This is a great idea. It could fit together with a modern afghanistan mod. Act I & Act II sort of thing. Best of luck!

Buildings! Shitloads of High performance buildings! I can make some buildings in 3ds Max. Low-poly as possible and fully UWVunwrapped. Enterable? Let's say not for the first one. My texturing isn't that great, but if you guys have someone good on the team then it's not a problem. My term papers are due this week and next, then christmas. But I'll try and help you guys out.

Wow! this mod is look great guys. Between IMWM and the bhd mod, things are looking good. What models do you need? props and weapons?

Kenwort & Co: You guys seem like you're pretty serious about this, those last screens show amazing progress. I've never offered my help on other projects before, but yours looks really nice. So, if you'd like, I'd be willing to help you guys out -- at least as much as I can. -models and unwrapping (see my M14 EBR mod) -textures, but I'm not great -new standalone skins (my ODA mod) I'm still pretty new at ArmA, and my time is limited by RL work. Let me know.

If anyone needs any help on this mod, then PM me. I am a serving SF member - no shit, I am in the gaming community and the guys at BIA such as Gordon and Pete know me. I am the Operator that introduced VBS to the Special Warfare Center here at Ft Bragg, NC which was subsequently purchased for training. BIA came to Ft Bragg and I acquainted them with our community. I have 20 years in this line of work and would like to see these mods handled correctly. Hi Hatchet, I know who you are. Thanks for the offer. (I'm JTF-2 at the gr.net forums. You gave me a bunch of m24 sniper rifle references pictures a while back as well as some info here and there.) Your support is immensely appreciated. You should try out ODA v1.0. No shortage of good people around here.

! crazy. Never seen that before. So you got that by putting down an m14 and then picking it up again? RobertHammer is the one who did the config for the mags. I've got no idea what the problem could be. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for the report. I'll see what I can do

Thanks guys. Glad you appreciate the hard work. @Deicide: I actually used your old photo album, the one that was closed down, when I was making the EBR. I think Snowfella gave me the links. The new album is even better though, can see all the pics at once! Great stuff man. You deserve a lot of credit, I couldn't have made this without your references. A Leupold version will be coming from RobertHammer. Since he exported them, he gets an exclusive weapon for his mod. @Miles-Paolo: I think you're right, the gun could be a little less accurate at ~500, but I've heard it's near perfect out to ~425. I tried to make the short dot reticle bigger, but because it is actually a texture on a 3d model (one of BISs originals), the texture is limited by the size of the model. In this case, the square where the texture goes it very small. I'm already trying to make a complete new model, just for the Short-Dot view. @Scubaman: I hear ya brother. Bit by bit though, good mods will be done!

lmao! that ain't me. I'm the 20 year old guy from Toronto, CA.... thanks wika_woo. First thing's first, I'll soon release a version with the slightly updated config - no more sparkling and bad lighting! (now just bad textures). Then, I don't know what's next. another gun? a camera? new character? helo? airplane? I've got tons of ideas, just no time.

JTF-2 never released any of my stuff for gr though. Been at the gr.net forums long enough though... Dude you should, its gotten really quiet there all of a sudden.. My alias name there is "squad_e" . I'd sure like to see you make some stuff for GR or GRAW 2. ahhh, I knew I recognized the sig. good to see gr.net people here. I'm still learning. I've got a long way to go before my stuff will look good in GRAW2... MOD UPDATES: finally managed to fix sparkling texture/bad lighting problem. (Thanks to LinkerSplits tutorial and some mucking around) I just changed some specular values in cfgMaterials. FINALLY!!

@popcorn: I've got a widescreen too, and I don't know how to fix it. I know it's annoying. Anybody know how to get rid of the black-lines which block screen edges? @mant3z: I think you mean that the scope isn't 3d right? it's just an image? Yes, that is a problem. @Kasrkin85th: cool sound. Sounds like a canon! @all: anybody have a better solution for the Short-Dot scope? the length of it means that in 3d view, the view through it is to small. Any way around this?

Well, thanks guys. All the appreciation makes a difference. Here's what I'm trying to fix: -sparkling textures, edges mostly. Don't know what's doing that -lighting not good. would an RVMAT solve this??? Also, if anybody would like to do some textures for these, that would be amazing!! AimPoint, you're stuff is awesome, if you've got time you could give 'em some desert camo.

Thanks for all the mirrors. I updated the first post. I'll fix that texture problem. THanks!

hopefully we'll have new mirrors soon. I've informed Armaholic and ArmedAssault.info of the release. Just give them a bit of time to get mirrors up

my bad, it's 101kb. (92kb)

First, big thank-you to RobertHammer who put the gun in-game. M14 EBR: coming Soon (...hopefully) It's my first model for ArmA. I'm still learning. Right now it's just a texture and a model, no fancy normal/spec maps. Silencer, sniper scope, and Short-Dot scope are planned. Poly count right now is 4181 (so don't give a squad of 20 guys the EBR or you can kiss your framerates goodby) Sorry, that's how it is. And unless I find someone to do my schoolwork for me, there aren't going to be any LODs.

v1.0 has been released!!! check Addons Completed thread for details and link.

Amazing, Amazing work. Thank you JB. I will try this for my new models. tutorials like these made the community better. Amazing.

ok guys. will do. I'll release it hopefully tomorrow. I've just gotta pack it all together and stick in a nice README. This ok with you RH?

I guess it's pretty much ready to be released. I've just been waiting because I'm not all that happy with it. The textures/normals/specs aren't that great. Just doesn't look as nice as I imagined it. Maybe I need to figure out how to do RVMATs...

awesome! great stuff. This is exactly what I've been looking for. With a bit of practice it even looks like I will be able to use it!! sweet. Thanks

Hopefully this weekend. But only if I can be sure I won't be getting in any serious ####.

Thanks sv5000

After a bit of messing around, I got this. I know it has probably been done before. I made a new version of the m24 in AimPoints' DesWeapons addon and a new magazine type. The m24 takes the secondary weapon slot, while the m4 takes the primary. Disadvantage is that you now can't take a pistol also. As far as I can see, it's works perfectly. Only problem is that it is in the wrong position. So is there any way to bring the position of the model down a bit from the config?

I'm trying to make it possible to carry a sniper rifle as a secondary weapon (in the pistol slot). Not only would it be fun, but I have heard that operators do sometimes carry a long gun as a secondary. Anyway, is it even possible? How would you do it? I've looked in a bunch of configs in the weapons3.pbo and haven't really found anything useful. I thought it would be pretty straightforward - but then it wasn't. I tried searching, but I didn't find anything. Thanks for any help
