Me and some friends are working on a SWAT mod, like rainbow six.
We've set up the mod but still need one SWAT playermodel for MP, and a Terrorist playermodel for MP..
And for SP, we need just the same things, but not for player.
Weapons? Well, right now I'm trying to make the SDK weapons work (MP5 and shotgun)
So, that's not really a big problem, I'll work that out.

But, the rainbow six models will overwrite the old citizen models!
So the SWAT models needs all of the animations as the npc_citizen got.

And for the terrorists, will overwrite the combine model (needs same animation names)

The combine sounds will be renamed and edited and will overwrite the citizen sounds, and the citizen sounds will overwrite the combine sounds..
I'll take care of that...

About the mod, anyway:
Not much new C++ coding, we'll just overwrite stuff with new stuff.
The trick with hostage situations will be easy made in hammer, with an ai relationship targeted to all of the npc_combine, with the subjekt (name of hostage)

Well,, please post if you need more info.
Or if you are intrested,, just step in to the portal,, or just mail me at madcow_admin@hotmail.com,, my real address went nuts and just stoped working.

Have a nice day!

Click Pictures, then Models

Oh,, sorry about that,, it's for Half-life 2

oh, ok.

/ is the only modeling program for HL2 "XSI"? :S

That program just got to many buttons,, I can't find anything.. >_<
And it's too hard to use.

One can use 3DS Max too, among others.

is 3D Max,, free..? ^^

Er... no. Gmax, a similar product, is, though. Don't know how good it is.

So good than MAX, but less versatile...

And madcow, if you need some world-models (chairs, tables, cars, broken things or something) just mail me... I really want to help you...

Thanks NemoStein!
I'll have a look!

I'm downloading it right now. =)

Ok,, before someone posts the just-fucking-google-it adress, I shall google it..
And have a look,, is it easy to make models in 3D max?

Well... Easy??? No...
But it is more easy (to me) than to make it in XSI... If you have some skills with the program, everything that you want will be easy...

But if you to need, in the HL SDK exist a tutorial about modeling in MAX... And you can google too... hehe

OK???

GMAX is in TurboSquid.com

It's easy to find.

Aha,, well, when I started with modeling,, I was using XSI, and even if I read 100 tutorials I didn't know how to make anything.. =/

So you can model for both HL and HL2 in Max? :S

If you have the right exsporters. I can sorta do softimage although I'm still trying to figer out how to exsport!

Have a look at the "Swat" series of games for some ideas.

Or the new Swat 4.. I just tested it,, it was great!
I posted this to try again..
The whole preject has ben stoped because we don't got modelers or coders..
Coders - A few things to fix, like, new weapons ( mp5, sniper, shotgun, hand-gun, blah blah blah... I don't know how many new weapons yet, but that's a start), also, we might need to change the AI, so they can surrender, and you can put handcufs on them..

-Modelers Still the same thing, changing the citizen models into Swat models, and changing the combine models into,, uhh.. terrorists? O.o (duh)

Maby some more mappers.

I will start a special SWAT-mod section at www.tco.2u.se (http://roma55.mine.nu/julian/index.asp = error free login for non-mozzila users)
So you can sign up, and see what's going on, and talk about the swat mod there..

Please, any mapper/coder/modeler that wants so sign up now, just mail me at madcow_admin@hotmail.com or post it here.

Thanks for taking time reading this!
