M16A2/M16A4 variants are done. I even re-made the barrel on those weapon classes, to a higher-quality (i.e. higher-poly-count), so they do the rest of the weapon justice

Screenshots to come later.

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Animated parts?

[Jackal326 1181]

On a few weapons yes, such as the bolt on the AK47s, possibly the ejection port on other weapons too. At the end of the day, its not a high priority of mine, I just want to finish the pack before 2007

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Well I hope the handguns have fully animated slides (with disappearing closed slide), I tried editing the M9 to add this, but ODOL explorer screwed up the model as allways...

Me want proper MLOD...

Dont worry, better late than never....from my experience, the more delayed an OFP addon/mod is, the better!

[Jackal326 1181]

*runs off to incorporate the latest update to JAM in the config.cpp for the weapons pack*

[twisted 128]

hi. i am trying to replace default BIS weapons with your ones.

but i do not know how to access what the weapon optic names are.

would you be able to tell me what they are called so i can put it in a modified ECP config?

thanks

There may be more added to v2.0 for the new weapions, but that wont effect what you want them for anyway until v2.0 is out anyway.

[Shinbusan 0]

Jackal326, are you planning to change m203 optics to make it more useful? I mean moving center point a bit down, so it will not cover a target during aiming.

And thank you for great pack.

[Jackal326 1181]

I am planning to (hopefully, depending on permissions etc) implement either the SFP or similar M203 optic into the pack. I am going to try out a few different ones and see which work the best with my M203 configuration.

thank you. OFP is much better with this weapons pack.

[gatordev 219]

Don't mean for this to be a "what's the status?" post, but.... What's the status? I hope the new machine is helping make a fantastic addon even better.

[Jackal326 1181]

It is indeed. Sorry for not posting much in the way of status updates, but frankly I haven't been working on the pack all that much. I've been side-tracked with other projects (i.e. helping Safetycatch with his US Marines) and a few VBS1 projects. I have however had time to remake the aimpoint model (only a small thing I know, but the visual change is immense).

Check out the screenshots below.
