[Mini-mod Proposal] Late Cold War+Desert Storm

[torenico]

Koreangal took alot because of the Details.

If you see closely, koreangal is damn detailed, plus new textures, the caves, the AAS mode, etc.

So i dont think that Kashan desert took 1 year to complete. I can do something like Kashan, but whitout the AAS cos i dont understand it yet, in something like 4 weeks if im lucky.





And, im currently making a map for this faction, its just an US Fleet in the blakc sea landing somewhere inthe north of Batum, in the Causcasus. It would be a Combined Arms battle (Whitout airplanes), maybe 3 M1A1 Abrams for the US, 3 LAV24, 2 Strykers, and 1 Cobra. For the Russians the same. They are controlling an Airbase in the North wich contains trucks and a Russian LB or something.


Sadly, i cant place vehicles because the Editor doesnt reads it. I can place statics and things like that, but no moving vehicle, and i cant configure the "Level Settings".

IF someone like Rhino has the Answer PM me bro..

[jbgeezer]

Hope this mod is made! It sound very interesting

[chuckduck]

im glad that we got some support.
Why cant you just look at this minimod as two community factions?
We could try and make 12 maps if you think that would be best, but right now lots of the community factions are lucky if they have at least 5 maps for themselves.
Once we have at least 2 maps, we will try what you said and try and make 2 maps for every combonation of factions, or every gamemode.

I would really like to see this minimod, come to life. And i sure other people do to, especaially WiC fans and people who have read many Cold War fiction books.

BTW; Its really kind of torenico to be letting us use his map, although it will also be implemented in PR, but thats fine, the map sounds fun and like a change of scene from all the middle eastern+Afghani stuff seen recently.

Thanks.

[torenico]

Well, since PR has no real history (rggg why not?!), i can simply make the Battle of Moscow, featuring the Congo* faction attacking and the Russians defending.. common! theres no story!







*Congo has Nukes

[chuckduck]

Lol omg, i dont think too many of the hardcore, military guys will like that....

I was just on the PoE (Point of Existence) Mod website and i am dowloading PoE now.....i was also looking through some of the screenshots of thie maps, on thier forums.

They have s Fck load of custom statics! And thier maps are superb! especailly the winter maps, with snow.
I just makes me wish oh how i wish PR and PoE joined together, then it would be realistic but it would have all thouse great maps and vehicles....

Maybe this minimod can come to some sort of agreement with them and we could trade some statics with them...

Just have a look for you self in some of these new archives.. (The Best ones are News 119,101, 102,113 & 111)

Point of Existence Forum -> News

[torenico]

We could trade.. what?



I think theres is an Snow Texture already in the PR files.. the Korengal mountains has them.

[chuckduck]

Trade something that they dont have.....problem is none of the stuff technically belongs to the cold war minimod.....unless someone stats making some statics for the mimimod.
Then they will hopefully be willing to trade...i dunno....they wont let people use their resorces im guessing.

POE wont ever share models! thats really sure!

so do not waste on thinking about that...

[torenico]

Well, sharing is not always Fair. I mean, i dont know what people is working here and if someone is doing something.

Afaik, someone must be coding and the other (me and maybe other) are mappin.


I wont bother about the Snow now.. we should bother about Phyton and getting the correct Vehicles etc.

Another thing - I realise that USI are part of BSS, but Im not sure they would be that enthusiastic about sharing almost all of their models, to a minimod that plans to do something very similar to what they are doing already.

And before you come up with anymore ideas, you really need to look at whats involved. Its easy to say " possibly a remodel" - its just 3 little words. Have a look into what is actually involved in doing these things.

[Hitman.2.5]

, or a US Insurgency.

Tell me if you dont agree and think it should span out differently.

Not more insurgency , eugh! XD

[chuckduck]

Ok forget what i said about remodeling, and asking PoE if we could share.
The only vehicle i think that absolotley needs to be remodeled is the M60A1.
All the rest just need new skins.

I thought that USi wouldnt mind, sharing their vehicles, because no offence, but hardy anyone plays USi anymore, by merging their work into this minimod it would mean that thier work doesnt go to waste.

Im not exactly preposing a Insurgency.....with US insurgents. But a asysmetrical battle between US rebels or freedom fighters against the Soviet occupation.
TBH sometimes i do get a bit sick of insurgency, running around looking for caches...instead of attacking and defending.
If thier was a US insugency it probably have to revolve around something other than Caches.

Also if a city map does get made, providing that the city statics are made, since PoE wont really help out.
I would think that a city map, based on Seattle or City 17 in Half Life 2 is a good starting point.
Although this will require lots of work for the new statics.

[Hitman.2.5]

as long as the US rebals are decently armed

Like the Resistance XD (no laser weapons) XD

[chuckduck]

yeah the Half Life resistance levels really inspired me, with the sewers and canals. Also the apartment buildings and streets were fun. Too bad we dont have many, of those buildings in PR, maybe someone could help out. Of course the city maps will be in a later realease.

[wolfi]

Well hello there

You would fall from your chair if I would tell you how many players actually play USI (offline though)

But I generally have to agree, putting our assets in other mods (inside BSS, of course, as space noted) would stop them from being in this little parallel world called USI. The quality is sweet and we would all be happy if the players that don't play USI could actually use them.

Another thing - I realise that USI are part of BSS, but Im not sure they would be that enthusiastic about sharing almost all of their models, to a minimod that plans to do something very similar to what they are doing already.

QFT

[chuckduck]

Ow i fell of my chair, only becuase i was leaning back on it.

Its good that people agree with me when i say that it would be a shame to see these wonderful assets and all the hard work that went into them, not be used by as many people, as they should be.
I personally play Usi offline and EoD. Do you know if anypeople play Eod offline? or Online?

PS Whats your opinion on the entire mod though, does it seem like a waste of time to you?
What do you think about its features, like the US Resistance, and stuff like that.

Sorry to nag im only trying to get an insight into what other people think.

[wolfi]

Haha, don't want to know how many times I fell off my chair in school while leaning back on it

I don't think that the time and work we put into the mod was worthless, because we all learned things we can use for and some other great mods can benefit from our collaborative work over at BSS

[chuckduck]

Yeah exactly thats what i belive.
For now we need to concentrate on getting the models reskinned, and the maps made. Maybe some people in the community mapping section will help out. After all some of those maps would be better suited with this minimod.

If you know anyone who could help out with reskins please could you give me a shout.
thanks

[Hitman.2.5]

Only inf whores will dislike this mini mod XD

[aperson444]

Here are my ideas for maps, or rather a campaign (USSR, NATO, and USA). I'm assuming this would be around 1980's? What about USSR in Afghanistan? Wouldn't that be a nice minimod? It would basically be INS vs USSR. These are jsut some ideas, perhaps wehre USSR might attack first in Europe.

USSR vs. NATO -- East Berlin onto West Berlin in a place called Teltow. The USSR is pushing into Germany. Perhaps we could make some GDR forces? This would be a great map on APC emphasis, because it is wide and open, with lots of vulnerability, so armored transport would be vital.

USSR vs. NATO -- Amphibious assault onto Gotland.


As of weapons, I think for USSR, we just need to reskin the AK-74 into the wood-bakelite version. We need the RPGs of that time. Basically MEC and INS weapons.
