Hey,

Im wondering if it’s possible to convert the shotgun from AA 2.8.5 to 25 Assist? And if it’s possible, can it be done? Shotguns will bring something new to 25Assist

*ive been playing some trainings a few weeks ago, the first SF training, before you go for the test you need to talk with some green berets members. On one of table you can see a shotgun. That’s why I’m asking about the shotgun.

I hope to hear from you soon.

I was just curious about it. You guys did it also with the uniforms. I remember the time that 2.5 the camo pattern of the uniforms were dessert on dessert maps. Nowadays you can see the digital camo pattern on the uniforms from 285.

Anyway, no I don’t know how much work it is, to do that kind of stuff.

Thanks for the information.

Good observations!

Back in the day we had a very talented and well motivated member of the team that was capable of and (somehow!) had the time to do such things. But unfortunately he's no longer actively involved in this project.
That's why I say we don't really have the resources to tackle such things.

I'm sorry if the above post felt aggressive or hostile. It certainly wasn't meant as such. People just often underestimate the amount of work seemingly small changes can take. And perhaps they also overestimate the number of members and/or amount of available time for the members of the staff here (or other projects for that matter).

I want to expand on this a bit. As far as 2.8.5 ports go, Eliz did the initial work with Spanky and I helping to do more fine fixes to get the maps working in 2.5.

That being said, the camo and maps were, I don't want to say easy, but a lot more straight forward. Texture importing was the majority of the work with some static mesh and sight line editing required to make it all work.

I am not super familiar with the 2.8.5 shotguns, but the editor we had to work with is Unreal 2.4 AT BEST. We couldn't even get the random spawns to work properly for maps like Dockside and Extraction. The point being that there is a very big difference between player skins and new weapon types being able to work in AA 2.5.
