Army Men Mod

[blackhawkdown132]

Why not do a mod on 3do's Army Men Series? I mean, sure they were'nt masterpieces, but it was a good idea. Putting in a FPS like Falshponit could only make it better. You could add special damage textures and use traditional army men weopons like M1s and Bazookas. you could also make a flooded sandbox map, with plastic toys battling in a flooding sandbox. It would be pretty cool.

This would actually really like this idea a lot.  It would take me back to when I used to set up the Army Men on the carpet and have mock battles.  BTW, have you tried the Lega Warz mod?

[blackhawkdown132]

yeah it kicks ass

[blackhawkdown132]

i had to delete ofp because of a hard drive problem :'(, so i lost all my mods...

Nothing like the cries of pain and flying plastic to make you want to go home. ( did I say plastic?)

Sounds cool. Just don't do sarges heros, that game sucked. The world war ones were good.

[blackhawkdown132]

do you know how to retexture soldiers and thier weaps to a olive green color or a tan color in oxygen.

[Captain]

I think this is an excellent idea. I was thinking I could reskin either the i44 troops or the HYK US Soldiers, but I have no idea how to make the base green and tan plastic texture. But it would be excellent with plastic tanks/helis/men roaming around.

I really like the idea about the flooded sandpit map... very cool

not with a base

[blackhawkdown132]

i thought about it and i think i should base it off of the actual plastic soldiers that u get for $1 in the 60-packs, and most of those are from the vietnam era with m-16s, Sheridan tanks, and heuy helicopters.

[blackhawkdown132]

but someone plz tell me how to change the texture of a unit model! i am a novice with oxygen.

[blackhawkdown132]

Maybe i could borrow (with permission of course), props, units, and the vehicles of the Lega Warz Mod. I will check with them to see if they will give some models to the cause.  

[Homefry31464]

Many of the objects are of little use for this addon, we would just need to retuexture some models green, and give them a plastic look.

[blackhawkdown132]

no i mean for static aobject and for carjacking , as u know, the island is a sandbox with toys on it, and those object fir perfectly into the scheme

[Dubieman]

You got to make a giant sandbox addon that's huge.

But don't forget tan soldiers. Wait what army men are you makin? The toys or the actual video game? I'm talkin about the video game.

If you have PS1 then I suggest you rent the game Army men or even if you have Ps2...

[blackhawkdown132]

i have all of the PC games, world war for ps1, and RTS for ps2. I would take inspiration from both toys and video games

[Dubieman]

Okay so are you makin tan soldiers?

I loved multi on World War, mortars and rocket launchers are fun to dodge...:moon:

[blackhawkdown132]

actually, im a mssion maker. I need a some units textured green and tan and i can get started.

Hmmm.. *Puts hand up*
I'll do it
But basicly, you need texview,
Get a plain green texture (In paint, for eg)
Make sure it's 512pixels by 512pixels (Or other sizes, like 32x32 etc)

And in O2, hit A, then right click > load texture.. Find it.. Then drag it over the model, press a, select everything, a again, and hit B

Simple
I'll have a go at new models soon, though

thats cool

[DBR_ONIX]

Hmm.. Just remebered i have Army Men 2 lying around.. Maybe I can find a way of opening it's models and getting them to O2... Hmmm

Any anim makers wanna do a new walking anim?

- Ben

[blackhawkdown132]

i was planning to just retexture some models...

[DBR_ONIX]

Hmm :S
I seriously doubt that would work.. It would look awful..
I'll go and look for Army Men 2 tools (And the game) just now.. See what I can do

If you want to try retexturing a man.. Try.. I doubt it will look good though

Like if you read the reviews for the legawars mod, it said something about them expecting them to be retextured soldiers.. But was extremly happy when they turned out as new models etc

So it wouldn't go down to well, I think.. Unless the stuff is new models etc

Could be a fun mod though

soldiers would be easy as heck, you dont need any anims. you only to spin rotors on helos and turn turrets on tanks, both of which are relatively easy

[DBR_ONIX]

Nah, you need a new walking anims for them.. When a normal soldier runs, it's like a person runs..
But an toy army man walking, they, well, wadle.. Mainly because they have they'rew feet joined

But I guess you could unjoin they're feet, and everything would be okay!

I'll have a go at the model this week end, unless something important happens *Laughs*

I've got the BAS Standard Inf kit, so I'll try modifing that (I'll just use it for the selection names )

[blackhawkdown132]

ever seen the army men series? they dont have a base. Its also easier on the engine if you use the same model.

[blackhawkdown132]

thanks, im also working on a webpage, so keep on alert

[DBR_ONIX]

No base.. I gotta reinstall Armymen 2..
Will try that tonight
Sorry I've not started.. I had to reinstall windows (No data lost though)

So you want to retexture the orig models?
