Tuesday's 4.6 LD Model Patch

Download

I had some spare time, so I cobbled together an LD model patch for 4.6; this is not an 'official' LD pack release, but feel free to download this set and try it out.

Changes:

Cleansuit Sci:
- All scientist heads now LD
- Slight reskins to reflect eerie lighting present on original OpFor face texture

Bodyguard:
- Slight animation fixes
- Now uses new standard LD mp5 / shotgun / minigun

Hgrunt (HL):
- Now uses new standard LD mp5 / shotgun / m4

Hgrunt (OpFor):
- Now uses new standard LD mp5 / m4

Massn:
- Now uses new standard LD mp5 / m16

Robogrunt:
- Now uses new standard LD shotgun / m4

Weapons:
- New standard LD mp5 / shotgun / m4 / minigun p_ models
- New standard LD mp5 / shotgun / m4 / minigun w_ models
- New LD mp5 view model
- New LD minigun view model



Still left to do: Some kind of LD-style Tor replacement

EDIT: My 1337th post. Awesome.

[WAR_Nuker]

great 1337 post. i will have to check it out and update the pack.

for tor replacement, you could probably just do some careful vertex welding and mess with the bitmaps. nothin crazy.

also would like to get LD opfor hands slapped on the weapons for opfor coop.

[WAR_Nuker]

FINALLY after over a year this pack was updated. See first post.

[Jovius]

Minor suggestions:
-replace new muzzle flashes with original ones
-fix Desert Eagle viewmodel (doesn't have sights like the world model does)
-LD roach!

Thanks for this pack, guys. It's great nostalgia.

[TheUnbeholden]

Where is the HD weapon pack for Barney hands?

[WAR_Nuker]

not done. in fact, not started. unless someone else wants to take care of it.

[Eseker]

Can you make these LD models with Opposing Force hands? :P

Hey I'd like to start off by saying thank you to you fine gentleman who took the time to put this together, truly great stuff. I'm here to try and make a contribution, as I myself love original valve content in sven.
I've put together a little pack of weapon model texture/size tweaks all done with just HLMV, naturally. Here's the list of things I tweaked

EDIT: I realize the only really important tweak is the M4 P W and V reskins, all the rest are just out of personal preference. :] Enjoy

- Gearbox M4A1 (the only important edit): reskinned the P / W models to have the gearbox m4/m203 textures; reskinned V model arms and very lightly tweaked the M4 skin; editted all enemies to have reskinned m4


LESS IMPORTANT STUFF
- 9mmhandgun: reskinned P / W to match V model

- Gluon gun: reskinned V to match P model

PERSONAL PREFERENCE CRAP
- 357: P model resized so it doesn't look like a toy gun; Less obnoxious blue tint on P / W models;replaced blue chrome in V model with gearbox 357 chrome

- Crossbow: resized P to match V model

- Barnacle: resized P to match V model

- Satchel: resized P to match V model

- Tripmine: resized P to match V model

- Medkit: resized P to match V model

nice idea! i think this should be part of the ld pack!

[the-middleman]

There is something wrong with the human_grunts. It happens when they shoot...

[WAR_Nuker]

generally that will only happen on a handful of custom maps. ive seen it too.

[the-middleman]

So how do I make my map not custom

[Lt.JC]

So how do I make my map not custom

Did you replace the Human Grunts in your map with the low def ones or did you install the low lef Pack into your Svencoop folder?

[the-middleman]

Replaced them in the map. I want to put them into the map download

[Lt.JC]

You can try this one. Don't know for sure if it helps with the error but if yes I know what the problem is because I had this myself before.

[the-middleman]

That model seems to work. Thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WAR_Nuker]

You can try this one. Don't know for sure if it helps with the error but if yes I know what the problem is because I had this myself before.

please explain, as this might be useful for an LD pack update. i suspected it might have to do with differing skeletons but wasnt sure. this happens on a handful of custom maps that use custom versions of old models.

[Lt.JC]

Well I wanted to see if it works before saying where the problem may be but afaik the hgrunt01 02 and 03 models are the problem.

I don't know whats exactly causing it but in most cases when I deleted the $sequencegroupsize 64 entry from the .qc it helped to get rid of that animation error. There was some combine grunt model a few years ago that had the same problem and after I made that change it worked fine.

I also made sure $externaltextures is gone but I don't know if thats necessary I just hate having a lot of files for one particular model

[Loulimi]

Did it always work for the 4.8? (Sorry for the old thread)

[Nih]

I am 99% sure it will work with 4.8 if it worked with 4.7.

[Sven Viking]

Well I wanted to see if it works before saying where the problem may be but afaik the hgrunt01 02 and 03 models are the problem.

This is correct, by the way. The easiest way to solve it would be to compile the model as a single mdl file without 01.mdl etc. (Separate textures are fine, though not sure they're useful for anything in this case)

[Tuesday's Avenger]

Did it always work for the 4.8? (Sorry for the old thread)

Yes, I've been messing around with the LD pack as-is, and as far as I can tell from experience / reading the changelog, it should be fully compatible with 4.8
