[Faction Proposal] Finnish Defence Forces

[rampo]

The Finnish decide that they want the world to know about their proficiency in sauna-sitting competitions, but noone will listen, so they decide to commit terrorist attacks across the world.

Oyea. I've made .973 build + merged placeholder vehicles & weapons. So the faction is ingame... on test server too

Lots of progress made with weapons, vehicles and kits, but i'm not gonna say more about that 'cause guys want to keep their work out of sight until they feel it's the time to publish it here...

Just came to my mind: like said earlier, if you have experience in areas of mapping, modeling, UVing, texturing, export, animation or coding and would like to contribute, feel free to contact us in IRC on channel #fdfpr @QuakeNet. If you're not familiar with IRC, use WebIRC: QuakeNet Web IRC (qwebirc).

If you'd like to get hunch about what we're up to, take a look at design plan, link is in OP of this thread.

I think it will be a good idea to use those Christmas maps as a placeholder

YES TO THIS.

you would need permission of the Management before modifying our maps

No need for that as i see we will not use any released maps as placeholders.

ATM i have modified Silent Eagle with FI vs RU as testbed for faction (in closed testing environment ie passworded server running FDF minimod).

Splatters has Rajantie: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f354-c ... m-wip.html in works and Element-X_IV has been working on his map Prizrak https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f354-c ... m-wip.html and has said he would like to see FDF fighting there :cheers: Unfortunately no news from him for a while...

Moreover a couple of maps are in very early stage, but their future is quite obscured - mostly 'cause vague mapper resources :/

even for the modified Silent Eagle you need a permission as soon as you dont run the server on your private computer

I run the server in my private computer - one of them. FDF team can connect through my firewall as i have set up port forward for bf2 client/server to "server" machine. Connection is not limited in any way though. As it's a minimod, it doesn't show in PR server browser nor can anyone connect without the same build in client side.

I will take the server down until i cook up a test map of our own. Silent Eagle is unnecessary big and complex for testing faction anyroad. In fact i first used it only because needed some map to test faction on and it features Russia and US, which made it easier for me to use placeholders for weapons and vehicles...

It was indeed serious fun and nice practise in understanding map structure - init.con, GamePlayObjects.con and map info .desc and related images and misleading image formats

Case closed.

Spoiler for Good bye Silent Eagle FDF Mod, R.I.P:

sexy

[Amok@ndy]

temexter you can simply reqest the permission from a RedTag

[temexter]

Aye Amok@ndy, i might do that thx, but i might scrap it 'cause like i said it's far too heavy and complex map for faction testing - 4 km2, amount of objects, load times etc

[Amok@ndy]

if you have SVN you could take the testmap i made for the Norwegian Forces, i would be fine if you would use it

[temexter]

if you have SVN

Yep, i have FDF build in SVN, repository is in Google Code like other facs - i've been doing some industrial espionage

you could take the testmap i made for the Norwegian Forces, i would be fine if you would use it

Cheers, i'll take a look at that...

Is someone making this faction,
I think I saw some models,
or I had some trip
