[22.06.2007.]Heroes of World War II is NOT DEAD yet!

[GeeDougg]

Looking pretty good IMO. I like the "Iron Storm look"....

[jobro]

Thank you guys,but eh......I dunno....I just too stupid for this...that's why I cancelled it.But yes,I want it and again want it,I like WW2,but this is too difficult for me.

Don't cancel this lovely mod! If you need military music for it then let me help you!
And to the one who posted the reloader: I'm borrowing it with proper credit given if it's ok.

[GeeDougg]

Jobro: I think he's picking it back up again.

[jobro]

Well this deserves a better fate then the trashcan.

[GeeDougg]

Yeah well I stil wouldn't worry about it even if he DID quit on the project, because he gave the resources out so that unless he himself decided to pick it back up, other people would be able to complete it or do as they wish with it....

Ok,I and Body Guard are taking nice progess with the maps,on map01,you are on a plane with some squad members,so You are the dirty 10! You can jump out from the plane at the cargo hold,but u will die then. so u have to jump out from the door,then u will be fine when I can,I will post some screens

[GeeDougg]

Sounds downright sexy.... Am I the only one who's reminded of the beginning of Opposing Force...?!

[DoomerMrT]

We are taking progress,map01 are changed again due to an idea...I released a beta for You,just because to see how are we taking progress:British weapons nearly done,bindable taunts,able to salutate(slot 9)[more info about salutating is at the controls option(e.g.:conversation-takecover...etc.)],beta sherman tank("summon sherman" at the console),but no maps at this time.I have to finish the remaining 2 British weapons,then we will make the maps.(after that I have to make the American,Russian,Italian and German weapons )

Some summons to see the pickups:

summon brenlmg
summon leeenfield
summon sniperenfield

Oh,and please do NOT forget:this is only a beta!

I liked what I saw so far. The weapons were pretty cool. I liked the reloading animation for the pistol. The melee attacks were a pretty cool touch, but I think there should be a sound for when you hit an enemy like it would make a smacking noise. I'm sure there's a way to do it. I know wildweasel's got something like that in his mod ww-diaz. Another thing about the melee attacks is that the Sten and the Bren seem to not have it set as semi-auto. Make their melee attacks semi-auto like the rifles. Oh, and there should be a melee weapon like a knife for when you run out of ammo. Otherwise, if you only have the pistol, you're screwed. Will the pistol have a melee attack?

Aside from those issues, It's pretty nice. What will you be replacing the Plasma Rifle and BFG with?

[DoomerMrT]

Thank You for your opinion and advices!It means me a lot!Plasma will be replaced with PIAT(Projector Infantry Anti Tank)bfg will be DeLisle.If you run out of ammo,you can bash with the weapons.The pistol's bash haven't done yet.I'll try to do bashing sounds.I will do Bren and Sten to "semi-bash".Thank you again!


EDIT:Did you tried salutating?oh,and I forgot to say,some of the guns doesn't cock when they have have half clip.If you have empty clip and You want to reload,then the weapon will cock.These weapons are the Sniper and Sten.And the Lee Enfield loads only one clip when you have half clip or above.if you have less than 5 bullets,it will load 2 clips.

I always take a look for my older posts in this topic....I don't want to delete them,because they are remind me my own stupidity and this is a lesson too.

Experimenting with IDFA, it seems that NONE of the weapons use the ammo that's shown in the regular HUD. You need to tell people that they have to expand the screen to use your custom HUD.

Also, as the new weapons don't use the regular ammo, dropped ammo clips are useless, so the pistol runs dry really quickly.

I also note that, although I can pick up the super shotgun in Doom2's Map 2, I can't access it once I move to a different weapon. I can't move to it with nextweapon/previousweapon, and I can't access it through "3" on the keyboard. If you're not going to use the super-shotty, you could

What else? I think that thirty hand grenades is, maybe, just a fraction too many. I think that four would be about right.

The good news? It looks good. Your re-loading animations look right, and your sounds seem nice and crisp.

Keep up the good work.

[DoomerMrT]

Thanks for the info,but as I said before,this is only a beta.And of course,on the doom 2 maps you won't find any ammo for the weapons,you need to idkfa them.And also,the super-shotgun haven't replaced yet.(and many other wpns)Thank you for your opinion,I will do what I can.

[David Ferstat]

... If you're not going to use the super-shotty, you could

...

That should have been:

If you're not going to use the super-shotty, you could remove the graphics and pick-up message.

I hit "Submit" just that little bit too soon.

[DoomerMrT]

I will replace all weapons,so there won't be any problems like that.

[David Ferstat]

A sudden thought ... in singleplayer mode, will we be able to equip German weapons? I ask because, when playing MoH:AA, or the CoD games, I usually swap to the German weapons if I can, because often they're rather better that the ones I'm issued with, especially the British ones.

As an example, if I have a Thompson, I'll grab an MP40 as soon as possible, because, if nothing else, it's got a bigger magazine. If I have a bolt action rifle, or a 8-shot Garand, I'll go looking for a Gewehr 43, or, if available, an MP44.

I'm presuming that German weapons will be available in the multiplayer maps, but it would be great to have them in singleplayer also.
