Okay, enough is enough. This has gone on for too long, and it's gotten kind of out of control. My original aim was a comprehensive MGS1 pack. The 2 & 3's might be part of a later pack, but for THIS pack, I just want to get it out the door at this point.

I'm currently searching fora good model to skin Vulcan Raven off of. I need a barechested, bald man. No, he cannot be a bald man in a jacket, because skinning skin over modelled cloth looks crappy. So Hitman is out. I'm looking around, but haven't found very many promising leads. Any ideas, people? Or any barechested models whose hair can be turned off?

Official MGS1 Pack Progress:

Solid Snake: Just about finished with the face textures. Sounds will be from Graves' version. 95% complete.

Update: My Solid Snake, with recessed jawline shadow as per Crix's suggestion, side-by-side with the original face that the author of the model did.






Update B: Found Graves' Snake v2, and slapped my textures on that. On the left of Graves' model with my textures. On the right is Darth Kitty's model with my textures.



Personally, I like Kitty's much better than Graves'. The face is simply far too wide.



Liquid Snake: Need to work on the face more. Currently doesn't look much like him. Sounds ripped from a Twin Snakes trailer. 80% complete.

Update: Direct texture swap from Snake (since they ARE clones), slight color adjustment to fit skintone.



Otacon: Textures are finished. Need sounds. 90% complete.

Meryl: Textures done, sounds from Graves. 100% complete.

Cyborg Ninja: 100% complete.

Sniper Wolf: 90% complete. Need to find one good line for her taunt, do a final check of her jacket.
Update: Jacket and body are finished, need to go over her face.

Psycho Mantis: 100% complete. Can't decide whether to go with MGS1 sounds or Twin Snakes sounds.

Revolver Ocelot: 95% complete. Need to make sure I'm satisfied with the face. Sounds are complete, ripped from Twin Snakes trailer.
Update: New face for Ocelot.




Vulcan Raven: 10% complete. Got the base textures down, I think. Need to find a decent model. Sounds are nowhere near complete, I have no idea where to get some. I could try ripping from the trailer again, but there's a lot of background music.


Solid Snake MGS2 and Raiden will not be included in the pack, nor will EVA, Major Ocelot, Shalashaska, or The Boss. Those will all come later.

Perhaps you could re-skin the new barret skin for your Vulcan Raven? Which goes off the punisher model. Maybe there would be a way around the hair. if not, Id have to say, find a modeler. Looks great so far.

Sorry, couldnt get to my post withing 30 mins to edit. I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!

I found how to rip sound off my psx games. I can get you your Vulcan Raven Sounds!

Do you want them from the cutscenes, or would you rather I edit them myself and give them to you already ready to go?

EDIT: I can also get you sounds from anyone in MGS1. So if you are unhappy with any of your sounds, or you want a specific line of speech, let me know.

FANTASTIC news, Doc! You have NO idea how much help that is for me. I've been having to make do with crappy Twin Snakes sounds ripped from trailers with music in the background.

I'll need as many sounds as you can get me for Mantis, Otacon, Raven, and Wolf. Liquid and Ninja would be nice, but aren't strictly necessary as I already have decent-enough sounds for them.

Edit: The raw cutscene audio would be great, if they're in wav format. Then I can just snip to my heart's content to get what I need.

Only problem is, there will be slight bg music in it. But when edited, it may not be noticable. Also, with all your skins, .wav will make for a decent sized file. I have a program to convert wav into mp3 in just a few seconds. It will probably take untill Monday for me to have the files ready for you, as I play CoD UO on the weekends with a friend. So, let me know if you need the program to convert .wav to mp3.

Also: If you are going to make bots, the audio files will let you find nice things for bots to say when they kill you/get killed.

I did start on Vulcan Ravens sounds just incase, I will include them for you to either keep, or scrap. Your decision.

I can get you the audio from every conversation that takes place in the game. Not to mention small sounds(ie snake being hurt, vulcan being hurt, mantis being hurt, and "I can read your mind". And my personal favorite: "Its just a box"..not that you need that.). But they play back very fast and I have to manually slow them down so if you want some of them, they will be harder and take alittle more time.(they arent exactly organized either).

When I have everything you need, I will pm you with the link and pass to the .zip file(wouldnt want anyone else getting their hands on these before you do would we?).

Glad I could help.

Ok, after going through over 4500+ audio files, ending up with 321 useful sound files for you to sort through(have fun! Dont worry, I organized them), and over 3 hours of searching, I am done! I will zip them, probably into two seperate .zips, and pm you with the url and password.

Sorry for triple post, missed my 30 min time limit again! Ok, Im all done and need to upload the files. Problem is, for some reason they will all take 1 hour and 8 mins. So I split them up into 9 smaller files. Still 1 hour 8 mins EACH!! Something must be wrong so I'll try again tomorrow.
