Currently I've been working on my "Alpha Project" which is simply a demo of fetures and resources, only a small amount of what I actually want to see and technically a Pre-Beta Version.
Though I would love to share a Demo Download with some more screenshots, Most of the actual Levels are not setup for play, some of the MG Starter Kit "Placeholder" items are still included, some Unreal 2004 Weapon Sounds are being used, some TAIK weapons are being used and an Unknown Weapon Sounds Pack is also being used strictly for "PlaceHolder" items for me to make sure that the code is going together right.
- Current Features -
Character:
Multiple Character Poses: Stand, Crouch, Prone and Swim
Character Stamina (Upon having no energy player slows down)
AI Setup for Special "Survival" Mode
3D Radar and Other Optics Systems (Optics may not be available due too performance issues)
Inventory System Setup (CoD Type)
Weapon:
Multiple Weapon Zoom and Pose Animations
Weapon Accuracy Based on Current Position and Movements
Weapon Armory System (Incomplete)
Multiple Object Explosions
Weapon "IronSights" functionality
Multiple Weapon StateMacchine's: Semi-Auto, Burst-Fire, Full-Auto and Single-Shot
+ Multiple Other Used and Unused Features
- Content Packs Being Used Currently -
BaG: F.A.C.K.
FX Pack One
RRGTS Combo Pack
- Content Packs Still Needed -
FPS Environment Pack
BaG: M.A.C.K.
Sticks and Twigs Environment Pack
Please Note: These Weapons are STRICTLY Placeholder and are only meant to be used for demonstration of code.
P.S. Images viewable at: csmp.angelfire.com/
btw: Anyone know why angelfire wont show images?... nm angelfire is saying its own images are not available at times, wow I hate html and angelfire.
Setbacks:
MAJOR BUG: Client Cannot Join Server (Client Only Animation Sequence Errors)(--FIXED--)
TankPack and Stryker IAV Script and Model Incompatibilities
Weapons are not truly Accurate, IronSights helps but does not fix the problem
I'm waiting on a friend that owes me to purchase a Weapons Pack so I can get rid of the TAIK "Placeholder" weapons.
Credits go out to everyone that has ever posted a resource, comment or blog on GarageGames, because without all the essential resources and feedback none of this would have been possible.

Thanks, I had some really cool levels in earlier versions of my engines, Though I've decided to get code working before the levels this time.

For modern weapons, you might want to take a look here:

Could be useful!

Thanks for the help though, I'll probably end up using some of those weapons as well!
P.S. I'll end up using those weapons in the meantime most likely.

Edit: from the screenshots, I can see (especially for the RPG and M249), you're using the detail level 1 version of it, which is a stripped-down version for third person. I recommend going into milkshape and using the detail level 0 model instead.

BTW, you can use any of the TAIK weapons as you wish :) You've got my permissionEdit: from the screenshots, I can see (especially for the RPG and M249), you're using the detail level 1 version of it, which is a stripped-down version for third person.

I REALLY Appreciate the use of your models and the LOD advice, as well as the working images... lol.
I'm still very interested in your TAIK Project as well, I hope everything goes well with that and hopefully I can help you out as much as you've just helped me!
Btw: Since you have given me permission to use the models I will try to add some more screenshots of my progress. :)
