ColonelSandersLite will be working with us providing you guys a replacement pack (optional). Ty Colonel wink_o.gif

CameronMcDonald finished his normal maps on the soldiers, in my opinion they are a state of art I will wait for him to post some pictures, it's his work. wink_o.gif

On a side note, a replacement pack needs an AK-74 I suppose, well and why not an AKMS too whistle.gif

Nah mate, you can take far better screenies than I. Please, go ahead, I'm too busy merging textures anyhoo. Great job on the '74 and AKMS. Reckon you could give the AKM a banana mag too?

Nice stuff, Pedro!

It's not visible in this pictures, but, I used a different tone for the specular map texture and it looks extremely good in game.

and a super beta 1p29, not even correctely applied on the model, originally from Suchey (Shadow you are supposed to be doing this mate) wink_o.gif

Gentlmen,

Great work. I truly appreciate what you are doing for the OFP community. However, I do have a small criticism. Please note that all of the AKM/AKMSs (except for the earliest models) have a slant muzzle break in order counter the climb in automatic fire.

This is the most visually distinguishable difference between the AK and AKM

Peace,

Yes I know, the problem is that in like 90% of the pictures I have available in fact the muzzle is the one I made. Try making a search on google for AKM or AKMS and you will see what I mean.

But I can change this easily, can anyone confirm this?

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. I was quite surprised as well when I saw it on google. However, I can also tell you that 90% of the Soviet/Warsaw Pact pictures from the 60s and 70s show the AKMs with the slant muzzle compensator....

The compensator is removable, so perhaps the google pictures show the rifles that have had it removed?

Anyways, maybe both versions could be included in your pack?

Peace,

DreDay

I always liked the 1P29.  These source images came directly from NPZ Optics when I emailed them asking for reference.

Feel free to re-use what you can and want from the MAP 1P29. I don't think the model is worth much now but the optic should still be useable.

ty Earl, your Marine Assault Pack is still a reference to me, I think it is to us all smile_o.gif

btw, tell us your back? We certainly miss you mate, do you remember the first weapon you made for OFP some years ago?

I think it was some kind of an M4 that used AK mags I remember I made you the config by your request biggrin_o.gif.

You know we even made a double mag rpk-74 inspired on your pack? Here's the picture wink_o.gif

And this is the GR picture we learned to love, I think you may be familiarized with it wink_o.gif

Wow...glad to see Earl is still coming by here.  I remember Earl's GR mods, they were the best IMHO.    notworthy.gif

I still remember the M40A3 sniper rifle Earl made but never released.  I always loved that rifle Earl...do you still have it laying around somewhere (I know it wasn't finished)?

Skaven...that was Knight's Armaments Sr-47, if I remember correctly.

Thanks guys, SR-47 is right.  Those were the good old days.  I probably have everything backed up somewhere but haven't looked at any of it for years.  I finally learned to do config files myself too :-P

I'm always around but rarely get time for personal addons anymore.  There are a few things on the backburner that I would love to return to when time allows, however.  But we shouldn't derail the VDV and Naval Infantry thread too much.  Keep up the nice work!

Yes in black it looks a lot better (trust me I tried it), the problem is that they don't use black tapes confused_o.gif

I think the random looking blue tape is cool, makes it look much more authentic! These are killing devices machines, colour scheme isn't always top priority. pistols.gif

Can't wait for these.

I think 18 weapons isn't bad for Version 1 and it will certainly balance the game for the East Side biggrin_o.gif

Looks good. Why not change the RPK's magazine to a drum one?They look much better.

Honestly? It's a little bit the same with the black tape instead of the blue one, in reality and in like 400 pictures I have in my computer the Russian Army uses this magazines a lot more. confused_o.gif

But again I'm open to suggestions and specially to learn from you guys, can anyone state for sure that they do use the drum regulary?

I really like the AK-74M's with the blue tape, makes them look distinct IMHO...... Over all I'm impressed with all that has been shown so far.... smile_o.gif
