News from  the "Northern Ireland mod"

[smiley nick 51]

Due to lack of new members (still) the NIMOD decided to post some new WIP shots of SniperUK's Vehicle modeling and texturing skills along with the South Armagh map which is being created by Smiley.

The pictures below show SniperUK's new Humber pig model, which is also textured by him. As you can see the model is of high detail and of high quality.Also the textures present are only temporary ones. The final version/s will have sufficient change.

The South Armagh countryside is one of the most beautiful areas to visit in Northern Ireland. And was also home to a lot of SAS operations. We are fortunate enough to have special permission from Jojimbo to use and show pictures of the Inv44 grass. Thankyou

As SniperUK said, the island will be and is lag free. One of my main concerns is that the map is playable on all PCs. So don't worry about any lag issues.

Thank you for the comments all.

Fantastic screenshots, can`t wait to play on this island.

All looks good.

This coupled with the Irish Defence Forces pack (look it up) should make OFP miles more fun!

The Irish Defence Forces pack, I believe, contains only modern

troops and equipment. The NI mod will include an Irish Army

squad from the early 1980s.

Well that WAS the plan, but Kman had some spare time so...

Early 1990s. The SAS used it up there as well. Considering I'm Irish, I'm very interested in this mod. Keep up the good work guys

BTW, your screenshots of the weapons dont show up on the first page. What do you have? Make sure to have the FNC and G3 for the Provos, and G3KA4 and HK53 for the SAS.

Hi, yes the images where uploaded to a old members photo bucket, who unfortunately left and he deleted the images also. We have a large selection of weapons, created from our previous member "whisky" aka "jimpy". I can get some images for you if you are interested, best bet would be to pop over to our Forums and ask any questions or ask for any pics or info, as we would be happy to show our items

On behalf of the NIMOD we would like to finally show some WIP pictures of our new "Dynamic Weather". Our talented scripter "sentinel" created such a system to enhance the current ofp skys.

Features

1.) Fully Dynamic Random Weather.

2.) Pre-set weather conditions for easy placements.

3.) No need for long or complex Int lines as all weather systems are created via a easy game logic function.

4.) The 4 Seasons variations of weather systems, each creating random weather in that required season period.

5.) Fully tested and working in Multi Player.

6.) Almost Lag Free.

I think it's fair to say it is, yes.

Awesome work on the weather effects. Should look quite amazing with the great looking terrain you lot are making.

[smiley nick 51]

Yes quite right as da12thMonkey pointed out, all weather systems work fully in Multi-player, with synchronized lightning and thunder sounds, so all players can experience the simulation simataniously.The Cloud's may differ in position between client machines, but its nothing major.

We plan to release this as a stand-alone addon, we should have something to release at the end of the week.

We are pleased to publicly show some more WIP work, here you will find the "Land rover APV" (armored patrol vehicle), textured and modeled by are talented vehicle modeler "SniperUk"

The Land Rover APV also knows as the "Piglet" was developed for use in Northern Ireland, giving better protection to the troops travelling in it from bullets and bomb splinters and any other hazards that might of come in their general direction.

It is based on the standard Land Rover chassis of the time (3 series), with additions of 'Macralon Armour', a composite material which provided additional protection for the vehicle and troops inside.

The APV was a common sight in Northern Ireland, due to its more durable protection and speeds. The RUC also adapted the APV for police vehicles, using them to keep control over the streets of Northern Ireland.

This is just a small selection of the land rovers we have in production, and we will be showing more WIP shots soon, but for now, we thought you might all be interested in this unique vehicle.

The textures and model/s are not "final" and are subject to change on the final release of the MOD.

Plans are to also create "damaged" models, and also a "interactive model and damage system" that allows "certain" things to come apart or become destroyed" due to certain events that "should/could" happen during the streets of Northern Ireland.

Many thanks

2.) Have reasonable quality microphone

3.) Must be British or Irish/Northern Irish nationality

4.) Must be willing to be dedicated to finishing the voice overs for the mod.

So if you are reading this, and you fit all the above than please get in contact with either me or any of the mod team members. Once we receive any contact information we will then talk individuality to each person and sort them out with a required list of recordings to record.

Thanks for reading this, and hope to hear from you all soon.

Thankyou
