the best skin for sterling so far

cool

Only virgin use optics on WW2 weapons.
The Chad only use AP

my go to for cqc

essential mod for me. so fuckin cool

I love this, but as someone else said the optics are next to unusable. I don't need em tho :P

Don't use optics on it then.

it shake like an earthquake when you put the kobra on it

pls add custom sounds

now i feel like real OMON thank you bby <3

Great job on the skin buddy! :D

AWSOME NOW US TALIBANS COULD HAVE MACHINE PISTOLS NOW WOO!!!

i did manage to cut off the stock. seems to be working on original animations. still looks funny in 3rdperson since the sterling has the mag on the left side. i don't know how to pack it or upload though.

I can't see the skin. help please?

Alright so I decompiled, convert to editable mesh, deleted the stock via it's vertices, exported the mesh using WallWorm's tools... gave me v_sterling_reference.smd. I compiled using that and this was the result. https://postimg.org/image/8tk6v4hzl/ note the stock is gone, but it isn't in the right place - none of the animations (draw/idle/fire) etc. seem to work either. What did I miss? I'm very new to all this =)

lol!! Gotta love Rymd =)
Let me install 3dsmax and I'll have a look.

Decompile

Select stock

Delete

Export

Compile

???

Profit

Sorry I been busy with work. Haven't worked on my own mod even. But yeah I looked at the texture files and can't really tell what should be transparent, the UV/unwrap/whatevah makes finding the right part for the stock a litte confusing. WHen I get some real skillz and some time I'll take another crack at it.

TBH you don't even see the stock in the viewmodel much. It would probably take new animations to make it feel right without a stock (unless you have wrist of steel, would probably move while firing)

can we please get a version without the stock? i know you and N8 just talked about it but most of us (includeing me) have no idea how to edit models or make whatever texture it is transparent

I haven't done much model editing or anything like that. Masking the alpha on a texture though I could probably handle that. I will give it a shot when I have a few minutes. Thanks for the idea. I'll let you know if it doesn't turn out too funny

You could easily get rid of the stock by making its texture transparent. Or you could edit the model and recompile on the mod's animations.

Would it be hard to make it without the stock? Or am I tripping?

This is the only replacement for this gun imho. Love it, would love to see a glock form in some fashion (there's a fully auto glock in the armory but it's dogshit compared to this)! In lieu of that, mind if I include this in a theater mod I'm working on? Of course credit goes to yall and a link back to this page.

Best Sterling mod.

a better sound?

gigglepuss is a very bright individual

@doctor fuckatron:
how is it hacking

replacing a long gun with a fully auto pistol? This is practically hacking lol.

Love this thing man, makes a clunky gun feel not so clunky to me.

Yeah

He's probably busy with work, or there's something else taking up his free time, haven't talked to him in a long while.

hey farenger, do you know what happened to E5150? i really liked some of his skis and then he just vanished. Do have any guesses why?

this is pretty cool i just wish more people would make different weapons to replace the sterling with like more smgs

This is practically the only sterling replacement that isn't a sterling. +1! Of course you don't take requests, but perchance anyone else is watching, anyone think they can add those green night sights we see on here? +fav +collection +sub

Stechkin APS смотрелся бы лучше.

Same rules apply mang. Game asset or not, if you take with impunity, you're bound to make other people mad.
Like, have you ever built upon someone else's essay at school and pass it off as your own?
It gets you nowhere...fast.
Anyways, Rustie, don't take it too personally. Farengar's just laying out Bohemia's ethics on asset useage and copyright (and by extention Farengar's).
Unless you, yourself, have been guilty of using someone else's assets without permission (implied or explicit), you've naught to fear.

I did not say not to use it without permission. I just said that it's not a game asset. Just ask the mod author.

@rustie:
From BI's website:

"You must respect the copyright of other people, not just Bohemia Interactive, if it infringes someone else’s rights then you can’t do it. Usually there is a clear license included with each work. If there is no clear license, you are simply not authorized to use it. Just because something is available for download doesn't mean that you can freely use it."

Nobody know where that modder group got the model from so yeah. It's not cool to use assets without explicit permission.

Yeah, if it's a game asset. A mod isn't a game asset dude.

Unfortunately porting anything ARMA/DayZ related is strictly forbidden by Bohemia Interactive.

@Farengar

The bipod is a fair assessment. but the FR-F2 has iron sights. The Rear notch is at the back of the ridge on the barrel sleeve, and the front sight at its end.

Can be seen here actually- http://urrp.free.fr/frf2_2004/nikon/DSCN3027.JPG

Simply the MAS36 would be fair, simple to add it appears since you have the model already.

Seems the FR-F2 is such an obscure weapon that someone would really need to create the model from scratch.

I do not know if its usable for insurgency, but there is a mod for ARMA 3 that adds the FR-F2

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=20128

Maybe if you were somehow able to contact the creators of this content to see if theyd let you use their model.

Good luck anyway and I appreciate the reply.

I have been thinking about FR-F2 for some time, but there is no suitable model anywhere and ironsights as well as bipod would be a real problem. I do have a MAS-36 model from some other game, so who knows.

I realize that it has a detachable magazine, but you could just make it continue to use the m40 animations of reloading 1 shot at a time. I mean you can still do that even if the gun has a detachable mag.

Might I suggest a possible skin?

Would it be possible to make the French FR-F2 sniper rifle as a M40a1 replacement?

This gun-

Ironsights screen added, even though it's still just your regular pistol sight picture.

just subscribe, its not that hard, clicking a button and seeing it for yourself

Eight pictures, and not a single usable one.

Upload an ADS picture!!!

I must be the only one who gives exactly zero shits how a gun looks.

Walther MPL, and the portugeuse FBP. get on it.

Great mod! Finally a good auto-pistol, could you make one without a stock?
