M2 Bradley Reskin by ThePieSpy

[BigMorgan 11]

If you're like me, you've been dying for a woodland reskin of the BIS Bradley models included in Operation Arrowhead. Well, thanks to ThePieSpy from UnitedOperations.net we now have one in.

Included is an addon which adds these reskins as new units and an accompanying addon which replaces the desert skins with the woodland skins for use online and with previously-made singleplayer missions. Both files are signed for online use and the .bikey is included.

Huge thanks to ThePieSpy for his hard work. Since the question inevitably arises, he has given me express permission to use his textures.

Full Readme:

\\**Notes**//

This Woodland reskin of the BIS Bradleys was created by ThePieSpy, so thank him for his hard work. I merely wrote the config and reworked the textures into .paa format for ArmaII.

Also included is a replacement file which will override the default desert textures with the woodland ones for use online or with previously-released singleplayer missions.

Both .pbo's are signed and the .bikey is included.

\\**Requirements**//

This should only require Op. Arrowhead but I have not tested it on anything but Arma 2 & OA Combined Operations

\\**Installation**//

Place the files "TGW_M2A2_Woodland.pbo" and (if desired) "TGW_M2A2_Woodland_Rep.pbo" with the associated .bisign inside a modfolder.

How to use modfolders can be found here:

\\**Class Names**//

For the curious, the classnames of the woodland Bradleys are:

M2A2_EP1_TGW - M2A2 Bradley (Woodland)

M2A3_EP1_TGW - M2A3 Bradley (Woodland)

M6_EP1_TGW - M6 Linebacker (Woodland)

\\**Acknowledgment**//

Big, big thanks to ThePieSpy: these textures are totally his hard work. I only did the easy part.

Good to see this released man, probably wouldve been sitting on my hard drive for all of eternity had you not taken the time to get it ingame. The texture still has some hiccups here and there (mainly because the UV Maps are all over the place)

[gossamersolid 155]

thanks for letting morgan use the textures pie. This will make chernarus much more enjoyable. Hope to see more Woodland textures in the future :)

Wow he did an amazing job, I was working on a woodland pack of my own but this just blows it out of the water, can't wait to give these babies a spin.

Finally! You, sir, and ThePieSpy are true patriots :salute:

Should be a good counter-part to desert reskins for USMC

[roberthammer 582]

Really nice :) - those woodland skins should be done by bis :p

Addon causes bug with savegames. When trying to reload the savegame with the addon loaded (but no bradleys on the map at all) it says that the addon is missing and corrupts the savegame.

Nice!-Congratulations on the public release.

[Yaccozi 10]

Nice job, I was waiting for that. Thanks!

[dingyisun 10]

Good work on the addon. However, as one user previously mentioned, savegames are corrupted for some reason.

[BigMorgan 11]

What do you mean by save games being corrupted?

When you use the mod on a mission, then save, then try to resume that mission without the mod?

Or when you use the mod and try to load a previously saved mission?

[metalcraze 290]

When the mod is being used and you or the game make a savegame - then when you f.e. die and try to reload the game says that this addon is missing and the savegame can't be loaded - even though I didn't even leave the mission.

Note: bradleys aren't even present in the mission when the bug happens.

[BigMorgan 11]

I fixed some typos in my config that were causing the issue, thanks for providing some more detail as I hadn't thought to test that circumstance.

Hey guy's

Im trying to get this to work, I have OA and ArmA2 but when I spawn it in 3d Editor, They come out in Desert camo, Is it just me or does this require something?

[BigMorgan 11]

It shouldn't require anything. The unit you're spawning is called something like "M2A2 Bradley IFV (Woodland)" correct?

Were you using the replacement addon ("TGW_M2A2_Woodland_Rep.pbo") alone, perhaps?

[cr2142 10]

Na, I was spawning the Woodland one, I think I put both PBO. files into the Addons folder

[BigMorgan 11]

I can't reproduce your problem, sorry cr2142. I load the 3D editor and get woodland Brads.

[cr2142 10]

Ok, No probs

Nice skins though, Look nice

Im going to see if I can get them to work without the Res PBO.

Nop they don't seem to be working for me, I just try'd making another @folder inside my ArmA2 folder and deleted the other one, Then went into 3D Editor and they are still in Desert, then into the normal editor, In desert too.

[crusader_yn 10]

I just have same prb as cr, I installed ARMAII 1.0ver & OA 1.54ver and create folder named "@bradleyreskin", put the pbo & besign file in the

"ARMA II\@bradleyreskin\addons\" , use editor to create a woodland unit but still make out a desert camo.........:confused:

[makkuranin 19]

Same here. Try this without any other addons, only Arma2 and OA, with no luck.

[Th3Rul!ng@ss 10]

Same here, hope it get's fixed soon.

[gossamersolid 155]

They work fine for me, not sure what you guys are screwing up on.
