M14 EBR

[Stewy 1]

That'd be cool Yoassarian, a Beta would be awesome

[Zadoff1880 0]

I don't know about the rest of you people but I think it's a great idea that you intend to use m14 mags from the RACS weapon mod by Scaven and freinds... I don't know anyone who does not have this pack already, and the m14 there is simply great - ballistic values, sounds etc.

So plz, do use it, if possible.

I know we all want everything NOW, but if I were you, I wouldn't reliz an early beta - players usually react to such things a bit... well, u know - "This version is full of bugs!!!" etc. So let's just wait untill is DONE

[Blackbuck 9]

As for magazines why not have it compatible with more than one?

[Maddmatt 1]

Talk to 6th Sense, please, because that would be awesome! Would be really nice to start getting stuff like that standardized so that ACOGs could be used in CQB too, so please.. take a step into the future of ArmA before the rest of us!

Bad idea IMO. There is a pretty major bug where both 'sight modes' can have a seperate magazine loaded. You can see for yourself by trying out the 6thsense weapon pack. Until that bug gets fixed I think it's not worth it.

Would really be great if BIS fixed it.

Ok guys, I'll release a preview in this thread sometime tomorrow hopefully. It's all ready to go, just needs uploading.

NOTE: the sound I'm using is from an old Ghost Recon mod. The author (Thumper1518) hasn't got back to me so I'm assuming he's not around the community anymore. For this reason, I am going to go ahead and use his m14 sound giving due credit the the ReadMe.

Other than that, just remember it's my first gun for ArmA.

Hi, for a Beta release... i'll vote for the iron sighted version, so we

could try it and look how it works, try to spot bugs or weird things,

incompativilities with other addons or mods or whatever; about the

scoped version... i think that i'll use a "classic" 2D sight M24/M110

style. But i'll be awaiting for the Beta, i want to try this damn good

EBR. Let's C ya

M14 EBR - PREVIEW

4 Oct, '07

Model/Textures/config: Yossarian (JTF-2)

Importing/config: RobertHammer

Sound: Thumper1518

Required mod: Skaven's Racs (for the m14 mags)

------------------------------

This is a preview and is NOT the final version. Only 1 gun is included (iron sights only). There's an Ammo Box under EMPTY/AMMO/M14 EBR crate.

Comment and crit are always welcome. The model won't change that much other than adding kit, but the texure is not final.

Thanks again to all those who helped.

It's Just a Preview, but you can get it Here

[Zadoff1880 0]

Many, many thanks for the beta!

Now it's time for more optics/longer barrel/silencer?

[Yossarian 0]

you got it

but first it's essays!

?? Try it out guys, what do you think the texture needs?

[Stewy 1]

It's a great rifle mate - I love it!

After 5+ hrs non-stop EBR testing... well, it's a great rifle!

And an excellent addition to the arsenal of da West!

I don't think I have spotted anything that I would consider a "bug"... the model is A+, textures are OK, the weapon is animated, the size of the weapon is just right, no muzzle flash so far, but I don't care much for such things. So... it's one of those must-have addons, in my opinion.

Good luck with those essays!

Anything on Moby-Dick?

Thanks very much for the feedback. I'm glad you like it. I'm not really sure how I can make the texture better, it was rushed a bit so i guess just taking a second pass at it would help. thanks

Lol, nothing on Moby Dick, but since you asked

-What made Eisenhower lie during the U-2 Crisis of 1960

-Orwell's Homage to Catalonia

-Detailed analysis of conditions in East Germany reguarding the effects of the Berlin Wall

Not all in one paper, though

as for updates, as of a few days ago, the scope model was finalized. Now to the unwraping.

[kasrkin85th 1]

what attachments you do....for that m14 ebr?

[Zadoff1880 0]

-Detailed analysis of conditions in East Germany reguarding the effects of the Berlin Wall

Well, they all want to return back to Soviet Socialism, that's all I know

Zadoff: What are/did you study? That paper is actually going to be narrowed down to East Berlin, not East Germany. In Berlin when the wall was going up, many people were suffering. The top 10% of skilled Berliners fled to the W.side before the wall went up. Conditions were very hard, especially when compared to W.Berlin. It was like living in the projects but having Hollywood as your neighbours. Almost. Anyway, I like history.

Karskin: If you read the topic, you'd get some idea. But since I'm a nice guy I'll say it again:

-silencer

-long barrel

-sniper scope

-S&B Short-Dot

-Ecotec (maybe)

-bipod (maybe)

-AN-PEQ (maybe)

[kasrkin85th 1]

@Yossarian: oh sry dude.

eotec sounds good for me but a ACOG would be nice, too

when you need help with the gun sound....i see what i can do.

[VIPER SHIVA 0]

I was thinking ACOG as well. Also, I have seen pics of the Troy SOPMOD M14 with an M203 attached. I don't know if that is possible with the EBR, though I suspect it probably is possible if such a configuration was needed.

An EBR with ACOG, suppressor, and an M203/EGLM would be a very sexy, exotic, and effective replacement weapon for the SF assault class.

[Zadoff1880 0]

I don't know anything about that S&B Short-Dot scope.

Is that a good thing? Need to do a little research...

[Yossarian 0]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking probably no ACOG. It's a pain to model/texture. Also, I want to try something new.

Kasrkin: Thanks for the offer! If I need some sound editing, I'll let you know. Try out the preview and see what ya think.

About the short-dot: It's mighty expensive, but well worth it (apparently) Here is the product page And here is a review/info about the scope In .PDF form

[Blackbuck 9]

Why not make something like an EOtech with it's relative 3.0x magnifier? As for the ShortDot all S&B stuff is optic porn

That might be an option. But I'm getting ahead of myself a bit here. Right now I'm swamped with RL work. How about I start with one scope

The SD is actually a pretty big scope. Looks mean on the EBR.

[Blackbuck 9]

ar15.com have a whole thread dedicated to the short dot. Here

[Yossarian 0]

A question: When I'm making an aimpoint style scope, do I need to include a plane for the reticule texture in the model? Is the proper way to do it just with alpha chanels in the texture?

Here's an update. I think this will be the final model for the ShortDot.

I did have to fudge the scale of the front part of the scope so there was plenty of viewable area through the scope. But would you even have noticed if I didn't tell you?

please C&C. once I start unwrapping, there is no going back! Dun, dun, DUHHHH.

[Blackbuck 9]

Personally I like these sort of mounts but they would make it more of a scout configuration having the optic mounted so far foward.

[Yossarian 0]

ya. I had a lot of trouble getting position right. All the pictures I've seen of m14-type rifles with scope similar to this one have been mounted roughly in this position. But I've got no idea where it's supposed to be. You think it should be farther up?

full disclosure: I've actually been working off some references from the MGS4 trailers

In that m4, notice how the back end of the scope is right around were the back irons are. It's about the same with the EBR too.

It's personal preference I guess. If anybody has any shots of an EBR with short-dot on it for reference I'd really, really appreciate it.
