S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Weapons in Arma

[BadBenson 0]

hey guys,

seeing someone porting an APC from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to Arma i had the idea to use the excellent weapon models too.

although i got 2 of them roughly ingame yet this is more of a request. cuz i'm busy with my map and very unexperienced with configs and setting up weapons in O2 i thought i'd just bring up the idea and make the first step.

so anyone experienced with getting weapons ingame pls PM me.

of course i'm gonna finish it with or without help. but as i said i'm busy so it could take a long time. and i'm sure since these models are already covered with nice textures it shouldn't take to long for sumone experienced to set them up.

I have nothing to contribute on the addon guru front, but be sure to check the scale on those things before your release!

It's your models or converted form game?

becuse you make optics on other side ( like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R )

[BadBenson 0]

of course! as i said this is just a sloppy ingame job. yeah and since those models and textures are just lovely it would be a shame to release them with a noob-ass-config. those need a realistic recoil and good sounds to fit the quality of the models.

edit: as my first post says the idea is to PORT stalker-models to arma.

these are the original stalker weapons. nothing change except a dirty PS-NVidia-NormalMap. i personally wouldn't change anything. it depends more on how u put them ingame.

Haven't those "VSS Vintorez" things already been released

as addons (by "RobertHammer"? or is it "Vilas"?) in much

better quality?

[NoRailgunner 0]

Yep and another VSS is in RHS weapon pack too.

[BadBenson 0]

it's not all about those 2 guns. this is just to show that they look good ingame. the optics is probably on the wrong side cuz i imported and exported it twice. seems like it has been mirrored.

once again. the plan is not to release specific weapons that noone did before.

i just wanna port all the stalker weapons to arma and release them as a pack. i know the textures aren't very hi-res but i really like how they're done. they look old and used.

so pls no complaining about details of the guns. i'm just gonna scale them and port them over.

here's the list of stalker

shotguns

and so on...

VSS is not in RH pack afaik, but is in the RHS one not sure about Vilas' stuff though.

Most of the stuff linked to has been produced and imho far better quality but I see no reason why you shouldn't give it a shot, I can think of a few people who'd like a decent RG-6 and Shotgun in game

PS: That Toz 34 looks particularly nice (Just need to find the time to make my 194 look half as good :P)

hey guys...some more pics of the weapons. i actually converted the wrong lod of the gun in the first screen i posted. now i have it with more polies and a larger texture which is because these now are the 1st-person lods from stalker not the 3rd-person lods like before. but just look for yourselves.

i know those textures still aren't of the highest resolution but i just like their style. the weapons really look as if they've been actually used.

also if there's someone who knows how to get good normalmap out of a bumpmap pls pm me. would be a shame to not use the existing ones from stalker.

btw.: thx to the upgrade system of stalker it's possible to make different versions of each gun. for example with silencer or grenade launcher. or different scopes. all fits perfect aleady

VSS is not in RH pack afaik, but is in the RHS one not sure about Vilas' stuff though.

We converted ours from CS:S though, and modify it a bit.

Vilas made a brand new very good looking one not long ago.

Intresting how nice these Stalker weaps look in ArmA, didnt expect that.

Too bad they mirrored the weaps for more action lok ( so you see the bullets coem out and such ).

Plus lots of mistakes liek the completely wrong sigt on the AN-94.

Google "Asterix diopter" for more info.

yes, Stalker weapons are not accurate in look to real one

if you wanna keep realism, than importing those weapons - you downgrade a game

if you wanna have "Stalker look" than okay

but remember that other games have wrong weapons models, cause other games are not aiming in realism

LOL I think that Vilas is trying to talk you out of it!

[vilas 477]

Stalker weapons are not realistic in look

people who use PC-games as "resource" make big mistake

Stalker has wrong weapons models, specially AK74, AN94, i remember screens from Stalker showing "AK47" which looked like ... i don't know how to call this:

http://overclocks.za.pl/stalker4.jpg

is this AK ?

and SVU with sight mount on the same side as bolt :[

PC-game is not good source for using it as knowledge base

Uh... Vilas... he's not using it as a resource...mkay. He's using it as a free and legal source of art assets...mkay. Kthnx.

I think Q was being sarcastic

Especially as hes from ACE mod

[.kju 3245]

Most customers of ArmA2 will care about a good overall package

instead of perfect realism.

Even more most customers will not even not what perfect realism is.

This debate is a pure waste of time IMHO.

Sad is to have such a tunnel vision.

This guy said he wants STALKER weapons, not realism weapons!!! everyone get over it

[BadBenson 0]

again...this is not about realism in terms of perfect reproduction of real weapons.

i just like the looks of the models. stalker for me was a big disappointment but i always liked its realistic ( ) textures and models (except the characters).

i don't wanna compete with any of u guys who already made these weapons. i also don't wanna degrade arma or something. i just made this public because i need help to make these feel as real (not accurate) as they look + i thought there might me always a demand for good looking weapons.

Forget what Vilas said about it and do the work you want to do. Maybe doing this thing will get you inspired to do something else that's cool, and you will be one of the addon leaders in a year's time... or maybe this is the only thing you do and maybe a small number of people have a good time playing around with your addon... It has nothing to do with contributing or degrading some abstract body of work that has to do with the community or the videogame. It has mostly to do with what you want to do, and a little bit to do with what people who agree with you want to do... and it most certainly has nothing to do with the haters like Vilas.

[BadBenson 0]

yeah sure...just wanted to make that clear.

the main work of getting the stuff ingame won't be mine anyways. i just provide the models as p3ds.

my main project is still the afghanistan map which is coming along pretty nice at the moe.

i'd never have started a whole new weapon project cuz i simply don't have the time.

just put this in the same category like col. well's alien stuff if u feel better then. i personally don't care if everything is perfectly accurate.

Vilas have right ( only with one thing ), ArmA is better with more realistic recoils, weapons, vehicles.

[nephilim 0]

importing stuff from others games is pretty lame imho...

and they arent even well imported...
