i named him jake back in 2018

Yes!

that posing was good, go check my screenshots and u will see the real fuckyness (pls go check)

Alright, thanks for looking anyways.

My appologies moon, i really tryed my best finding the beta replica/atc models and the beta assult rifle but they are texture baked into oblivion and the model for the first version of the assult rifle with the iron sights seems to be gone too.
However not all hope is lost, there is currently a team of fans working on porting elements from fear 1 2 and 3 into one game called "fear complete" its far from being finished but it looks very prommesing here is the link if you want to check it out:

Also thanks for everything you really helped me out with things.

I use 3ds.

Yeah about these mesh files you do open them in blender right ?
Since i for some reason cant what are using to import the mesh files i look and nothing worked for me ?
are you even using blender for this or like 3dsmax or maya ?

Basically mdl files are what the game uses to read the actual model information. Yes, just get the mesh files.

Tell me if you find it.

So looking into converting them is useless and i should rather look into the mesh files from the bndl converter ?

Mdl files, like they are in the source engine, are just headers. They do not contain any actual model information, it's all in the mesh.

Well looking at it with dragon unpacker (a useful tool for looking into arch files)
or converting it with the fear 2 release tool /arch/bndl/snd/tex./ shows me that derectly converted files from the arch.files are still .mdl files instead of .mesh wich can be found in the bndl files wich can be used but what i m asking is is there a way to open these .mdl files ?
It feels like i have downloaded every convert or plugin for blender but i have no luck in tracking down one for these damn .mdl files for instance if you convert the main layer01.arch01 file and then look after into ArchExtractor\powerups\health_small.mdl .
And ripping them from the game is also useless since there is no world editor unlike in fear 1.

Also its not a question of where they are is rather a question of how to convert them into a useful format, after that tracking them down would be easy and quick.
any ideas that may help me with this.

The model might still be in the files, but I have no idea where it could be. I have also been looking for the beta version of the assault rifle, but had no luck.

What do you mean not as mesh but as mdl?

Hey moon, its me beka (yeah i know you dont remember me) i wanted to ask you a question or several for a matter of fact:
Did you or sgt.shotup ever get an opportunity to extract/convert the model from the main arch files not as .mesh but derectly as .mdl files ?
I am asking this since i allready know how to convert and/or rip them from the game derectly but there is a model that i m pretty sure is still somewhere in the files that is not derectly in the game itself.
To cut things short i m tring to find the find the model from the replica soldier from the early beta of when it was still called just "project origin" and i have already found textures and a low poly model version( that has no hands) of him driving the bot controlled EPAs but i would be more than happy to find a way to get the real model that is a actually t-posing model and not a sitting prop maybe you or sgt.shotup have any way in helping me.
I would be more than happy to provide you with any additional detail.

I do not have the knowledge to do so. Not to mention extracting the original animations is impossible and I am sure as hell not animating this.

WHY

No.

make it a snpc

I remember THIS SAME Twitchy little Bastards

Oh ._.

Don't care for it as much as I used to.

Do you like Star Wars?

ok

I port models, I do not create them, so no.

do you think you could do Life of Boris PM ? if so let me know

hey beautiful how are ya take that cloth off your face you look beautiful without them

that looks like a Nosferatu to me

Paxton Fettel... Please.

ooooooooooo

ah

I don't know. Have not extracted from it yet.

what about the first fear skeleton? is that easy to work with?

oh, i can still pose stuff even if the skeleton is weird :P i dont mind it

No others for now, since the HDD where I kept the unpacked files bricked and I need to rebuild the libraries.
Not to mention the FEAR 2 skeleton is a bit hard to work around and results in odd shit unless you are a master poser.
Once I do continue however, I plan on doing all the Replica soldiers.

What other fear models are you gonna be doing?

spooky

Awesome!

Okay, those fucking monsters fuckers are nasty, really they are really fucking nasty beasts as fuck!

Dude, that game was fucked up.
