How about a sniper rifle?
I'd love one of these:

Steyr .50 HS

And this... The IWS 2000 is truly a masterpiece. It can penetrate 2 walls of any modern APC in the distance of 1 kilometer.
It's like a fucking cannon.
That's incredible.

Since there is no proper pic for modelling in the site, heres one:

What do ya think?

pepper · 2006-03-14 11:18:59 UTC

Seen it before if i recall so. Not quite a modern weapon to be fair. Big as bad with weapons, imagine this weapon being almost 3/4 the height of the person carrying it. I recall seeing a pic of it being operated by 2 persons. The sound of these weapons would instantaniously draw all attention to your area. That is why it's hardly used and modern day army's prefer the smaller light caliber weapons.

The bigger guns may have the range to fire a kilometer, but its extremely hard calculating your lead on such a range, taken bullet drop into account and then try to hit a moving target.

If i would model it? Sure!

EDIT: that australian rifle is a Anti-tank weapon. Its not a sniper.

The Mad Carrot · 2006-03-14 13:32:51 UTC

Geez, people!
No more weapons! I like to get this finished. Ktnxbai.

pepper · 2006-03-14 14:31:23 UTC

Make up your mind ffs....

The Mad Carrot · 2006-03-14 14:33:45 UTC

I did. Ill say again:

No more weapon! We allready have, what? 3 weapons in the works? Thats enough!

Archie · 2006-03-14 14:35:14 UTC

we have 2. i want 3

btw muzz, when can i play your maps?

The Mad Carrot · 2006-03-14 14:36:20 UTC

Its still not finished.

pepper · 2006-03-14 15:21:21 UTC

Then what your whining...

Sajo · 2006-03-14 15:24:54 UTC

yea, just get a sniper rifle from the cs.pak

pepper · 2006-03-14 17:09:29 UTC

No. One thing i wont accept. Ripping weapons from CS.

Madcow · 2006-03-14 17:23:46 UTC

Maybe you could just borrow it, just for a while?

Archie · 2006-03-14 19:11:02 UTC

Sign up now if you haven't already. Remember that members get exclusive development information and media, and also go in for the chance of beta testing Hostage Situation before it is released

Habboi · 2006-03-14 19:30:40 UTC

Who needs to sign up when all you gotta do is get a little close with the developers and give them treats.

Archie · 2006-03-15 08:39:31 UTC

Make up your mind ffs....

Ok, but i just remembered. Weren't you gonna do a socom? I seem to remember that in the HS forums somewhere...

That'd give us 3 guns. pwnage

pepper · 2006-03-15 11:40:23 UTC

I'm not the one to make a call. Mind you that Socom made more then one weapon. Nobody told me wich one to model.

Daubster · 2006-03-15 12:28:14 UTC

How bout a nice silenced HK Mk.23?

http://www.world.guns.ru/handguns/mark23la.jpg

I was thinking of the silenced + lasersight version.

This pistol could be used by the assasins and Muzz could make them drop their weapons. (doesn't seem too hard to code)
What d'ya think?

Sajo · 2006-03-15 12:34:48 UTC

No. One thing i wont accept. Ripping weapons from CS.

we rip valve.pak why not cs?They are all valve's property anyway..

Me nods head in approval.

I think the CS guns look kinda cartoony anyways. dont like them.

Daubster · 2006-03-15 12:43:01 UTC

Bullshit. I totally agree with Pepper. Ripping CS weapons is:

1. Fucking Low, since it's a modification (not like valve's models, who are a part of the original game)

2. Stupid, because the models aren't really good and were designed in the times, when the computers couldn't support 800+ polies of a weapon model.

3. Useless, coz you can model much better-looking weapons in a fairly short ammount of time.

So again. CS models in your mod
(woot! I used teh new bbcode! :glad:)

Sajo · 2006-03-15 12:44:32 UTC

you can put your gun down now...Its all over

Daubster · 2006-03-15 12:51:28 UTC

deep breath Ok.. It's down..

Picks up mapping hammer

GAR!

