The District 9 Project - Developers

[QUOTE=BigBoom;17256356]Dave, you need to make the town seem more of a Shantytown than a poor town. Shantytowns usually consist of shit everywhere the homes built out of scrap and garbage. Nothing should really be built out of one solid block, maybe 4 different blocks with different textures and props to fill in the gaps.[/QUOTE] Fully understood. Theres more detail on the enterable buildings. However im still trying to run a thin line between optimisation and detail.

Hi, how do you install Chesty's models in Garry's mod? I'm kind of a noob at doing these things most of the time I just throw it in the addons and see if it will work.

Update on repeater [img]http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/1329/repeatermodel.jpg[/img]

Don't forget that Christopher carries it into the MNU building and fires it twice, recoil seems to be low and it fires at about 1100 RPM (wow).

[b]MNU First Platoon is very near completion! Expect a release within the next couple of days![/b] What the release will have: MNU First Platoon skin. Bonus variant camo skin (ACU + desert). Multiple head hacks. White IMI Tavor. All hexed! [img]http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8093/gmflatgrass0001q.jpg[/img] Still to do: Get the headhacks. Fix a couple of little errors. Hex the files.

This is all shaping up to be mindfucking epic, keep up the good work!

Add me plz. I am working on the vehicles. [img]http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7841/gmconstruct0100.jpg[/img] It's just a base for now.

I'd like to see someone do some stuff for the Nigerians as well. If this ends up becoming a real gamemode (still in the process of pitching the idea to a community I'm with to see if they'd be willing to offer servers, coders, etc) either DM or RP it'd be nice to have the Nigerians as a sort of third faction.

Would the nigerians just be some headhacks to existing models? Couldn't really work on the skin today, but it's nearing completion as well :D Then to do the stryker.

None of them look Nigerian, not even Fakefactory's. Just slapping on the head of a few casual dark-skinned dudes onto a typical military soldier's body seems kind of lame, don't you think? A lot of those guys also had rolled up sleeves and a few had dreads.

Hm, I was thinking more like slapping some black heads on cod4 militants and modifying their body. Guess that won't really work either.

Militias and gangs usually just dress in street clothes, only really being identifiable as 'the guys with guns' Examples [img]http://www.wvwnews.net/images/teaser/nigerian-gang.jpg[/img] [img]http://images.usatoday.com/news/_photos/2006/10/21/hornafrica-medium.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.nation.co.ke/image/view/-/553110/medRes/71189/-/maxw/600/-/hqlyk2/-/AFR04D_SOMALIA-CONFLICT-_03.jpg[/img] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YddjWHw0c3o[/media]

[QUOTE=Davebrown;17261179]Fully understood. Theres more detail on the enterable buildings. However im still trying to run a thin line between optimisation and detail.[/QUOTE] That's true yeah

The best thing for the Nigerian models would be hacking citizen heads onto [i]Insurgency[/i] insurgent bodies and reskinning them. There might be an issue with scaling though because the Insurgency player models are quite small.

Obviously Louis, and maybe someone could ask the guy porting the Crysis marines for some heads.

Hmm yeah there's only two black citizens + Louis. That is a problem.

yes

Some of the white heads can be skinned black with good result.

[QUOTE=Uberslug;17285124]yes[/QUOTE] Not sure about him. You have to either PM him or talk to him on steam, or he won't reply.

You might be able to find some good heads in Far Cry 2. I don't remember if that's portable or not.

It would be awesome if someone ported guys from Far Cry 2... or better yet, foliage props.

Actually, there are a few skins that give him scars and a beard, a lot scarier, like so: [IMG]http://temple.fpsbanana.com/ss/skins/81024.jpg[/IMG] Maybe making all of the black guys we can find look somewhat like this will work.

[IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/SantzSpirit/2Blackguyslol.jpg[/IMG] Cant see why not? :v: Add a little more blackness to his skin and the 2 piercing and you have the Nigerian boss. Edit: And obviously changing the clothes :P

you trying to say all blacks look the same?

[QUOTE=Adamhully;17288351]you trying to say all blacks look the same?[/QUOTE] You kidding me? A little darker skin and a shorter head and it's a perfect match! [b]Edit:[/b] ok maybe not entirely but pretty damn close...

Something about the prawn's head looks a little off, but I can't tell what it is. It may be too small, but I dunno.

Can you add me the the OP as a memeber, working on dem vehicles. Small update, Chesty's jizzin' on it cuz he is a faget. [img]http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6766/gmconstruct0103.jpg[/img] [list] [*]Removed Commie Star [*]Removed Turret [*] Fixed Headlights [*]Fixed Computer inside [*]All over sexyness [*]Insides are not all white [/list]

Awesome. Then again we could wait for RE5 to release, then hack some black people there.

Can you make sure any MNU models are rigged to the Human/citizen animation please guys, rather than the Overwatch or Metropolice set. Also Male_04 converts into a black male style pretty good. Some higher res stuff I used from a fakefactory pack - [IMG]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/baldrybaldry/Donation%20Models/Male12Rebel.jpg[/IMG] (male 4) [IMG]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/baldrybaldry/Donation%20Models/Male15.jpg[/IMG] (male 3 I think) Sadly the black base > white male idea dosnt work so well, as seen with this awful attempt of mine a long time ago XD [IMG]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/baldrybaldry/Donation%20Models/Male21.jpg[/IMG]
