New Joint Operations Mod Coming

[grenadier501]

Hey all!, a new mod will come by the end of the year most probably:
I'd like to share it with you all once it's completed.

It will feature the whole DFBHD single player campaign in Joint operations, same weapons, same dialogs, same soundtrack, same enemies with improved AI, but also keeping the stuff from the original JO engine

Drivable technicals with 50 cals
Riding the Iranian oil tanker
BHD psps
Drivable U.N. trucks

Hey great work there - minor question

Can you import BHD maps into it or only DFX stuff?

[grenadier501]

yes yes i can, that's what i'm going to do, it's just that after you import it you have to change some objects manually in MED since some objects have different IDs than in BHD.

Another mod?? Sweet I'll post some news about it

[grenadier501]

thanks Scott . yes another mod, can i post any relevant progress here? or that could be too much spam??

[Scott]

That won't be to much spam. You can post it here.

decorations and buildings already added, currently working on vehicles:

next step: ai and playable dfbhd character models

[grenadier501]

more drivable technicals.

[grenadier501]

going a bit slow, 2 or 3 vehicle per day, it's really hard to create the collision boxes for every vehicle in 3ds max manually, but that's the only way. still working

[Scott]

Nice work. Keep us posted

[grenadier501]

thanks! ^^ more vehicles on the way :

yes yes.

Ok I finished converting the vehicles at last, though some of them are not perfect, some vehicles don't have 'interior model' so they should be drivable by Ai only ( Nova's fault, they created the models, not me, i just converted them, didn't want to get into much editing ) . Still the rest look nice to me as seen in the screenshots and i'm happy with them.

Now to the next and hardest step: importing and converting the character models from dfbhd to Jo format. will be back to post progress in a couple of days

Mate, the Joint Operations trailer shows the DFBHD humvee with an interior. Will you add the DFBHD Humvee drivable with interior? Or the humvee has no interior model?

[grenadier501]

yes yes i will add it.

So i started with the hardest task of mod making: Character creation.

I added the first character from DFBHD: the Ranger friendly soldier, more coming..
