US Marines

[Binkowski 26]

Version 1.2 is here!

sup,

so here's the marines. these guys have been in development for quite sometime. over a year to be exact. they've had their ups and downs, and points where i just stopped working on them for awhile. i decided to try something a little different during the making of this addon. i decided to put aside my "i must do all the work by myself" pride, and looked for help from other character makers in the community. this was the end result. i must say, it's quite good. i figured i'd release these before i leave for annual training on monday.

anyway, enough of my soap-box. these guys are US Marines as the title says. they're wearing Eagle Scalable Plate Carriers (SPC) which is what US Marines currently use. these guys come in desert and woodland marpat. units are found under BLUFOR -> USMC -> Men (Woodland) and Men (Desert). there are 16 models but there are over 32 units. i used hiddenSelections to create the desert marpat guys, this keeps the filesize down and allows for more content. but enough of my talking, just download the addon and see for yourself.regarding the replacement packs; i had asked AnimalMother92 to make some for me and he did. but they were broken and causing errors. since i'm leaving i just let him know that if he happens to finish them and they work to release them.

Thanks to NSX and CameronMcDonald for the amazing screens!

Credits:

Johannes - Base SPC model and gear pouch models.

Special Thanks:

STALKERGB - he's the guy who weighed these models. without him, they wouldn't even be in game.

Rhodsey - re-did the SPC vest texture when mine was the suck.

Lennard - was my right hand man throughout this addon. he did a lot of model work, and improved texture details.

Sabre - did the super touch-ups and edits to the textures to make them even more boss, he also revamped the spc texture (again lol).

Fox'09 - provided me with the placement texture for the FROG utilities

NSX - took amazing screenshots for me.

CameronMcDonald - took the other awesome screenshots for me.

AAF - testing and motivation, probably one of the best (if not the best) groups in the arma2 community.

Known Bugs:

there are a few weighing issues (stretching) and weird things happening with the vests. these are not game breaking, and hardly noticeable. but don't complain, because at least they are weighed. and if you think you can do better please, indulge me.

some units may have a clipping side plate, still not sure why this is. but if you see it i do know about the issue and am working to fix it.

other than those, if you find something. be sure to post it in my tracker.

Great release Bink, good luck in Deutschland!

Looks good, hopefully that replacement pack will be finished soon. I can't stand those default ARMA 2 USMC guys.

Any word on what's happening to your Nomex USMC guys?

Binkowski's making Nomex USMC? That's news to me.

[W0lle 1050]

Thank. You.
