This is a new mod I'm working on based on a Half-Life mod I play called The Specialists ( http://www.specialistsmod.net/ ). I am converting the weapons into their respective weapons that would be in the mod. Note: the SPAS will be the Mossburg 500.
OK Alpha testers are almost full! I need 1 or 2 more.
About alpha testers. I know I may have sent a few of you outthere the weapons, but from now on I am not sending any more people just the weapons. So far there are 3 alpha testers:

Myself
DracroniC
RAMBO-CHILE-
Serial Killer!!!!! [:D]


NEW News (10/16/03
Ok, I know its been almost a month since the last update, but school has been keeping me busy and so have other things. This weekend I will probably get 2 or 3 more weapons done. Look below for the new Baretta Centurion that is replacing the usscom.

OLD (9/28/03) news!
Ok SK gave me a BUNCH of sounds, so now all the gun sounds and a few other sounds are all custom! It sounds like TS itself [:D]. Everyone give a round of applause(not applesauce) to SK! This mod just keeps getting better and better!


I am looking for three or four more testers. I will ignore all people that want to alpha test that IM me on AIM or MSN. You must email me and tell me about your modding experience(I would like atleast some knowlage under your belt).
RAGING BULL! NEW
Thanks to SERIAL KILLeR who will now be helping me with the mod. He made a VERY nice Raging Bull! Heres the screen of it.

Enjoy. I REALLY need help with sounds, and some other misc graphics (smoke, fire, explosions).

Sam's(me!![:D]) Photoshop Tips

1. Start out with the pencil tool at about 800 zoom. A tablet (can be seen here http://www.wacom.com) is VERY handy at this point. If you dont have a tablet I would reccomend atleast 1200 zoom.
2. Find a reference.
3. DON'T trace the reference image. Do your own interpratation of the weapon.
4. Use the square marquee + channels to block out major parts of the gun. Ex. Grips, Midsection, Stock, and Barrel.
5. Use the pencil tool at about a 2-3 px size for large fill jobs. Then use it around 1-2px in size for shading.
6. When you colour DON'T ( I don't know how much I can stress this ) use plain colours. Colours always have some type of tint to them. In real life, black is never black. Remember, black always has some colour. If there is a black part on the gun its usually a shade of teal and/or blue. When you go to select the colour the lil circle that shows what colour is selected should be in the lower right section. To get lighter values move it up and to the LEFT. Then with the 1px pencil tool shade. Remember there should almost always be a darker value above and below your highlight value.

Hope that helps ENJOI!


If anyone knows some good gun reference sites please please please tell me. If anyone else wants to help with this mod please feel free to contact me. I would like some help on the players, and/or weapons.

LOL! I am not god at all. I have a question for all you modders out there. Can I increase the size of the weapons just a tad about 2-3px height wise?? I had the mossenburg done, but then photoshop crashed on me.... GRRRR! Oh well I'll have it done in like 3 hrs prolly. Depends when I restart it. Also I was thinking about changing the mp5k into the H&K pdw because the mp5k is already kind of wrong. Heres what the PDW looks like http://www.specialistsmod.net/media/weapons/smg/pdw.html . I REALLY need somone who has some sounds. I will try to contact the developers of the mod and ask permission to use the sounds.

Also, I will be posting works in progress on my server you can see them here: http://halffull.arch-nemesis.net/SD/ .

One more thing. TRY THE WIP'S AT YOUR OWN RISK they generally have stray pixels ;)

Ok I have the mossenburg 500 about 2/3 done. Heres a quick WIP!!!!!!!
[IMAGE]

Give me feedback. The mossenburg is kinda blueish because of the metal used. And the teal is the real mossenburg's pump color!

If you want me to I can write a tutorial on how I do my guns ;) I would LOVE to!

[EDIT] as for the weird kind of shading. I am trying to cut down on the number of colors used :)

I am VERY pleased to bring you..... *drum roll* The Mossenburg 500 shotty!
It took about 3hrs of constant work (not kidding), but ITS DONE![:D][:D]

Heres the high res!!!![:-devil][:-devil]

Heres the ingame!!!![:D]

Comments PLEASE![:D]

I tested it in game it looks AMAZING! :D

It looks like someone in here is making a superb mod...

The people who never had the ability to play HalfLife (despite their crappy hardware), like me, can finally have the intense feeling of a halflife-battle experience !

4 faded roses, a fine beaujolais and a Tiroler hat for this man !

