Topic: Cod 5 VietNam Mod

Posted by Zeroy on the RGN forums:

Zeroy sent me a pm to start mapping for his mod. Looking forward to it. 

The mod isnt aim to be a Total Conversion as many assets from CODWaW are still present but I guarantee that it will provide a different experience. Although this project is getting a little more serious than anticipated its really done for the Fun, as I did with my 2 previous mods Tactical night & RSM in COD4.


So whats in store?

Well, complete new Menus with 5 class per side - the 2 sides being US Marines VS Vietcongs/NVA of course and a nice list of weapons (will create a separate post for those).

In addition to these primary weapons both teams will carry a secondary weapon, Colt M1911A1 for allies, Tokarev TT-33 for axis. Each team will also carry 4 perks and extra Inventory Item (like Bettys, satchel or Binoculars).

Add to this *almost* new player models for each team, i say almost since the models are from CODWaW but unseen in MP game yet. Custom skins of course for all of the above - courtesy of Buster from TheCompanyHub - + weapon skins.

When it came to the maps it appeared cleared that Japanese maps would not cut it, even worse for the Russian themed map we have Stock. I then though that it would be a lot better to have a few custom maps build around the mod itself so myself/Wakka/Ray & Narcozz are already working on 2 separate jungle themed maps.

For server admins there will of course be option to set by class the perks, secondary weapons and inventory Items plus much more basic options as well.


How far are we?:

We have been working on this mod for the last few months and so progress is good:

- Custom Menus [95% done]
- HUD customizations [90% done]
- Weapon import [100% done]
- Main mod coding (menu + other functionalities) [70% done]
- Player models creation/setup [100% done]
- Skins for weapons/players [90% done]
- mapping [WIP]

the mod is already running great as alpha and is currently bug-free as far as coding is concern (thats a relief!).
