NSM Delayed (for 1.2.2)
Soldat Forums - Soldat Interface Mods & Mod Making - Show off your partially 1337 mods!

This is a preview for my upcoming Null Soldat Mod (my first), which contains completely fictional weaponry, as I saw that more or less every TC made for Soldat is based off of something else. This TC is based purely off of my imagination (well, maybe not the weapon menu designs :-P) & 1337 Paint skills B-)

That's the NSM cursor (for some reason I'm just attracted to the default cursor's original color scheme). Note the red hover boxes scattered in a pseudo-3D fashion (the higher ones look like they're behind it), which suspend the humongous, futuristic freakin'-kills-a-soldat-in-three-hits turret. Aside from the SG, this mod brings graphical glory (& .WAVs, too) to the AK-74, the M249', the Barret', & the 'Minigun; I find myself using those more often :-P

I need an interface veteran, for both unreg. & reg. (I'll tell the style I want them organized once someone volunteers; I'll give you credit...). I've already got more or less all the .WAVs & .BMPs for it. It replaces almost all weapon images & sounds (I know nothing of gosteks, and I don't see how the current, perfect soldier body can be improved on).
N9 "Resolution" (sniper replacement):

I came up with all of the fictional weapon names used in this mod (if the N36 Clamian exists in real life, I've never heared of such a weapon), so please don't use them for your own devious purposes without my permission ;-) You can have "Efferton," tho' xP

Weapon designs may look similar to Metal Slug & stuff like that. I got their basic designs (modified 'em a bit) from a total geek at my school who had a huge paper covered with weapon sprites which he said he accumulated over months of 'Net-browsing, mainly from Metal Slug games, Advance Wars, and others. I just borrowed his paper (plenty of times), sketched them onto my own paper, and manually made 'em (although some weapons may have a basic template of others).
AK-74 replacement:

I hope that the Null Soldat Mod/NSM/"that one cool mod" will be used by many players of the community (especially so since I put forth much thought & work into each weapon & not merely base it on some other game, even tho' I have no doubt that nonetheless the Mecha Soldat Mod will still stay more popular than this, especially what with the creator's own management app. & all).

*waits for interface veteran to volunteer*



EDIT Due to the modding potential news Marcinkowski released for 1.2.2 I'll be withholding it 'til the version's released. Due to this also discard the SG pic. above as they can now be vertically asymmetrical!

From the screens, the guns look really good..Can't wait for it to be released!

Anyone want to help me make an even cooler interface? B-) I already have the basic design. I just can't think how a small cluster of 3D bullets can be made, or what icon can represent health other than a cross, or a jet fuel icon other than two power signs, actual jet boots, the soldier from the Military skin, or the biohazard sign :-P

If I understand you right, then this might be able to help with the bullets. Please give credit to me if you use it though.

Yo KC/Keron/'Cyst... I might be able to do some registered interface things (I have absolutely no clue how some of the modders changed the unregistered interface :-|)...

Field Marshal BM, your image is a red box. Sorry, but I don't see how that can help with bullet images xP

so, do you need my help or not? im gettin bored, pls say yes

Keron Cyst
June 16, 2005, 7:04 am
"Yes"... only because you told me to :-P What do you want to help on? The interface? A small cluster of 3D bullets? Righto! :-)

Or you can get to thinking on what a jet icon could be other than Military's or Cabbage's icon, or the default? How about thinking of something to symbolize health other than a cross or a skull & crossbones? :-D Plenty of interface stuff to do around here! xD

Anyone, pitch in. I'll go jumble your name with others' at the very bottom of a Readme that'll be in the Custom Interface folder where no one will read xP

like i said, interface, for unreg, since i'm not regged. and like i said, you need to give me a colour scheme n' suchlike.

@FM: those bullets look 3D enough to me....

Keron Cyst
June 16, 2005, 3:58 pm
They probably are 3D, then; I didn't zoom in and take a better look :-) But they are a tad small, don't you think?

How does the interface work? Are the images centered, or are they based on a set position of the first pixel? If so, I want the design for the unreg. to be:

IN-POST EDIT Aw, dang it, there's no code function on these forums :-/ I'll just go make some piece of crap in Paint, and you can work from there :-P

ok, i'll try.......does th text indicate the bar colour?

Keron Cyst
June 22, 2005, 7:53 pm
Yep. Try to tinge it a little, going from lighter (full) to darker (empty). Make all the surrounding (what the bars are encased in) gray (I'll tweak 'em afterwards).
Rather, make the vest... uh, something other than red :-P I dunno, I can't think today!
Don't worry about the 'nades; it'll have to go with my designs for them anyways. Finally, I'll make up a Ping Dot design as well, so don't worry about that ;-)

like how you want it shaded.

Oh! Er, pretend the sun's at the top-right; light in the top-east, dark in the bottom-west. This goes for the bars and their surrounding containers (well, just everything :-P).

well, im working on it, but it's taking time, since my interfaces are usually based on something.

Keron Cyst
July 21, 2005, 5:47 pm
Then base it off of something! Just make sure it's horribly mutilated so that people can't recognize that it's not original :-P
