We are looking for members for the dev team for a new mod for BF1942. This mod will put the player int he shoes or a Union or Confederate solider during the American CIvil War. The mods working name is Battlefield 1862. There will be infantry combat with rifles and pistols along with melee combat using your rifles as clubs, bayonets, and sabers. Tehre will be horses (cavalry), wagons, artillery (cannons), gatling guns, ironclad ships, submarines, ground battles, naval battles, etc. We will recreate real battles and make scenarios for other possible battles. This mod aims ot be realistic, like DOD, a team shooter. there will be stamina, recoil, etc. you can drop or pick up weapons. you can use vehicles or other weapons. for infatry combat, we are looking at "Morale/Force" and "Mutineer" meters. "morale/Force" would bvasically be: when you travel with other players you have better accuracy, stamina, reloading times, etc. As for the "Mutineer" meter, that would enforce team play, and would be client side. If an officer gave an order and you didnt do it your Mutineer meter would rise and once you were topped off, anyone on your team can TK you for mutiny.

We are looking for people who would be interested in working on this mod. please email me at vanderli@attbi.com and/or post your ideas and comments, etc here. thanks

looks hard, but this should be in the mods section.... i dont know it would take a wjile to do that.. modeling the horses, making em look right.. personally, i dont think u have a chance to make it..

morses = horses

socrates · 09-07-2002, 02:58 AM

morses??

anyways if it could be done would be interesting to play

iconicdemonic · 09-07-2002, 05:15 AM

i can make the horses and characters in Poser then export them to 3Dmax then import them into RFA explorer hopefully. i have some shots of a quick early build of a confed i made in poser when I was bored

sounds cool. That confederate troop looks good, a little discoloration though. This will be Very hard to complete though.

iconicdemonic · 09-07-2002, 06:08 AM

thanks for the input. that confed troop is just a quick thing i made. the one in the actual mod will be more detailed and will have authentic clothing, etc. yes, i think the mod may be hard to make, but i think it would be worth it. i dont think anyone has made a fps based on the civil war.

Nestea · 09-07-2002, 07:16 AM

Sounds like a cool project, I would definitely volunteer if I had a single skill that might be of use. :P

iconicdemonic · 09-08-2002, 12:15 AM

Here are shots of another cenfed soldier

iconicdemonic · 09-08-2002, 02:51 AM

cavalry

Karikaru · 09-08-2002, 04:14 AM

wowser! i envy people with 3d modelling skillz :/

Grumman · 09-08-2002, 05:06 AM

NICE WORK! I like how on the first Confederate his clother are torn at his knee and you can see skin, and same with the cavalry guy. It's supposed to be like that right? Probably not but I like it! :P And the horse, wow. Nice.

Nestea · 09-08-2002, 07:48 PM

Ionic: What program did you use to model those?

I am looking into learning modeling, for an upcoming project of my own. Thanks.

Kassel · 09-08-2002, 07:58 PM

very nice looking, only thing is that make sure u don't get them looking like cowboys

iconicdemonic · 09-08-2002, 08:35 PM

i used Poser 4 to model and pose them, then I will export them to 3dmax then import those into RFA explorer after they are ready.

Anyone wanna join the team?

maverick514 · 09-08-2002, 09:03 PM

i would really want to, and now im convinced thta this is a VERY cool idea, but i dont know how to model or texture or program, so that takes me out.. but i could test it for you when ur nearly finsihed, looks really good so far, how long does it take you to make one of those models?

Ant · 09-08-2002, 10:10 PM

U got a site up??

Grumman · 09-08-2002, 11:12 PM

I'd help you in any way, shape, or form but I dont know crap about all the technical stuff in computers. If you need me to do something simple I'd do it
