1960s Canadian Army Faction.

[main dome]

Finally sitting down and working on a cold war Canadian faction.

The first part of the project will be implementing weapons for the faction.

Weapons will include.

• C1 rifle (FN FAL)
• C2 automatic Rifle (FAL Modified for the role of • Squad Automatic weapon)
• Browning Hi-Power.
• C1 Submachine Gun (Sterling SMG) need help with animations for this weapon
•M72 LAW.

Future additions will include unique player models based on the uniform worn during the time.

If you would like to help with this mod. Feel free to DM me.

Marksman role will most likely not come around until I can find or make a Parker-Hale M82 rifle

Just realized that we got the mp18 so I won't need to make new animations for the sterling

Means a ww2 British faction is also on the table. So I'll see how this goes

work begins

rigging

[bleak swan]

nice!

is the C1 FAL the only gun youve got modeled so far?

[main dome]

main post has all the ones i will be adding in the release

[main dome]

got it into Unreal. i'll work on it more tomorrow

Suggestion: make the bandage a maple syrup bottle.

(Apologies. I have an idea for a Canadian WW1 faction if it interests you.)

[main dome]

You'd probably give the officer a Webley revolver, have 2 rifleman classes. One with the SMLE No. 1 Mk3 and the other with the Ross rifle Mk3. A squad machine Gunner with a lewis gun. Assault class would be given an M1911 and a marksman would be given the Ross rifle with a scope.

If they add melee weapons you'd probably wanna give the assault class a club or bayonet

[glass panther]

Actually, I was going with the following:
Officer with an M1911 (for convenience, and it's not actually ahistorical).
Rifleman with the Lee-Metford (or SMLE).
Medic with the same rifle.
Machinegunner has the Huot automatic rifle (which is ahistorical but I find it cool).
Marksman uses the Ross rifle because that's the only thing it was actually good for.

Had no plans for an Assault class though.

nothing brings me an ego boost like learning how to do shit like this

(teaking is required but this is fire

[queen edge]

DAYUM! this is something new, looking forward to this!

[main dome]

browning time

[main dome]

proper mag capacity

[main dome]

don't think sterling will be coming in this mod unless i can find someone to make custom animations for it

[rich cape]

I have some experience with cascadeur, send me the files and I'll give it a shot

[main dome]

what files are you needing?

[rich cape]

Any basic 1st person anim files, the models for the sterling and magazine

3rd person char model for ref

[main dome]

would the base MP18 anims do? since that was the default one's i was using

[rich cape]

Absolutely. I will just alter them to the new model probably,

[main dome]

alrighty

[main dome]

PM (not perfect but close enough for our preposes)

[rich cape]

Sterling SMG, still a bit janky but not terrible

[cursive vigil]

ok this is getting beautiful

[cursive vigil]

do you use a control rig/IK rig?

[main dome]

Reloading lore:

[rich cape]

I use cascadeur which has to be the easiest way to learn to animate. I rigged it (took two seconds literally) and I've been creating the animations for certain frames and curving between them to fill in the gaps

[rich cape]

I use IK as well

This animation has lots of jittering still, I need to smooth out the curves and space some things out to make it feel more impactful but first I will be doing some other animations

[rich cape]

Thats probably the last one

[cursive vigil]

Comments:

• needs a bit more spring
• the gun will rattle because of bolt bumping back and forth

[rich cape]

its not a sten

the muzzle tends to ride higher which i made happen in the animation

[main dome]

Lil bro got a promotion 🙂

[rich cape]

Just realized that I never made the bolt go into battery at all, speaking of spring. Have to fix that

[main dome]

Squad Leader

[main dome]

Voice demo, (voices from day of infamy)

[main dome]

mod is nearing it's first release, the only need is for the sterlings FP animations. future additions will see the M72 and P&H M82. aswell as proper third person animations for each weapon

This mod will hopefully be the stepping stone to even more mods

[rich cape]

More jiggle, spring added

[main dome]

Modding this game makes me wanna scream sometimes lol

(M40 animations BTW, almost perfect but the bone placement fucks me over)

[main dome]

The animation will probably stay like this for the foreseeable future because it is barely noticeable in first person. Only viable when zooming in on the scope.

[main dome]

Alright here are the items each squad member will have.

SL: FN C1, Hi-Power, M67, M18, Bandages.

Rifleman: FN C1, M67, M18, Bandages

Automatic Rifleman: FN C2, M67, M18, Bandages, Ammo bag

Medic: Sterling SMG, M18, bandages, med bag

AT Rifleman: Sterling SMG, M67, M18, bandages, AT-4 (not period accurate and will eventually be replaced by the M72 Law)

Marksman: parker Hale M82, Hi-Power, M67, M18, Bandages.

[main dome]

Question, should the marksman role receive a Hi-power?

load out selection nearly finished

[queen edge]

yes

[sage mauve]

yes

[main dome]

When vehicles are eventually added to the game officially. I may attempt to add a Centurion tank

also just created LOD's for all custom assets so when the mod launches it should run pretty well
