Army Men Mod: Call of Duty is a mod pack we created for our Call of Duty playthrough videos with a plastic, toy-warfare spin. Now, we will be sharing it to the world to try for themselves. The mod is still incomplete, mostly because we cannot find a way to decompile character meshes from the game into Blender or 3DS Max, or at least enough to allow us to change the textures to perfect the mod, so we have released the files in separate PK3 files to switch between manually when playing the respective campaigns in Call of Duty. Perhaps Call of Duty 2 will fair better for us instead...

This has to be one of the laziest "I made a mod!" things I've seen.

Read the description in the download page. It explains our efforts in creating this mod. CoD1 is barely moddable. This mod is anything EXCEPT lazy.

Sounds like a lack of both knowledge and competence. CoD1 has been heavily modded through the years, with one of the best Star Wars mods for CoD1 being hosted right here on ModDB alongside the RevoltX and SWAT Reloaded mods.

Lack of knowledge with modding for this game? Perhaps. I have already spent two months trying to find a way to change the textures of the COD1 characters, searching for many ways to export and modify Xmodels to no avail. Most of the sites that use to cover xmodel support no longer work. I only managed to find a workaround solution during the final week of April prior to launch via Gamefront (a site I did not know was still alive to this day, I guess they managed to evade yet another closure), only for the mod to become an unstable mess that suffers from memory allocation errors that I know not how to resolve.

I have marked that build as the experimental version. You can download that here:

Lack of competence? Clarify? Are you trying to say I am incompetent with CoD1 modding or modding entirely? Assuming you mean the former, then why not help me and my team resolve this problem? I searched all of Gamefront to find how to properly modify the textures of the soldiers, or replace xmodels and as said above, the best I could find thus far is the COD Model Texture Editor. Far as the mods (both on this site and GameFront), most of them seem to just be texture or sound replacements, and UI mods. Star Wars and a few War on Terror mods are the only exceptions where xmodels have been replaced, created, or appended anew. They are the few and the minority and most of them were made in the 2010s to 2000s - a time when most of the tools to import/export xmodels were still active and readily available. That no longer seems to be the case. Even when it was, they require me to rely on Maya. I only own an old copy of 3DS Max. The few Blender plugins someone referred me to for Xmodels don't seem to work, no matter how much I tried (far as the latest version of Blender at least).

Overall, I really tried to make this mod work as I hoped. I underestimated the difficulty of modding for Call of Duty compared to how easy it was for me to modify other id Tech engine games.

Hence why I said the first Call of Duty is barely moddable now. The downloads to nearly all of the essential tools to make this possible, particularly with models have flat-lined.
