[SC4 Sniper Rifle] M40A3 and M24 Sniper Rifle

[[NL]Gordon Weedman]

Well, as you have read already, this is a replacement for Svencoop's sniper rifle. I got it from OP4 Redux, but couldnt find any credits so please mention it if you know who made the original model

CREDITS (so far):

• Model: Redux team (guess)
  Animations: Toadie
  Texture: Redux team (guess)

DOWNLOAD M40A3

i know the thumb is kinda broken, but i spent one hour (yes i really did spend one whole hour) on fixing it, after which i decided it looked good enough to me.

EDIT: kyler requested or suggested or whatever to also port the original OP4 Redux sniper, so ive done that.

CREDITS FOR M24:

• Model: Endorphin, Deadme@t, -X-, Lonewolf
  Skin: SixShooter, Birdhouse, Stoke, Editor321, H4wk
  Animations: Toadie

Animations: Gearbox

Anyhoo, good arm hack.

That's the -original- OFR model, a M24. Then Toadie (most likely) hacked up a M40A3 model, seen here, and made those new anims, again, seen here.

Nevertheless, you should port that M24 aswell. Rig it onto those anims, or the SC4 anims. It's a relatively nice M24 model that's been compiled... oh.. nowhere else. 3:

Oh... yeah.  I remember the original OP4:R Sniper Rifle, it wasn't too hot :X  This however does look very nice

Likewise I imagine these are Toadies animations, and definitely NOT Gearbox (blurg)

well, ok. one M24 for kyler coming up!

EDIT: done! check first post for a M24 on SC4 anims

[KylerAdams]

Good job on the M24. Few suggestions, however.

1, merge faces (ctrl->N) on the back of the mag. select 2 dots + merge them together, do it for the whole back of the mag. Dunno what happened to it, that's the only compile of the base M24 I've seen like that.
2, fix UVs. UV slippage can raaaaep models. This isn't bad, but make sure you move the UVs 2 pixels > over. Decompiling shifts it 1 pixel <, and compiling shifts it a second pixel <.
3, mess around with the bullet/bones. The bullets are supposed to disappear when you pull the mag out during reload1, then reappear when it comes back onscreen (to give the effect that you're actually swapping a dry mag for a full one, rather than just sticking the same one back in).
4, (personal thing I'd do) Merge the scope + lense textures. They're the same texture, only lense.bmp is that texture 2x'd. Not important or anything, just a personal thing I'd do to optimize the mdl and satiate my OCD.

Nice hack. Few bugs, well done.

Curious, why don't you like it?

It's based off the (only) decently modelled M24, and has no real issues to speak of. And it gets squashed by the anims, but anything/everything either gets squashed or looks lol on Gearbox anims.

I haven't seen it in ages so I can't really remember.  I just vaguely remember it being the default texture upscaled to incorporate some brightly coloured overlays.

Been a while since you've played with that M24, then. Check the first post.

good work, man. 10/10

No.
about 4/10.

Credits are mismatched.

Animations on the M24 are my SC4 ones.... and the ones on the M40A3 are my Op4 Redux ones(they suck also)..... and the McMillan Stock on the M40A3 is mine...the receiver on the M40A3 is from Endorphin/Sixshooter's  M24... the scope is a Mueller scope modeled by..... I dunno (FPSB is down at the moment so I can't check).
