Quote: "...mean that the pack is still being worked upon, and fine tuned? Is it worth purchasing now or is it better to wait until FPSC v1.18 becomes official (comes out of beta)?"
Correct. There will be an update to include improved scripts and correct some minor errors that slipped through. Most of those updates will be made available as they come available via the forums. For developers waiting for official v1.18 there is no reason to buy these now unless they're willing to get their hands dirty.
Quote: "Just one question, are the gunspec of those weapons(melee and alternative fire) compatible with your previous model packs(mp9 and mp10)?"
No. These are totally different models an animations which just happen to look similar. There is almost nothing in common with those older weapons other than the names and weapons which they represent.
Quote: "I noticed in some of your previous screens, i think it was in another thread, but i noticed that some of your characters had snow camo on. Are you planning on releasing those guys eventually too? Or perhaps your planning on making a #2 pack that has reskins??
Just curious because those guys looked really cool, and i want them too. :-P
I was also wondering if your characters can move their mouth and actually talk like the Dark Voices and those standard characters."
I think those skins are not compatible with the released meshes but I'll have a look and release them if that's the case. I will NOT be selling any skin packs for these characters. I would in-fact like to do a couple snow dudes but they would have proper meshes to reflect cold weather gear and be sold separately through GCS.
However, I'm going to be really lenient with texture-mod/re-texture sharing on this pack and I'm sure there will be loads of alternate textures available before too long.
No, these are not Dark voices compatable. It wasn't worth the overhead to add the 20+ limbs it requires and I was afraid their heads would explode when radolling. Eventually I'll mess with DV and GCS a couple "hero" characters that have the ability.
Quote: "Since the one thing that really takes my fancy, is one of the black uniformed females (I'm not into contemporary warfare at all) I hope somehow the models also find their way into the store."
I doubt any of this characters will be put on GCS. This pack is meant as a booster pack of sorts with planned expansion media available through GCS and will include some quirky or Sci-Fi leaning characters so that devs can lean their game stories one way or another more easily by having matching artwork. When GCS characters come online any official texture variations will be included because I have no desire to have devs pay for texture varients. This also allows me to be less protective of textures as indicated above.
Quote: "Yes I noticed that as well, but is it possible with a Mod or without, to add an action key and make it go to say height 25 (100 being standing, 50 being crouched) upon pressing say, X and then crouch at height 50 by pressing C. If its not possible to do that without any current mods, how would I go about changing the game engines source just to do that?"
You'll have to do the legwork to find the answer to that. I've been out of the mod-scene loop for too long to know for certian.
Quote: "Okay thanks, is the running disable animation used on the M-24 SAW compatible with any weapon? Like would all I have to do is merge the gun I want to have disabled and the SAW together in milkshape and delete all the SAW files except the Disable animation, then save the file and adjust the gunspec? Is that how I'd do it? If that's correct than is there an easier way?"
Simply adding
disablerunandshoot = 1 will disable the run n gun function. All the TF341 guns have run animations included but are commented out on weapons which allow run n gun. Run animations for old weapons are an entirely different story.
Quote: "I was wondering the same thing. For like the AK-74 in model pack 10. Or the AKM in model pack 9."
Settings: Yes - Animations: No (see above answer)
Anyhow, as soon as I post my official topic for the pack I won't be replying in the side-threads. Thanks LondonKid for a thread to disseminate information in the interim
