Stormie's Loadout of Pauldrons and Equipment

This took a LOT longer to make than I expected, so I ain't gonna fill this topic with..MUCH..unnecessary jabber.

Anywho, like the title says, this is a pack full of Stormie stuff. Basically:

-a pauldron ALONE
-a pauldron w backpack ALONE
-a pauldron w shoulder ammo ALONE(no backpack)
-ammo from the thighs.

They are all taken from the Imp Shocktrooper model, for those wondering.

Then I hear you saying "But CodaRez, there alrdy ARE pauldron addon models out there, so what you did is a waste of time". Well i'd like to point out that

A. Apprently not many notice but the Pauldrons for Imps is on the opposite side, heh imagine that.

B. The CLONE pauldron may have extra attachments to it that a Stormie isn't really seen having

C. While this pack offers ONLY stuff stormies are seen wearing.

So, without further adew, I present, the SCREENIES:

-Pauldron.

Useful perhaps for things like this:

Un-sandtrooper Squad leader

-Pauldron w Backpack

These are apparently how Sandtroopers were like. I hear you again: "But CodaRez! Using the shocktrooper is alrdy good enough!" Well, apparently shocktroopers have all the extra ammo clips that the sandtroopers didn't have or need. As seen with these "Bad Boys":
Hidden/Spoiler:

-Pauldron w Shoulder Ammo
Image
But, apparently, some did:

But I am making variety for those who DIDN'T carry backpacks.

-Thigh Ammo Packs

Another extra to complete the set. It isn't merged with the other models cus unlike the others who use the bone_ribcage, this one uses the bone_pelvis.

NOTE: With that said, the PUREST (straight from game with no sticking out parts) item in this pack I believe is the "Thigh Ammo Packs" So spare a thought for them k? *Sigh* sometimes the seemingly most useless/extra/random things are misunderstood, and are the most flawless.

ANOTHER NOTE: WHY the shoulder is sticking out u say?, you might as well give up:
"AS AGAIN with the bones stuff, some parts of the pauldron are actually INFLUENCED by the bones. So the orange part? Yeah that is NOT the ribcage but
the shoulder bone it is moving with"

And thats it! I recommend if you are a master hex-editor that you may mix and match some of the addons (as far as I know, I can bet tehre are only 2-3 combinations though.)

CREDITS:

-Pandemic. No power I know off can deny it's contribution without getting cornered by 50 Bounty Hunters and getting
stabbed by vibroblades even though they ALL had 2 blaster pistols to use each. So, credits to them, as I sensibly
would not that kind of fate X(.

-Me, CodaRez. Heck I don't got 50 Bounty Hunters, I'll just let the guilt seep into ur very soul at night, etching
into ur very humanity, crushing ur sanity and imploding the unknown confines called your mind into oblivion. Ah
well, just credit me too k? If not, I hope for your sake that you actually do sleep well tonight.....

-MandeRek, he made the Addon tut, without which I would have no purpose to make these cheap addons cus I actually
HATE hex-editing(but that shouldn't stop you k).
-Ace's universal tut which I followed more than Mande's actually.

Have fun! :stormie:

You talking bout textures?

If so all use individual textures(to be truthful they are ALL the same texture: imp_inf_trooper_pack)
Meaning u can edit the textures on 1 addon while preserving the textures on the others. Useful for hex-editors.


If its the model, I COULD patch it up, thing is I don't really know where to start on it(positioning)

EDIT: LOL Diet Dr. Pepper! Your right! They aren't meant to do that. Hang on while I patch it up k dangit!

I am SO SORRY everyone.

But FINALLY, the Stormies Loadout of Pauldrons and Equipment is RE-OPENED to the public!

Highlights are:

-The pauldrons don't go into the chest (NOT shoulder) TOO much

-New pics

-Slightly updated credits.

First post updated with the link.

So, finally I can say GB to this project that has plagued me for more than a few MONTHS.

I hope you all enjoy my grinding hard work :faint:

NOTE: WHY it took so long? Position a pauldron addon mesh(taken say from the shocktrooper) onto a regular trooper and put ingame. You will see what I mean.
After u ahve seen what I mean, just freeze the transforms on the pauldron msh again after inserting into dummyroot and all is (relatively) well! :mrgreen:

DANGIT it took so long for me to figure out :runaway:

I might use your pauldrons in my side mod...

PS... this is off topic. I used like all your weapons for my side mod.

Thanks so much...
