Special Operations Mod
By Field Marshal BM




Notice: Please read this entire post before commenting, so as to avoid questions that are answered in this post. Thank you


Special Operations Mod focuses on the special forces side of modern war, and lets you play as either Allied forces or Terrorists. I Have changed all weapons, added completely new sounds that I have scavanged from my hardrive. (so if you hear a sound that is yours then dont think I'm trying to take credit for it.. I Have also made alternate versions for every primary, and some secondary weapon including silenced versions for some of the weapons. I have also changed the gosteks, and have 10 different gosteks that you can choose from, including two gray scale gosteks, meaning they will show any color chosen. I have also changed the interface, with some of the materials that come with the custom interfaces, and a completely new reload bar interface and cursor, drawn by me. I have also added two custom maps, 3 bots, and many more changes that will change soldat completely (with the execption of a few interface peices I.e deaddot etc). The mod is all put together in Ivan The Psychos mod config, if you don't know how to work it, read the readme privided with the mod. Big thanks to Ivan for creating it! Well I hope you all enjoy this, it took many months of hard work to complete. Any quiestions please PM me, or contact me through AIM. With all that said, on to the mod.

Bots

There are also 3 bots included, and the ability for a new game type with them. To use the new game type, start a Deathmatch, and add 10 or so "a civilian" bots by typing in "/addbot a civilian", then add about 5 terrorist bots, and try to win by only killing the terrorists and not the civilians. It is hard but it can be done, and it is great fun, especialy for those without internet access

1.) A Civilian
2.) A Terrorist
3.) An Undercover Officer




And last, the interface.

Looks good- i wont download it cause i have NO harddrive space left but it looks awesome.

awesome! i will try as soon as i can

Damn, i didnt expect it so early:P As from i see on screens its a lovely update of spec-ops out there;] And the fixed config i promissed:

[URL]

with the icon and bug fixed,sorry for beign late. Maybe you can just add the link to all threads as additional dl. And again sorry:(

Wow, nice work on this one, like the new map and the details on the guns and the funky sounds,
alltough some flashes need to repositioned (mat7).

You never sieze to astonish!
Once again, you have proven youself a king among modders. Good work, hombré.
I'm not gonna download it right away though, since i'm playing with your old one. I gotta say, dual uzi's rock, and the blast sound they do makes you feel like Neo:D
Those are really well made.

holy crap! awesome job!
this is 1337, but i still cant believe that u made this with paint. :S

Thanks to all for their posative comments

Ivan, thank's, to be honest i actualy forgot you were making an update :p

SGT Beaver, well, I actualy made the muzzle flash like that on purpose, because if you look at the interface gun you can see that it has air cooling holes and I made the fire flash out of it ;)

0.0 wow

>:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

IMO this is better than the old one ;) Good Job

Indeed it is, Nookie. What a lovely modification, but why didn't you just put this one to your older thread?

Very nice mod. :)
Love it + I have ur old in MS MECHA PROGRAM, have to update it there.

btw: I'm using ur older mod right now. Awesome.

OH MY GOD(teh OMG)! AMAYZING! STUNNING! MARSHALISH! 1337-I5# !!!
Field, god-o-modders, thank you for that excellent mod, may the MS PAINT be with you!

<3 suicide bomb <3

Hmm. I wish it had an user-friendly installer. And as to the quality of the mod - I was actually convinced to change from MechaSoldat for this!

excellent. only problem i have is with the law replacement .50 cal. the firing to the right has the muzzle flash above the tip of the gun. =\

quote:Originally posted by nfsjunkie91excellent. only problem i have is with the law replacement .50 cal. the firing to the right has the muzzle flash above the tip of the gun. =


Yeah, I cant fix that though :-/ it was'nt designed for a gun


and thanks again to all those for their comments ;)

Did you modify the explosion because I didn't receive that with your mod, also the new knife animation is kind of weird, other than this a pretty solid mod :)

No, that explosion is not mine, and I forgot to change the knife animation back from ivans mod. Look in the knife folder at the animation files, and go into your unchanged soldat folder in the "animations" folder and copy the files that the knife uses and paste them onto the knife

Omg... You are THE JESUS

F*cking HOT. I'm drooling over here man, your modding skills never cese to impress. Currently downloading, yet I'm sure I'll be happy with this mod. That suicide bomb looks awesome! Good job as always.

