FelleAndersson Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Grand Thaft Auto: Desert Combat San Andreas modification Hello, FelleAndersson here. I've been having this idea wurling in my head for a really long time now While I was driving in the desert (In San Andreas ), well, not driving. Killing cops and such, I thought of the BattleField 1942 mod, Desert Combat. For some reason, I'm really interested in that kind of war (excuse me, wars are terrible, but I can't help it ). Anyways, I thought; why not make mod like that for San Andreas? It has all it needs, weapons, vehicles, bots . The idea is: -Replace the map with an Iraqy kind if enviorement(spelling?) -Replace the weapons -Replace various vehicles with military vehicles -Military uniform for player -Replace police force with Al-quida(spelling?) And more... Missions: Pretty basic missions, like pick up squads and drop them in to battle. Or like stand in a battlefield and kill people, transport troops etc Police force: Instead of polices, it can be al-quida, and instead of a police-car, it can be replaced with a Bobcat look-a-like with a weapon mounted at the back or something. If it gets to four stars, then the military police will come after you. If you kill an american soldier, you will get a four star wanted level directly. Vehicles: This is the vehicles I want to replace: Ground Vehicles: Bandito - DPV (Desert Patrol Vehicle) Picture Patriot - Humvee Picture Rhino - Abrams M1A1 Main Battle Tank Picture S.W.A.T(The water tank, it won't firing water though xD) - M163 Vulcan Mobile Anti Aircraft Picture Police - Some sort of pickup Picture HPV1000 - Some sort of moped Fire truck - Disable fire trucks Abualance - Disable ambulances Enforcer - BRDM2 Scout Vehicle Picture Ranger- Some sort of pickup Picture FBI Ranger - Shilka Mobile Anti Aircraft Picture FBI Truck - Shilka Mobile Anti Aircraft Picture Barracks - Barracks Aircraft: Beagle - AC-130 Gunship Picture Raindance - UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter Picture Hunter - Cobra Picture Hydra - Harrier Picture Shamal - A-10 Thunderbolt Tank Killer Picture Rustler - F-14 Tomcat (Replace the propeller sound with jet-engine sound) Picture Maverick - Huey Picture Police Maverick - Hind Attack Helicopter Picture Weapons: About the weapons, I don't really think there's much to replace there. Maybe the M4, with a grenade launcher attached, and replace the grenade with the same model and animation as the m4 to make it look like you shoot with the m4 when actually throwing a grenade. And that's about it! It's just an idea, but if someone's interested on making this mod with me, PM me or contact me at [email protected] Picture source: http://www.desertcombat.com/ Google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissileDefender Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 But... how would you gain any wanted level for any "terrorist" Technical to come after you if there is no other cars or civilians? Also, Im not sure most of those vechiles would work properly. You could model them and texture them, but I dont think you could replace them as law enforcement and have them do what you expect them to do. Example, FBI, The anti aircraft gun wouldnt be able to operate. It would just be for show. Fo sho And besides, all those ideas for aircraft would be good. But the only use theyd have is spawning and flying over head for 20 seconds or so. If they even fly at all, example, AC-130 maybe too big to fly at the beagle spawning altitude. It may clip a building, or hill. Although I think it would be hilerious to see a bobcat flying down the road, 2 arabic guys getting out dressed in the full head to toe clothing with a turbine, while shooting at you with an AK47 with very poor accuracy.

FelleAndersson Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 The weapons are for show, yes, and Iraq has cities And cities has civilians, and cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexX Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 it wouldn't really work out all that well, say as a standalone city + vehicle replacement, for some of the reasons mentioned already; gta just isn't set up to play like Battlefield, even if you make a map and vehicles like that. You would need to do alot (read:alot) of scripting, to make the vehicles and actors behave the way you want for a mod like this, and even then, it would be iffy, especially the weapons on the vehicles. Maybe the M4, with a grenade launcher attached, and replace the grenade with the same model and animation as the m4 to make it look like you shoot with the m4 when actually throwing a grenade. the guns in GTA only have one fire type. you can zoom in/out, but thats it, there is no alt-weapon fire. Long story short, you could do the map and vehicles, probably even the characters, and make it *look* like DC, but it won't ever really play the same.

FelleAndersson Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 I didn't say secondary fire I said, replacing the weapon handling and model on the grenade to make it look like you're using an m4 with a grenade luancher mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphandmike Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 maybe make the vehicles available ok to start with then work on the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fareed Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 You also need to define paths for peds cops etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedRebel Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I just want to get one thing straight This is a Battlefield 2 mod for GTA? based on the pics in the first post and the intention of the mod given in the first post that's exactly what this is. Why not, you know...just play BF2 to get your "I want to fight the Iraqi's but I'm too f*cking lazy to join the army for real" fix Instead of spending hundreds of man hours modeling and coding a GTASA to BF2 TC, it's just more cost effective and time efficent to just by BF2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtabrian2 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yeah.. that is alot of work... more than im willing to put in .. for i have desert combat. just buy the game.. get your fix.. I think your better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexX Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Actually its a mod for Battlefield 1942, but the same logic applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLPynton Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 i could help you by coding all fancy effect you are talking about, but that is just above the game limits! i am talking straight now: -2 battle tanks (secondary tank has to be scripted) -3+ helis with weaponary (secondary and avery another has to be scripted) -2+ fighters (as above) -2 AA tanks (both scripted) -vehs with guns (all scripted) -many minor things and whole tactics, what about that? that is not the engine for such a battlefield. personally i advice you to try as written before with the exception: operation flashpoint!!! that is the platform for such a task. and modding there, that is modding platform and everything else... sucks for such a task i am affraid to say.

FelleAndersson Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Awesome, that's just what i wanted : P And why do you people think I want to make it like Battlefield? omg, the engines are totally different I was just inspired for an idea. Allthough, I don't think this mod will get started since I can't seem to get my Zmod 2 to export San Andreas dff's But if anyone want to start, I will not say "Hey! you stole my idea", I'd rather say "THANK YOU!!!!"

Grant Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'll make the land nah, if you seriously wanna do this then go for it, i'll help you out modelling anything (except peds) and pre-light it all and get it into vice, as for san an, paddle your own canoe.

FelleAndersson Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Thanks man, but it's really only suitable for San Andreas.. I guess? Hmm.. Well, there are 2 gangs(3) in Vice City that's in war together. You know, cubans and haitans. Since we like the cubans I could replace their model with an desert-camo-soldier model. And Al quida model for the haitans. But then again, Vice don't have as much aircraft as needed, and clearly not a VTOL one, wich we need for a Harrier. It doesn't even have one that can land and take off from land. But if you could make the land, thanks. Maybe I can get Uni to help me. If he can, that would be awesome. I just hate that I don't got 3Ds Max My computer sucks and my connection's f*cked up so I can't 'buy' it, and I don't have money either. But I do have Zmod 2, but that's f*cked up too. Everytime I try to export and SanAn dff, it's gone. The file is there, but it's 0 kb and if I try to import it to Zmod 2, it doesn't show up! And I don't know how the COL works in SA either, much problem with that, since it's NOT like Vice and III... So, I guess this mod won't be made, not by me anyways.

Mark Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 bump - I like this idea. I'm game for making some aircraft...maybe you should ask Pinky about his Mig too, maybe re-texture it. I've always wanted to make an A-10A too. An F-117A would be cool too, I dunno, I just see it as a desert warfare aircraft, as it's a pure attack plane, and was used in the Gulf war after all.