Thanks, well I hated the normal muzzle flash it looked like CRAP. Sooooo I made a sweet ass realistic one! Next up I am going to make one for the desert eagle.
ZIP FILE (extract into the weapons-gfx folder and overwrite both files)!
http://halffull.arch-nemesis.net/SD/flare.zip

Tell me what you think of them. Next up will be the mp5k into the H&K PDW Give me a while this one is hard. As it is pretty tall and I have to get it all to fit.... Should be interesting. Also, if you want the weapons so far contact me.

I'm now going to shower, pop another caffine pill and prolly make another gun.

its what i say, YOU'RE GOD!!!!!!
haha

Ok, I didn't shower yet but I got the urge to make a kick arse muzzle flash for the desert eagle!

Desert Eagle[:-devil][IMAGE]

All other guns (avalible at the previously posted ZIP file):

With the five-sevens as the desert eagles its pretty damnd cool cause the five-sevens are longer then the desert eagle so it looks like the fiveseven's tips are engulfed in flames!

Ohhhh! Now this looks good! I can't wait to see the finished version! Good work Smurf, hope the final version is as good as it seems it will be!

Nice, although some weapons are almost the same as the original ones.
Anyway Smurf i suggest edit your main post instead of making 30k posts in one thread or i'll smurf ya -.-

Hopefully the size of weapons doesn't ake it so you can't play online

This mod is looking good.... keep up the good work SMurfy

you are the pwnage! keep going man

yayyy a smurf is actuallly doing something naw good job Smurf :P talk to me on mSN about the mod

The Mossenburg looks very cool, as do the other weapons.

You're definately staying true to The Specialists mod. Can't wait to d/l this!

those guns are prity cool

5 sevens and ak look amazing well done and i hope u finish it soon so we can all download and the humanoid typhoon just a note i dont think u are allowed to have animations in your signature

Sorry guys, shcool has made me VERY busy and so has this :) http://halffull.arch-nemesis.net/tab/ My new wacom intuos2 9x12

ROFL!

you some kind of rich kid or something?

No, I just chose to spend my money on it.

zZzZZzz [8D]

GRRR why can't I view these pictures! Everyone likes em and I wanna see too >=(

Yeah, I don't have a host anymore... also school keeps me really busy.

The weapons look realy nice
But at deviantart the images arent displayed at the right size and then they look kinda wierd.
Does anyone else have this?
U know u can upload the images to this forum:
http://soldatforum.dnagames.net/member_uploaded.asp

Hey smerf, i could help you out with some sounds, i have over 500 from different games etc. Im packed chock a block.

wtf m16 replaceing Ruger wut happend military can only afford 4 round clips????

I spose its better than 4 square clips :P

Nice wrk smurf. Im gettin tired of all the mods with realistic weapons, they are all morealess the same.
You guys need some imagination. Just you wait for my special project :)

skip school :p and continue the good work =)

School suckz, just go chill at home ay =/
With all the money u make with this mod from michal wanting 2 adopt it, u won't need school no more....
---
Maybe michal aint that rich, nore will he buy your mod. :/ Sorry

lol

Not true. There is a vast difference in quality between all the 'realistic' weapons mods. I don't think it shows lack of imagination, just an appreciation of real weapon models.

the mod is awesome!! :D

ya this mod is cool i love the feeling of Ripping up soldats with that beastly sounding and looking Mp5 o wait maybe because i am rippin them up :P

here is a little tip for you, outlined the weapon on the weapons selection menu with black.

I like the idea for the Raging Bull in place of the Ruger, I just hope it feels right when the mod is released. ;p

Is the M16 going to remain in the Barret position? It seems wierd to me.

why can't i download this mod?

why can't i download a thing? not
anything

omg i love the Specialists mod for HL now its coming to my other fav game!

The stocks on almost all of your guns are either to big or too small. Work on all the stocks. Shotguns and rifles...

Yeah, I know that most of them are short. When your in game you really can't tell.

That looks cool as hell! (Dont know what hell looks like though.)

when will this be ready for download?

YOW!
Nice!

Although, it's Mossberg not Mossenburg ;)

Nice update. Can't wait for this to come out man.

nice mod..o.o im hungry..|goes to find food|

I'm anxious already!

i want to dl and get it ready for my modchanger

This mod looks great, and, is the fourth mod i've ever seen with the five-sevens
in it. Two of the other ones were mine, and I cant remember the third. =) One of the first mods I've wanted in a long time.
