Canadian Forces Design Plan & Priorities

[[R-DEV]eggman]

Here is the design plan for the community CF effort:

We still need to ask some of the BSS folks if we can use some content, so that's up in the air, the PR Dev team will look into that.

==

Note that to make the CF a reality there is VERY LITTLE that needs to be done to get to a playable 0.1 release.

Here are the 5 things that need to be done to get to a playable first CF release:

1. Reskin the Euro Forces soldiers to CADPAT AR and TW
2. Model & Texture a C7A2 with 3 Variants - USE KATARN'S M16 AS THE BASE
-- iron sights
-- Elcan
-- Elcan with M203
3. Reskin the LAV-25 to OD and an OD Woodland variant
-- the OD one is the desert variant and should be really dusty
-- the Woodland one should be the same color, just less dusty
4. Select one map to convert to a CF map
-- map must be Infantry and APCs only
5. Develop and code all the required CF team assets
-- Rhino has already done most of this
-- still need to develop the HUD assets for weapon selection and spawn screen
-- need localisation stuff and soldier kits

Once the assets are created the PR team will code them and roll it into the PR codebase. I could do most of the work in 1 to 2 days.

==

I can absolutely guarantee you that ONE PERSON could knock off creating these assets in 2 weeks. BUT I can also guarantee you that will not happen. People typically are compelled to make things more complicated than they need to be.

AND I can guarantee you that just about every post following this one will make it more complicated to do a CF release for little to no tangible game play benefits.

==

For those of you who are curious.... grab some popcorn and watch just how long it will take to get that simple list of stuff done

Thread Cleaned. New forum for References created.

In the linked excel document, it says "attack helo", with a lot of "x"s and one "tbd". I just want to check, but you know we don't have any attack helos, right? I mean, we've got the Griffon, but that's hardly an attack helo. I figure you already know that, but the "tbd" threw me off.

tbd prolly just a cut n paste error, the CF will not have attack helicopters.

I thought Katarn was doing the Elcan, which is why mine was dropped. I would take that out if so, dont want anyone making my mistake.

[S.A.S jackwebsterdunstan]

so, is this going to be a seperate BSS mod or will it be a new team in PR?

[[R-DEV]Rhino]

Its a community 3rd part mod for PR that may be intergrated into PR if it materlises.

DesertFox or other, can we get an update on CF status?
