March 1, 200917 yr Author SPAS12...FUN! It is already in vanila UFO AS. You`ve probably ment USAS? ))
March 2, 200917 yr Author Here are some shots of human survivor troops (pre-cultists and cultists first encounter 'eras'). Survivors commander in retextured med armor:https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/comm1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/comm2.jpg Chest plate and leggins are decorated in green and red paint. There is another variant of this armor looking much like laputian medium armor. This armor is used only by commanders and is slightly better than ordinary medium armor. Survivors heavy support troopers (m249, r700, m79, m60): https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/hvy3.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/hvy4.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/hvy5.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/hvy6.jpg Trooper with r700 is using retextured light armor (just a variant with the same properties). All troopers are either carrying backpack or not. This is also just a cosmetic improvement. Female medics are now equiped with better weapons and light armor. Providing survivors with such variety of advanced weapons made assaulting their territories quite difficult even for experienced and well equiped troopers
March 2, 200917 yr Author Mutants. New morelman and muckstar 'hides'. Once again just a decoration: https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/morel1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/morel2.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/muck1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/muck3.jpg New drone heavy weapons (can be used only by defender chassis): Browning machinegun (.12 cal). Extremely long range for machinegun class. Fires 4 shots per burst. https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/drone02.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/drone05.jpg Minigun (5.56). Extremely fast fire rate. Fires 10 shots per burst. https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/drone03.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/drone04.jpg Drone plasmagun (replaced model) https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/drone01.jpg And just a 'picture of the day' - laputian trooper with plasmagun (thermal sight and tactical laser) https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/pic1.jpg Few notes:- drone heavy weapons will be available for cyborgs but at a cost of lower accuracy, longer aiming times and shorter range. As advantage cyborgs will be able to reload their weaponry and use other equipement.- survivors, cultists and militia will be equiped with better weaponry as game progresses (ending with gauss and warp weapons in the end of the game).- mutants (not reticulans) wont be able to use firearms. They are beasts after all!- cultists and militia are planned to use drones. Not sure if this is possible, but i`ll try it.- militia is planned to include psionics and cyborgs (with cyborg-only weapons). P.S.: almost forgot! All conventional firearms (and some energy) use new sound efects for shots.
March 2, 200917 yr When this mod is finished, Okim will craft an Afterlight mod for Aftershock. ( <- Humanbeast)
March 2, 200917 yr "Pic of the day" looks very good . And yes, the USAS was what I meant. I generally enjoy shotguns like the SPAS12 and USAS though...
March 4, 200917 yr Author I generally enjoy shotguns like the SPAS12 and USAS though... Specially for you some shots of new shotgun models https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/spas.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/spas1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/spas2.jpg https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/usas.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/usas2.jpg New grenade launcher - rg6. (this model is slightly modified to fit in aftershock) https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/rg6m.jpg
March 4, 200917 yr No thanks. I don`t like Afterlight.I wouldn't say I don't like AL, but Aftershock is my prefered among the 3.I'd like an AS with the trashy mood of AM, the planes are missing too, and with many cool tweak features from AL (exemple you can zoom and rotate the toons in the preparing inventary window).I hope for a fourth AfterX one day.. (without Starforce & co). I can't bear the X-com/Extraterrestrial turn-by-turn now..---------------------Hey this new shotgun (1st pictures) seems VERY long!

March 5, 200917 yr Author I finaly was able to spot human commander in var.2 medium armor. All i need now is to hunt down cultist commander to show you https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/comm4.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/comm5.jpg Does anybody know how to work with UFO AS animated models? I`m trying to fix a drone problem that occurs with my mod - drones are retracting their weapons from the hull and my new weapons are just too large to fit inside the drone What i need is to fix position of drone 'arm' in deployed stance.
March 5, 200917 yr This tool may provide you some information? If not, Stucuk may know something at least.
March 5, 200917 yr Author I already use this one, but it doesn`t seem to be able to work with animation. BTW, is there a way to import AS models into any normal editor rather than Milkshape? It imports only AM models and ignores AS ones.
March 5, 200917 yr Not that I know of sadly. Best bet would be to ask Fulby for the source of the Aftermath Milkshape import/export plugin or talk to Stucuk about possibly expanding his tool with this.
