- Thread starter CrazyThumbs
- Start date
I kept it pretty faint for the scenario it will be in. If it calls for more dirt and grime, I'll happily add it, thats my favorite part.

Iron Europe and the UDK
Iron Europe and the UDK
Just a small announcement to make regarding Iron Europe and the UDK, written by me an Ekoms on behalf of the IE Team.
Iron Europe and the UDK
Just a small announcement to make regarding Iron Europe and the UDK, written by me an Ekoms on behalf of the IE Team.
As most of you are aware, the Unreal Development kit (UDK) has been released for public use. We have heard some comments that we should switch over to the UDK. To avoid any confusion about what the Iron Europe team will be doing, we are making this announcement:
We will continue to mod for the unreleased Heroes of Stalingrad. It is in our best interests to proceed as planned due to the similarities in our game designs. Having our own release, though nice, would only create more work for us than necessary. We would have to build more assets, write more code, and do more research than is possible within an acceptable time-frame for a team of our size.
Also, we all love the RO franchise and the community and feel a bit of loyalty to TWI for giving us such an awesome platform to build off of.

fully understandable
alone the Balistics code wich will be finished and fully working in HoS would probably take you a few weeks of work at minimum

Some of us have been playing around with it, yes. We need a rigger/animator to get anything really done with it. But I've imported a lot of our assets into the UDK to see how they look. It's suprisingly easy to use.

Sounds amazing, and the environment-sensitive audio is very cool too.
I hope you can pull it off and put that in, it would be so immersive

February Update
February Update
Well it's about that time again, another update from the IE team.
This month we have a couple things to show you. First, we have an announcement about the website. The Iron Europe site is getting a bit of a face lift. Our members Miro! and Tech have been working it for the past couple of weeks now and we hope to have it ready soon.
Next we have a couple of renders to show you. Please note that everything you see here is a work in progress. There's always the possibility for us make something better, so weapons you see now might be reworked later on.
Here we have the Cricket Ball Grenade (redone),
And the description that will accompany it in-game,

Here we have the Cricket Ball Grenade (redone),
And the description that will accompany it in-game,
"The No. 15 Ball Pattern grenade, more commonly known as the Cricket Ball grenade, was introduced in 1915. Due to the shortage of grenades the No. 15 was a simple design allowing for ease of production.
The fuse was friction ignited and had a lead cap to prevent it from getting wet. In order to arm the grenade, the lead cap would be removed and the fuse would be lit, either by the standard method of striking the fuse against an armlet, or by the less traditional method of lighting it with lite cigarettes or pipes. The thrower then had 5 seconds to get rid of it.
The grenade itself was judged to have to much explosive powder and being too big overall. And while the Cricket ball served well in drier theaters of combat, on the Western Front the lead cap proved insufficient to protect the fuse from the damp conditions, leading to many unusable grenades.
The No. 15 quickly fell into disfavor, and while it had limited success in some theaters, its brief run was replaced by the famous Mills Bomb."
-CrazyThumbs
And, to wrap it up is a little something I have a feeling most of you will like, The SMLE Mk III.
That's all we have for this month, stay tuned for the next update and feel free to stop by at our website,
