h - 169 Posted September 17, 2005 It has been a while since our last news.... And hence a new topic (the other topic around here contains wrong information and was started by a mod member no longer in our roster).. We are still alive and kicking, and have made leaps of progress. In case anyone even remembers us Our website is also updated but still under construction at some parts. The website can be found here. Here're a few screenshots by Slippe showing Finnish soldiers (by Von Rundstedt) and Vickers-Armstrong 6-ton tank (by Hara Kiri) on a custom island (by Instructor). You can see some older russian infantry models lurking in the background, but don't worry, those models are already abandoned and new ones are almost ready More screens will follow... (click to enlarge) We are also still recruiting, there's never enough staff ... So we are in need of modellers, texturers, animators and scripters (especially ones very familiar with quite complex MP scripting). If you find your skills listed above feel free to contact our staff either by PMing at our forums, via e-mail or on IRC (#FWW2 @quakenet, ask any FWW2 staff member).

Sepe 1 Posted September 17, 2005 Nice to see some pics, especially after FDF WWII was cancelled. But hey, Liberation has great russian weapons (and for example DP-27 could be used for finnish troops too), so maybe you shouldn't reinvent the wheel but ask 'em for permission to use theirs. And baynets... Ol' good bayonets! Hakkaa päälle pohjan poika! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txalin 2 Posted September 17, 2005 mmmm, and have u try to contact to fdf, maybe with your help they can finish their expansion of ww2....just and idea btw, nice screenshots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some seem to have some odd conditions for permissions, can't remember whether LIB had any though so won't be blaming them for that ... But, we have our own already made, so..

Sepe 1 Posted September 17, 2005 How about an Antti Rokka unit with damn high armor, auto-phrases and a low-dispersion Suomi SMG? No, I ain't drunk. Really! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OFPCAT 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Happy to see you team still alive. Those pics seem nice and my winter russians now have awesome enemy. Keep up your works, guys! FDF Mod is really fantastic. I like your maps very much. Actually, I play almost all russian actions on your eastern boarder, malevic and FDF maps. Because your eastern maps are with very real russian characters.

wildo 0 Posted September 19, 2005 wong mod OFPCAT Hater_Kint you can see my team message on the internal forum but other than that, it all looks superb especially since i last checked on the mod Wildo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h - 169 Posted September 19, 2005 There could be worse things than to be mistaken as FDF Mod Quote[/b] ]Hater_Kint you can see my team message on the internal forum Nice to have you around again Quote[/b] ]it all looks superb especially since i last checked on the mod Quite... It's a shame that due to a texture bug we didn't get the chance to show our russian soldiers at all yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBR_ONIX 0 Posted September 19, 2005 I agree (in a way) with OFPCAT.. When I first saw this thread, I thought it was the FDF team.. The colouring on the screenies (The logo/writing, dark and blue), and the title, and what the mod was about... Very similar... Anyway, good luck with your mod.. It'd be great if you could complete the FDF ww2 expansion (Using the stuff you've made so far), but I guess that wont happen - Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STiT 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Of course we remember you, and personally I respect your team and your fantastic job! Can't wait for the release! (but I'm sure everybody will say that, I may sound...uhm...repetitive. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallex 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Okay i say this one more time: We are not finishing FDF WW2 expansion. We have worked since August 2004, before FDF officialy told that they're working on WW2 expansion (okay we guessed this little before they officially announced it) but still... And we are not co-operating with FDF mod cause FDF don't want help us, they won't share any stuff with us. So you can forget that "ask FDF can you finish their work" -questions. That's not gonna happen cause they don't want to co-operate. And that's it. And back to topic, we will SOON release pictures of our winter russians and maybe more of winter island. We have quite many members who have bad situations in IRL (fe. Leader Von Rundstedt is in army) or members are otherwise inactive. So we need all kind of members, we need ACTIVE members. You can contact to HateR Kint (who's leader while Von Rundstedt is in army) or me (cause i'm missions team leader). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least by us Finns I think we tried several different colors but somehow blue just seemed natural... In other parts, like the GUI etc there's nothing FDF moddy anywhere though...

belgerot 33 Posted September 20, 2005 I am very glad to see this mod still active. I was beginning to worry after not hearing for a while, though I am relieved to see these beautiful screenshots. Any chance you might be able to use some of FDF's work from their halted WWII mod? Regardless, still very glad to see you guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ares1978 0 Posted September 21, 2005 And we are not co-operating with FDF mod cause FDF don't want help us, they won't share any stuff with us. Which is not at all surprising, they obviously want to finish their mod themselves. In their situation, I wouldn't share either, especially not with an unproven mod team such as us.

h - 169 Posted February 24, 2006 We are looking for people to help us to finish the FWW2 mod. Due to various reasons (which I'm sure won't interest you much) our lines have fallen extremely thin, the worst gaps to fill are: - Modellers/texture artists (these are what we need the most) - Sound manager - Mission makers - Voice actors (Finnish/Russian speaking) So, if you feel like you can contribute, please contact us. We are not necessarily looking for a 'permanent' members, freelancing is more than accepted. The only thing we require is a measure of dedication for the mod and adequate english skills, not to mention honesty so we won't need to chase you down the byte lane for stolen goods... Modellers and texture artist don't need to be the absolute mastahs of their trade but not complete beginners either.. If you find yourself interested in helping us (which we hope you will) please contact us. We need you. Contacts: Our website Our Forums Register at our forums and PM or e-mail one of us mentioned below.. HateR_Kint Co-Leader (currently in charge) Kallex/Slippe Mission Team Leader e-mail/MSN: kallex1@gmail.com Some screens: More screens can be seen in the interview conducted last year (contains a bit old info; FDF did release their WW2 pack after all ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianTerror 0 Posted February 24, 2006 is it a TC by itself or would I be able to add this into the FDF mod as extra troops/vehicles? That would be more useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h - 169 Posted February 25, 2006 This will be a TC.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianTerror 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Common sense tells me that a game doesnt need 2 ww2 Finnish TC's. A ww2 Finnish mod that can be added to an already exisiting ww2 Finnish TC...now thats a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
