*NEW VIETNAM MOD IDEA! NEED MUCH HELP!*

Pvt. Johnson · *NEW VIETNAM MOD IDEA! NEED MUCH HELP!* - 08-21-2002, 10:13 AM

M16: Hey, Im new to the Allied Assault community but am very interested in modding. Anyway, I was thinking of a mod the other day and I thought of a idea to create a Vietnam War mod. I am going to help collect the information, draw the charachters and levels and recruit helpers. But as you can read, that's not enough to make a mod, so I need skinners/ mappers/ sound creators/ and WEB DESIGNERS and a bunch of other people with enough skill to help create this. If you are interested in joining the mod team, please ICQ me at 166777141 or send me a private message at allied assault.com. And if you dont want to join but give an idea, please post your idea on the board here. Alright, well thanks for reading this and I hope I see you designing this mod very soon! fire1:

Uh Sorry to disappoint you but there's a 3D shooter coming up end this fall called Vietcong. The graphics until now are awesome.
Further more, you can't import a model in MOH, so no M16 no M3 grenade launcher for you . In the end , there is not much you can mod with MOH except making maps in WOII western front style ( and a bit of desert too)

Pvt. Johnson · 08-21-2002, 12:47 PM

M16: I think its possible. Anyway, MoH:AA is always been based on WW2 so to completely revise it will be a pretty cool experience. Im not going to import models either. I figure will get some artists change the look of the gun manually. Anyway, still looking for replies. Please post your comments.

The closest you can get is the Stg44 look like a AK47 but that's about it.
There's no weapon that even vaguely resembles an M16 or a M60.

The idea itself is cool but practically impossible. Maybe you should do something like the guys from Pacific Theater [url:50799]http://www.planetmedalofhonor.com/pt/About.htm[/url:50799], at least you get the jungle bit done. If ever the SDK get released, than can you use custom weapons and models and finish off the mod.

BTW this is what I mean with a realVietnam shooter

Link me to that Vietcong site

Hey, if I have too I'll prove you guys. Please help me. Its not going to hurt for you to try something new. And not everyone will buy this Vietcong game. All im trying to do is allow the tired WW2 Moh:aa players get a taste of something new. The whole M-16 issue we can find out. Nothings impossible. Just give this mod a shot before you kill off the whole idea. I have already started to design skins. My ICQ can be found in the first post if your interested in helping with the mod.

Akuma · 08-21-2002, 04:44 PM

It just cant be done with out the SDK. Its not like were doubting you it just cant be done yet.

Pvt. Johnson · 08-21-2002, 04:47 PM

Then it looks like Im solo on this project. No experience but I'll do it unless someone can give a little support.

Pvt. Johnson · 08-21-2002, 06:21 PM

Cool News! I just started designing skins for the Mod and their looking great. I am having a problem with the americans at the moment though because of the whole M-16 except i did find a way I could turn the BAR into a M-16 I think (no kidding). Im going to wait to start the North Vietnamese side. I want to concentrate one thing at a time. I am still looking for health because this project is going to be huge for one person to handle and if you want to see it out this year... I will need some good help putting the mod together and mapping. Talking about mapping though, I did start planning out a level based on "The Battle of La Drang" a.k.a. the whole WE WERE SOLDIERS movie. The objective will be for the Americans to charge into the enemy territory and destroy their 2 radio transmitters before 10 minutes runs out. Their will be a American area were soldiers will respawn. I might have them spawn in the safe zone (Not that safe) out of no where until the SDK comes out. Then I can update the map with helicopters where the soldiers respawn. The North Vietnamese will spawn outside or inside a bunker that goes underground (Also like the movie). This is where I need mappers. The respawn will be non- stop like Omaha because this level will be a very quick level for the Americans because of the mounted North Vietnamese MGs on the top of one of the hills (The big battle from the movie We Were Soldiers). But anyway, I'm just trying to point out I'm kind of saying I can't do this by myself like I thought I could. lol. I need help so please get back to me on ICQ (located on first post). Thanks! fire1: M16:

Johnson,

BAR into M16 ?? Hmm you miss the handle on the top , how did you solve that then??
Helicopters can be made in the radiant without the SDK. Lowlevel detail but it can be done. It will wreck your FPS though with continously helicopters flying.......

Pvt. Johnson · 08-21-2002, 07:29 PM

M16: God. Can you wait till the SDK comes out for a perfect m-16 and I dont want helicopters flying. I just want helicopters on the ground. Ill start putting up pics as I need them but will you please give me help people! This is not a one man job. Just get back to me. Please. Thanks.

reimer21 · 08-21-2002, 11:59 PM

WOW, that veitcong looks really good! That' something to look into.

Pvt. Johnson · 08-22-2002, 06:04 AM

M16: fire1: The Best News Yet! No offense but Nijnrich don't know much except fr what he saw in WE WERE SOLDIERS. I have actually solved all the weapons that will be in the game except for the sniper rifle and vietnam grenade.

Anyway, the Americans weapons will be:
1.Pistol- M-1911A1 Colt .45in automatic
2.SMG- M1A1 Thompson (Real Vietnam Weapon)
3.Rifle- M1 Garand (Real Vietnam Weapon)
4.MG- M-60 GPMG
5.Rocket Launcher- M20 3.5in Rocket Launcher
6.Sniper Rifle- Yet to be Determined
7.Grenade- Frag Grenade

And the North Vietnamese Well be:
1.Pistol- Tokarev TT33 7.62mm Automatic Pistol
2.SMG- PPSh-41 7.62mm Smg
3.Rifle- Simonov 7.62mm Self Loading Rifle (SKS)
4.MG- RDP- 7.62mm GPMG
5.Rocket Launcher- RPG-7 Rocket Launcher
6.Sniper Rifle- Yet to be Determined
7.Grenade- Yet to be Determined

The reason you dont see M-16 and AK-47 is because they weren't the standard rifles like they are now. When they first came out, they were used for heavy infaltry purpouses only. The guns you see above are all authentic and we'll be all very easy to skin. The mod is suddenly taking a very positive turn on the current basis. Yet I am still looking for help. So, if you'd like to lend me a hand, contact me at my ICQ above in the first post.
