About this mod
weapon and armor models from the HL2 mod eternal silence with permission from the makers themselves
- Permissions and credits
The models are from the eternal silence mod for HL2. i ( ninjagaidan1 member of the bethsoft fallout 3 forums) converted the models from .mdl format to .smd format so somebody can use it.
Permission was granted from DAN of the ETERNAL SILENCE mod team. proof of this can be found at http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1009161
Conditions of use of the models/textures and etc... as by what the ES team says.
"By downloading these models you enter into this license. You agree that the models were created by Eternal Silence. You agree to provide Eternal Silence full credit for any content used. This credit must include a link to the website http://www.eternal-silence.net/. You agree to us the content as-is without modifcation without the express written consent by the Eternal Silence Team.

you can also tell ninjagaidan1 of the beth forums (http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showuser=4118) of the mod so he can tell DAN or PM me and ill tell him.
alright now the models are in .smd format so you will need a .smd importer script/program for 3dsmax OR for blender before the models can be used in fallout 3.
When you open up the files you may see two differnt folders for each weapon and armor model. the folders will say UTF and NGM. this stands for what version of the gear is it. UTF is UNITED TERRAN FORCES version and NGM is the NEO GALACTIC MILITIA version.
i found some importers and they can be found at the urls below (as of july 2 2009)
and textures are in .VTF format so they have to be converted to .tga i assume so there is a VTF to TGA converter at http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/VTF2TGA_Converter_Utility;35355
EDIT: textures have to be in .dds format for FO3 so as far as i know you cant convert .vtf to .dds directly so you have to convert it over to .tga then to .dds.
for 3dsmax

and

for blender

This is the first upload with just the weapons and armor models. the next step is for the ships, capitol ships, props and etc... to be decompiled. If you want to help out to speed up the process then please if you have a copy of half-life 2 or another other source game like counter-strike source then go on steam and download the eternal silence mod then download the source SDK then download a .MDL decompiler from http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm since the models are in .mdl format and must become.smd files. The mod itself will be in a .gcf file in your steam\steam appsfolder so use GCFscape at http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=76 and extract the folders you are going to be working on decompiling. when done upload it to nexus in the model and texture section and notify me and credit the models makers.
any ways enjoy!
THANKS to DAN and the ETERNAL SILENCE mod team for making the models and for granting permision to the community for use.
