US Army Rangers for CO

[massi 772]

Got a problem:

The units don't appear under US Army - 75th Rangers in the editor. I have made a user mission with an earlier version of your addon. If I load that one with your updated version. I get an error message in the editor that the addon is missing.

I neither use your replacement file nor the ace cfg. Is one of those required or may a 3rd party addon cause the problem?

Hi,

mhhh sound strange, well I did not change any class names, but probably the problem is that in the first version they were a separate faction, while now they're under the standard BI US Army faction (75th ranger ACU, desert, wood,multi), and it is the most probable cause of your problem, and I'm sorry for the inconvinient.

I've tested the addon a lot using pretty much all the combinations (vanilla, beta, ACE2...) and it does not require any replacement ( only Arma 2 CO is required = A2+ OA).

I dunno, you can try downloading the latest version http://www.filefront.com/17281674/US_Army_Rangers_CO_v1.02.7z , because I didn't have any other problems reported :)

cheers

Thanks for your reply! As soon as I got some time I'll check it out. It's really weird. Maybe the pbo is corrupt. I'll see.

massi are you going to update your specops soon? :D

Hey massi, little heads up here. With one of the recent ACE updates, the model for the Delta combat medic has been repathed so now the replacement pack is broken, for that one model. Not a big deal, just letting you know.

Great units, Massi! :)

I'm only missing some classes like Operator and Grenadier. Assistant machinegunners would be nice too. It's kind of strange that there are only specialist classes and no "normal" operators.

Sorry for the bump, but have been dying to ask this. Have you thought about possibly not adding multicam onto the Woodland units?

I understand that some people may like it but honestly to me it's rather ugly. If you could possibly think about making an update and/or a small seperate release for these that'd be greatly appreciated. I want to use the Woodland guys again but I really can't at the moment. Really irks me.

Edit: Before anyone thinks that I am slighting his work, i'm not. Overall the replacements are nice, I just don't really enjoy mixed and match camos.

US ARMY RANGERS for Combined Operation updated to v1.03

Hi all,

Sorry for the long wait , but I was, and actually am, a little busy, anyway I’ve found some time to update some of the retexture packages I’ve released a year ago.

I tried to follow advices form the forum (And thanks a lot for that !!!) in order to improve a little bit the quality of the addons, hope you’ll enjoy this new version too!!!

In this update you’ll find new unit classes: Rifleman an Grenadier, as requested in the forum, and also CQB Operator and Breacher .

In the classes you’ll find a new camo : 75th Rangers (PCU), including all the units in full PCU uniforms, they’ve been also included in the Optional ACE config and there’s a replacement file also for this camo now.

I’ve also reduced the number of mixed camos units due to requests, and improved a little bit the loadout configuration of some of the units, and the ACE optional config included in the package has been updated too.

For further details please read the changelog and the readme included in the pack.

As always please report bugs and suggestions , hope you’ll enjoy the update ;) .

Installation.

Put the addons in the "mod folder" of your preference, you will now find the units in the editor under:

Bluefor - US Army - 75th Rangers ... (sorted by different camos)

you'll find groups also under:

Bluefor - US Army - 75th Rangers ... (as above).

ACE2 config files Installation.

Just put the ACE2 Optional Config (called "mas_us_rangs_ACE.pbo") in the modfolder of your preference and you'll see in the editor only the 75th Rangers ACE classes.

This config DO NOT replace original Rangers units, instead it only "hide" them in the editor by setting them as "protected", I did in this way in order to get the maximum compatibility and to avoid changing classnames of the units (for mix makers).

Units and organizzation are the same as for standard Rangers, but they're all equipped with ACEX gear and weapons (this means for example that all of them have one bandage, and medics have drugs too, or that spotters have spotter scopes and rangefiders, demo expert uses ACEX explosives too, etc).

Units now are under Bis US Army faction, so they use "English" if Ace AI Talk is enabled.

Units and Groups are the same as for vanilla game, as following:.

Bluefor - US Army - 75th Rangers ACE ... (sorted by different camos)

you'll find groups also under:

Bluefor - US Army - 75th Rangers ACE ... (as above).

Replacement Pack Installation.

You'll find 5 different replacement files, you can use ONLY ONE AT A TIME !!!

Just choose your preferred camo (deset, acu, pcu, woodland, or multicam), and put the relative replacement in a modfolder, you'll see standard BI Delta Force models replaced by US Army Rangers ones, all with working wound textures.

Graves characters (light and heavy) are replaced as well ... so you can play the campaign again, with a bit different feeling.