Tetsu0 · 2006-03-16 01:53:10 UTC

I joined your forums. I like LOVE the movie.
Screenies are awesome. You guys make a serious team.

Daubster · 2006-03-16 02:42:42 UTC

Movie? What movie?

M_gargantua · 2006-03-17 17:45:26 UTC

look on the forums

Tetsu0 · 2006-03-18 15:43:46 UTC

pepper · 2006-03-21 12:10:28 UTC

Started skinning the 9mm Uzi Submachine gun.

Archie · 2006-03-21 13:39:33 UTC

yay!!!

Seventh-Monkey · 2006-03-21 15:14:13 UTC

Looks awesome.

Tetsu0 · 2006-03-21 17:04:14 UTC

ZOMG its an uzi

SpaG · 2006-03-21 17:08:36 UTC

Nice.

pepper · 2006-03-21 17:17:34 UTC

Glad you peeps like it, im personaly quite fond on the subtile colours on the barrel. First time i tryed that style, even though its a know technique to add a bleu colour on top and brown on the bottom.

Tetsu0 · 2006-03-21 17:22:21 UTC

I would've never seen the color difference if you had'nt pointed it out to me.

Subtle +3 points!

pepper · 2006-03-21 17:42:15 UTC

Hahaha, try comparing it with the barrel from the FAMEA S.A.F.(earlier in this thread.). You will notice the difference in how i skinned the barrel. For one the other skin is more detailed since i uvmapped it in a different way, but in the other one i didnt use colour, thus keeping it pretty neutral.

M_gargantua · 2006-03-21 17:43:28 UTC

shaweet

Tetsu0 · 2006-03-21 17:50:38 UTC

Pepper.. There's 17 pages... Ill take your word for it.

pepper · 2006-03-21 18:51:37 UTC

Lol, cant be more then 2 pages of so.

Archie · 2006-03-21 19:00:45 UTC

saver post

Seventh-Monkey · 2006-03-21 19:04:30 UTC

Another saver.

Seventh-Monkey · 2006-03-21 19:04:35 UTC

Damn.

Seventh-Monkey · 2006-03-21 19:04:39 UTC

Buggy.

Seventh-Monkey · 2006-03-21 19:04:43 UTC

Stuff.

Phew.

I'll look into the way reply counts are done at some point.

G_KID · 2006-03-21 19:17:10 UTC

You ruined the scary no posts page

pepper · 2006-03-21 19:34:16 UTC

i've missed out on something didnt i?

Hits his computer screen with six Anti-Alias passes from Yafray

pepper · 2006-03-22 10:08:48 UTC

Yar, finaly got G-max to render happy dance

In this shot i messed around with my Westland Lynx helicopter for Flightsimulator. I'm also going to try to do some shots for HL:HS, could serve well as media.

Daubster · 2006-03-22 11:58:02 UTC

Could we have this as an apache in HLHS? Looks awesome!
The UZI looks great too.
The scratches are just right

Seventh-Monkey · 2006-03-22 12:03:55 UTC

Awesome model. The insane reflections are a little confusing, though.

SpaG · 2006-03-22 12:06:13 UTC

Looks very nice :o. Finish it!

pepper · 2006-03-22 12:37:41 UTC

Wow, didnt expect such a response, its my first flightsimulator project, mainly inspired by a even that happend almost a year ago. It was when i was cycling home that i noticed low circling choppers. turned out they were practicing droppings from this chopper. i stayed watching at the abandoned industry area. Soon they landed to pick up the next crew only 6/10 meter from where i was standing, the rotorwash was amazing and made some people turn to there cars from all the dus that came blowing by, didnt want to close my eyes though, it doesnt happend everyday that the fastest chopper in the world lands only a few metres from you..

@daub, um. Dont think so. Its already 3000 polygons, though if i would optimize it then it might be possible.

@7th, i was playing with the rendering options. I did turn up the specular and the shiny function property up.

@spag, i still have dozens of parts and details to model. Here is a link for a ingame screeny for those interested. Note that none of the animations work yet, i only got this after experimenting with the default jetranger(copying it and messing around in the model properties so it would load mine.).
