UCS_Mercenaries 0.9 Release

[Jackal326 1179]

I imagine (this is just supposition here so may be incorrect), that HelpingHand simply removed the OSOBNOST selection from the models, which simply makes it so the faces don't randomly change. The downside of this is of course the faces are stuck to being one face texture, however with the units trying to be "unique" (in the sense you're only likely to use one of each in a mission anyway) its less of a problem.

correct jackal

ok thanks guys, my bug is fixed

[Blackbuck 9]

np, tomi has informed me that he has fixed some LOD issues we had and deleted up 500 faces of useless stuff on the models

regards H_H

[Blackbuck 9]

Well I think that we are overdue for a status report not just little bits of what we're working on...

The following collage of images shows some of the custom content to be added to UCS Module 1, there will be grenades + explosives, customised weapons for several of the "misc" catergory mercenaries, ammunition / weapon crates for the custom content we make too.

*note that the pic is a 453kb image and is quite big in pixels too*

I like your Mercs, but would like to have the option to choose to use or not use your weapons. Will the weapon pack be seperate? It kind of looks that way, but it's hard to tell.

[Deathstruck 375]

do you have animator?

[rellikki 7]

do you have animator?

Yes, we do

[Deathstruck 375]

do you have animator?

Yes, we do

is that you??

[Blackbuck 9]

yup SRK is the animator and i'm a modeller, but we need a texture artist

[Blackbuck 9]

Good news everyone we have a new member to the team, Myst9999 is helping us with some textures for some stuff, we still ne a weapon texturer if anyone can help us...

news wise, we now have the gear tables pretty much sorted model wise, myst has made some textures for the ammo cans etc, table textures should be a 10 min job, the tables will use some scripts hopefully if we can make them nice and we easy runners that is.

*edit*

I like you work guys. I might be running ahead too much here, but when you get done with this, any other plans? I ask because soon we are in the dire need of good navy personel. Gnat has been working on OFP Navy like a japanese beaver, but there are no decent navy crew out there. Perhaps you could help out the community?

[Blackbuck 9]

Navy personell... i could see what me and SRK have to do in the way of school and college etc once we do module one, no promises though

regards H_H

[Blackbuck 9]

New Stuff For September :w00t:

*I can do the tents if I get time , the mercenaries for 1.0 are nearly done we just need to do a few tweaks here and there and add one or two other things but apart from that we are nearly done expect the file size to be around 20MB including UCS_Mercs.pbo and UCS_Weapons.pbo plus a couple of backgrounds for you PC at 1280x1024 resolution.

*There will be some other content as well hopefully, such as the gear tables and other things like tents, revetments etc.

*Regarding credits I’d like to ask mapfact for permission of the use of their sandbags and a few little boxes etc to put in tents etc. so there may be some nice looking stuff in the pack compared to ours

*Vehicle wise I think that there will be a reskinned sigma pickup pending credits and some sort of helicopter, the ones for this release will only be reskinned existing models whereas for version 2.0 there should be some home grown models like some jeeps and buggies etc.

*note*

Being at college ATM I can’t upload any pics of the updated guys but I will get some once I get home around 5:10PM (Local UK time)

[Texas-Ranger 0]

So how do this addons contribute to Resident evil ?? theyre nice by the way , you should texture them with the actual uniforn in the game , good conbination for HP3....anyways great job guys

[Blackbuck 9]

thanks for the feedback

their not based on the game guys   they are loosly based from the film, and only the ones with a "U" prefix, the rest are just mercenaries to play with

[Jackal326 1179]

Isn't the "Minimi" supposed to have a tube stock (not the collapsable stock, but a tubular stock)? I may be wrong, it has been known on rare occasions

[Blackbuck 9]

Quote[/b] ]The new MINIMI has been specifically designed to fit the market requirements

for a 7.62mm light machine gun which are to give the soldier "the power of 7.62 ammunition in the weight of a 5.56 machine gun" whilst offering similar ergonomics and having many parts in common with the internationally known 5.56 MINIMI. Whoever is familiar with the 5.56 MINIMI will be able to use the 7.62 MINIMI with no extra training.

Quote[/b] ]HH Weapons Readme:

This pack is mainly reskinned and edited SJB stuff, the SR25's scope was scratch built as was the barrel.

The weapons contained in this pack, are going to at a later stage be fully implemented into the UCS module, at the moment they are just stand alone weapons...

_

Classnames

CQBR: HH_CQBR JAM_W556_30mag, JAM_W556_30HDmag, M4, SJB_TOS_M4_mag

M4: HH_DM4 JAM_W68_25samag

SR25: HH_SR25c HH_SR25cmag

Minimi HH_M249 HH_m249mag

_

the weapons are all JAM3 coded, so that should please people, they are also completly self suffcient apart from JAM.

CQBR

The CQBR in the pack uses an EOtech 552 for its optic and is around 3000 or so polys.

M4

The M4 in the pack uses a SpecterDR for its optic and is again around 3000 or so polys

SR25

The SR 25 uses a leupold scope with an accurate portrayl of the SPR reticle in its non illuminated form, it is a real weapon not just something i made up too

Minimi

The Minimi i have made is a new version of it that is coming into production chambered for 7.62x51mm it uses the specterDR
