Pantera · Post by **Pantera** » 2006-03-23 15:23

Kk,

Let me begin by saying that we all know that the LSW is SA-80's sister weapon, it looks like the SA-80 but with a longer barrel, now since the SA-80 is already on BF2, how cud i get it on G-Max and make the barrel for it and change it's rate of fire and etc etc !

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

I think the Devs are already or have already made an L86 as a Marksman weapon. I dont think its legal to edit someone else's model's, i could be wrong.

it is not legal to edit BF2 models. They have to be made from scratch if you want to remake them.

I'd recommend starting off with something much simpler.

Like a square box. I'm serious. I'd also spend a LOT more time experimenting and researching than I would posting for help in the early stages.

If you do want to model something that we might include in game as part of PR, I can probably find something simple that we could use.

However... you will really have to do a lot of your own research and experimentation. Once you get thrugh the basics, and can make boxes and other less complex models, we could arrange for a trial and you could build something simple and specific to PR. We have some very talented and knowledgeable folks, but they'll want to see you taking A LOT of your own initiative.

Quoted for truth.

You'll be needing to make your own weapon from scratch. Start simple, follow a few tutorials for modelling (if you need it) and then importing and coding the weapon. Then come back and post about any problems you're having. The process is far too long to guide someone through in a forum post.

P.S. isn't the LSW going out of service anyway?

I think it is but its still going to feture in this mod from what i know.

Post by **eggman** » 2006-03-23 21:12

I don't think the LSW is appropriate as a support weapon in PR mostly due to mag size issues. Probably see the Minimi in Para config (my preference).

I don't think the LSW is actually in practical use as a SAW anywhere in the world (much like the MG36).

I thought I read somewhere that Brit Troops had actually used the L86 as a sniper platform???

Its a Marksman rifle now, it should definetly be used as the DMR in PR.

You need to download the gmax tutorials seperately.

Tutorials here
And here are the help files.

edit: More specifically, gmax is a cut down version of 3ds max. On the whole, the same tutorials should work for either. You may notice a few differences, but for the type of modelling you'll be doing, they'll be practically the same.

Hey guys, i finally started modeling but i cant find the god dam Insert Vertex button

...does anyone know where i can get a free trail version of 3dsmax ?

Eden · Post by **Eden** » 2006-03-25 10:53

there isnt a free or trial version of 3DSMax (a bad thing imo buisness wise)

inset vertex (or a similar function) will be there somewhere, have a search on google for gmax gui tutorial or similar.

BTW (for those who know) are the BF2 tools even finished for GMax?
