M25 Sniper Rifle

...some normal maps would be cool too

Normal maps would require a lot more new modelling work

though, wouldn't they? (I'm having trouble getting my head

around that concept at the moment - regarding what

benefit it imparts to a model apart from surface details).

Well, it would require LESS modelling work, provided they were done right. First though it would be far easier if the model used one or two textures, not 25 small textures.

The benefits imparted would be being able to model less detail which can be simulated by the normal maps (texture of the grip, scuffs and scrapes in the camo paint-work etc.). If its done right, it looks good and is worth the effort.

It's not that big of a disadvantage having that many textures though is it?

[Jackal326 1181]

It can be. More textures = more load on the memory, or at least thats how I understand it. One large texture at 1024x1024 is better (i.e. less opf a burden on resources) than 4 textures at 512x512. I'm basing this on what I've read on these forums, not on any investigation I've done myself, however I consider it very reliable.

What Addon PAcks were you using for the mens' uniforms in the new photos?

The Marpats are johnny's marines:

The other camo from the older screens were from the Danish Mod.

Omy Gaddd!!!

I love this thing dude!

this was the best idea in the world!!!

OMG!!

YES! I LUV U STOCK!!

Sure looks good, but you should seriously consider making this a good addon instead of a good looking addon. Normalmaps and 1 or 2 textures as Jackal326 said.

One addon doesnt affect performance so much but if more "bad" addons (regarding performance) are used they can make a considerable hit on a system.

I'm done with this rifle, maybe some time later i'll look into normal maps. Someone that knows how to do normal maps can do it.

Stock, I recommend that you put links of updates for your rifles on a edited version of your first post on this thread. Otherwise your updates will get lost in all the pages of this thread and many people will miss the download links. For that reason its usually standard to update the first post of a thread with any new links.

Just a tip.

Keep up the great work...oh and also I hope you make a US Army version as well (without MARPAT).

As in U.S. Army you mean an ACU version?

I have done an extensive range report on this gun and have found these trajectory's to be VERY accurate... use them as a reference guide when shooting the gun

here is the ranges and where they place on the scope...

also... if you are using gmJamez's click adjustment addon use these for the longer ranges up to 1,000 m (to get them so you just need to aim dead center to hit the desired range). All clicks are up (+)

7  clicks to 300 m

14 clicks to 400 m

20 Clicks To 500 m

27 clicks to 600 m

35 clicks to 700 m

44 clicks to 800 m

54 clicks to 900 m

63 clicks to 1,000 m

Hope this gets everyone 1 shot 1 kills

You should make this rifle compatable with 30rnd Stanag SD, because without the SD rounds, the rifle is still heard by the AI

First, thanks for this nice addon.

I tested the M25 on my shooting range and i found out that a popup target doesnt fall back on a hit if it is over 800m away. Is this intended?

I know it's been mentioned before about the ammo loadout.  The M-25/M-14 uses 7.62 nato rnds not 5.56 nato rnds.

P.S.- Also...didn't mean to piss anybody off, I know alot of us are pretty knowledgeable about weapons and such.

Just use either WinZIP or WinRAR to unpack the file, and put the *.PBO file(s) into your 'C:\Program Files\ArmA\Addons' folder.
