Well, I'm long over-due for some screenshots, so to start off here is one of the updated M4A1: http://sjb.ofpr.com/dms2/images/SJB_DMS_M4A1_v2.jpg You can clearly see the excellent work Marcinko has done on the new ACOG optic, as well as the newly added 'cheek-piece' which is conveniently applied to the stock with duct tape (a technological advancement courtesy of the IDF ). More screenshots to follow.

Indeed it would, but that is more of a dedicated sniper weapon, the idea of the Designated Marksman System is to create an assault rifle with an increased range i.e. the M4A1 as featured in the pack. So, I doubt it'll feature in the pack, but I may consider it as another project for the near future.

Well, now that my SEALs are on hold indefinately (long story), I've had more time for the DMS Pack v2.0 And in my above post, I said I'd release more information about the new rifles once I got them functioning, and that time is now upon us. The following rifles should be included in v2.0 (bar any unforseen errors or similar): - M16A4 DMS - SR25 MKII - SR25 MKII (Suppressed) - G3-SG1 (similar to a DMS system so I though I'd include it) I was planning on including the MSG90-A1, but changed my mind after the recent release of the SOF-2 Weapons pack (I was planning on using the model from SOFII) and felt it was pointless having 2 weapons exactly the same.

Well, I have some (very) bad news I'm affraid. A friend of mine working on an OFP news site noticed a comment posted about the SJB SEALs on one of the sites news threads. It stated that the new rig and textures were from VBS1, and that it was illegal for me to use them. As it turns out, the textures are from VBS1 (or it seems highly likely they are, I cannot be certain as someone contacted me via e-mail and said they had textures from one of their projects I could use instead of the old textures featured in the Public Beta released a while ago). Until I clear up this mess and sort out the exact facts of both the origin of the texture files, and the legal implications if they are indeed VBS1 textures, the SEALs and associated addons (weapons etc.) are on hold indefinately. I'm sorry for the delay, but at the end of the day, its my butt on the line if the statements made upon the news site are true (and right now that is looking very likely indeed).

OK, I've uploaded a few images of the updated SEALs, and if you look closely you'll see some images of the updates made to some of the weapons. Check out the images here.

No, not this version.

Anyway, v2.0 is going into final testing within the next few hours, which will hopefully pin-point any last-minute bugs before release, so, depending on how many/few bugs are found (hopefully none), expect the new release to be out sometime within the next week/two weeks. I haven't had time to include the machete/knife yet, but as I will be continuing to update this addon in the future adding new features etc. expect it to be a feature of one future version.

After much consideration and discussion with my testers, I've decided NOT to include the SPR in v2.0 of the pack. I'm unhappy with the way it looks and feels in OFP, so have decided to remove it for the time being. However, I have replaced it with several other rifles, which, once I get them fully functional (still a few bugs and glitches), I will post more details about, but for now they remain a secret.

...because Marcinko, the modeller who made me the ACOG I use in the new version, is hopefully going to be providing me with an SPR model sometime in the near future, which I will hopefully include in v2.0 of the pack.

Its funny you should mention that actually...

Well, I've had a bit of extra free time recently, so I decided to finally update the DMS Pack. I've added an M16A4 rifle variation, and have changed the ACOG model that I used and have replaced it with one kindly provided by Marcinko. Screenshots to follow in the next few days.

OK, I'll see what I can do.

That would get the actual attacking part sorted, but then there is the defining of the weapon itself...for a knife weapon to be shown in the guys hand and for the guys to actually carry it, it would either need to be defined as a handgun, or a rifle/at weapon, none of which ar practical. I will gladly model one and place it in a holster on the ankle/hip/where-ever, but making it a weapon seems far to much work, and as Cpt. FrostBite rightly pointed out, it wont be easy.

I'll consider your suggestions Sgt. Stryker, and I'll probably include them when I come around to creating the wound textures. I've just been working on the model, fine-tuning the positioning of various items of kit, and adding the arm-patch system to the new model. I'll post more images in the near future.

OK, I'll work on that ASAP, thanks for the advice Ebud. In other news, I've been working on the SOCOM pistol. The latest screenshot of which can be found HERE

Agreed, I think I'll add a few more creases/wrinkles in the material, especially on the leg textures, and then add some mud splatter to give it a "used" look as opposed to the "fresh from the dry-cleaners" look.

OK, I had 15 minutes to spare, so I knocked up this camo: http://sjb.ofpr.com/tos/units/images/SJB_TOS_PossibleNewCamo_v1.jpg. Let me know what you think, and if you guys like it I'll keep it. If you don't like it, the old BIS camo will be brought back. Note: The textures were made with the help of the BAS Unit SDK.

I'll consider it...I put emphasis on consider as I know how certain people like to turn around and say "But in a forum post you promised you do X, Y and Z"

The only addon that sounds anything like is the SJB Beretta 92F (SJB_92f.pbo). I don't think the SEALs are causing this, I think it is more likely an addon dependancy issue with the Berettas. Other than that I can't see any other cause for the problem.

Here is a picture of the SOCOM as promised. Its not very clear, and the angle isn't too great, but its still a picture http://sjb.ofpr.com/tos/weapons/images/SJB_USSOCOM_beta.jpg

In other, lighter events, I've begun work on the USSOCOM .45 pistol as seen in the movie (silenced and non-silenced). The models are almost done and I should get the config.cpp work done tomorrow so expect a few ingame shots tomorrow/monday.

Thanks to bugkill for the quote he provided on the SJB Forums. In other words..."Why not?" I think that just about answers your (pointless) question...

Check out the two following links for images of the unbloused trouser legs. Give your opinions here as always. Image 1 Image 2 Both units are the new Engineer SEAL added for the fianl release.

OK, due to popular demand, and the on-and-off whining of several people in particular , I've decided to introduce the non-bloused trouser bottoms everyone seems to want. Screenshots will follow in a short while. By the way, the Colt 1911 WWIIEC has is VERY different to the one in the TSEAL Pack in terms of model and texture detail. The one in the SEAL has much more detail in both the model and textures.

I can also recommend a tool called PowerArchiver (grab it from www.downloads.com)
