daveygarys Rangers

Recommended Posts

So i got a message on the BI FORUMS stating that i have used some questionable textures and was told to rectify the problem, as far as i knew i hadn't but to save an arguement i went ahead and re textured that image and here is the FINAL release before i leave lol (we have all heard that before) i had to do this as i didn't want it taken off the sites before i left and not being accessible for you guys!

all the above links have been updated with the new files and i have even thrown in my backpack mod and i fixed the crazy bug with the shades as it switches lods!!!

take care guys and i will see you on the flip side!

oh one last thing, i updated my ess tactical glasses pack and added am MFS helmet shield with a skull to one of the pilot helmets (for UH-60 Gun Crews)

Looks good, just a couple questions:

1. Does the skull face shield replace the regular one?

2. Could you possibly add a tinted visor in addition to the clear one?

You need the classname of the helmet/mask and you need to create a description file in the mission folder. Make sure that the unit does not have a mask or helmet on in the model because there will be clipping.

Not really. Just because its fan-made you should be able to air your impressions (<--questionable expression).

I know it would involved classnames, didnt know it would need a description.ext

Anyways, so its only able to use for players in the "player options" menu where you set the face and glasses etc? AI cant be configured to use it? only with the way you have said? Thanks.

Yeah, unfortunately you can't set glasses in the init like you can with faces.

AI can wear them too, you just have to give them a name and set their description in the description file too.

So, anyone care to make a script/mod to get these to work on AI then? thanks.

DaveyGary,

Im not sure, but i think im the only one receiving this error, each time i place a ranger in the mission editor, and press preview to play, it loads up completely, then crashes to the desk top straight away, would you have any idea whats doing this?

Regards.

So there is no update on normal upload? only by using the Six Updater? :confused:

You can either use the download links in the first post or use Six Updater, same files except they have working signatures on Six (signed with a six_rangers.bikey)

these are probably the best ranger units ive seen on here, they actually look like rangers! (+1000 for the ranger green vests and tan helmets!)

are there any plans to do them with the ACU/PCU combinations? (technically they would be downgrading camo wise since multicam is the new thing :p) but rangers in PCU look awesome, ive seen some that have tried to get the PCU look but it always just looks like a sage green re tex instead of a PCU jacket.

the pcu gear looks like this btw

i believe that thats the softshell level 5 jacket (same level jacket/pants as in this pic except these are PJs not rangers)

http://www.access-overseas.com/images/usaf_pcu_level5.JPG

the rangers in medal of honor have a similar gear combination, and in the mountain levels the devgru guys (AFO neptune) are in full PCU gear.

great job on these again btw!
