Added you Z Trooper & Thanks to the one who changed the title text, looks quiet alot better now actually

I suggest we combine this with some sort of Scandinavian ISAF faction to get the Norwegians in

EDIT: And in that case, I can remodel the PR G3 to an AG-3F2, as used by the Norwegians. Should be able to rework the G-wagon the Canadians have, too.

Why not just use the awesome model you are working on?
Looks really cool man, and be sides we need the standard of master KP

Well, the one in PR now is better, and would just need some remodelling to be really good as the F2. There is also a GLed version going into PR, so we could possibly nab that, too. Saving lots of work.

true if its not hard to modify. I guess you will have to contact a DEV or someone in charge to get them to agree with you.
The norwegian version really looks mean, unlike when the danish army had the G3. It was the standard A3 one, and before that we had the one with wooden stock and handguard.

KP/Z, anyone of you intrested in modeling the CV-90 30 & 40mm IFV ? 30mm is the export variant, 40mm is the swedish

Norway - 104 CV9030
Sweden - 509 vehicles, including 42 CV9040C with additional armour
Finland - 102 CV9030FIN (57 first batch, 45 second batch)

So. Allthough under NBG-flag, this will be a Swede Faction?
I would love to see some versatility in this, maybe even an alternative pretext, so it wouldn't be neccessary to do a future Danish and Norwegian Faction in addition. Try to summon it up.

Out of curiosity: Is it technically possible to use the Unlock-system to let you choose wich nation you would represent?

Not saying it would be a good idea, just airing thought..

Edit: Any know what happened to the northern conflict link removed - site infected with malware-mod? Their website hasn't had an update in 6 months. If they scrapped that project, maybe you can persuade some to join this project. Looks like they have a lot of vehicles done.

Just airing more thoughts..

Already been in touch with various DEVs about it. Have permission to use it from Requiem, so it's mostly finding out who I can get it from.

As for the modifications, it's basically a matter of slapping on a RIS handguard and rails on top of the rifle, plus a collapsible butt (which I have already made). Aimpoint is standard on the rifle, and should be modelled for it, I think.

Interested, yeah, but making vehicles is a lot of work and I don't have the time ATM. Possibly use the Warrior - which is fairly similar - as a placeholder?

CV-90 is a very cool looking IFV and is also in use by the danish military btw

But like KP I'm a bit overloaded at the moment. Was actually thinking about doing the MG3 for the germans but I'm not sure. So if I have to do any more work for the community mods it will either be the MG3 or the CV-90. I cant decide at the moment.

KP · Post by KP » 2008-02-14 16:50

CV90 for teh Norwegians FTW!

Swe_Olsson, since you are trying to start up a mod and the fact that you are a tester - you can join us here: Xfire - Project Reality Community Modders Team (prcm), then you'll have me, KP and 22 other PR community modders at your fingertips.
Hopefully the last few people will decide to join up soon

Swe_Olsson · Post by **Swe_Olsson** » 2008-02-14 17:47

alright, i have officially joined

We're in no rush KP, therefor you have quiet alot of time if you decide to start the project. Including the dannish wouldnt be such a bad thing either really, we dont have to be realistic.

The hard part would probaly be the voiceovers due to all different accents we would need. So recruiting voice actors is cruicial ( in my opinion ) I might be swedish but i dont really have that swedish accent.

I also spoke with Jaymz and a normal gaming headset doesnt do it, but a real microphone would be needed. althought I belive such thing can be bought on pretty much any computer store

KP · Post by KP » 2008-02-14 20:52

Well, as someone said, there is a recording studio I might be able to borrow close to where I live. I can probably get a couple different Norwegian accents.

Swe_Olsson · Post by **Swe_Olsson** » 2008-02-14 20:57

Awesome, do we even have any estonian & irelandish players ? if we dont it would be better to eliminate both countries and add denmark right ?

Post by **Z-trooper** » 2008-02-14 23:13

Haha, you are actually considering making this a scandinavian operation?

Tell you what Olsson, if you dont press me to finish the CV-90 or dont expect too much right away (Cause I am VERY busy and have quite enough projects as it is) I am willing to accept it.

And no, it is not because you are considering adding denmark - that is just a bonus.
Its mainly because I am trying to get a nice portfolio together so I can do some stuff elsewhere.

If you want it done right away you might need to find someone else, but I'm pretty sure I will do it at some point cause its a pretty sweet looking vehicle and havent been mass modeled yet, so a rather special piece I could add.

Swe_Olsson · Post by **Swe_Olsson** » 2008-02-15 03:07

like i said in a previous post, theres absolutely no rush. I I understand that both of you are busy quiet alot due to your great talents

... and have what is called "real life"

(and only speaking for myself here, girlfriend - which, if you have one, you know will take up a lot of time too

Also: I'll take care of the CV-90, savvy?

BTW there are these 3 versions if we chose to include DK (not up to me), but seems to me making 3 versions is a lot of work/effort for such a small faction and the role/use it will probably play in PR

CV9040 - The original model with a 40mm Bofors autocannon.
CV9030 - Export version with a 30 mm Bushmaster II autocannon. (Adopted by Norway, Switzerland and Finland)
CV9035 - Armed with a Bushmaster III 35/50 cannon. (Adopted by the Netherlands and Denmark)

Maybe we should settle on just one of them?

According to northern conflict link removed - site infected with malware they are changing engine. I had a look around and it looks like Crysis.

Isn't that kind of the whole idea? I'd like to see denmark there too but in my opinion this faction should be as close to the real deal as possible.

If we want the danish and norwegians in (on a larger scale) then I think we should think of a different name. No idea what this name would be, but I'm sure someone can think of something nice. Can be pretty much fictional, the mec is ingame too and it's completely fictional.

I've also started mapping, so if all goes well I will be able to provide you guys with (at least) 1 forest map. Obviously this will take a lot of time but I doubt that will be a problem.

I'd love to help with the modelling too (since thats the main priority) but unfortunately I'm not good at it.
