No biggie, just didn't want anybody to think we're claiming that to be our work.

"Kinzhal" operatives, PRSZ's Police SF Group:

Officers from the South Zagorian Police's "Kinzhal" Group bar the entrance to Krasnostav airfield to journalists. Yesterday undisclosed NATO souces leaked that ousted Takistani President Behnam Kadivar may have been flown to South Zagoria while the new Takistani junta negotiates the terms of Kadivar's exile in Moscow with Russian Federation representatives.

South Zagorian police officers arrest four persons for chaining themselves to the entrance of the Education Ministry in Chernogorsk, protesting for the closure of the last school which taught on Chernarussian language. Two weeks ago South Zagoria's authorities passed a law establishing Russian as the only valid language on the education system.

Great work Asier!

Looking great PCDF, keep up the great work :)

[gossamersolid 155]

Sorry for the long time it's taking to release 1.05, but there are so many textures in PCDF that I'm not happy with, so I have to re-do them. There's also a lot of polishing I'd like to do on the existing units. I've noticed that pretty much all the new tanks lack destruct/damage textures and I really want to fix that.

So many fixes, so little time haha

You can use the default BIS damage textures and they don't look too bad. Followed Gnat's tutorials to add them to my vehicles. May be a quick fix if you want to release now and polish the damage tex later.

Oh I have no problem using the BIS damage/destruct textures, just have to properly set it up in the configs. Do you have a link to that tutorial?

[belgerot 33]

Excellent set of screens! I really like the direction this mod is heading, simple idea that adds a new dynamic and resurrects the original campaign.

I would keep the damage and destuct rvmats pretty much the same as your default ones to start and just add damage and destruct detail and macro maps as needed. You can then tone down the specularity if you need to.

Thanks max, I'll spend some time with this.

I looked at that tutorial and there's an image that's broken right in the middle of the tutorial. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but I cannot seem to get it working.

I'll msg you on Skype, max, if you have some free time.

will you be able to make groups? what I mean is for example when you go to editor you can add groups of units.

((Kinda need it :-|))

Small suggestion: What about some sort of new camouflage? :D or perhaps desert units?

Groups and desert units will come one day, but unfortunately there are only two of us and we're both pretty busy.

[Sakowski 1]

I see...

Well either way how is the custom weapon going, any updates?

And a small question, do you think the current camouflage fits a map like lingor map perhaps? for units and vehicles?

The custom weapons are now being handled by somebody else who offered. I'm not sure how far they have progressed.

The current camo for both vehicles and infantry should be fine for lingor and any other tropical/temperate landscape.

[Sakowski 1]

Here are some of my suggestions :D

1. Modify RPK - get rid of some wooden stuff, change barrel add some sight and maybe a drum magazine? :D

2. Add some western aircrafts? Mirage III, F-4, Panavia Tornado ADV?

3. More cars, like western transport vehicles (big vehicles)

4. Some sort of airplane where you can paradrop units?

5. Special Paradrop units, differ camouflaged soldiers and so on?

Is the faction still called CDF or PCDF (scripting wise e.g faction_cdf or faction_pcdf) ?

Pcdf already has two cargo planes in it and c130 for sure

Groups are an easy config add. I'd recommend you looking at other mods see how they do groups and then do your own groups. If they are done well you can give them to gossamer and that will save him some work. Just my two cents

Yeah the CDF have the C-130J already. I plan to (sometime in the future) add the AN-72 (Or is it the 74? I forget).

I made a post a while back asking for contributers to PCDF. If anybody wishes to contribute work, feel free.

If you have the MLODs from any of my vehicles, they all have working damage textures and the vehicle damage RVMATS as well... ditto for all of my boats. So you should have plenty of MLODs to play with :) I followed Gnat's tut to the letter and got it to work. I think I read it on OFPEC.

That being said... make sure every texture has three textures listed in the damage section. The "normal", the "half damage", and the "full damage". Repeat for each of the textures. You will probably only need the first few and leave it at that. You can "damagehide" anything else like the little bits and pieces of the model.

ANother thing is to make sure the sizes are the same as your texture. If they aren't then the BIS damage texture won't apply properly. e.g. damage_1024x1024 for that size texture, etc.

Hope this helps - EDIT - for some reason his tut in OFPEC still has all the pics:

You haven't Skyped me yet but feel free. It's what you have my Skype contact for :)

[gossamersolid 155]

Thanks pookie, I'll check that link out and your MLODs (I have your BRDM2 pack sitting on the P: drive).

I'll get on Skype tonight Max, if I'm still having issues (which I probably will hahah).

[Sakowski 1]

Just a random play around in editor with PCDF in Lingor Island :P some how I tend to love their camouflage more and more lol

Few CDF men from 18th Pechota Pluk (Infantry Regiment) training in the FOB Hrom in Lingor Islands

Half of CDF 18th Pechota Pluk (Infantry Regiment) being inspected by the General. Remaining units from 18th Pechota Pluk will be transported to Lingor Island in no time as there were technical problems with the Carrier.

Cannot wait for more stuff added, I think I gave a suggestion before, Western units really need a officer!

Western guys are getting a bit of a makeover for next version, I'll post screenshots when they are done.
