Nice day! Nice day to kill somebody with absolutely new, brutal, hardcore, expected second version of Scout mod!
Don't look for information about it, don't ask your friends about it, don't examine screenshots, just download and play!

Are you still here?!
All right, I'll tell you something about :)
First of all - designations:
(*) - reworked feature (was in 1.0 version)
(+) - added feature (appears only in 2.0 version)
there are no any designations - there are no any changes in new version

Let's roll :)

Weapons
Desert Eagles -> 2xUSP45(+silencer) (*)
HK MP5 -> MP5 SD (*)
Ak-74 -> AK-103+PBS (*)
Steyr AUG -> SOPMOD M4 (*)
Spas-12 -> M1 (*)
Ruger 77 -> VSS "Vintorez" (*)
M79 -> RG-6 (*)
Barret M82A1 -> SVD (*)
FN Minimi -> USAS (*)
XM214 Minigun -> PKM (*)

USSOCOM -> USP45(+silencer) (*)
Combat Knife -> Combat Knife (*)
Chainsaw -> Machete (+)
M79 LAW -> Arbalest (*)

Stationary gun -> AGS-17 "Flame" (+)
<changed all characteristics of weapons: Interface-gfx, Sfx, Weapons-gfx, weapons.ini>

Skins of players - Gostek-gfx
helm -> band (*)
hat(kap) -> panama
battle make-up (*)
camofluage (*)
nice sun-glasses (+)
special gloves (+)
black boots (+)

(+)Interface(+)
O yeah, now Scout has own unique interface!
No sense to list features because all elements were changed.
See screenshot and play :)

(+)/(*): a lot of other little modifications, for example optimised sfx, fixed bugs, improved weapon balance etc.

Download mod (1.12 MB, zip-archive):
http:
http://www.savefile.com/files/8018447

Just unpack in your Soldat folder. Launch Soldat.exe with parameter "-mod Scout". To see nice interface select "Scout" in Interface style (ingame options) and turn off "Sniper line" (understand later;)
Sight is calibrated for SVD only!

Ffu-u-u...

Be not silent, say anything :)

P.S: I recommend to use Realistic Mode of the game!

P.P.S: thanks to all dudes who helped me by their advices

Including a screenshot would be nice.

it wouldn't merely be nice... it would be mandatory.
this is a quote from the "Posting rules and guidelines" topic:

"Works in progress can be posted here, as long as you have a decent screenshot."

You got 1 day to post a screenshot, or this gets locked.

Hey go easy, not everyone knows how to upload a screenshot (sad but true...). The mod is pretty nice though, I like the camo and the USP45 isnt bad looking either. Other than that, I think I'll stick with the mecha mod guns (copy and paste, dont forget to make a back up).

It is not my mistake: Screenshot URL does not work. I shall try to correct it in the near future.
In any case you can look at screenshot here:[URL]

There is screenshot in mod's archive also.

Not bad... could be better. The weaps are too skiny, IMO, and the silencers aren't proportionate to the pistols.

I've always been a fan of completely modded weapons :D

Good work, and follow Mr. Cow's instructions for future mods.

Thanks, guys!
What do you think about weapon balance?

to LUNATIC COW:
silencers, you say? hm-m ... I'll think about it.

try outlining and shading...
the outining really gives it a much better look.

I don't love cel-shading and I drew weapon pics looking more realistic. Anyhow, thanks for advice.
Probably it is necessary to try different colors for outlining, more original, than black?

to LUNATIC COW:
Now I'm remaking weapons (have already remaked M4, Vintorez, M1), they will not be such "skiny".
P.S.: in our reality the majority of weapons is really "skiny", there's nothing to be done :)

Pfft, fine, give it a 128,160,112 outline if you wish.

Forget about outlining:)
This thing looks not bad in weapon menu, but it is disgusting - in kill list (in upper right corner of game screen). I make outlining in the interface (back.bmp). Owing to it outlining looks smoothly (looks like a halo:), weapons are drawn more precisely, and in kill list weapons is drawn normal (without outlining).
Possibly, I shall upload this only with the new version of the mod :(

lol... you should make the outline on the guns... not on the back.bmp...
