Will the pack include 3ds files?
The pack contains the Max files for version 6 and greater as well as pre-exported dts files. Skinned meshes with animations are a little tricky to convert to other file formats. The weapons minus animations could easily be made available in other formats (3ds/obj etc).

Will you have different firing positions? ie, will a sniper rifle still be fired from the hip?
Are you referring to first person or third person? If first person, watch the video to get an idea of default positioning. Keep in mind the pack comes with a weapon editor which enables you to modify the position of the weapon in game through a GUI. Don't forget that the sniper rifle will primarily be fired through the scope (there is no crosshair for the sniper rifle to encourage this). Third person positioning can be whatever you want it to be, with the use of arm threads.

We didn't think there would be any interest in our pack since the release of the ModMaker pack. I still reckon our code is superior to whatever the ModMaker pack gives you.

Just need a little time to sort out some encryption to prevent cowboy bandits from stealing our work.

There will also be a downloadable demo released so you can 'try before you buy'.
The only thing we're charging you for is the actual weapon models/textures. The scripts and particles are free, as well as an entire fps test level (various dif buildings and textures and dts static shapes, skybox etc). The pack also includes all the required weapon sounds however these are not free for commercial use.
