Mosin Nagant or Lee Enfield that don't suck

[Gashjackel]

Exactly as the title says.

 

I would kill to see a decent SMLE or Nagant in New Vegas, Not one of the crap ones from the 19th-20th century weapons mod. I mean a decent one with a good mesh and texture with working animations.

Nobody is interested in two rifles that have been involved in most wars of the last century and every one of this century?

[Moraelin]

Well, there's not only the issue of interest, there's also the issue of, you know, skillz. I can tell you first hand that making a good mesh is hard, and a good texture even more so. As in, I should know, I suck at both :P

 

At any rate, there seems to be a finite number of people who have the skills, AND are interested in making a free mod, AND happen to be on this board at the moment. And a few more who can convert them if they've been made for another game, but then whether the FO3 animations fit is a whole other question.

 

Especially don't underestimate the issue of animations. It's not trivial work. Plus, there seem to be basically a fixed number of them shared among several weapons, and just changing the bolt-action animation to exactly fit the Nagant may well make it exactly wrong for the existing bolt action rifles in the game.

[Gashjackel]

True enough I guess.

 

It's just a shame as I'd really love to tool around with an SMLE

Interestingly enough Arenovalis has a model for a Lee Enfield. He could probably be convinced into texturing it if someone was able to get it working in game.

 

On top of that the 19-20th century weapons mod includes an Enfield model that just needs a better texture, improvements to the soundwork so it isn't too loud and some actual animation

I have solved the animation problem with the lee-enfield of 19-20th century weapons. + I have add a sightingnode. Edited February 13, 2011 by sirerammstein

I did a better texture for the 20thCW Enfield, added Iron sighting, tweaked the mesh and generally fixed it.

 

However I have no permissions for any of it ATM...

[sirerammstein]

The textures are hell of that lee enfield and that is the only thing I need for the lee enfield in fallout new vegas. The meshes are easy to change, but those textures are really hard to make.

First of all I like your idea. But second of all the 19th-20th century pack is very good I think, definitely better than what you can pull off obviously, so don't bash modders that have given the community something.
