Red Faction: Guerrilla Mod - WIP First Person

[RedRiverChannel]

I guess this will never be released. To bad. =z

[SnakePlisskenPMW]

could you possibly teach me how you did this.. or give me a exsample perhaps with in a pargaph or less if you can... in how this could be done... you can message me. or email... pmwhomevents@aol.com

im realy intreasted in a reply from you, i feel i may be able to implament this to the PS3 platform vr. of the game

[gooberCP]

@SnakePlisskenPMW I really don't feel like explaining all the crap I had to go through to just get this far. I can assure you that short of burning a hacked copy of the ps3 game, you're not getting it on the ps3.

[AROAH1337]

@gooberCP Which could easily be done.

[spartenbeny]

@gooberCP Its NEARLY 2012. When is this gunna be released?!

[gh123man]

anyone ever post a link for this?

[ODSTD56]

is this done?

[ShonaBadGirl]

this mod was never released, is it true?

i ask because i hate the 3rd person and its hard to play for me

[YanMcDanish]

lol its like minecraft XD

[NICKREAPER316]

Needs a view model of a weapon. Like in other first person shooters. I'm sure an experienced enough modder for the engine might be able to pull that off somehow.

[calum341]

@NICKREAPER316 I know it might seem simple, but it would be extremely.. EXTREMELY hard, and awkward looking.

[NICKREAPER316]

@calum341 As was putting DOOM sprites in Half-Life 2, but they did it anyway.

[calum341]

@NICKREAPER316 Putting a 2d texture over a 3d model is pretty simple, putting a 3d model where there was nothing, and positioning it so that it doesn't keep wavering off your screen, is no easy task.

[NICKREAPER316]

@calum341 You can do anything, you just gotta' wish upon a star!

[threedaysgrace9416]

why can't they simply give us the option? If someone can make a mod for 1st person, why can't a proffessional game developer??

[Asuleno]

@threedaysgrace9416

its not that they cant, its just if they want

[VanguardGames]

They plan on going back to 1st person in Red Faction 4.

[adem44a]

@VanguardGames apparently not, they recently released red faction: armageddon trailer, and it looks as though its going to be 3rd person again.

I miss the old games. ;_;

[masterpiraka]

@adem44a Well, armageddon is a prequel, not RF4... so there's still hope? idk.

[adem44a]

@masterpiraka :O

This is good news. I just hope it will fit well with the story.

I really hope they eventually make a new one that can recapture the game style of the first Red Faction. Even if it was just the first one redone with extended campaign and modern graphics. :)

[Sharkey3331]

@masterpiraka no its a seqeul with alecs grandson

[xalener]

@Sharkey3331

They still seem to be selling it as more of a spinoff.

[Sharkey3331]

@xalener good point

[fartsahoy]

Yes please.

[k00l1o]

they didn't make the game first person cause of all the destruction would be impossible basicly.

[ChrisK57001]

Really good idea!

What is the name of your mod?

[StephenWebb1980]

Switch to 3rd person when hammer is equipped. Keep all else 1st.

[ENDORPHINSAM]

no they had the choice, i mean, they wouldent make a hammer in third person if they were going to make it in first person, if it was supposed to be in 1 person it would show the hud weapons but it might have, slightly glitchier gameplay...

[ninjikiran]

Rather invisible character mode mixed with huge character mod and camera locked in a certain way. Hammers would look strange though.

[johnphoenix20009]

Man! I may email you through here.. i Need thi Mod.. I LOVED RF an was So bummed out when it was 3rd person.. as well as many folks even some of the developers wanted it to be 1st person. Please tell me you got the bugs worked out and I will be so Happy! You know.. the game was originally a first person game. The lead director guy rick white didn't even know the history of the game according to what I read.. Where did they get this guy? Please reply 2 this or i will mail U if gamesurge is down.

[mazdaplz]

but mason still blocks my view, how did you get so much zoom?

[mazdaplz]

sorry for the multiple posts; but i have another idea, how about we take one of the player models from saints row 2, and the rig file; and replace it for mason.

that way the camera will be on the right place, nobody will notice because as it is configured in your mod the player model is not visible anyway, so no one will see that it's not actually mason

[mazdaplz]

no, it's a rig file that attaches the bones and camera to the playermodel, but it's not lightwave, i checked; it's not a .3ds file either; i think they encrypted the rig file into a format of their own, sadly the only way to change the camera would be to modify the rig file for mason; until the proper tools come out i think we're stuck

[mazdaplz]

scratch what i said, i tried that; i even tried modifying the on-foot camera with vehicle camera commands; i'm beginning to doubt that they built the camera with offset parameters at all!

[gooberCP]

Sorry about that comment with the link to the virus guys, I would have deleted it sooner if I had of seen it.

[mazdaplz]

hey no problem buddy, but how is the mod going? i stopped playing red faction until your mod came out because i really want to play it like an fps.

i have been looking at the xtbl files myself; have you tried making the standard camera a scope?

if i'm correct, the scoped weapons don't have an offset; maybe if you take the contents from under "scope" and switch some around for the ones in "normal" you would get something more in FPS style and not OTS

[mazdaplz]

@gooberCP

ok goober i think i have an idea, if you look at the file under MISC called mason.rig_pc; and open it with word pad; it seems that it is a file that attaches the bones to a LWO lightwave model of mason's body; including THE CAMERA! AHA! so what we need to do is locate the model of mason's body for single player, load it into lightwave and load the .RIG file for it; then all we have to do is move the camera with a click and drag; it seems it's bound to the player model.

[mazdaplz]

dude i fixed the right offset problem

[Eevacin]

Just make the head invisible... and make the camera stick where the head should be, so if you crouch or get knocked over, it looks ... best as possible anyways... lol... anyways, Im no modder... but Second Life lets you see your avatar, and just makes the head invisible when in mouse look... that works good enough. No game will ever be perfect, I just hope youre smart enough to LEAVE it in 1st person when in vehicles? please? lol .... FPS driving FTW

[crazymonkey246810]

well.... i really am interested in getting this mod exept there is one problem D:

i dont have the pc version of the game but im gonna get it and get this mod

[F45B]

[BenjaminQuiz]

NIce mod but....this game was DEFINATELY NOT meant for first person view

[TheRealDamnSyko]

It'll be interesting to see how much you really do get crushed by rubble in first person :O