Is that an American I see using a suicide bomb? Very nice grayscale gosteks indeed. Keep it up.

quote:Originally posted by aznbl00dIs that an American I see using a suicide bomb? Very nice grayscale gosteks indeed. Keep it up.



Yeah, I forgot to switch to the terrorist gostek


And thanks for the input Geo ;)

Very nice sounds, lovely. Almost all nicely fitting - apart from the AK-74u sounds, which sounds a bit too powerfull (would be more appropriate in some HMG) and the .50 cal, which sounds too... wimpy. It should be a bass thudding, like the big gun that announces 'I am the law'. Wonderful weapon menu gfx and mostly well realised on gosteks - tho the MP5s look ein bischien odd. Also, what is that on the gosteks' elbows - looks like some elbow pads, and it looks eenie weenie bit disturbing. Like a soldier who is about to go rollerskating. Or a rollerskater who took up to Soldating. I love the guerrilla gosteks, and the Russian spec ops. The ushanka is a... funny touch.

Ah, last thing. The crosshair. Very nice, but irritating. I know what was your idea, but it's irritating and an obstacle. If you could remove the lower part of the crosshair gfx, leaving just the scope eyesight, if you know what I mean.

That's a 9,5/10 here! I'll be staying with this mod for a while :]

plz stop beeing soe 1337 plz loooollolollo

2d you scare my children.

i like the new map, it looks great and has great gameplay.

oh, yes. now "special" is all clear to me.

hey, i just wanna tell you, this mod is awsome, im new to this site but have been on soldat for about 5 months, and this mod give me a whole different experience when i play it. just saying great job, thanks

I use this mod. It is hot. I love it. LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVEEE IT.

Lol, I love this mod! Everything rocks about it! I especially like the Mini Uzis. My favorite way to play is to change the chainsaw to suicide bomb and add lots of Boogie Men-Kamikaze World!

The interface gfxs are great, as is the configurer. The in game graphics just kill it.

woah.. everything looks so perfect... gotta love that suicide bomb tho :D

quote:Originally posted by LUNATIC COWThe interface gfxs are great, as is the configurer. The in game graphics just kill it.



What do you mean by that? There's only so much I can do with a teeny weapon, I thought I did well with what I had. Aparantly you don't think so?

Some of them are not proportionate to the actual Soldat figure. Others are way to light compared to the Interface gfx. It's just my preference, though. Everyone else likes it. You definately make the best Interface gfx on these forums.

This is a wonderful mod. I downloaded and played immediately last night so I didn't even have the time to post a reply! This mod is purely holy awesomeness.

awesome, completely and totally awesome. i wanna now though, how did you make the suicide bomb have a startup noise? very good work, you have inspired me to create my own weapons with only paint (and maybe photoshop for shading, cuz it makes it a little easier sometimes).

hella nice. although since i downloaded, whenever i start soldat, it opens opera to 403 page...

FMB, your a good modder man but I think your weapons could look a lot better if you ditched the ammo you include when showing weapons and made your interface weapons just a little bit bigger without the ammo there to show off your shadeing.

I cant make it any bigger, otherwise it goes into the other weapons

damn wish i cud use mods, they all look smart, im on crappy S3 graphics, had to find an edited version of wepaon graphics etc on this forum to get the normal ones right, cuz i used to only see half the weapons etc... :(

how do people still have such old equipment? :P

Not quite sure what you mean, please explain a little bit more

okay, when i would open soldat, it'd open and i'd play.
now, starting the moment i downloaded the mod, when i start soldat, my opera pops up with that URL, and soldat. it gets pretty annoying. ANY idea what the hell that's about?

ermm that thigns happenin to everyone.. even withoutt his mod, MM needs to fix it

I realy don't know :-/ I've never heard of that happening, you're the first it happened to. All i can think of is like HT-KaotiK said, sorry :(

A brilliant mod as always, Field Marshal. I recently redownloaded the latest version of Soldat, and just now noticed and downloaded your mod.

A HEARTY THUMBS-UP, MY FRIEND!

After playing it for a while, I've gotten used to, and actually started to like the in game graphics. My previous comments were premature.

That's very mature of you! That's a relief, especially in an internet forum where all opinions are aggressively defended.