March 6, 200917 yr Author I doubt that they will bother creating an exporter for AS Here are some shots of new pistols and machineguns. Glock-18. Light 9mm pistol. Better used in burst mode (5 shots!). https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/glock2.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/glock1.jpg USP. This .45 Acp pistol can be equiped with all muzzle attachements and a tac laser. It has better range, accuracy and damage than glock. https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/usp2.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/usp1.jpg RPK. Light machinegun. Has bad accuracy and short range, but high damage. The only MG capable of single fire (not sure if this is really needed). RPK is the main MG of Cultists. https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/rpk1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/rpk2.jpg PKP Pecheneg. Replaces PKM. Advanced 7.62x39 machinegun. Good fire rate, moderate accuracy, high damage, medium range. https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/pkp1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/pkp2.jpg
March 7, 200917 yr Author Sonic Gun (close range weapon). https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/sgun1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/sgun4.jpg Sonic rifle (medium range assault weapon. Replacement of ultrasonic gun). https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/sgun2.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/sgun3.jpg
March 8, 200917 yr MELEE WEAPONS: without change (yet). I`ve also planned some advanced melee weapons such as chainsword (hard damage), power sword (laser damage) and power fist (plasma damage). I`ll see if these weapons are worth spending time.If no melee weapons, you will angry comandos.Melee weapons are cool in Afterlight; and in the end you can use light saber jedi style (I like rushing on matriarchs and kill them in one or two swings).
March 8, 200917 yr Author Can anybody provide me with sound effects for saw and ligh saber from UFO AL please?
March 8, 200917 yr sound effects for saw and ligh saber from UFO AL?These lie in the gamedata.vfs file in the 'UFO Afterlight' folder.Using the VFS View tool, they are Wave files in Root\sound\tool.These interesting sounds are buzzsaw2, katana_svih1, kulbleskzasahcile, newplasmomet1, noz_svih1 and svetelnymec3. You would find what needed in these, I don't think there are others wanted.I will try to send you them (I never sent anything trough a forum).And, is that legal??
March 9, 200917 yr Author New textures for cultists. Commander: https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/ccom1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/ccom2.jpg Troopers in light armor: https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult2.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult4.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult3.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult5.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult6.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult7.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/cult8.jpg Cultists now use drones with various weapons (from m249 to warp cannons depending on phase). Cyborgs, psionics and militia now use new sets of weapons. Psionics are mainly using salvaged reticulan weapons, projectors and small sidearms. Cyborgs are more dangerous because of variety of heavy weapons and drones (!). Militia was reworked. It now uses all available weapons starting from basic firearms and ending with gauss and warp weapons.Made some preliminary textures for new laputian armors (using so-called Wargotium alloys). These are bright and colorful armors which provide its user a 5-10% bonus to all protections. I`m also considering an idea of chemical-enchancer armors based on cultist suits. These are planned to give less protection than normal suits. The main advantage of these suits is usage of various stimulants as attachments providing its wearer some bonuses (much like cyborg implants). P.S.: finaly found a better utility to compress images without quality loss
March 11, 200917 yr It looks awasome! I hope it will come out soon. AS has gained the position of my favorite in the series, and this mod gives it additional spice!
March 11, 200917 yr Author It looks awasome! I hope it will come out soon. AS has gained the position of my favorite in the series, and this mod gives it additional spice! If everything will be OK i`ll release it after 21-22 of March. Currently everything seems to be OK
March 11, 200917 yr Author Laputian heavy armor. https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/hvy2.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/hvy1.jpg New brainman (or mozghun as it is called by Altar) textures: https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/brain4.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/brain5.jpg Plasma pistol and chainsword. Pistol replaces plasma shotgun.Chainsword is a one handed weapon. It does HARD damage. Not as deadly as katana, but iits advantages make it a great melee weapon nevertheless. https://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/chain1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/ppis1.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/chain2.jpghttps://okim.nickersonm.com/ufo/chain3.jpg After looking at these shots i begin to consider a one-handed dartgun. Just imagine - make just one good shot and than enjoy cutting the unfortunate foe
March 11, 200917 yr Chainsword is a one handed weapon. It does HARD damage. Not as deadly as katana, but iits advantages make it a great melee weapon nevertheless. After looking at these shots i begin to consider a one-handed dartgun. Just imagine - make just one good shot and than enjoy cutting the unfortunate foe Truly a gruesome weapon! Keep up the great work Okim! - Zombie
March 11, 200917 yr Great work with the heavy armour! As for Dartgun, I prefer the more direct "first I drill a hole in your face with the Chainsword, then I cut off your head with the Katana" approach
