WWII Australian Infantry; port from MOH:AA

[Frosty]

Ooh, expect them soon.
Before I release, ill need permission from the authors

Pics from MOH

Desert (yay, a slouch hat. Us aussies are rebels, we dont need helmets)


Jungle (ill probably need to make a austen and owens to go with them)

[jepo]

So, you didn't make em yourself? still cool anyway, are you gonna use them for your new campaign?

[Frosty]

Jepo, I have no talent as a modeller or skinner whatsoever. And anyway, these are so cool. Im going to import the webbing to OFP and change the textures and shape of the default OFP soldier, so I will be doing some work.

Ive imported the hat and other webbing pieces into milkshape and then exported as .3ds and autocad but Objekitv just crashes when I try to import them the game crashes.

[jepo]

lol, i downloaded .3ds models of planes, tried to import them into O2 but it crashes too and i aint a modeller either. Try asking a pro modeller guy to help you or somethin.

[Black Magic]

Ooh this should be good.

[Frosty]

Yeah, well im still having trouble converting and texturing. Dont expect them too soon now. But Black Magic, they will use the WWIIEC weapons as well of some of upminders if you all say that it is okay. I will increase the camoflauge value of the jungle anzacs to represent how good they were at jungle fighting

Yee-haaa Aussie troops remember we can't forget our New Zealand brothers they were the ones who led were a key element in the British Africa Corps.

Personally, I myself see NO problem with you using and editing our stuff so long as credit is given. I'd also love to have your edited stuff hosted on our site, as well as your campaign when it's done. I need you to send me an email so I can send you a beta of my island.

I've been watching your stuff, and it looks great and frankly I'm impressed. It's always good to have someone that takes the addons we do, and then enhances them for their own special uses in their campaign. I have no problem with freelance people like ya doing that. It's a somewhat different matter when another mod wants to take and convert yer stuff, although we tend to be quite cool about that

I'm sure our upcoming british pack can fit quite well into your campaign. Will it use planes? Please keep us updated, as I check this topic everyday.

Cheers.

Well it's good to see that an administrator of a famous WWII site checks my posts everyday ;D. I'm having problems with my email over at Gdaymate.com.au so Im going to have to get a new email adress.

We’ll VIT and eviscrator made some WWII planes, but the planes disapeered from the OFP scene but remained on my 4-CD OFP addon collection. I’ve got a Spitfire MkI, BE-109, and P-51D Mustang. I’m going to fix up the cockpits, fix proxy problems, muzzle-flash bug problems and update the CPP so they will dogfight and drop their payloads on tiger tanks. The planes will be added into Snypir’s supportpack, so if your 101st airborne buddy with a radio (yes, ive changed Invasion’s 82nd AB to 101st, you can choose which one, it is so you can choose which division you want to fight in) spots a kingtiger tank, he can call in a mustang to strafe it with 250lbs bombs.

I don’t know why people complain there are not enough WWII tanks, these are what im including:
M3 Stuart (M3A1, M3A2, M3A3, M5 and M5A1 variants)
M4 Sherman (M4A1, M4A2, M4A3 and 76mm and 105mm variants)

PzKpfW IV (about 5 variants)
PzKpfW V Panther (about 3 variants)
PzKpfW VI Tiger (about 3 variants, including Koenigstiger)
StuG III

+ more, im a school so I cannot type much ;D

[Frosty]

Here ya go:



You gotta start somewhere

Also ive reqeuested the models from the British WWIIEC pack so I can use the british webbing and tin hat.

[Black Magic]

Hey looking good man - if you're not too keen on using someone elses textures drop me a message and maybe I can help you out with some new ones from scratch.

[Frosty]

Dude, they're not finished. That's just a beta shot, to display to you that I am working on them. I was using GST's 101st model just to 'snap' on the objects im porting from krzysz's MOH aussies. Then I will alter the vertexs, and retexture it with krzysz's jungle textures.

And here are some US Infantry, using GST's paratrooper model (edited) and the old WWII team army textures:

[Soldier8Boy]

Looking great, Frosty. You need to contact the individual addon author's concerning using their stuff being as it's their final decision.

I doubt there will be a problem, but just use our forums to get in touch with them.

[Frosty]

Here are some more beta shots of the US Infantry (this has gone from aussies to yanks sorry bout that!)

Still to do:
Raise the front textures - its still too droopy
Fix up the haversack/doughboy (its the M28, a backpack)
Fix up clipping problems with belts
Add a radio and M5 respirator bag (the ones they wore on D-Day)

I was inspired by Invasion 1944 to instead of making tonnes of different models for each class I used hiddenselections - saves tonnes of space.

WOW frosty!  these u.s infantry are way cool! this is just what we need to make descent WW2 invasion landings on DDAY! Just one comment: why are the skins bright? i think they should be a bit darker like the inv44 paratroopers.. they look a lot better if they're not that bright..