ALSO:

DAMN YOU!! YOU MADE A BRILLIANT HTF MAP, THEN YOU DIDN'T WAYPOINT IT?! ARGFHGHGHGHGHGHMSGLJALGNALNKANL;FLAKN FA//

*chews on roller chair*

IT'S SO GOOD!! BUT I CAN'T PLAY WITH BOTS!!! GRAAAAGH!!!

*ahem*

Sorry. I just had to get that out.

Eh. . .:p Yeah, I dont know how to waypoint well, but if somone would like to way point the map and provide a download link I'll include it in the first post *hint* Keron Cist*cough* :D

Bloodyawesome. XD

There's a lot of Kalashnikov weapons in this mod. XD

PS: WWII...I am waiting to kill ze Nazis once again.

Ah, that'd be brilliant! Most HTF maps are abstract, round and huge maps, which I don't like. But this one's a good-old-fashioned flat maps. Good on you!

Needs more Deagle replacements. As nice as the one you provided is, it really sticks out when I run the config program.

Other than that, I guess I owe you something for this.

And the Vulcan DL link is broken.

I agree with xtishereb here. Although okay, the dual socoms are a bit... pants. Another couple of weapons would be most desirable.

Rest is brilliant though.

Just wanted to let you know that I know about this mod, but for a variety of reasons I won't bother relating, I don't want to really jump into it yet. Rest assured, I'd been anticipating it way too much to ignore it completely.

Edit: Alright, I've tried it out, and it is excellent, as expected. However -- please don't take this the wrong way, it's not an insult, I'm just saying so -- while you do good work, you seem really prone to silly mistakes. Please test your mods more thoroughly before releasing them instead of waiting for the people who download it to do it.

That said, here are the flaws I've noticed, most/all of which have probably already been covered.

1. Knife/punch animation is from Mecha Soldat
2. Gunflare for weapon 4 doesn't line up right, regardless of the actual weapon
3. Grenade launchers vanish when dropped.

Great work, though. And thank you for allowing the option to leave the stats unmodded. =P

Thanks for the comments and pointing those out, what would be realy nice is to have beta testers but my mods are usally to big to send over aim/msn. And I play soldat alot but not enough aparently :p I have alot of other stuff to do and it's hard to; plan the mod, make it, perfect it, and trouble shoot it by myself. As soon as I got done with this mod I got back to doing WWII TCS, i started this one to take a break from the monotony of WWII TCS :p and some of the bugs got left in because I moved on so quick.

The next mod i release (WWII TCS) will probably have much less bugs in it because i'm not working on anything else.

Thanks again,

Field Marshal BM

Another thing... Maybe it's just me and I'm not looking hard enough, but maybe you should check it anyway. I was using the Mini Uzi for a while, and I just switched to the MP5... and I'm not seeing a lot of difference between the weapons graphics.

Having a tad bit of trouble with it, so i installed like you said and then set all the weapons, applied. Then i hit play, and nothing happens.

When you say nothing happens do you mean soldat does'nt start or the weapons dont change? Because if the weapons ar'nt changing you did'nt read all of the readme, you have to have the "use modified weapons" option checked in the lower left hand of the config.

If you don't want to use the modded stats, you have to apply once with Use Modified Weapons on, then again without.

Well with the use modded guns check box checked, i hit start, and the screen goes away, and stuck looking at my desktop.

Hmm, you've got me, ask Ivan via PM or Email. It's probably a config issue. You're the first person i've heard of having this problem

Same thing happened with mechasoldat, i swear ive downloaded soldat 10+ times now....

 Quote:Originally posted by CrazyEyeSame thing happened with mechasoldat, i swear ive downloaded soldat 10+ times now....


Well it's definatly the config then. I dont realy know what to tell you besides try contacting Ivan, sorry :/

Hmm i just manually installed, i think i was supposed to run soldat with a -mod xxxxxx, whereas the the x's would be the folder where the files were. Alrighty, nice mod btw :]

BM, you need to add more stuff to this mod, it's very well done and the installer makes it fun :)

I say, This mod is (refrain from swearing) Awesome!!!! This is like the only mod I play now! Good job with everything, but there are a few little things, such as we need more weapons to choose from!!! more guns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is absolutely great, keep up the work!
